So make fun all you want, but the fact is, in some places, broadband is not reasonably available. Note that I said "REASONABLY". I could pay a bundle for a little bit of service every month, but it's not worth it.

I'm angling toward it having something to do with Windows 10, given how many Windows applications that apparently automatically run themselves in the background (like Photo, Skype, and Cortana) are all listed as "Suspended" in Task Manager. But I'm not completely certain that it's the update that's at fault.

Do Bill and Hillary Clinton have an agreement at this point to stay together simply to keep up appearances?
Miki Fenn, studied History Education at Columbia College Answered 26m ago
I don't think they stay together to keep up appearances. I believe there are two reasons why they stayed married. First, Hillary thought being married to Bill would help her win the election. Obviously it didn't.
Legally they are better off married because it is illegal for a spouse to have to testify in Court against their spouse. I'm sure Bill and Hillary know a lot about each other. Marriage means they will never have to testify under oath in a Court of Law about what the other did.

This storm took everyone by surprise. It was just supposed to snow about an inch in the morning and then change over to rain. It didn't start changing over until late afternoon, by which time 3-4" of snow had accumulated.
Accuweather is still calling for it to warm up and change to rain during the night, so hopefully most of it will be gone in the morning.

"Crossing the T or capping the T is a classic naval warfare tactic used from the late 19th to mid 20th centuries, in which a line of warships crosses in front of a line of enemy ships, allowing the crossing line to bring all their guns to bear while receiving fire from only the forward guns of the enemy"

they are banking the whole PGE is responsible thing from the report that they saw a short in a line near where the fire started.
But, if a fire started, then burned down a pole, the lines often melt together, causing a short... which is then detected.
The question become, which is cause, which is effect.

If the nonstop barrage of wildfires that ate up hundreds of thousands of acres and hundreds of homes in our county was the wrath of G-d, I don't know what on earth we did to call it down on us, or why Denver-Boulder got missed by all the bad ones.
I have a feeling that line of logic doesn't account for it.

Interesting take. I thought one of the most interesting points of the article was that Schultz or Watterson could have helped the comic strip survive the decline of publishing. I never thought Charlie Brown was funny or that interesting. I loved the specials. I think the merchandise and the specials are more popular than the comics.

Cuz it seems like vetoing the bill to have the utility companies start burying some of their lines in high risk areas and cut brush around the overhead lines was because FOOKING Moonbeam wanted the state burning to advance the BS CAGW narrative. Of course Californians voted for him rather than the icky ebay founder that McCain was always harping about, but the 40% that knew better are in the WASTF boat along with the hippie idiots.

Why? Because almost every other comic strip was either an old-fashioned joke factory (Nancy), or a low-budget-looking action-violence movie in storyboard form (Steve Canyon).
In Peanuts, all you had were these plainly drawn children, in a plainly drawn setting, discussing things like philosophy... yearnings... depression... emotions... failure... all the "big topics."
It wasn't just about the punchlines, although Schulz did try to deliver on those as well, at least some of the time.

INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - Indiana is one of just five states without a hate crime law. There's a growing push to change that in the new year.
The Indy Chamber, United Way of Central Indiana and the Jewish Community Relations Council of Indianapolis are among the groups leading the effort, saying it's not just the right thing to do, it's also right for economic development.
David Sklar with the JCRC noted that anti-Jewish hate crimes across the country rose 37% last year. He said the vandalism of a Carmel synagogue last summer and the massacre at the Pittsburgh synagogue has "the Jewish community here on edge...we believe a law will absolutely have tangible effects," but he said even if it's only symbolic, "As Jewish Hoosiers we need our state to stand up and make a statement."

If you've got a young child in your life, chances are they like to make slime.
Now they're going to be able to eat it too.
JELL-O Edible Slime stretches and feels firm if you squeeze it, but will also pour and drip like a liquid. The Unicorn Slime has a strawberry flavor, so after the kids are done playing with it, they can eat it.
Parents and children just add water to a pre-made mix to create the slime.

16 and 17 years old. We had been on a state wide burn ban for 3 months because it hadn't rained in 5 or 6 months. They were in a somewhat remote part of the Smokies an hour to hour and a half drive from their residences.
There was no doubt in my mind they were there to set fires.
Those fires killed a lot of people. I was pretty sick about the DA not doing jack-squat about it, but he balked saying that it was federal land, so they had the jurisdiction.

