From northern Ohio. Rollercoasters, roller skating, technology, motorcycles, state parks, good food, good beer and fine whiskey - not necessarily in that order. For the moment, politics are in the mix until things get straight.

Saw Colin Hay at the Southern Theater in Columbus on Sunday. What a wonderful show. Storytelling, songs, and just a singer/songwriter enjoying an audience enjoying their music.

Sigh. Idiot orange felon in chief (aka Trump) is now screwing with financial institution regulators. I really didn't think he'd messaged with the NCUA. www.bankingdive.com/news/ncua-bo...

Trump fires NCUA board’s 2 Democrats
The removal of Todd Harper and Tanya Otsuka may put other regulators at risk, including Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whose termination, the president said Thursday, “cannot come soon enough.”

I look forward to Friday afternoon. A nice respite from the sheer lunacy, idiocy, etc going on in the US. A not-so busy rink, music, and eight wheels....

Internet routing records show that Coristine runs an Internet service provider called Packetware (AS400495). Also known as
"DiamondCDN" Packetware currently hosts teslal./sexy and diamondcdn..com, among other domains.
DiamondCDN was advertised and claimed by someone who used the nickname "Rivage" on several Com-based Discord channels over the years. A review of chat logs from some of those channels show other members frequently referred to Rivage as "Edward."CYBERSCOOP
The child sextortion group 764 and the global collective of loosely associated groups known as "The Com" are using tools and techniques normally used for financially motivated cybercrime tactics
- such as SIM swapping, IP grabbing and social engineering - to commit violent crimes, according to exclusive law enforcement and intelligence reports reviewed by CyberScoop.

Careful, friends. For those that use Reddit, seems they are handing out temporary bans for criticizing Musk. In an ironic twist, from subs that are dedicated to criticizing him! Further, these are not sub bans, but (temporary) site wide bans, & not even letting you see the "offending" comment!

Speciality pizza too expensive? We have spinach-chicken-bacon-ranch w/white sauce pizza at home. Yes. I could have done the after bake ranch swirl better. It still tasted good, though. :)

My local agent is great, but insurance companies suck. Got side-swiped hit and run on Sunday. Prob drunk or no ins. Car is 20 years old, still driveable but if I put in a claim car is totaled and my rates go up. How is that for a business model? Karma will get all in the end.

I don't know why I've been on a nostalgia kick lately. But I sure do enjoy my weekly skate/exercise routine. Just need to make sure i dont take a tumble. Yes, my wheels are dirty and I need to clean them. Any advice on what to use?

100% agree. I've been online slightly longer (1986, think dial up BBS, Freenet, and Vt220's) and it's all the same trolling, spam, and garbage. You'd think the trolls could come up with a new routine, but obviously not.
