I fixed the vacuum cleaner but I feel like a walking germ even after a shower. This thing needs to go, I’m kind of disappointed I fixed it.

I used to use Avast and AVG over the years, the new win defender looks pretty good actually. I did some controlled tests and it prevented simulated attacks from my server downtown. I have a psychological problem using any antivir software now after having to rollback every day for 3 weeks due to the ESET issue. Im sure I will cure myself eventually though, thanks for the tips MigL.

You know you’re getting old when just yesterday you got spam about dating girls in your mailbox and now it’s either toe fungus medication or viagra.

Wow, spamming an anti-spamming status update on a science site is something isn’t it. BTW JulyS was pitching to @StringJunky not me

I have a serious dilemma tonight, please help. Is the spider „incy wincy” or „itsy bitsy” ?

Christmas is the most unhealthy holliday I can think of (at least here) It will be a true miracle if I don’t get a heart attack from all the food I stuffed myself with tonight. I am officially dying here.

Win10 update killed all my browsers. Newtork is there, pings go through, all the browsers are dead. Its a known and defined problem apparently but nothing worked including reinstalling network drivers from USB (yes I flushed DNS and did all the CMD procedures) I had to rollback to previous OS version. I don't even know which update did it, I don't have time to look now. Beware of the latest Win10 updates!

You should try going to website by IP, entering f.e.http://127.0.0.1 (install XAMPP if you don't have Apache installed locally *) or f.e. http://151.101.113.67
(CNN IP Address)
This way you will verify whether it's DNS issue, or TCP/IP packets are blocked (firewall?),
whether it's Internet related problem or it's even local HTTP server not working..

Our 18 month old became recently as distructive as a black hole. He grabs things, imediately runs away at light speed laughing like an evil space lord and boom - the object is gone into oblivion. He fell asleep, we wanted to watch a movie but I can’t get the amp to work... aparently the evil space lord took care of that too.

Blade Runner 2049 - Audio-Visually it's absolutely stunning, they managed to keep the original, dark, utopian vibe alive and even go a step further. The story is simple and revolves around human identity yet it triggers you to think. Instant classic in my opinion.

Say an undercover government agent attends an anti government protest shouting and pretending to be them. Is this a provocation or is there a different, more accurate word?

I think I know now where my confusion came from. In English, provocation is the act of provoking (at least a couple of dictionaries from the top of google say so) wheres in my language not quite. "Provocation" has a more clear political meaning in Polish to a point. Its defined as a sneeky act done by an agent to do damage etc. Both words "Provocation" and "Prowokacja" are translated to each other directly but the carry a little bit different meaning.
-
Same in French; "une provocation" has the sneaky political meaning as well as the more general meaning.
In any case , in English the sneaky political meaning of "a provocation" is quite an important one and certainly is clear when used in context.
I seem to remember from my time in France when Polish people would manage to escape from the Soviet bloc that there was a connection between the Poles and the French that was perhaps partially reflected in the language)

Seems a propos to this little thread (both terms are used ,but not in the "strong" sense of causing actions to take place (allegedly).In fact they claim to have refrained from joining in the ongoing action and so had their cover blown.

What a beautiful, warm rainy Friday we are having here. I am feeling good first time in months, hope everyone is going to have a great weekend!

Well, they're gonna cut me up me tomorrow. Wish me luck or break a leg or that the neuro-surgeon will be sober. Come to think of it, if he will be sober he might have shaky hands Anyway, I hope the knife will not slip and sever my spinal cord.

I met another one today. An intelligent, normal looking guy, physics PHD, worked in CERN, no wife no children, no financial problems, convinced he's a looser, depressed and on the virge of suicide. Morons run around this world happily smiling knowing everything and valuable people are dying out in front of us. WTF is happening.

"The Red Pill" a documentary about a men's rights movement. A very eye opening documentary made by a feminist.

There is a flaw in the forum engine. I am unable to open a thread in the trash can section of the forum. I would like to be able to do that to lure some of the users to discuss things there...like Pymander & John Lesser.

The trash can isn't there for members to post in. It's there for staff to move posts and threads that don't belong anywhere but. Having it open to members would be pandemonium, since the whole point is that the threads there are utter rubbish, deemed not suitable for discussion.
Furthermore, I find your attitude disheartening. As frustrating as some members are, you should always hope that they improve rather than continue as is or get worse.

It's astonishing that small, seemingly irrelevant things can make you feel so much better about everything around you and yourself.

Looking at the forum activity it seems we are in the crack pot season right now. When does the preacher season start ?