So your rant that it's the dummy users with THEIR ancient alien gods tech that prevents you from giffing away, that just ain't fair. In fact, it's the tech savvy users that blew up most of the original features of the comment system, making Pixy reduce it to a skeleton of itself. fwiw.

Ohio was mostly red oak forest when the white guys showed up. That was the result of subsistence farming and burning off the forest to make new farmland when they exhausted the farmland they were using.
So the red oak forests were the result of all the Indian burning. For centuries. My nephew, who studied this in college, told me this.

I've made many GIFs over the years, mostly small and few frames, using my own software. Just recently, I used gif.com and created a GIF from the video of Hillary bus crashing in the parking garage. (Link in nic. Run to see it ICYMI)
That site didn't ask me about re-sizing or frames per second or any other mod, just "from here to here" in the video, and zap. I was surprised how big the final file was.
So, I think a lot of modern GIFs are made that way, big size, many frames, and so long load times. Many could be better.

Many's the time I've regaled the Horde with the tale of Aunt Lilly (a hunting buddy's great aunt) who'd get up around 0400 and start cooking our breakfast. The heavenly smell would get us up, no alarm needed.
It was a big ol' table so full of eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, gravy, coffee and our previous day's rabbit fried up like chicken. We ate like we'd be walking in fields all day long. Damn, that lady could cook.

Ex-husband. Terry The Bitch Barton initially claimed she was burning letters from the guy, and accidentally started it that way.
Later investigators and interrogators ascertained that this was bullshit. That she did it on purpose so she could put it out and be a big hero. Total psycho dumbass.
They made a shady deal with her to get sentenced by the judge, because a jury would've thrown the whole damn book at her, and she was one of their own.
Then they shipped out another judge on appeal who overturned the original judge on an even shadier conflict-of-interest justification (he had been evacuated lime everyone else in the middle of the state).
The whole thing just reeked.

And in the sidebar to the Grauniad story, is a link to a story about Alberta's rat patrol, whose task it is to keep Alberta rat-free. And they get 'er done. Alberta has zero breeding populations of rats. That is a big deal, you know. And they have a photo of the head rat hunter, taken in the town of Langdon. I know folks from Langdon. Nice little place, now sadly becoming a bedroom community to Calgary.

Biggest takeaway there is to focus only on things that make you happy, or at least make you feel better. Give a bare minimum of attention to anything else.
And appreciate the heck out of whatever you come across that does that for you. Savor it at night. Go over your day and instead of focusing on the bad, latch on to everything/the one thing that was good and think about how much you appreciate that.
You get more of what you focus on, my son, so focus on the GOOD.

My (vague) understanding is that Melania was pissed off at her for short-sheeting her staff on arrangements for travel, accommodations, security, etc. It sounded to me like the lady had a bone to pick with FLOTUS, and was being passive aggressive about it, and maybe just pushed it too far.
Or maybe her husband asked her to provide a justification for him to release an unwanted employee. Who knows?

A new study suggests a majority of women who date men really like a guy with with facial hair ... but not too much.
The study surveyed about 8,500 women.
Researchers found a majority of the women preferred men with 10 days' worth of facial hair growth, which they described as "light to heavy stubble."
Next in order of preference were men with full beards, then those with light stubble.
Men who were clean-shaven were ranked as the least attractive by study participants.

Thank you for breaking the code.
Now I have another question. I was looking at a recipe for Cajun fried chicken. You mix the dry spices and a few drops of hot sauce and spread them over the cut-up chicken pieces. They can sit in the fridge for a day, to penetrate the meat. Then this recipe says to place those pieces into a fresh bowl and pour a cup of buttermilk over them. Then take them out of the buttermilk, place in a new bowl and toss with flour.

A lot of people don't know, Schulz and Stan Lee were contemporaries and, I believe, friends (at least professionally).

A great sourdough boule is mighty good with butter!
But I would not complain about a biscuit hot out of the oven!
Funny you should mention sourdough bread. B'Gal mentioned that she'd never eaten it before, so I got a small loaf from the Publix bakery. She didn't care for it much, but I thought it was pretty good. First time I'd had their sourdough bread.

