@ TM2-Megatron	:	(03 March 2021 - 11:59 AM) I mean, it's not all bad. Disney's releasing Speed remastered on 4K
@ wonko the sane?	:	(03 March 2021 - 08:48 AM) And now the fridge has died. So far 2021 has been WONDERFUL.
@ Hg Dragon	:	(01 March 2021 - 08:49 PM) I'm upset I can't "Like" a shout...
@ TheMightyMol...	:	(28 February 2021 - 09:39 AM) The US election? rimshot
@ Paladin	:	(28 February 2021 - 09:19 AM) WHICH 2016 clown panic?
@ NotVeryKnightly	:	(28 February 2021 - 07:22 AM) Didn't that come right after the 2016 clown panic? No way to make clowns not disturbing at the time, surely.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(28 February 2021 - 04:26 AM) The clown guise is supposed to lure kids in, it's no good if it looks sus in one glance.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(28 February 2021 - 04:15 AM) The new one tries too hard to be unsettling from the start. Curry's look is just a plain old clown, until he very much is not.
@ PlutoniumBoss	:	(28 February 2021 - 04:14 AM) And Curry has a far more disturbing look at times than the newbie.
@ Sabrblade	:	(28 February 2021 - 02:22 AM) And the original was a showcase of Tim Curry's delightfulness as an actor. 'Nuff said.
@ unluckiness	:	(27 February 2021 - 10:19 PM) first one was a decent horror flick but the second was a mess plotwise and even the scares were worse
@ tigerhawk	:	(27 February 2021 - 04:57 PM) Never understood the hype for the IT movies, too many floppy zombie chases, They're not in the least unsettling.
@ Maruten	:	(25 February 2021 - 06:00 PM) It's better than the last one!
@ Steevy Maximus	:	(25 February 2021 - 11:30 AM) The new Wizards of the Coast logo looks stupid
@ Steevy Maximus	:	(25 February 2021 - 11:29 AM) It's really rather shocking watching the Investor Day presentation and seeing how much Hasbro actually owns now.
@ -LittleAutob...	:	(25 February 2021 - 10:26 AM) If everyone had COMMON SENSE, then things would maybe go a little better-
@ repowers	:	(24 February 2021 - 05:33 PM) If everyone would just have the exact same opinions as me then we wouldn't have this problem
@ Kalidor	:	(24 February 2021 - 01:49 PM) It just depends on what it is. It is preferable to take it to P&R though. But sometimes current news as it's happening is less restrictive.
@ fourteenwings	:	(24 February 2021 - 12:18 AM) Huh, good point (x3)
@ ▲ndrusi	:	(23 February 2021 - 11:46 AM) Yeah. 1. People treat it like Twitter. 2. There's no "take it to P&R" since there's no P&R for the Shoutbox. 3. There's similarly no way to avoid either subjects or people in the Shoutbox since there's no division and it doesn't respect the ignore function, so people end up engaging when they normally wouldn't.
@ fourteenwings	:	(23 February 2021 - 10:56 AM) Is there something about the Shoutbox that just means we get politics taking over the thing at least once a week?
@ wonko the sane?	:	(23 February 2021 - 08:26 AM) At least your government is willing to talk about the collapsing medicare system. In quebec, their ignoring it in favour of talking about language again! Oh, and unconstitutionally denying access to eduction.
@ Shockwave 75	:	(23 February 2021 - 07:52 AM) At least here in my home province of Ontario we have a conservative gov't who doesn't want to cuz $$$$, but the argument is that they'll end up paying in medical care anyways for those sick people so why not?
@ Shockwave 75	:	(23 February 2021 - 07:51 AM) We have paid sick leave here in Canada too, but it's not very much and not everyone has it. So we're trying to get the gov't to extend it, and give it to everyone.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:23 AM) The only reason people still go to work despite being sick is because they feel emotionally obliged to serve their employer.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:20 AM) Some people abuse the system by somehow getting sick with a different plague every five weeks.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:20 AM) Those six weeks are out of the employer's pocket by legal mandate. If you're still sick after those six weeks, the health insurance company takes over the payment.
@ Nevermore	:	(23 February 2021 - 02:19 AM) That's the good thing in Germany - we have legally mandated paid sick days. Six weeks (!) for a single cause (consecutive or recurring, as long as it's the same cause; reinfections long after the fact don't count), Everytime the employee gets sick with a new cause, another six weeks start.
@ tigerhawk	:	(22 February 2021 - 04:48 PM) That's how my family got sick, my brothers a teacher, he has a class for expelled students, they gave full attendance these past few lockdowns out of sheer boredom, they can turn in sick and break isolation and he nor the other staff, who also got sick, couldn't do anything about it.
@ TM2-Megatron	:	(22 February 2021 - 03:03 PM) Yeah, pretty sure the only reason people don't stay home when they're sick is that the vast majority of society lives paycheque to paycheque, and they can't afford even one missed day of work.
@ -LittleAutob...	:	(22 February 2021 - 11:27 AM) That's unfortunate... I know masks can be annoying, but I think not being able to breath comfortably for a while is better than actually having the virus and not being able to breath at all. bUt Oh, pEoPLe dOn'T bELiVe ThE dAmN vIrUs Is rEaL
@ wonko the sane?	:	(22 February 2021 - 08:28 AM) Hahahaha! Oh, you're serious. Yeah, no one is going to do that. Far too many are in positions where they simply cannot afford the time off, and most of the rest are the kind who won't wear the mask in a global pandemic, never mind when they alone have the sniffles.
@ Shockwave 75	:	(22 February 2021 - 08:20 AM) I just hope a take-away from this will be for people to stay home when they're sick, and if they have to go out, wear a mask so as not to spread their illness.
@ TM2-Megatron	:	(21 February 2021 - 08:25 PM) I think it's mostly the masking that's kept the flu season down so much, and that's unlikely to be kept up for that long. I'm sure there'll be some people who keep wearing masks for years after this, but I suspect a larger number are anticipating people able to toss them once vaccinations are complete.
@ wonko the sane?	:	(21 February 2021 - 05:27 PM) Same in canada. Doctors report it to be basically non-existant. I kinda hope they keep some stuff up after everyone is vaccinated. Like hand sanitizer at store entrances, and actually cleaning the shopping carts.
@ tigerhawk	:	(21 February 2021 - 05:17 PM) On the plus side cold and flu cases are down 80% this winter thanks to lockdowns, or at least that's the case in the UK.
@ Hg Dragon	:	(21 February 2021 - 04:37 PM) This is quite possibly the most miserable i have ever felt.
@ Hg Dragon	:	(21 February 2021 - 04:37 PM) i'll be nice and not bypass the cupcake monkey, but COVID can bleep itself in the bleeping bleeper with a bleeping cactus.
@ tigerhawk	:	(21 February 2021 - 02:39 AM) He only appeared the once in the US comics and got one follow up in the UK comic. He never suffered badass decay like Omega Supreme and the combiners.
@ Rycochet	:	(19 February 2021 - 05:15 PM) Trypticon's debut issues in the marvel comic were the absolute best 'To sell a toy' comics of the book.
@ tigerhawk	:	(19 February 2021 - 03:04 AM) Then the audience goes "This was a stealth Transformers film wannit!"
@ tigerhawk	:	(19 February 2021 - 03:03 AM) Godzilla vs Trypticon, co written by Christina Hobson and Max Borenstein.
@ Bass X0	:	(19 February 2021 - 01:36 AM) I now want G1 Grimlock to transform into Mecha Godzilla.
@ Steevy Maximus	:	(17 February 2021 - 04:23 PM) I preferred Rush when Midway made it.
@ Bass X0	:	(17 February 2021 - 03:13 PM) The best Rush comes from Canada.
@ ▲ndrusi	:	(17 February 2021 - 02:54 PM) In other wonderful and fantastic news, guess whose Kingdom Cheetor and Paleotrex FINALLY arrived today?
@ Bass X0	:	(16 February 2021 - 03:07 PM) yeah, its a good show. watch as much as you can.
@ tigerhawk	:	(16 February 2021 - 04:58 AM) Goodnight Sweethearts turned out to be a gem, I only knew Nicholas Lyndhurst in Only Fools and Horses but never saw this show before.
@ Bass X0	:	(15 February 2021 - 04:07 PM) Then we got Ultra Magnus, Fortress Maximus, Dai Atlas, Megatron, Galvatron, Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp and Banzai-Tron in Alternity...
@ Sabrblade	:	(15 February 2021 - 12:04 PM) Heh, that new Binaltech comic that Ichikawa wrote for one of the Japanese Generations books even had the other Dinobots make fun of Grimlock for his "Autobot Car" body.

