Another shot it is then! ?

After watching the parking lot security video, police now realize that the guy with the thieves that stayed outside was not a lookout, but a singer. Apparently he had the wrong key and didn't know when to come in...

Some of the new speculation revolves around the notion that the Russian sub was cutting internet lines on the ocean floor. I know there are still some sites in Europe that I can't access...

AKA "The Bouy's People?"

Just one. What's up with that watermark??! ?

The store has scheduled a press conference to provide updates as well as to detail the current Independence weekend deals...

After they broke in, an automated voice informed them that they could steal anything they want, except for Monster Cables which are never discounted and can't leave the store for anything except full price... ?

Of course there have been very few casualties, the last time there were earthquakes like this week's was 1994 and before! I knew people who were killed during the Northridge quake when their apartment complex pancaked...

As I said elsewhere Ken, you be strong with your kids and let us help you in anyway we can!

It's probably what started the fire. ?

Actually a 7.1 very near yesterday's location (Ridgecrest, CA). The energy is currently trapped under the Coso Volcanic Field and, if it doesn't start moving (probably east towards Nevada then down to Texas), there will be more activity. Potential areas are north towards San Jose/San Francisco and even up closer to me in Oregon (actually in southern Oregon between Medford and Roseburg where there's been a lot of "vibrations" off the Juan De Fuca plate). Stay safe guys!

As an interesting side note to the above, one of the two concerts I've seen since moving up here 16 years ago featured Robben Ford and Jorma Kaukonen (along with a guitar playing girl named Ruthie Foster who almost stole the show). Heh, I just found some info on the show after a quick search! March 1st, 2009...

Heh, yep! I had a roommate who always tried to play them off by doing this: I found myself close to the epicenters of five major Southern California earthquakes between 1971 and 1994 ranging from a 6.5 to a 7.3 (the only quake I've ever stood in a doorway for).

There was a major Cloudflare outage that is being talked about in the dark web as a retaliation cyber attack due to a submarine encounter in the Artic ocean where, reportedly, a US sub was sunk by a Russian sub that was heavily damaged. This is the real reason VP Pence was rerouted back to Washington and Putin had to cancel a scheduled appearance to return back to his capital. The Russian media is spinning the sub casualties (14 so far including several with the rank of Captain including a few with the "Hero of Russia" medal - their highest honor). SOMETHING weird is going on! I saw an image yesterday of Alaska with dozens of contrails headed north that were supposedly military aircraft rushing to the scene. But you heard all about this on the news, right? No?

I just watched my usual YouTube channel where the guy predicted the Cali earthquake (first 6+ in, what, ten years?). Expect more coming. Possibly in the Pacific Northwest (perhaps between Medford and Roseberg) and/or northern Cali (San Jose/San Francisco). Then the flow of energy should head east towards Yellowstone, along the crayton edge down to Texas then up to Oklahoma and over to the east coast. I've been watching this guy's channel off-and-on for years and his logic makes complete sense (let alone his accuracy!). This the video after the quake, but I watched his prior one first after the Canadian quake.

That's an interesting comment about Defender. From everything we've read and been told, Security Essentials and Defender have become good enough to forego most other A/V's and firewalls (like AVG for example). This is actually what most of our clients are now using. So you're basically saying Defender sucks, right? ? (J/K!)

Microsoft tends to put out updates on Tuesdays so, with our clients, we'd wait until the weekend to see if there were any major issues and then update.

It should be noted that an InstaPot is an inappropriate device for use with hamster grooming (just ask Daryl). ?

But I still have 20/10 vision! Does that mean I'm... ???

"Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce to you... ROBO-MUDGEL!" Hehe... I just realized that Mike's now been auto-tuned! ?

The best Windows 10 tweak I've installed: Windows 7. ? Actually, I used to tweak a lot of things, but MS has backed off on pushing their bloatware and updating whenever they want, so there's really only one thing I would highly recommend (if you have more than one hard drive) and that's to map all the Library folders (Music, Video, Pictures, Documents) to a non-OS hard drive. All you need to do is right-click on the folder from File Explorer, select Properties and then the Location tab.

If it won't start, how are you taking it to the mechanic??? ?
