PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh police say an intruder entered a woman's home and groped her in the shower before she was able to scare him away.

Police say the woman's front door was unlocked when the incident occurred about 8:30 p.m. Thursday at a residence on the South Side, a working class neighborhood that has been redeveloped with numerous bars, restaurants and clubs.

The man didn't have a weapon, but police say he was wearing a hooded sweat shirt which he used to cover his face when he stepped into the shower with the 23-year-old woman and grabbed her from behind.

Police believe the suspect is a white man in his early 20s, but they've yet to identify a suspect or arrest anyone.

I like my door locked if I'm inside. I really don't want to deal with somebody randomly walking in. Call me paranoid, but considering it is so easy to lock while I close the door it isn't like I'm going out-of-my way for a false sense of security.

Why is that so weird to you?

My door is locked... ALWAYS. Even when I was living in the countryside of New York State, I had my door locked and bolted.

Our doors are only locked when we are sleeping or when everyone is away.

When it is necessary to lock your doors when your in your own house, think about moving to a friendlier neighborhood. (it should not be necessary to lock your doors!)

how about when its not necessary, but you do it anyways? we've always locked our doors when we dont need them open, and we live in a very safe town

Logic prevails again! :D

    • I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.
    • For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.
    • So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
