[NYPOST] The Brooklyn McDonald’s worker who was shot in the neck in a spat over cold fries has died, cops announced Friday.
Matthew Webb, 23, "departed this vale of tears" after he was shot Monday outside the Bedford-Stuyvesant fast-food restaurant where he worked, the NYPD said.
The attack "has been deemed a homicide," the force said early Friday, stressing that "the investigation remains ongoing."
Michael Morgan, 20, has already been charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a loaded firearm for blasting Webb in anger at his mom getting served cold fries.
He is expected to face upgraded homicide charges, prosecutors told a court hearing Thursday, even before Webb’s death was confirmed.
Webb was toiling at the Fulton Street eatery on Monday evening when Morgan’s mom, Lisa Fulmore, complained to workers that her fries were cold and asked to speak to a manager.
When the workers began laughing at her, Fulmore was FaceTiming with Morgan, who came to the restaurant and got into a fight with Webb that spilled out onto the sidewalk.
Morgan punched Webb in the face and when he got back up, he pulled out a gun and blasted him in the neck, prosecutors alleged.

One of my fondest memories with my Dad was one day having a hamburger and mulkshake at Daggs (a Mc Donalds like hamburger joint). I was pretty young kid then.
Thanks!
[FoxNews] Jose Gomez III pleaded guilty to finding knives in a Texas Sam's club and slashing an Asian family inside the store in March 2020.
Was he upset about Covid? And now the answer:
A Texas man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for an assault against an Asian family at a Sam's Club store in what officials have described as a "hate crime" stemming from coronavirus-related discrimination.
Jose Gomez III, 21, of Midland, Texas, pleaded guilty to attacking an Asian family with young children on March 14, 2020, because he believed the Chinese were responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Pandemic-driven and racially-motivated acts of violence are deplorable crimes, and the Justice Department stands ready to use our hate crimes laws to hold perpetrators accountable," Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, said in a Thursday statement. "Hate crimes targeting Asian Americans have spiked during the pandemic and must be confronted. All people deserve to feel safe and secure living in their communities, regardless of race, color or national origin."
Gomez did not know the family but assumed they were Chinese and proceeded to follow them around because he believed they were a "threat" from the country that "started spreading that disease around," according to the Justice Department, citing statements made during his guilty plea.

...reached peak grim during Covid as its the major city around the Navajo Nation. The Navajo suffer from the modern plague (though it looks like the Greens are working on a solution) of abundant and readily available food. They have extremely high levels of diabetes and morbidly overweight. Covid went through the community like a fire.
The Good:
[BLS] Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 528,000 in July, and the unemployment rate edged down to 3.5 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Jobgrowth was widespread, led by gains in leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, and health care.
The bad:
The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons increased by 303,000 to 3.9 million in July. This rise reflected an increase in the number of persons whose hours were cut due to slack work or business conditions.
The Ugly (because Y over Y inflation was 9.1%, the info below means employees lost):
In July, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 15 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $32.27. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 5.2 percent. In July, average hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees rose by 11 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $27.57.

[OffThePress] Almost every sea turtle born on the beaches of Florida in the past four years has been female, according to scientists.
The rise in female baby turtles comes as a result of intense heatwaves triggered by a growing climate crisis that is significantly warming up sands.
If a turtle’s eggs incubate below 27C (82F), the turtle hatchlings will be male, accoeding to the National Ocean Service. If the eggs incubate above 31C (89F), the hatchlings will be female. Temperatures that waver between the two extremes will result in a mix of male and female baby turtles.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] AA boss urges drivers to protect their fob in a metal box after his £55,000 Lexus was stolen - as drivers are warned HALF of cars are sitting ducks.
The boss of AA is encouraging motorists to keep their keyless car fobs inside a secure pouch, locked in a box and then placed inside a microwave after hackers stole his wife's £50,000 car.
Edmund King, one of Britain's leading motorist experts, said that thieves intercepted his wife Deidre's car key signal and were able to steal the keyless Lexus.
He now keeps his car fobs securely in a wired pouch that blocks the hacker's signal, locked inside a red metal box, and then places the box in a microwave at the very back of his house.

^^ Also just wrapping the keyfob in heavy tinfoil a couple times seems to work pretty well, too. Used a friend's industrial RF sniffer probe and my 1GHz spectrum scope (yeah, I know we're geeks) to test this method. Fobs usually operate in the 300-500 MHz range, FYI.
A little leakage right next to the wrapped fob (probably how we wrapped it), but nothing over 6 inches away.

^^ Or an 'Off' button/switch. They'd just charge $300-500 more unfortunately.

Why doesn't the car shut itself off when the FOB signal is lost?

There was this guy's Bentley which had a lockbox I needed to get into. The locksmith said there was a thumbprint recognition thingy in the stupid box. I went at it like a delinquent with a hammer, pliers, screwdriver, everything. No give. Enraged, we kidnapped the guy, beat him senseless and opened the shitty box with his thumb. All the while he was trying to tell us something but we didn't speak his Malayalam.
It was much later we realized the box had a keyhole too, concealed in the side. The locksmith had probably seen it earlier but didn't even mention it out of fear all the time. Hee hee hee...

My brother told me of a 'anti-theft' device he cobbled together for his Harley Shovelhead motorcycle (yes, it was a long time ago). He had a box covering the battery and there were four toggle switches that had to be flipped up or down in the right order to get any electricity. More of a deterrent because a really motivated thief would just drive up and toss the bike in a truck and leave...

They are doing away with the fob / push to start setup because too many idiots are leaving their cars running.

Coming from the other side of the coin, its all fun and games until driver 1 takes off with the FOB, and driver 2 is left stranded when the FOB gets out of range.

I have found buying a Stupid Simple $19.99 Driveway Alarm and placing the transmitter in the car and the receiver next to the bed has interrupted a few Mid-night visits. Shaking car will set it off if positioned on the hump of the Dashboard.
