But what was the "business decision" based upon? Because snowflakes can't deal with real facts. They have to have anything that causes them "problems" removed and history rewritten.
-
It may be a "racist" flag.. but the park WAS named after the 6 flags that flew over Texas. They flew the other ones until replacing them all with US flags... kind of defeats the purpose of the name. Why are you dealing with feelings when we are dealing with facts Cuckoo for Coco Puffs? BTW, THIS is the flag that they took down [ATTACH=full]1486._xfImport[/ATTACH] Most people wouldn't even associate it with the "rebel" flag that sends the snowflakes into seizure city. It's the CSA battle flag that gets those snowflakes to melting.

Read post #9 above AGAIN Cuckoo for Coco Puffs. Here, let me point out the salient point You are trying to skate around the fact that what you were wanting to imply with your quoting of the statement from Miriam Dickler that they had a right to protest there (your implication) but factuality is that they (as individuals) have a right to be there, but they didn't have a legal right to be protesting (if that is what they were doing) there. I wasn't there, and neither were you... so all we can go on is what reports state. I haven't seen (and haven't looked for) anything showing whether they were protesting or simply walking back to somewhere else. And thank you for agreeing with me, even though you probably don't realize that you did. They had NO right to perform any protests there, but they DID have a right to be walking somewhere there. Oh, here ya' go, I did some looking for you, from The Guardian And from the New York Post And from NBC News And from WJLA (Washington D.C. station) And from Daily Mail (UK) So according to those sources, they were protesting (The Guardian), counter-protestors (New York Post with no statement of whether actively protesting), demonstrating against (NBC News), where were demonstrating against (WJLA), and activist protesting (Daily Mail). I'm sure that there are more, and I seriously doubt that they were simply walking along the sidewalk like most folks out for a stroll. Does it justify what happened... no, but quit trying to put a different spin on what the media is reporting. You weren't there so you have no factual 1st hand knowledge of it.

This is a classic case of snowflakes to the extreme Six Flags Over Texas removes Confederate flag, reversing earlier decision Factual reason for the name (and associated display of said reason) of the parks (how Texas actually had 6 flags flown during it's history) now being rewritten because folks get butt hurt over facts. Nothing but pandering to those that can't accept reality (or factuality). Maybe they need to rename it to "5 flags snowflakes approve of and 1 they don't over Texas".

Pretty sure they said that It does not state that they are allowed to have their PROTEST there. Come on Cuckoo for Coco Puffs... I thought you had more intelligence than that and could understand the written English language. Their PROTEST actions were permitted in a specific area, but their personal presence is allowed anywhere. That is simply what was being said. Nowhere in that statement does it state that COUNTER PROTESTS would be allowed, only the counter protestors. There IS a difference between the action and the participants of said action. They have a legal right to be walking there, but they didn't have a permit if they were PROTESTING there. If they were protesting (and I don't know and really don't care if they were) then their actions were outside of what they were permitted for. Does not give anyone a reason to do what they did, but the fact would remain the same that if protesting at that location without the permit, they were acting illegally (no big surprise there though for the left).
-
So Cuckoo for Coco Puffs, a permit for one area allows one to protest anywhere in the city? Pretty sure that's not correct. Being "permitted" to be there and being permitted to PROTEST there are two entirely different things. Semantics DOES make a difference when speaking of various law aspects. Anyone is permitted to BE somewhere - as they aren't prohibited from their presence at the location. The prohibition would be the PROTESTING while at the location that they do not have a valid permit for. And no, I don't really keep up with that kind of shit. I'm not a fanatic like you (and many on the left) are about it. Simple solution - if everyone would ignore them they have no platform. But in todays society everyone has to PROVE that they are on the "side of righteousness". Thing is, your idea of righteous is not the same as others. When one starts forcing their beliefs on others (like you and many on the left/ultra-left) want to do then you become no different than any other "dictator" type. N. Korea ring a bell? I don't agree with the KKK/ultra-nationalists that were attending the original protest... but I do believe they have a right to their beliefs and the right to speak out to those beliefs, no matter how 'hateful" or "hurting" they are to others. Free speech is just that. Once it is only "popular" speech it is no longer free. The voice of dissension must always be allowed to be heard, whether one agrees with it or not. The issue is that many of the protesters (and specifically counter protesters) have an apparent need to force their beliefs on others, to the point of physical confrontation.

Actually I think it was one of your "mainstream" news medias. But honestly, I don't watch TV news any more so I don't know for sure. And if she was leaving Emancipation park, then she was outside where there was a permit for them valid at.... so in effect the group she was with was not permitted to be protesting where they were. But it belabors the point Cuckoo for Coco Puffs... if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around, does it make a sound?

