A few weeks back I was putting up a used monitor for a setup at the church. I grabbed an extra VGA cable without looking and realized that it was an extension cord, not a regular one, so I ended up looking at the female end of the cord and the female port on the monitor. My favorite joke that day was to mention that, while the Episcopal Church is open and affirming, electronic components are not.MN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 12:36 pm But then you can get into the whole idea of cords having male connectors and female connectors. Never heard of that until my adult life.
Edited to add - See additional information here: Gender of connectors and fasteners

I just realized I hadn't even connected 69 with my age, now 69. Maybe I am burned out!

I have a friend who works for an organization that provides services for senior citizens in Louisiana. So, one day I was in the office waiting to pick her up to go to lunch and I overheard someone signing up for services. He gave his name, Delicious Peter. I kid you not. His first name is Delicious, and last name is Peter. Delicious Peter.

Foggy is asleep. He will fix the morning. We are dependent on the one and what is shall be. Not a biggie in the grand scheme of Republican mayhem we need to fight.

I've found that Firefox displays the forums better than chrome, even with the cert whining.

Re: Report Problems/Questions Here
Expired certificate warning here as well. I switched to Firefox on my setup which at least doesn't warn at every single page the way Chrome does.

I am now arose. Arisen. Got up. Had a bit of covfefe. I'm online with the hosting company, they let my SSL certificate expire.
Back in a flash however long it takes.

Edit: Fixed, the guy says it will be fully resolved in 15 minutes. All my other sites renewed their SSL certs, but on Fogbow "there was some sort of hiccup".
Oh, so I'm holding my breath until I turn blue ...
... and there you have it. Fogbow died, of a bad case of internet hiccups. So sad.