Schulz could draw *very* realistically, and in the style of the classic action comics. He also praised those artists' abilities, when he taught art classes off and on throughout the 1970s.

You soak it in the buttermilk overnight, or at least for a few hours.
Season the flour with the spices.

I admit it goes way back. I got bullied and my parents' way of dealing with it, rather than teaching me to fight back, was to teach me to be avoidant.
So when I graduated HS and all the other kids got to go to Grad Night at Disneyland... my parents told me no, you can't go. (Didn't help that my crush in my senior year, who hated my guts, loved Disneyland and was going.)
Interestingly, since then, for whatever reason, whenever anyone in my family goes to DL, I don't get invited. Don't ask me why, my name just never comes up. It's weird but it happens. Even today, my 13-year-old niece would much rather go to Knott's than Disneyland. (Although I admit she's told me she'll go with me to either one, someday.)
Anyway, I admit a lot of it is leftover bitterness about high school and being unpopular with women. I know it's not rational.

A new study suggests a majority of women who date men really like a guy with with facial hair ... but not too much.
The study surveyed about 8,500 women.
Researchers found a majority of the women preferred men with 10 days' worth of facial hair growth, which they described as "light to heavy stubble."
Next in order of preference were men with full beards, then those with light stubble.
Men who were clean-shaven were ranked as the least attractive by study participants.

- Charlie calls Chuck Lorre a name. Two seconds later, Charlie is fired by Chuck Lorre.

I recently had that problem with my phone. Would run very hot and go through charge absurdly fast. It turned out to be the MoviePass app. Since it had become useless I uninstalled it, even though my subscription was supposed to be through the end of this month.
Lo and behold, after a reboot my phone was fixed. I t was expecting to need a new phone, something I can ill afford right now, even if I settled for something that wouldn't an upgrade.
So review the apps you've installed on the Fire and consider uninstalling them one by one on a temporary basis to see if any of them have gone rogue. Check to see if any updates are pending first, since the problem may be known and corrected in a newer version.

I will pray for your second cousin.
Here is a little prayer "
We give you thanks to you, Lord God that in your great love, you sent Jesus your only begotten to take the form of a servant for us all , becoming obedient even to death on a cross, and so you gave us an example of servanthood. Increase within your servant being ordained on Sunday, the gift of the Holy Spirit that they may be faithful to their promises and constant in their discipleship of loving service. May they be modest and humble, gentle and strong, that having the assurance of faith, rejoicing in hope and grounded in love that they may share in the ministry of Jesus Christ to the glory of God the Father and lift up Jesus and others wherever they are going to serve.
If you want to send me their first name to FenelonDirection18 at sign g mail.com so I can pray for them by name, I will be glad to do so

The area of Malibu that just burned up is hills with tall dry grass, and narrow canyons. Both are terrible places to be in a fire, and those hills are especially fire prone. They burn fairly regularly.
Within the next year or two, torrential rains will hit the burnt areas, that will cause horrific mudslides. Happens every time after a bad fire season.
It's almost like there are reliable weather patterns or something.

As a human being he's a dick.
I'd bet if he had his way no one would be allowed to make money off their talent. Capitalism would be banned and artistic talent would die on the vine because of 'muh principles'
Like I said a dick.
He'd be a sjw twitter posse leader if he wasn't such a recluse.
Rather than have his vanity and ego subsumed by someone else's talent at marketting he'd rather throw his creation in a dumpster and that's almost what he did.

Sure you feel okay about it. What's the harm?
The harm is they're obsession or addiction is being fed by allowing them to view it over and over and over again.
You're not teaching them restraint and you're feeding instant gratification cycles that someone or some situation will call a halt to and they they're going to take all the tantrum they've stored up and spew it out during that situation. And it's going to cost them and they won't know why.
Next you are surrendering your own autonomy and taste to a bunch of what 5 year olds? That's not good for you. It shows you'd rather give in that do the right thing but the hard thing.
And that's the other thing you're teaching them. If they piss and moan often enough they'll get their way.
They're well on the road to living in your basement and not being able to hold a job.

