Ugh. Fiddled with 18 billion different things google suggested (restart! delete this file! delete that file! type in this thing! hook it up via ethernet, then restart! etc etc), eventually futzed with some settings on my router and it suddenly worked fine...even when I then changed those settings back. WTF??
Tell me more good stuff about me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
TiVo question:
1. There's a point in this week's Perception (god, I love that show) that makes my TiVo HD restart. I tried watching it three times just to make sure (that I'm an idiot, but not hallucinating)
2. Pixellation. For the first time I have a show so pixellated it's unwatchable 50 minutes out of 60. Audio's gone during this point.
Does this sound like system failure, or HD failure? Last time I took it in they pointed out that some of the capacitors had popped their tops (I didn't even know capacitors did that--nifty). I'd rather get a new HD, but this would be the third time I've done this. So it may be time to say goodbye anyway. Maybe to weaknees, maybe to the TiVo HD.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Aaargh. I have no idea whether this is relevant, but the reason I restarted my phone was because a Tweet hadn't sent and the notification wouldn't go away. When I restarted (Samsung Galaxy S4), it said my SD card was unmounted. It wouldn't recognize it to mount it again, even after popping it out and in again and restarting (plus turning it off and on again). What the hell is going on?

Hey. New board.
I was recently having SD Card issues (along with other random issues) and a new battery fixed it, weirdly. Only suspected it might be the battery because it was also randomly shutting off every so often.
I would use an SD card reader in your computer and make sure the card is working fine, and if it is then move from there.
If you do try a new battery (not a bad idea to have a spare anyway) I have had good luck with my Anker batteries. I bought a 2 pack with a wall charger for less than 1 OEM battery and my battery life and stability both increased greatly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Can anyone running desktop Safari tell me if they see any pictures here?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I see 2 pictures, but I had to reload the page to get them to show up (when it first loaded, it was only the text).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just see the eye. Reloading doesn't change anything, except I saw some image flash very quickly.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I had the same issue on Safari for iPad. If I arrow to the right, I see the guy walking the dog. Then arrow left, back to the linked page, I get a brief flash of a picture. Building and scaffolding?? But then it disappears.
I do see the Eye at the top. It's half Gatsby like. Just need the glasses. Or Sauron?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I could use some help. I'm doing some emergency work for a website, and trying to figure out what controls the background of this page.
Looking at the style sheet (here), it seems like it would be controlled by the bit under * Gradient Background *, but I've tried changing that to no effect, and it also looks like it's somehow related to the sidebars? Which is not what I want to change at all.
I didn't do this install or theme, so I'm at a bit of a loss.
