So, the oddest thing is happening with my new internet. It just goes out, usually later in the evening. Oddly, b.org is usually accessible. I loathe interacting with Comcast, but I suppose I have to call them.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I had several day battle with Firefox, which was taking several tries to open every page. Scouring the internet gave me a fix that makes no sense but works.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I can often load b.org when I'm having trouble with other sites.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that sounds like a DNS issue. Our DNS settings, if memory serves, last a donkey's age, but most sites don't.

We have Comcast and I feel like we reboot our router way more often than we did back in California when we had a small local cable/internet carrier.

Yes, I generally figure if I can't get to b.org, or it loads very slowly, then I'm REALLY having internet issues

Consuela, why don't you just archive or delete the things you've already read?

I'm curious now what the solution was!

Adding the Adblock extension. It seems that quite a few people have had this problem after different Firefox upgrades, and someone somewhere serendipitously added Adblock. There were forums of messages like this: "At this point, I'll try anything." "Eureka! It worked!"

I have done, but... I'm a completist. I like having all my music on my iPod, and who knows whether I might need to look up something in the KJV at a moment's notice?
... Okay, yeah. It's just a thing. Also the new Kindles are a lot lighter and smaller.
