I kind of cringe when I hear phrases like the "black online community." Just as " I'd cringe when I heard the "white online community" as well. I can share appreciation for great writers who happen the European or American writers.who were or are I can appreciate different cultural traditions and histories of people from say England, Scotland or Ireland or part of what is now Russia where my father's family came from. However, I am more interested in the fact that people share values and a Judeo Christian background and cultural inteterests. I sm going to stay away from anyplace that defines itself as the "white online community"

>>>At 12:12 p.m. PT, Cloudflare said it was starting to see its services recover after investigating the issue.
Also, yes, they did post that note at 12:12 PM, but the "starting to see" does a lot of heavy lifting there. It was a typo. They meant "it was *startling* to see its services recover."

I left this message (via X) on the doorstep of our 'weather bureau' late today - did no one else notice all four weather radar sites in the DFW area were offline coincident with the Google outage?
@NWS @NOAA Guys, any idea why the RADAR sites (KFWS, KGRK, TDAL and TDFW) all show that data ingest stopped as shown: Latest ingest: 2025/06/12 16:54:59 GMT Posted by: _Jim at June 13, 2025 04:55 AM (kU5KU) 11
The only think I know about Cloudfare is that it is date storage site, yes? and that it repeatedly asks me to confirm I'm human if I want to do a tiny url . That question is a redundant, annoying bore.

Good morning, one and all. I left work early for my MRI appointment. The traffic gods were feeling kind and I was actually in the area almost 40 minutes before my appointment. This required a stop at Chick-Fil-A (AKA The Lord's Chosen Chicken) for a sandwich.
With food consumed, I went into radiology, checked in and was escorted in slightly later than my appointment time. The procedure went well; took about 15 minutes to get everything done. But they had noise-canceling headphones and a Pandora account so I could listen to music. The images were uploaded almost instantly and now I wait for word from my doctor.

Prayer request- Sorry if this sounds a little silly, but here goes. FenSpouse is preaching on Father's Day, because I am not-and never will be - a father. He did it last year and the year before (because our lay speaker moved away ) and did a fine job but he is feeling it isn't togethesi far this year Anyway, if you could please pray that his mind is at ease about this and it all comes together to the glory of God, I'd appreciate that. Thanks.
Did I mention that I am blessed to have him in my life and that of our son and the church?😊 Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 13, 2025 05:32 AM (Iu2Ar) 26

Miss Linda attended her kitten yoga at the library yesterday. Yes, there were real live kittens; the local shelters brought close to thirty (!) adoptable kittens, all shorthairs and all colors, in carriers and let them loose among the yoga-ists following the routine on the big TV screen. Mostly there were women, young and old, though I did see one guy with man-bun and his own mat. I suspect not a lot of actual yoga got performed with the little baby cats pouncing and trotting around looking cute . . . which is the essential function of kittens everywhere.
Linda wants me to stay and participate next time. I told her I'm not doing a man-bun under any circumstances. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at June 13, 2025 05:41 AM (omVj0) Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at June 13, 2025 05:41 AM (O7YUW) 40

Yesterday I mentioned getting small repairs done to my ancient (1994!) and treasured Eddie Bauer shoulder-strap briefcase. The shop I went to yesterday has closed; the owner is not reopening after his surgery earlier this year. There's a shoe repair place who has re-done my boots in the past. Yelp reviews suggest they do handbag repairs as well. I'll nip out there this morning, have a coffee and croissant across the street, and see what they can do for me.
There are a couple of other choices in town. If nobody can help, I guess I can go, reluctantly, with one of the India-made goat leather briefcases selling for $50 on eBay. A Saddleback $600 bag is not in the cards, esp. since I won't be asking the case to trudge with me to work every day.

I have a backpack from the final CES press event by 3Dfx before their dire situation became known to all and they were bought by Nvidia. The press event lacked any kind of live product demo or even a video presentation of a demo. I told my colleague on our way out, "They're done."
But the backpack was really nice. The stitching holding the top of the straps began to fail after about fifteen years. A local shoe repair guy was able to fix it with his industrial strength sewing machine. Posted by: Epobirs at June 13, 2025 06:07 AM (/0z9K) 75

I have created what I shall call the Breakfast Egg Taco a la Dagnetta!
Take a nacho cheese taco shell and toast in the oven for 6-8 minutes. Scramble one egg with seasoning of paprika, chili powder, and pepper. Remove taco from oven and insert egg into taco, with a layer of shredded cheese as a base and a bit more on top. Sprinkle salt or other favorite seasoning. Consume and enjoy. Perhaps some New Mexico green chiles would make a nice addition, as would a bit of nicely-sizzled ground beef. The only problem: Now I want another one!

I switched over for the tail end of a Cheyenne episode from 1955-56. James Garner has a small role in it, for the third time this season. Warners was clearly grooming him for bigger things.
What puzzles me is that Cheyenne seems to change hat style and color every two or three episodes. Always he has the same gun, with light-colored grips like a bone-handled knife, but different hats. He was not a settled law enforcement guy who stayed in one town like Marshal Troop in Lawman. Maybe we were supposed to conclude he led such an active life his hats got destroyed on a regular basis.

Cheyenne also had Dianne Brewster as Samantha Crawford on the before she showed up on Maverick as Bret & Bart’s con-artist nemesis.
I noticed that a few months ago when I saw her on a Cheyenne episode. She was also on an episode where she and her group talked Cheyenne into being their foreman on their first cattle drive. Then Maverick did the exact same plot, with different actors, and a different lady in the Samantha role. Bart even asks the lady at the end if she’s related to Samantha Crawford after she tried to steal the cattle money after they were bought. Posted by: SpeakingOf at June 13, 2025 07:21 AM (6ydKt) 162

Does that mean Google gets to freely spy on EVERYONE going to a majority of websites if the owner is using CloudFlare?

I should emphasize/amplify what I wrote earlier about NWS NEXRAD WSR-88D radar (Spinks field) in the Dallas/Ft Worth area plus the two FAA TDWR (Terminal Doppler Weather Radar) and Gray Field NEXRAD were inaccessible for over 8 hours yesterday coincident with the Google Cloud outage event ... the ONLY weather radar that was operational yesterday afternoon in the DFW area (outside of local CASA radars) was operated by TV CH5 KXAS.
The OOS (Out Of Service) status of the NEXRADs and TDWRs was noted on the NWS's own status websites, so it wasn't just determined by observing 'stale' imagery followed by conjecture on my part. Posted by: _Jim at June 13, 2025 02:45 PM (kU5KU) 172
