One of mine a few days ago.

Another one is currently occupying that spot as I type this.

This is what is now on that computer monitor:

Adorable cat.
Do I dare ask what’s in the Pyrex?

Good spotting, dualstow! Although I'm pretty sure I don't want to know...

[dualstow]

We’ll just assume it’s chamomile tea then

Aloe vera juice. Good for you but not good tasting. Initially I'd have to heavily sweeten it. Now I can take it straignt.

[dualstow]

I used to drink a lot of aloe.

[yankees60]

I used to drink a lot of aloe.

1) How did you react to its taste the first time you drank it?

2) Why did you stop drinking it?

I started based upon the recommendation of this brilliant Italian neuroscientist as to what foods were best for your brain.

[dualstow]

I used to drink it in Thailand and it was already sweetened.
Forgot about it and when I eventually resumed in the States, my stomach had adverse reactions to aloe.

Vinny,
This post plus the link that doesn’t show on the MacBook Air thread makes me wonder if you are using a PC rather than one of the newer highest quality known to mankind Apple products. Or perhaps you spilled a bit of your magical garden elixer.

On a serious note, thanks for your input on the MacBook Air.

That DDoS has never gone away. Makes it tricky to identify the normal DoS attacks that might be lockable. I'll look into some automation to try to catch those.

[dualstow]

could it be an IT guy who got banned?

phpbb's are targeted/hammered en-masse by botnets looking for ways to create spam accounts. DDoS costs money we flatter ourselves.

Did free Cloudflare not stop?

Re: Aloe juice, its useful to think of what we evolved alongside. 99% of humans never had it during evolution. Linus Pauling had a theory we dont get enough natural vitamin C because we super-heat (cook/pasteurize) or store food too long. I've been shelling out for non-pasteurized "cold-pressed" OJ and there is some chemistry going on there. Flavor changes in just a couple days

[dualstow]

I’m jealous of cats and goats synthesizing their own C.

[yankees60]

Who was that? When did it happen.

But on my first attempt to reply I got this:

I’ve only banned spammers, but i’m pretty sure at least one person banned for being a jerk was in IT.
Even if I remembered his name I wouldn’t mention it, because..innocent until proven guilty. It’s just my crackpot theory, and I would defer ro boglerdude and his botnet theory, or Xan.

I stopped drinking orange juice in 2015. It's an expensive, high calorie, low nutrition food. Better to be eating the actual oranges.

I gave up yesterday trying to get in. Too many failures. Had a brief one a short while ago.
