That is just a collection of posts about what VPN everyone is using. Hardly explanatory of how VPNs work and why they sometimes fail. Track down my earlier post if that's what you're looking for. Edit: the earlier posts on VPN usage were around July 19th in this thread.

What? You didn't know Elon and Greta both have Asperger's? Likely the reason behind their intense focus on whatever they're involved in.

I don't think there's a VPN thread. Go back and read my response to your questions in this thread about VPNs and smart dns when you were having issues months ago. No need to type it all in again. There should probably be a VPN thread. I wouldn't think any of that is illegal.

And today he's saying all the companies stopping advertising are going to kill X(formerly twitter). Bipolar much? Maybe it's the Asperger's disease he has progressing. Interesting that Greta also shares that same affliction.

In the words of Kevin Costner, “if you build it (railroad), they will come“.

The days of using a single browser are long gone. Some block ads better, some allow external download managers, some are blocked by cloudflare, etc, etc. I find, depending on what I'm doing, bounce between them frequently, even to the point of copying links from one browser to another to get an external download mgr. Someone suggested Iron, so I downloaded it and am posting this from there. Works with AN. Many others don't. Other browsers used are: Kiwi (Android) Vivaldi (Linux) Brave (Android)(Linux) Chrome(Android)(Linux) Chromium (chrome without all the info sent to Google)(Android) Opera (not so much any more)(Android)(Linux)

Add some android apps to do the streaming. Use kodi as a media player for videos you actually have in your system, as it is meant to.

Yada yada yada

Didn't you post this exact topic a couple of months ago?

And wait for it... He will give all the details in a few weeks/days/months. Like the tax returns he said he was going to release when the nonexistent audit was over. And the maga moron cult will all suck it up like it's manna from heaven.

I read somewhere that the latest covid strain is much more prevalent in children than the earlier strains were...

I had something similar. I couldn't lift my arm above my shoulder for a long time, not 20 years but more than one. You're going to kick yourself if what I had done fixes the pain. Go to a Dr. Get a cortisone shot. The Dr should be able to determine where to do the shot from your description. My pain was gone within a couple of days and hasn't returned. No problem raising my arm any more.

Good that things are looking a bit better. Always a good sign. If they had a pic of the blockage, if it was calcium it would be a fairly bright white.

If you recall, was the stroke caused by a blood clot that broke free or a chunk of calcium broken off of the plaque on the artery walls? Blood thinners are one preventative method for blood clots caused by afib. Apparently low dose aspirin will help with the broken off plaque.

Make conspicuous videos of her every time she shows up, maybe by your current partner. She should, but probably won't, curtail her activities due to this, but at least you'll have a video record that you control which cannot be sliced and diced to show something that didn't happen.

https://www.americanprogress.org/article/trumps-syria-shambles/ President Donald Trump’s October 6, 2019, decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northeastern Syria has thrown a previously stabilized part of the war-torn country back into chaos. This rash decision—absent any coordination with U.S. allies or Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) partners on the ground—paved the way for a long-threatened Turkish incursion into Syria. As predicted by outside experts and professionals within the U.S. government, the incursion has sparked further violence, displaced hundreds of thousands of people, and forced the SDF to cut a deal with the Assad regime and its Russian backers.1 It has also shattered American credibility and set off a mad dash by all sides to fill the security vacuum left by the U.S. withdrawal. This issue brief provides background information on the American withdrawal decision and subsequent Turkish incursion, considers the risks of long-term instability caused by these events, and outlines steps the United States could take to salvage what it can from the situation and begin to reset its increasingly adversarial relationship with Turkey.

Not that it makes me think of Dolly Parton...

Yes, good science fiction is complex. It was all relatively simple if you were following the plot. Maybe you can find some cookie cutter crime dramas where it's all laid out with the bad guy always getting caught and the police never making mistakes.

The police obviously complained that they couldn't shake down pot users so they needed to make it a bribable offence. Consider the alternative. When Thaksin was PM in the 90s I think, it was ok to shoot suspected dealers with no repercussions.

When I lived in the Philippines, my main method of bringing money into the country was depositing a check from my account in a US bank and deposit it into my local PI US dollar account. It would take about a month to clear, but it got US dollars into the Philippines at absolutely no cost. Flash forward to trying to do the same thing here. The bank treated me like I was a criminal. When they saw I had a book of blank checks it confirmed (to them) their suspicions. They even were pointing out the blank checks to each other as if they had never seen a customer with them before. Then they told me there was a $100+ fee to deposit the check. I gave up. So the point of this rant, Thais don't use checks. The article says people. Does this mean corporations can write bad checks too without penalty?

The second season of The Lazarus Project has dropped. Since I had the first season (unwatched) on my NAS, I decided to watch a bit of it before downloading season 2. Wow, intelligent science fiction for a change, without all the CGI crap. Rated 6.5 on IMDb, but don't believe that, most there want CGI and marvel nonsense. Highly recommended. Oh, and the main antagonist is the guy from Strike, Tom Burke.

You miss the whole point. It's not about the 10k this guy owed. It's the 50 other people that owe 10k each that have been “slow“ to pay. Now they will have incentive to pay promptly. Business wise, it's a good choice for the loan shark to eat this loss because they will gain so much more elsewhere.

Not this stuff. Don't “nok“ it until you try it.

Too bad there's no video. I'm sure faux news won't have it. Probably CNN will, though.

I've owned lots of speakers. None of them except subwoofers required them to be plugged into the mains. You need an amplifier to take the output from your computer, up the output, and feed the speakers. Or just use headphones.