Posted by: Polliwog the 'Ette
If you are still here:
All of these devices have the same problem. LiOH batteries have a set number of charges/discharges before they start getting weak and go out entirely. My original Samsung Gal Tab III has the same problem. If I use it I have to have it continuously plugged in. My new 8" Samsun has the same problem now, but it has just started getting weaker.
But the real crappy thing is that even though the batteries are considered "consumables" there is no way to change them without totally dismantling the device down to scratch. So these devices have a built in use life and then fail.
And that should be unacceptable in a device that costs around $300. But you had best back up all your files to your computer before it fails completely. Then you can restore them to a new device and start over.

You already know the answer as by Grace all are redeemed.
We want to know freedom but the sacrifice required is yesteryear.
We want to know the story of the wrongly accused but no one is waiting to ascend the cross.
We all know it is unfathomable.
You want to know what will change things I understand this.
We will have to wait and see.
Why do why cherish the prison break story and jail/execute transgressors ?

The gallant Navy agreed.
With one thousand sections in different directions,
My God, what a fucked-up stampede.
Fuck 'em all, fuck 'em all
The long and the short and the tall.
Fuck all the admirals who give us the flak;
They don't give a shit if we ever come back.
So we're saying goodbye to them all,
As over the gangplank we crawl.
There'll be no promotion this side of the ocean,
So cheer up, my lads, fuck 'em all.
They say there's a convoy that's leaving New York,
Bound for those Blighty shores;
Heavily laden with tanks and with planes,
Shit for old Adolf, of course.
Fuck 'em all, fuck 'em all
The long and the short and the tall.
Fuck all the captains and all the mates too,
Fuck the engineers and the whole God-damn crew.
So we're saying goodbye to them all,
As back to our rustpots we crawl.
We'll start a commotion that side of the ocean,
So cheer up, my lads, fuck 'em all.
They sent for the nurses to come overseas,
The reason was perfectly clear:
To make a good marriage and push a good carriage
While fucking all hands, my dear.
Fuck 'em all, fuck 'em all
The long and the short and the tall.
Fuck all the blond cunts and all the brunettes;
Don't be too choosey, just fuck all you gets.
So we're saying goodbye to them all,
As over back to our rustpots we crawl.
You'll et no erection at short-arm inspection,
So cheer up, my lads, fuck 'em all.

I also see he going after Jerome Corsi and Roger Stone for lying, what lie?

It's a good thing Trump listened to General Kelly and didn't dump all of the evidence of how crooked and corrupt this shit is before the election, might have influenced a few races, wouldn't want that.

i admire both cartoonists, watterson for his expansion of the comic strip & schulz for how much he gets from so little. but i think i fall on the side of schulz - not for his commercialism, but for his responsibilities to his craft and audience.
i'm reminded of the great barry sanders' abrupt retirement. i respect his following his personal ethos above fame and fortune, but he broke a contract and let down his many fans.

Here's the problem with all of this, I wouldn't be upset with the GOP going the way of the DoDo's if it meant a new party would rise to take it's place but they have used their power and position to prevent any group from either taking control from within or challenging them from without while at the same time ceding irreclaimable ground to the Democrats who have become evil and satanic.
Putting us perilously close to we the people being subsumed beneath the zombie hoards.
The GOP has pretty much been wiped out on the coasts, California may be down to just a handful of representatives in California, NY, NJ and the rest of the NE this election and are making strong inroads in the MidWest so that the house reverts to Democrat control for generations similar to the period from '35 to '94 where the Donks had, with the exception of 4 years, uniterruppted control of the house for 60 years.
And now with their outright election fraud being taken out for a spin this election cycle, the Trump years are looking more and more like a last gasp, a dead cat bounce, the final shudder of the corpse of America before all is lost.

For years I mowed by push mower, got exercise but took a couple of hours. Now with my JD, I can finish it off in less than an hour. Also good at blowing leaves. The dealer told me not to by a mulching mower because they plug up when your mowing wet grass/leaves. So I just run over them, blow them into a row and mulch with the 20 year old Toro mulcher. (I hate raking)

Our 150-year-old house in Ohio was surrounded by huge, old trees that dumped tons of leaves in the Fall. I had a riding mower for the 3 acres and would mulch all the leaves, much to Her Majesty's disgust. She felt I ought to rake, blow and grind them up in a chipper (the worst power equipment purchase I ever made). Of course, she wasn't the one who was doing it.

