For over $10 per bottle, it would have to be very good, even if those are two liter bottles.  We all have our own pleasures that others don’t appreciate, though.

Yep, it started early Monday.  They’ve taken advantage of some of cloudflare’s anti-DDOS stuff, so it’s mostly back as of a bit earlier today.  You can see the AO3 sub-reddit for some details.

I saw that in the news, but I actually just posted a chapter there about an hour ago. As far as I could tell, the site was functioning normally.

Those with Christmas birthdays—yeah, their birthday celebrations tend to get merged in.  (A trick I heard years ago is to celebrate the ½ birthdays instead, still give the kid a special distinct day.)

Hey…. only trying to beat the stores to the Christmas decorations…. should be going up any day now.  👻

This is absolute crock… everyone knows that my baby sister’s birthday comes first (in a little less than six months) And THEN Christmas will arrive… 

“Only 364 more shopping days ‘til Christmas” is what they announce on my birthday.
My personal opinion is that while the Spirit of Christmas should endure all year round, that the Season of Christmas shall not start prior to the First Sunday of Advent, nor shall it persist beyond the Baptism of the Lord.  Your mileage may vary.
Happy Christmas!  😜

Time to startup the carols!  Suggest “Dropkick Murphys”, “The Season’s Upon Us”.

Children are definitely keto-friendly, as long as you don’t eat their candy. 

I know… dress up as a witch!  They always love children, and I think it’s atkins compliant

Plot bunny got me the idea of potterverse Vs Skynet was too tempting.
The more you dig and research the more you realize. The wizarding world pretty much survives alot of scifi without much issue. Canonically, potterverse magic breaks tech and magical pests go after electrical devices even with their 1950’s tech equivalence.
Terminators have no chance of infiltration, between rapid transit, remote locations and the fact wands don’t run out of bullets and adult wizards can produce explosions pretty much at will and keep at distance, They can pretty much survive by staying hidden and steadily attack Skynet’s resources whenever they so choose.

Thanks, Manta!

We had some expired SSL cert duplicates, I’ve cleaned it up and things should resolve themselves over the next couple of days.

@Wilde_Guess That may explain it. Chrome did away with the yellow triangle, giving us only a lock or the Red Triangle of Fear.
I stopped using Firefox a while back because it was a resource hog on my older desktop, as well as prone to sudden crashes and dramatic restarts. I don’t know if it works better now, honestly, but since I use MS Win 11, it might not matter which I use.

@Wilde_Guess This is why I’m not the coder, nor do I play one on television.  
I’m only getting the error message/warning when I open those specific subdomains. If I open any other subdomain, the url is prefaced with a lock symbol, which means the subdomain is secure. Keep in mind our forum is a separate entity from the archive, and the archive is actually 22 separate databases for the various subdomains, so the ssl certification has to be done for each database individually, as I understood it.

SSL has been enabled for some time, @Desiderius Price
The issue is currently confined to Cartoons and Final Fantasy. The error is shown as an expired security certificate. I’ve posted the information for @manta2g and @DemonGoddess so they can file a ticket with our server host.
I haven’t encountered any issues thus far with the forums, but if this is a genuine expiration, all our subdomains and the forum should be tripping the warning. They are not, however, so for now I would avoid Cartoons and Final Fantasy until we hear from an admin.

Yes.  Parts of the system(s) hosting both the archives and the forums are failing (or not even trying) to establish ssl connections.  So, whatever is being transmitted between your computer and those system(s) hosting AFF can be read or attacked in real time by nefarious (or bored) individuals.  It appears that only images are being sent in the clear between AFF and readers based on research.
@manta2g?  @Desiderius Price?

Yep, AFF’s not enabled https for as long as I remember.

Manta enabled the https thing when she overhauled the whole thing. I can’t tell you why we’re getting the security pop up now, but I’m sure that Manta vill look into it as soon as she’s able to. She’s been extremely busy in her RL work lately, to the best of my knowledge. 

All things considered I think you made the better choice. Last time I went in if it wasn’t for my phone alarm I set before hand I’d been there for more than a couple hours.

While I ended up with something else (way better), yeah, always fun what you do come across.  Casinos are designed to help you lose track of the time, to keep playing.  First time to Vegas, I intended to gamble, but was actually put off by all the glitz, so I didn’t.  Opted for a show instead & the star trek experience.