Speaking of which... small fix needs to be made on the alerts page [ATTACH=full]1483._xfImport[/ATTACH] White on light gray is not to noticeable. ;)

As I said... I've vary rarely am into metal music or any of the likes of Ozzy. Eagles, Kansas, Steely Dan, CSN with a sprinkling of John Denver and Johnny Cash are more to my liking.
-
Sorry, not a real big Ozzy fan... his music never interested me. But there are several other types that I like.
-
Only beer I've found that I like are some of the Shiner Bock (US made, Texas to be exact). The Blonde and the Blonde Strawberry is pretty good. Only like the Blonde Strawberry every now and then as it's flavor can get "annoying".

Here is the last 7 days worth of charts... still no "exceeding"... unless you count their IO faults. [ATTACH=full]1477._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1478._xfImport[/ATTACH] Pretty much goes to show that their hosting (and any shared hosting) is shitty. The more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards a VPS for the WP sites.
-
Actually, the only "mods" installed is JetPack, WP SuperCache and WordFence that would effect anything - and that's what the more memory usage is due to. The fact is... NameCheap shared hosting is not the highest performance out there. If it wasn't already paid for I'd be either doing a VPS again or if just wanting my WordPress site using WP hosting. The fact remains... the resource usage is very low to have gotten a warning.
-
Learn to read graphic charts and quit looking so much like an ID10T. As you can see, the "notice' is for the previous 24 hours... so are the charts. Nowhere in the charts does it indicate the maximum is exceeded - unlike what the "notice" states. Once you can get beyond crayons for drawing/understanding then maybe you will understand. And for "running" WordPress... it's not much more than installing it since I have no control over the actual server configuration - albeit I may go ahead and get a VPS since a "good" shared hosting plan is more expensive and you get less resources.
-
Why NameCheap sucks - [ATTACH=full]1471._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1472._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1473._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1474._xfImport[/ATTACH] Uhh... looking at those charts, doesn't look like it should have been "limited" at all. All the more reason I'm leaning towards a VPS again. Don't really want to (due to the admin headaches) but quality shared hosting at a reasonable price is hard to find. I'm not going to spend a ton on a simple blog - if I was going to do that I'd just host it with WordPress - but I do want the ability to bring a "shop" online later on the setup under one of my domains.

Considering how long the trailer has been sitting in the shed and how much dust it had gathered on top of it - saw no point in keeping it if not going to use it. I think no use in around 18 months counts as "not being used". The FJR is also up for sale if you'd be interested in it. Got to many friends that have been hurt (and 2 killed) lately riding the things in this area. The convertible is almost as much fun and MUCH safer. I won't lie and say I don't miss riding the bike, but I haven't been on it in over 6 months now. If I could have found a trailer hitch for the Spider that did not require me to butcher it to work (Mazda Miata one would work with said butchering) I would have kept the trailer.... but even now there are no hitches out for that specific car. It would have been VERY handy to have the trailer to pull behind it on longer trips and would not have had much of an effect on the car. BTW, the guitars are already paid for so how do you classify as "couldn't afford" I don't fully grasp. People do save money for stuff - and to be honest, I was actually working on saving up for a new(er) Ranger bass boat, but realized I would use it as much probably as the last boat we had - which was maybe 6-10 times a year. Investing 20+K in a boat that is rarely used is rather stupid to me. Contrary to popular opinion, we don't have unlimited storage around our residence - so when I do not use something for an extended period of time I will tend to get rid of it either by selling it, donating it to a charity or like I did recently with the camping stuff, which was putting it on the curb with a big sign that said "Free to good home". It lasted about 30 minutes out there and was all gone. If I was "needing money" then I could simply have saved that stuff and had a yard/garage sale.

And to top it off.. one of his other add-ons REALLY will create confusion with the blog add-on [ATTACH=full]1468._xfImport[/ATTACH] Hmm... let's see... we are working in a blog area... and what do we see? A Post New Thread button. Most would think it had to do with the blog... but does it? [ATTACH=full]1469._xfImport[/ATTACH] Nope, doesn't look like it. Actually looks like someone needs to do a little work to eliminate stuff that doesn't fit the area in question.

For now at least. Amazing how much easier it is to play the electric guitars than the acoustic. Of course, it has a lot to do with the difference in the string tension. Pretty sure it would have taken a lot longer to build up the callouses on the tips of the fingers if I had started with electric instead of acoustic. Oh yea, what's a guitar pron thread with the pron! The Fender FSR Stratocaster wearing 3 color burst (MiM) [ATTACH=full]1465._xfImport[/ATTACH] The Fender Special Edition Deluxe Telecaster wearing butterscotch blonde - basically the same as the FSR Strat in the product line (MiM) [ATTACH=full]1466._xfImport[/ATTACH] And the Fender American Professional Telecaster in Crimson transparent [ATTACH=full]1467._xfImport[/ATTACH]
