  1. Ok. It appears to be back up now... Phew! The world seemed to be holding their collective breath there for a moment.... Â
  2. YouTube is experiencing a major outage. Users across the world started to notice that the video service’s sites and mobile apps were down around 9:20pm ET, and everything remains inaccessible more than an hour later. YouTube TV and Youtube Music are also affected by the service disruption. As with all Google-operated services, serious downtime for YouTube is pretty rare. YouTube TV did suffer service interruption at an inopportune time during this summer’s World Cup, however, and channel pages went down for a while in April. Perhaps most infamously, Pakistan’s government accidentally caused an hours-long global YouTube blackout a decade ago by attempting to censor a trailer for an anti-Islamic film.
  3. We need answers! In the meantime you can upload your videos here as an alternative. Take care everyone.
  4. @Querotevernoparaiso this Is an English language club. Please use Portuguese in the Portugués language clubs. Thank you.
  5. Binyamin Appelbaum talked about recent stock market losses, which President Trump has blamed on the Federal Reserve.
  6. There does seem to be a change in how females are viewing the LAW in the USA. I had a conversation the other day where I mentioned that there needs to be witnesses or "proof" of a sexual assault for a man to be punished, indicted etc.... She seemed to reflect and attitude common on modern women that if it is a man... then it's guilty until proven innocent. This new dangerous attitude needs to be stopped immediately. Imagine this black child's life above it is HADN"T been for that security camera? The next question is.... what punishment will this lady now receive for falsely accusing him? Shouldn't justly she get what she was expecting for the black child to recieve?
  7. @Space Merchant I wonder how large they have grown to be in Jurassic or Cretaceaous periods?
  8. I couldn't do it. Although many are pushing this diet to solve world hunger and in favor of climate change mitigation.
  9. Volcano Explodes on Same Indonesian Island Recently Devastated By Tsunami
  10. I do not think this is the reason WHY they are shutting google + down. Anyone have another theory? Mine is that Google doesn't want the added scrutiny that Facebook and Twitter have had to endure in ADDITION to the scrutiny on their SEARCH algorithms.
  11. "This version of macOS 10.14 cannot be installed on this computer." even though I quadrupled the memory and installed a SSD? Anyone know what other parts are prohibiting the OS upgrade? Or is it just Apple's way of forcing everyone to buy a new computer? Is there a workaround? Why do I doubt it? ---- It has to do with your older graphics card. Research more on Metal. @LNN
  12. THE END OF PHYSICAL FORMAT? Gone are the days when people would line up at the music shop for a hot new release. In fact, CD sales are down 80% in the past decade. Today, physical format sales only account for 17% of the industry’s revenue. There is, however, one bright spot in physical format segment: vinyl. In 2017, vinyl sales hit 25-year high after making a slow and steady comeback. http://www.visualcapitalist.com/music-industry-sales/

    Broadcom

    The backstory: Broadcom (-1.26%), the chipmaker of thwarted Qualcomm-takeover fame, is trying to complete its $19 billion acquisition of CA Technologies (+1.49%), an enterprise software company. The mystery: On Wednesday, a memo supposedly written by a Defense Department official was circulated suggesting the need for a national security review of the deal. The only problem? A DoD spokeswoman said it was "likely" a fraud. Why it matters, per Axios's Dan Primack: "Assuming the memo was indeed fraudulent, then we might have just entered a new phase of short-seller espionage." Still, Sen. Rand Paul called for a national security review (while denying the memo played a factor).

    Jamal Khashoggi

    The US resident of Virginia, journalist and political dissident went inside the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2 with his fiancée waiting outside for some official paperwork allowing him to marry..and reportedly never came out. Turkey's blamed Saudi Arabia for killing him, but Saudi Arabia's denied wrongdoing. Why it matters: Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman could find it tough to attract foreign investors when the latest U.S. intelligence suggests he ordered Khashoggi's abduction, per WaPo. Sponsors and speakers are pulling out of the kingdom's Future Investment Initiative (aka "Davos in the Desert"). The New York Times said it won't be a media sponsor, and Arianna Huffington no longer plans to attend. Ex-Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and former European Commission VP Neelie Kroes both pulled out from advising Saudi Arabia's $500 billion Neom megacity project until more is known. Turkish officials reportedly have obtained recordings proving how Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was killed. The Washington Post reports American officials are aware of recordings showing a Saudi security team detaining Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate and then killing and dismembering his body. Weijia Jiang reports. .

    Hurricane Michael

    Over 940,000 U.S. customers without power after Michael The eye of the Hurricane Michael cut directly over Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida. When it was over, the base lay in ruins, amid what the Air Force called “widespread catastrophic damage.”
  16. There should be clubs already in existence for the other major religions. This club is about JW’s and @The Librarian is the main moderator. He prefers people try to stay on the posted topic or start a new one as you have here. Well done. Enjoy.
  17. 18 people died in the limo (17 passengers, plus the driver), which was reportedly traveling at high speed down a country road, when the road dead-ended into a cafe parking lot, then a ravine. This was a Ford Excursion stretch-conversion “party bus” style limo, so we can assume 17 passengers were not wearing seat belts while partying in the back. Two pedestrians were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, and were struck and killed, when the limo was said to have blazed through the stop sign at Route 30 and 30A, continuing past the perpendicular roadway, hitting a parked car, then careening down a shallow ravine, where it came to rest, apparently right-side-up, (based on photos of the scene). Eyewitness accounts said the limo may have been going as fast as 60MPH when it hit the ravine, so you can imagine the kind of forces passengers would suffer (hitting a wall of Earth at 60MPH, while not wearing seatbelts). There was no evidence of fire in the photos that have been released to the press to this point. This NY Post article has video of a tow truck pulling the mangled limo out of the ravine, as well as a quick clip of the path the limo cut in the grass as it left the roadway. You can see how the front of the vehicle is utterly destroyed, and we would assume all the passengers flew forward upon the abrupt impact, suffering fatal trauma. Limo had unlicensed driver, failed inspection before deadly crash
  18. I wonder why he would quit a lifelong appointment? Is this common for the Justices? There must be a real story in here somewhere.
  19. @JOHN BUTLER anytime you want me to lock and bury this topic feel free to ask. @The Librarian does sometimes create separate threads when he feels another has been hijacked.
