“It would be a good value if the value was good, but it isn’t.”

FANTASTIC reference! This movie is so funny and awesome, and it seems to have completely disappeared from pop culture. I never understood why Conan looms so large in our collective memory, but this movie totally vanished.

You might be talking about Never10, made by Steve Gibson over at GRC.com. It has since been updated and renamed InControl. It now also works to prevent unwanted Win11 upgrades, as well as other things. https://www.grc.com/incontrol.htm

Very nutritious, but they smell like death.

It’s about 7%. That is a lot.

The real question is, what is the overall population growth rate compared with before? I wonder how many people are leaving TX, or (more likely) deciding to not move to TX, compared with previous years.

Thanks for this tip. I hadn’t heard about this before, and it sounds like an interesting thing to add to my tool chest.

so if you browse youtube that can go via a country that does not allow ads.

Can you tell me more about this? I’ve never heard about that this is a thing, and it sounds like a good thing to known

That’s a great point. I can use a brand new blade every shave and still spend far less than it would cost to buy Mach-3 heads (or similar). Even using those disposable heads for multiple shaves (I would normally go 5 shaves per head), it’s still much much much cheaper with the safety razor blades I now use.

Be warned, safety razor shaving can become a rabbit hole if you’re not careful. I’ve spent a fair bit of coin on various razors, brushes, soaps, blades, and numerous other accessories. I was pretty settled on my setup for the last 2 years, but really wanted to try a lighter weight razor (aluminum or titanium). These have historically been very expensive. I stumbled upon this Henson AL13 razor and decided to try it out. Still expensive for me at roughly $80, but much cheaper than options I was looking at a few years back.

It’s been a couple of months now, and I am extremely happy with it. Compared with my previous razor (Karve Christopher Bradly, which I was very happy with) I barely even feel this razor on my skin, but it gets just as clean of a shave. I have very sensitive skin, so this is a blessing for me. 100% recommend.

You might want to look into getting checked out for ADHD. Someone close to me was diagnosed as an adult a few years ago, and your behavior overlaps somewhat with their behavior. Many hours of making schedules and charting plans, but a strong mental block with putting plans into action to actually get things done. It’s more common than you’d think.

Don’t talk about Usenet.

and…

Don’t — talk — about — Usenet!

Guys… you’re all breaking the first two rules of Usenet…

I can’t think of any problems I’ve faced in over 3 years. I have an app on my phone that I can use to temporarily disable my Pi-hole if I need to do some testing, but I don’t know if I’ve ever had a situation where the Pi-hole was the source of a problem. Definitely not a maintenance headache. I run an update on it every now and then, but only because I see a notification that there is one, not because there’s something going wrong.

I’m honestly not sure. Does a jury vote need to be unanimous for a guilty verdict?

I’m just some idiot on the internet who doesn’t know what I’m talking about, but…

Is it possible this isn’t a mistake? If you’re going to try to win a trial through corruption and wrongdoings, it seems easier to illicitly win over (and have it stay quiet) one person than half of a jury, no?

When looking at the series page, if you expand the seasons down to list the contained episodes, are all of the episodes there (even if not in the “correct” season)? Or are several seasons worth of episodes just not listed at all? Which show?

100% agree! I feel like people are flipping their lid about this and it’s completely unwarranted. I have never had any issue with using lighting cables, I’ve never wished that it was a usbc cable, and I also don’t care at all that it’s becoming usbc. It makes zero difference to me. Everyone else on the internet talks about this like it’s been the bane of their existence holding back their ability to live their full life. Not sure what I’m missing.

You’ll sometimes hear IT people use “Layer 8 problem” which is a reference to the OSI networking model. The model has 7 layers. It starts at layer-1, the physical layer (the literal wires that the signals flow through), and ends with layer-7, the application later (things like http, ftp, etc.).

“Layer-8” isn’t technically part of the OSI model, but unofficially it refers to the human layer, or the user. When IT people are troubleshooting an issue, trying to identify where in the model the issue is happening, “layer-8” is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying “there isn’t an actual problem… the person is the problem”.

Another good one is the “ID10T” error (read as “I-D-ten-T”), which looks a lot like “IDIOT” when written down. It means the same thing.

Exactly. Layer 8 problem.

Update: I’ve been banging my head against this for another day and have made a bit of progress. I think part of my original problem has to do with CORS issues. I’ve gotten around this by running a local server and navigating to the local html file via http (http://local host:8080/tennis.html) instead of file (file:///drive/path/tennis.html).

After this, I was running into an error with https. I believed something in the js was forcing redirection to https protocol. I “fixed” this by changing the value of _0x15ea[1] from “https:” to “http:” in the tennis.js file.

Now, I am able to get the locally saved page to load in a browser, but none of the actions that normally update the score on the scoreboard are working. For example, when loaded from the original website (scorching.com), clicking on the game score (white boxes on right) will increase that player’s score by 1. Likewise, the “z” and “x” keyboard keys will increase the player 1 and 2 scores, respectively. (In case anyone isn’t familiar with tennis scoring, the game score numbers advance through 15, 30, 40…, so don’t be surprised that they aren’t going 1, 2, 3…

The other things on the page all seem to be working. Just the scoring isn’t working,or the inputs to activate scoring changes aren’t being recognized. (In the browser’s console I can see “scores 1” or “scores 2” being logged, which is the first instruction in the “scores” function, so I know the inputs are being recognized.) Appreciate any thoughts that might help me.

Looks like “offline mode” allows a page to keep working after its already been loaded, and then the computer is made offline. If this is correct, it won’t work for my situation.

I’m hoping to use this on a small machine that’s always offline, so it won’t have the chance to load the webpage from an online server.
