  • Very mysterious behavior by wifi Router, please comment

    I have been using this TP-Link router for 9 years. In the beginning years, it ran without any problems or freezes. Last 6 months, it froze once every day like clockwork. Every morning I had to reboot by unplugging and plugging power. Usually it only froze once every day. On rare occasions it froze twice in a day but that was rare. I was getting ready to buy a new one thinking it is just getting old.. But.... Strangely, during last two weeks it has not frozen or crashed even once! Nothing has changed. Same PC's and phones and security...

    With all the strategy the left has thrown into their zombie media people on why, how and who they are gearing up for the next two elections and since the right is so caught up in their recent presidential election glow with Trump winning and never stopping for celebration by hitting the ground running and keeping a pace that is leaving many in the dust behind him, we have to consider he is only going to do this for a max of four years. But his replacement will have to come from the ranks and no one really has stepped...

    I have a questions for those more financially savvy than I. I live in a state that has deregulated electric energy markets, in an urban area with a lot of choices for providers. My current electric service contract is up in just over a month. Seeing that energy prices are beginning to come down, is it wise to lock in with a new provider now, or wait as long as possible, possibly risking a spike in July? Also, long or short contract? Fixed or variable? Thanks for any advice.

    Last year, on May 22nd, because of three weeks of stupidity and bullying from most but not all of the staff at the Services Australia office in Foostcray, I had a nervous breakdown in the office and collapsed to the floor howling in agony. The Services Australia response to my distress was to shut me out. I remain shut out to this day. As a result I have not received the Aged Pension which I need to survive and maintain a home in Australia. When I complained about this to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s office, I was fobbed off. So,...

    Let’s say Russia takes over Ukraine (one of the most corrupt countries in the world)… then what? As long as Russia doesn’t go on an ethnic cleansing rampage (doubtful given their common ethnic origins), and honors the mineral agreement with the USA, why should we care?

    Ping the film mavens here please? You know I have a b&w film in my brain. About an older man i. He is perhaps 40s who wants to marry an 19 year old girl after a whirlwind romance. Upper class. He is about her mother’s age. Mother makes it clear to him that mother is dying and she is relieved that someone will be there for her young naive daughter and gives permission. It was a bittersweet film. I cannot find it. It rings no bells. I do not know whether I

    84 years ago today, Bob Dylan was born. At his Nobel Prize winning best, from 1961 to 1966, he challenged us to rethink everything with everything he wrote. Donald Trump, born about 5 years after Dylan, in 1946, looks to me like he is just entering into a period of his Dylanesque best. Trump forces us to revealuate this modern world all the time. Bob Dylan mastered and elevated American music twice to great literature in a few short years, first as a folkie but then as a great rock n roller. Potus 45 surprised everyone to come down a...

    Let's all act as if we have wax in our ears and cannot hear or even understand Putin's simple set of claims he has always put forward if the SMO is to end. Let's all pretend Putin is Genghis Khan 2.0 wanting to take over the 'free' and 'democratic'(laughs) world. Let's all pretend everything we say and do is destroying Russia, its economy, and Putin's government. Let's also pretend Russia is also running out of weapons and many more of its soldiers are dying than those in Ukrainian forces. Let's pretend that there is no BRICS or SCO Let's pretend...

    I work at a supermarket part-time over the weekend for supplemental income.Last weekend, I assisted a customer who was at least 75 years old.I could not help but notice the shirt she was wearing:Of course, being the vile, fascist, misogynistic non-leftist that the media portrays me to be, I was cordial and polite to her, as I am to all customers in my store. And to be fair, she was cordial to me - but no doubt she would stuff a tampon in my mouth if she knew how I vote...I can't help but shake my head and laugh about...

    I completely disagree with red flag laws in that anyone truly presenting a danger to themselves or others need to be incarcerated. Nevertheless, Comey likely has loyalists in the FBI feeding him info regularly. I wouldn't be surprised if such folks were involved with the Butler PA assassination attempt. Any investigation of Comey should include that angle, not just the post. TDS is real, after all. It could be a joke, but his TDS history should not be ignored in this case.
  • Having Fun Watching Football: The Joy Of A Beautiful Woman When Her Teammate Kicks A Goal

    I think that men and women should be treated as equal in everything except the three female spheres of activity of being pregnant, giving birth and breast feeding. But I think that there are subtle differences in abilities and tendencies between men and women such as a slight tendency for women to be more empathetic than men. Overall, empathy is also a very common quality in men, but my life experience has been to see a little more empathy in women than in men. To me there is an emotional beauty in the way that the Fitzroy footballer pictured in...
