One of my old bosses wanted a Windows server to host his secure web, DNS and mail. I screwed around for 2 days trying to get it all up and going, what a total waste of time stepping through 400 dialog boxes and tabs. :glare:

So I ended up wiping that drive and had a LAMP/Squirrel Mail server running and online in 3 hours...

So I stopped in my local vape shop today to see what's going on since the NY flavor vape ban went into effect last Monday and then had a stay a few days later. They were pretty busy and I didn't have a lot of time but I spoke with one of the guys I know there, they were pretty excited about the stay and they feel it will become permanent. They said they had to shelf a lot of stuff before the ban and then pull it all back out. He also told me something I didn't know, while on the floor working, under the ban law they couldn't vape any of the banned flavors in their personal setups, what BS!! I mentioned to him I was sure there were smaller mom and pop shops that took a hit even though the stay came within a few days, he told me he knew of two small shops "up north" that closed their doors before the ban went into effect, damn you Cuomo!!! :-x

I also watched as a customer came in to buy some salt juice, he told the counter person he didn't want any of the "flavored" juice, just tobacco, he didn't want to risk getting sick. :facepalm: They tried to explain to him it's all flavored, anything they sell is major brands and safe, he didn't seem to believe them. Just shows how effective MSM can be to those still asleep, people just take the fake news as truth, sad.

Thats the problem toady! No one knows who to believe! The mass media news should be truthful, but it never is! Some times it's just the interpretation, I'v seen situations unfold, then watched the news reports & knew they had got it all wrong!

Vaping has been the victim of smeer campaigns since the beginning!
You would not believe how many times I get the, you do that! Why? it's worse than smoking for you! That stuff will Kill you! I just shake my head & ask if they really believe that?

Credible sources are ignored! The fake news is taken as truth, the majority of the times, & Yes it's a SAD situation :( The reality is, today with acces to all this information so instantly, the bulk of the population is mis informed :( They are made to believe some one's agenda, usually with Big $ & bad intensions behind it :(

I'd say that just about sums it up Steamer. Used to be that journalists could be fired for reporting falsehoods or even for slanting reports to the left or right. Today all but a few MSM outlets are biased heavily to the left, many times televising only 2 second clips from speeches or interviews from the right and repeatedly hammering us with long winded speculations from the left. Hey, if you hear fake news enough times it must to true, right? It amazes me how many people buy in to that crap. It's herd mentality!

It's amazing, that movie the Joker is on the fmovie websites already, saw it there a few days ago. I thought it wasn't hitting the theaters until the 11th?
Probably a screener. I'd have to be some desperate to see a movie to watch a screener or cam grab.

Yes it is and I'm with you, crappy picture and even worse audio. I'll wait a year until it comes out on TV and even then I may not watch it, not really my mind of movie anyways. I'm just surprised it's on the web before it even hit's the theaters, maybe it was cam recorded at a (what ever they call those) pre-release viewings.

Thats how they get them, cam on a tripod right in the theater on a preview screening. The better ones are done right from the projection booth where they can jack into the audio system.

If they would just use RED cameras to do the grabs, you wouldn't know the difference.

Cant belive how hard they're attacking the only thing that has successfully helped millions quit smoking. It angers me to the point of no return.