This is my No-Music Friday, where I don't listen to any of my music, work on my playlists, look for new things to acquire or even touch a CD.
It came about because I found out, rather to my surprise, that the Catholic Friday-fast-and-abstinence rule wasn't abolished, just modified. Some other act of penance can be substituted. And, living on the Gulf Coast, seafood is so delicious that eating it is no act of atonement. But not listening to my music is.

It would be funny if every a-hole who protests border security or ICE would be contacted by the government and told that they must now sponsor a certain number of illegal aliens for life.
Since they're inviting the poor third-world foreigners here, they are going to be responsible for providing for them financially. And if they commit crimes, they are going to be responsible for that too. They must financially compensate the victims, and if the victim(s) is/are dead, they must compensate the family. And if one (or more) of the illegal alien(s) on their sponsor list infects other people with Honduran flu or TB or some other disease, they're going to be financially responsible for all those medical expenses as well.
These "no borders" imbeciles think that the huge expenses of these "migrants" are going to be borne by somebody else. But they're the ones advocating for this invasion, so they should be the ones paying for it -- directly, and for the remainder of their sorry, hypocritical lives.

For me, moving in the middle of a fourth grade only had the problem that the new school was full of idiots, I was bused because the presence of a White Male among illegal aliens and Cushites was supposed to dramatically drive up their academic and culture life.
I ended up skipping a few grades because of the mismatch. So a 4th grader among an unknown crowd of 6th graders. Socially difficult.
Moved again, without warning to the opposite side of the country after Sophomore year. New people, totally different culture - same age difference. I was legally able to drive after graduating.
And yes, I am messed up misanthropic malcontent. I ended up running a computer department at a Dallas engineering firm two days after HS graduation.
I blame it on no matter where I go to school, I'm surrounded by cretins and mouth breathers. All the cool kids were home schooled or went to private school.
The mere fact that someone condemns their children to government schooling should be a sign of prima facia evidence of child-abuse or have the notoriety of a scarlet letter.
If the kids were properly home-schooled, which would give them a huge head-start over the other reprobates in their age group, it wouldn't matter where the parents lived.

Its a direct tax on the ignorant and gullible middle class. People who have money management skills have their real-estate held by trusts.
Trusts don't get whacked with "exit taxes".

That is the "can you eat a feces sandwich and still smile?" test.
Apparently you need that in DC - unless you are a Demoncat where any question that doesn't comport with your ideology can be responded to with a smirk, snark and even given the bird.
Given the trajectory of our culture, I'm waiting for cursing and throwing a chair to be an acceptable response.

school, but is changing schools really such a traumatic thing that it
has to keep the parents chained to a job or location they hate for years
on end?
I went to to six different schools during grade school, junior high and high school. I changed schools right before my senior year. The hardest transition was into 9th grade jr high - not knowing anyone at that age was awkward.
I moved twice after that, in sophomore year and senior year. It was a smooth transitions, and I managed to become HS valedictorian.
I really wouldn't sweat it. Kids adapt. My granddaughter switched from public school to charter school last year. She cried for two weeks, and now she absolutely loves it.

Well, then, I guess I qualify for one because we did homeschool our daughter for several years, but when I suddenly lost my job and both of us had to go back to work (because the job I got after that paid less than half what I made before), we had to put her in the local public school. We looked into Catholic school but none would take her because of her disability (autism). I guess we're just scummy child abusers too, eh? I understand not wanting to put your kid in government school, believe me -- we didn't want to either, but sheesh, there are times when it just can't be avoided.

Your husband is correct.
What we are seeing play out, almost to a tee is the late is the politcal and cultural realities of the late 19th and early 20th century with a healthy dollop of the 60's and 70's racialism and radicalism thrown in for good measure.
I'm operating under the understanding that all is lost and I have a few years to collect as many palm sized smooth stones as possible and find a landing pad before the TSRHTF.
Because political assignations, riots and civil unrest are right around the corner.

The town was leveled. The church was untouched, even the leaves were left on the trees.

I would think that the high death toll from the CA fires is not just because people were "too stupid" to get out of the way but because the fires have spread so quickly that they physically could NOT get out of the way in time.
