    What will it take…

    We had corruption and deceit for a long, long time. That is why the electorate was so ripe for someone, anyone to come along and give a middle finger to the establishment. They keep trying to make this about Trump, as if everything was fine and then Trump came long and messed things up. No...

    AKB: Is opening your computer and cleaning the dust out of it viable for a civilian?

    This is a whole nother question. I have some stuff backed up to the cloud and other stuff not backed up to it. I'm wary of backing up stuff to the cloud. Is it really secure? A guy I work with said he backs up everything to the cloud so he trusts it but I don't know if I should.

    AKB: Is opening your computer and cleaning the dust out of it viable for a civilian?

    I think I'm going to go the new computer route. And in fact, I see this one on Best Buy and it is almost the exact same model, if not the exact same model, as the one I already have. It's on clearance and I'm guess that's because this model is old and they want to get rid of the ones they have...

    AKB: Is opening your computer and cleaning the dust out of it viable for a civilian?

    With the help of someone that knew what they were doing, I got the computer opened up and cleaned with compressed air. So that's fixed but it still freezes up now and then (it's too early to tell if it's less often than before, but if it's less often, I don't think it's way less often)...

    AKB: Is opening your computer and cleaning the dust out of it viable for a civilian?

    It is running Windows 11 Pro. I'm not sure exactly how old it is but probably 8-9 years. It did occur to me that it may just be reaching the end of the line and I should get a new one but I figured I'd try to see if I could fix it myself first. It is a Solid State computer and the first Solid...

    AKB: Is opening your computer and cleaning the dust out of it viable for a civilian?

    I forgot to mention that in addition to freezing up and forcing a hard re-start, sometimes it simply just restarts itself out of the blue. It's somewhat annoying but OTOH it's less annoying than when it freezes up entirely and I have to do a hard re-start.

    AKB: Is opening your computer and cleaning the dust out of it viable for a civilian?

    I think I've seen computer people use one of these compressed air cans. Any idea where I can get one? So, just get one and blow all over the computers guts at close range? Or what? As far as keeping myself grounded, I don't know how to do that.

    AKB: Is opening your computer and cleaning the dust out of it viable for a civilian?

    My computer has been freezing up, forcing a re-start more and more often. It's at the point where it happens every couple hours. If I have to buy a new one so be it but I'm researching first why it happens so if I can fix it myself, I'll do it. Any thoughts on that are welcome. Interesting...

    RIP Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds

    That’s two from Revenge of the Nerds within a couple of months. Ted McGinley better be careful.

    Allar & Steelers.

    I saw him wearing #16 in drills. Does someone on the Stillers already have #15 or does he just want to turn over a new leaf? ETA: I just looked at the Stillers roster and Ben Skowronek is #15. I’m not sure whether that guy is even guaranteed to make the team.

    OT: New call letters for Cincinnati radio station - can you guess them?

    Five time winner of the Buckeye Newshawk Award. Plus he could cover sports too, since he covered many swim meetings.

    Cuba

    Just make them #51. Give them an MLB and MLS expansion team. Start their universities on football and they'll warm up to it before too long. The resort business will boom. Start rewarding hard work and innovation instead of punishing it and their economy will blossom.

    Terry Smith on Drew Allar: “Our system wasn’t built for him.”

    One thing I will say against Allar is this. That haircut. The broccoli floret haircut. You see it a lot these days. I can't wait until that goes out of style.
