That was fast.

Not sure... I am having to do a lot of work-arounds to get to blogger to post.  It took... an hour or two just to figure out how to get anywhere.  I wasn't, at first, sure if this was some sort of massive attack against google, youtube, and gmail, or if my machine had simply been attacked and messed up.  It seems the latter.  I was doing this and that, watching vids, then went to the restroom.  I returned to a crashed machine.  Not unusual, so I reset, then attempted to get online.  Initially it looked like I couldn't get to any of the sites I wished to visit.  And, as I said, once I figured out how to get through, getting around to, say, posting that comment first, then this, was tricky.  Still is.

I posted this comment on another site:

Not that they generally go after nobodies, save for zombie attacks (if they still do that... is that too 21st century?), but when they do... just how safe is even the most suspicious regular joe? I sort of think we are toast, starts with governments and big corps, who actually often work together, but then the employees learn the back doors and use them or sell the knowledge. Imagine even an underpaid* employee at a software security suite company?

Now, here is something I have never had happen. Does it mean they like me, or... Anyway... my security software dated out. I bought a different one. But between frustration with this and that, and illness, I never did install the new software. Finally, a couple months after the expiration, and that I was told in emails and pop-ups... which everything on my machine is set to block, that I was out of time and no longer protected? I decided to... see what could be done... after all that had ceased for a couple of weeks... or a month... or two. I'm... right on things sometimes.

It turns out? Somehow, I am now protected for three years. So... someone had to hack on and sign up the protection. I promise I didn't, and I promise I was out. No charges. Go figure.

I suppose I suspect why, though I hadn't really thought of it.  As I mentioned in a retort, a simply request to leave would have been fine.  Oh, and yes, the addition to the security suite disappeared.  Might have been a favor, just not done well.

I am not sure what... I can do about this.  I had hoped to go to amazon, to order a security suite I could simply download.  But the amazon site on both of my browsers is unusable.  Yeah.  Well, I was correct, no chance at all.  I wonder if, through the link, it can be shown that the blog owner or someone from that site did hack my machine, that they could be prosecuted.  Heck, it's probably even across state lines.  A federal?  Not if they are .gov tools, or favored "people".  Though... maybe anyway.  I just don't know, or how that would be proven.  This election cycle has sure brought it out.  This is actually the second site where either the proprietor or visitors have seen it fit to hack my machine.  Just request I not return.  It's quite simple.

As to other things?  Dishes have been done, though they need another washing.  So they have been set to another sudsy soak.  I am working on the pressure cooker lid and pressure device.  It doesn't seem to be working right.  Yeah, you aren't supposed to do that, but I have to check on it.  It seems to be working.  Simply by getting a lung-full, and blowing, at the various settings, I get air through...  the higher pressure takes more, of course.  I have cleaned out the area, and am soaking the device itself in very hot water.  I'll clean it as well as I can, testing when finished, then when I think it is truly dry.  I had meant to order more gaskets, as I think this one is shot if nothing else... but... no amazon!  Thanks you fucknut.  As I said, if that was a favor, it was a lousy way to do it.

Oh, the broth is cooling.  I should be able to put that through a strainer, pulling the hogs feet, in another hour or two.  Oh!  And it's dinnertime.  Past dinnertime, though not beyond the window.  I have something small, just needing some heat, then I'll make another sort of cabbage and beef.  I wont' get fancy with it, just... rough, if smaller than yesterday, chop, and... actually I'll fry the hamburger first, then add the large dices of cabbage.  But green or red?  You know, I don't even know if their is a carb difference?  Crazy, but maybe they are the same, maybe they are very different.  It's odd how that works out sometimes.  Hmm... hungry.  Later.  Assuming I can get back on, and then in.

Why not so upset?  Ah, they have been hacking me since... since I started.  The left, and some of the "right"... I'm not sure if it's hate, power, inability to deal with reality?  Or just looking for war, but not quite with reason, so attacking anyone who disagrees, and being right nasty about it.  Can't handle disagreement or debate.  They will get what they want, and here or there, they will pay.  Not a curse, a known.
