- Comment on Are any calls without caller ID legit? 2 days ago:
I called 911 a few years ago and they had a police officer call me back when he got to my neighborhood. I had to do this a few times as the incident repeated a few days later. Each time the officer called me his number was hidden.
That’s the only time I’ve ever had a call from a hidden number that was not a scam, but I would be hesitant to block them all

I have some bad news for you - any random idiot with a driver’s license and a two-ton death machine already puts your ass at risk, all the time. We call it “traffic” because we’ve just gotten used to it
- Comment on What do you do if you encounter a skunk? 2 weeks ago:
Everyone I know who has had a skunk spray was due to one of two causes:
1). They ran it over with their car or 2). Their dog attacked it
In general skunks are very reticent to actually spray. I’ve never known anyone to get it from just walking by. I knew someone who blocked a skunk with their shoe from running in the house, because they mistook it for their cat.
From what I understand, they have poor eyesight and hearing, so in my experience they usually don’t even notice you. They are a wild animal though so the important thing would be to not surprise them. I think if you make noise, keep your distance, and never corner one you should be fine.
