It truly amazed me when we first got ours. The old adage “a watched pot never boils” goes right out the window with an induction stove.

I hate to break it to you but not only does Cloudflare do this sort of thing, but so does Akamai, AWS, and virtually every other CDN provider out there. And far from being awful, it’s actually protecting the web.

We use Akamai where I work, and they inform us in real time when a request comes from a bot, and they further classify it as one of a dozen or so bots (search engine crawlers, analytics bots, advertising bots, social networks, AI bots, etc). It also informs us if it’s somebody impersonating a well known bot like Google, etc. So we can easily allow search engines to crawl our site while blocking AI bots, bots impersonating Google, and so on.

Reminds me of the estimated 3,000 pairs of shoes that Imelda Marcos reportedly had.

His boyfriend Putin says it’s a bad idea. That’s enough for Trump.

But this isn’t a death panel!

(This is removing the funding so they can’t even create a panel.)

Well better that than Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

ISIS has/had for a while a really good recruitment program that identified and groomed Muslim ideologists. I have a distant relative that was married to such a Muslim man. He was recruited by them, eventually proclaimed himself a member, and to make a long story short will now spend most of the rest of his life in jail.

Wasn’t this the Plot of one of the Tom Clancy movies where Harrison Ford played Jack Ryan?

I think it would actually be kind of cool for somebody to add a counter to the corner of the screen that shows a best guess estimate of how many loops it’s been.

That coordinated remote attack a couple months ago against parked bombers has got to be a huge wake-up call that’s giving military leaders around the world nightmares. I can’t wait to see what way-outside-the-box tactic they dream up next.

Aside from one or two movies like Tropic Thunder, I feel like Tom Cruise is largely the same way. His movies have largely become a playground for him to fill his Adrenalin lust with crazier and crazier stunts.

Somebody probably mentioned that the US bought Alaska for approx. $0.02 per acre. So he likely thinks that meant we paid $12.95 for it, and turning it back over to Russia wouldn’t be a big financial loss.

I have a nephew studying to become a plumber. Trade jobs like that, electricians, etc. will always be in demand. Even as an apprentice it sounds like he’s doing really well.

Slurm!

That’s why we typically arrive 15-20 minutes after the posted show time…

No kidding. My wife & I go to AMC once in a while. We plan to arrive 15-20 minutes AFTER the posted show time since we know the ads & trailers will last at least that long. We still end up sitting through 5+ minutes of them.

Does kissing Trumps ass count?

I wonder if this is just a necessary legal/regulatory step in order for them to start running Virtual Power Plants in the UK. There was a recent article stating that they recently ran a successful test of a 100,000 node VPP in California. Up until now I’ve only heard of them being 1000-2000 nodes, so that test is a massive improvement.

Exactly. There are also more and more articles describing how Russia tricks foreigners into coming to Russia for non-existent jobs then forcibly sends them to the front lines. It’s probably a safe bet that the training of such “recruits” boils down to a threat that they’ll be shot by the Russians if they attempt to retreat.
