My Computer Goes Nuts Every Time I Freep. Anyone else?
Free Republic | 11/10/20 | Eleutheria5

Posted on 11/10/2020 4:29:40 AM PST by Eleutheria5

It's fine until I tune into Free Republic, and then the screen goes upside down, or sideways, or twirls around willy nilly. Or it starts scrolling down uncontrollably and then shutting the page I'm on, and it keeps doing this even after I leave freep. Anyone else getting this problem?

Just for starters, I’ve installed DuckDuckGo, which I’ve been meaning to do anyway. I’ll see if this stops now.

Why, yes! The computer does stay still. That rules out a rogue gorilla loose in my apartment.

Now that I’m on DuckDuckGo, let me do a trial balloon: Joe Biden sucks and feels up little girls. He takes bribes from China. His son is a crackhead bag man. He hasn’t won and neither will he. Let’s see what happens.

A plastic knob, you say? I still have the old wooden knobs.

And they work just fine!

Mine will never show secure on the web bar. No matter what security is on or off. That started in 2020. And, yes. Everything is up to date.

Might need a different cloths hanger. It has to be metal.

“Joe Biden sucks and feels up little girls. He takes bribes from China. His son is a crackhead bag man. He hasn’t won and neither will he.”

That would be a good bumper sticker — on a really big car.

The tin foil is what I first saw!

It always was frustrating to have the signal just right while you were touching the antenna, but when you let go it went bad again. “No - I’m not going to stand here all night!”

Once I was older it did help me to me believe that folks can use metal divining rods for locating utilities. (Wood sticks for “underground rivers” - not so much.)

Without channel locks and duct tape civilization would end.

Unless you're MacGyver.

Much better than that obsolete ivory one, and you don’t have to kill any elephants to upgrade.

You won’t be able to have any big cars under Soros/Biden, so that’s censorship. I want that big bumper sticker.

It’s probably Firefox. I recommend replacing AVG with Avast! and using Avast’s secure browser instead of Firefox. Firefox is buggy and subject to zero-day malware attacks.

When I try to go to free republic on DuckDuckGo, I only get ‘not secure’.

That’s funny. I just get DDOSed by Mall Lemmings.

How’s the haircut?