Trouble with site from just one room of the house

For the past three weeks, I've been having some difficulty with both accessing and navigating this site... from just a single room of the house: My bedroom.

The site runs slower, with each webpage taking longer to load or even crashing before completion, requiring me to refresh each page multiple times over in order to get them to load properly. Pages with lots of images (particularly those uploaded directly to the site as attachments) are especially troublesome since, even if I can get the pages to load, the images take an extra bit of time and are just as prone to crashing, themselves, becoming broken on my end. Or, if both the pages and their images load all the way, if I click on the images to see their full size, their full-sized versions might not load and instead freeze up the page.

Other issues include:

Trying to submit posts from the Quick Reply boxes and said posts hesitating to submit, requiring me to hit the "Post" button mutliple times.
Trying to edit an already-made post and the Quick Edit box doesn't load all the way, requiring me to refresh the whole page all over again to get it to work.
Trying to insert an image into a post via the Image button and the Image Properties box taking its time to load or not loading at all, requiring me to type out the img tags instead.
Trying to insert a link into a post's selected text via the Link button and the Link box taking its time to load or not loading at all, requiring me to type out the url= tags instead.
Some of the Smileys taking their time loading, or not loading at all, in the Smiley drop-down menu.

Now, as I said, these issues are only happening when I try to access the site from my bedroom. When I take my laptop out into the TV room, the kitchen, the dining room, etc., everything works fine. Likewise, when accessing the site from at work or the university, no problems whatsoever. It's only when in my bedroom that these problems arise, and I can't figure out why.

My bedroom is even only one wall away from the dining room and TV room, so it's not like they're at opposite ends of the house. And the problems occur regardless if my door or open or closed.

What's more is that these problems only started occurring three weeks ago (back when I made that Tempspark thread) so it's only a recent development. I've been coming to this site for years and accessing it via the same room, and there haven't been any changes made to the walls or overall structural integrity of the room since these issues started.

Granted, some cosmetic changes have been made, but only in the sense that some new picture frames have been hung on the walls and a new dresser has been added to the room, but I can't imagine things like that creating such problems for my accessing a website.

And while I could just take my laptop out into another room, my bedroom is my preferred workspace so I'd like to be able to continue accessing this site from there.

So, yeah, this is darn peculiar.

I think the concept of being educated and being able to educate is something that more people need more of in their lives.

No, we don't all know everything but we should spread and share that what we do know.

If I'm consistently misspelling a word, I would want and expect people to correct me as should I imagine all decent people who know the value of good literacy.

Its just arrogant laziness to know you're spelling a word incorrectly and not correct yourself or ignore the advice when people do tell you how to spell a word correctly.
