Is there any way to block specific telephone numbers from calling you? I keep getting wrong-numbers from the SAME couple of people for years now.

Question: I just got a spam email with the subject "Big penis is like an expensive car." What is this supposed to mean?

It is trying to say that both are awesome. I never use my e-mail, it's filled to the brim with useless spam.

Every time they do it, be so very, very, abusive that they become affraid to make the same mistake.

I dont.

 

[Arakhor]

Just delete and block it. It'll be fine.

Stop signing up to social media and blog guestbooks.

And if you need to, simply register a new email address w/ the service you prefer, and use that email as your "junk" email and login.

Don't post your email address on public forums as well.

Which of the following countries would be the best choice for an American to permanently emigrate to if one so desired? More specifically which would be the easiest to do so?

United Kingdom, Canada, or Australia?

 

[Arakhor]

Certainly not Australia. Even British people have a job getting down south.

 

[Cutlass]

Well, you can get into Canada without even giving your name. After you're there, find a job and a place before telling anyone

Does a scanner do any damage to a comic book's cover?

I can't find my camera but still have some comics to list on eBay, so I'm not sure if I should use it or not.

Does it make a difference if they're in a bag and board?

 

[Cutlass]

Shouldn't matter. But I only did it a couple times. One exposure should do no harm. Many exposures might.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I only get a few spams a day and never in the inbox. So its not a big deal

EDIT: I also ought to mention what I call the "Benmont spam." A few years ago, as a dumb joke, some friend (now an ex-friend) signed me up for a bunch of dumb email newsletters and stuff under Benmont Tench (look up that name) and thats when the spam started.

I heard that like nowadays in Spanish, English used to have feminine and masculine forms for words. I don't know if it was in Old English or Middle English but I just know there is no such concept in modern english.

My question is are there any archaic words that maybe are mostly unchanged in modern english that have a masculine and feminine form AND mean the same thing between the forms? I'm just thinking there has got to be at least a small handful of really old words that still conform to this rule.

You imigrate to somewhere, emigrate from somewhere.

Also, Canada is terrible, stay away.

 

[Arakhor]

You mean words like actor/actress or executor/executrix, Xanikk?

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Moderator/Moderatrix too

Why is my mom printing out a ton of blank sheets on her printer?

sounds like morbus kalanakariminokovski, a serious disease of the brainstem.
