I went and read the post next door. I have not been involved with nation infrastructure directly, but am aware of a few parts.
Speaking in overly general terms, there are proxy servers in the US that internet traffic gets routed through to help speed things up especially when viewing websites outside of the US.
Lets say you go to a website with lots of graphics like the DailyMail. You are looking at a copy that is only a few minutes old. if you click a link to a story that nobody else has viewed, you will see data directly from the dailymail.server, but everyone after you will see your copy. The page will be refreshed after some set amount of time.
These proxy servers can also function as an “Internet kill switch” and is one of the places that traffic can be intercepted and copied to get all that meta data we’ve heard so much about in the past.
Again, this is just overly generalized because there are lots of different entities involved and methods of hooking things together differ from one to another.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Maybe your DSL modem/router had a forced software/firmware update, or your DHCP lease expired and it didn’t handle the change well. Was the outage under a half hour? If so, it might just have been that.

And building codes in Dade were exceptionally crappy. City/county let codes and enforcement slide during the building boom, much of the damage was from thst period’s construction, old houses built with storms in mind rode it out.
State instituted more stringent standards post-A, we used some of them building our bunker, they even exceed NOLA’s post-K codes. I’d worry more about the storm surge in Miami than the wind…that and the looters.

East sides of hurricanes are far less problematic than centers to west sides, and farther west you are the more better. When Georges took a wee jog east and hit over by Gilfport, about 80 miles east. Instead of drowning us we got mild tropical force winds and some rain. If the storm stays offshore a ways then the dirt areas should get some icky weather but no where near as bad as if they got close to the eye. Building codes went way up after the Andrew debacle so damages should be minimal even if it moves closer to shore.

Georges was late September, 1998. It was making a beeline straight for the mouth of the Mississippi and in line with NOLA when it stopped dead in its tracks for about two hours and when it restarted took a slight jog before it resumed its northward track and slammed into Gulfport/Biloxi. Some say the stop and change was some act of meteorological phenomenon but some 14,000 people in the Dome praying for it to change course, not to mention the other churces that were full of penitents, surely played a part.

Ag people around here did a study post-K as K cut a lawnmower-like swath thru Mississippi. They found that native trees survived the storm best (confirms Miami post-A studies) and those native trees with tap roots in place did best of all. Problem is that when developers plant nursery trees they frequently do not have their tap roots, leaving only the weaker feeding roots to support them. If that oak grew there it should have the tap place and in NOLA we have oaks that have withstood hurricanes for hundreds of years. Ditto pine trees, those with taps in place may snap but unless a tornado plows into them they aren’t going to uproot. Trimming the limbs also helps to reduce the windload.
LikeLiked by 1 person

Coincidental you should send that. I’m building a .300 Blackout upper as we speak. Difference is I bought a nitrided barrel, gas tube, gas block and bolt carrier group for greater durability (as if I’d live long enough to wear one out). Got super prices on the nitrided parts, couldn’t resist.
Blackout’s about a 200 yard cartridge anyway, just like the .458 Socom and .50 Beowulf but then it’s hard to find an area around me that doesn’t have trees or brush inside of 200 yards. I sort of like having an AKish round with better magazine capacity for deer and pigs though I could sorta make up some difference by jiggling the .223 rounds I use in the AR.

As I read it, I couldn’t help but think about all of our little North Koreas in the form of BLM-dominated thug cities. All lies, all the time, until it just comes natural, until everyone believes them all, and even when they don’t, they lie anyway. Instead of the Imperialist Americans to blame for everything, they have their own Goldstein, “White Americans”.
There are so many more parallels in America’s “North” (TV-hypnotized Americans, BLM, SJW, LBGTQQ+, Occupy, and all their Dear Leaders) it’s uncanny. It’s like we have North Korea, in spirit, living among us.

Very true. A grandma here recently left her 9 month old grandbaby in the car while she went in to pay for her gas when the gas pumps wouldn’t take her card. Her side was that he was asleep and she didn’t want to wake him up and get him out to run in for a minute. She had pulled up to the gas pumps, rolled down the windows and got out to pump her gas, the pump was messed up and wasn’t reading cards, she got back in car pulled to front of store where she could see the car at all times. She left it running with AC on, windows rolled up and doors locked. A cop pulls at the same time she is coming out of the store. IMHO he way overreacted, arrested her, had DHS pick up baby. Thankfully, for her the DA thought it was bs and refused to charge her.
The local paper ran a front page story about her being arrested and made it out like she was the most horrible person in the world. The comments by the DA and the fact that he wasn’t prosecuting her was ran on page 3.

There is a creek and a deep, old forest at the bottom. You would die if you sledded from the top of this dune.

In Defense of the LA Times Poll
https://www.peoplespunditdaily.com/news/elections/2016/10/02/defense-la-times-poll/
After nearly a week of interviews conducted after the first presidential debate, Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by roughly 5 points in the LA Times Poll, 46.9% to 42.2%. TV pundits have stuck to conventional political wisdom, despite the fact it has failed them at every turn this election cycle.
As a result, the LA Times Poll has been taking even more heat than it has in the previous several weeks, which is really saying something.
Last week, during an appearance on Fox News, Larry Sabato, whom we respect (so save your emails), insinuated “random sample polls” have shown an impact from the debate that favors Mrs. Clinton. It was an indirect dig at the LA Times Poll–and, the People’s Pundit Daily U.S. Presidential Election Daily Tracking Poll for that matter–a dig that has been repeated on Twitter by others like Sean Trende at Real Clear Politics.
But there’s something pretty damn significant missing from the conventional wisdom-based argument, something I think readers and election-watchers should know. In 2012, the model and methodology they are using, which was designed by the team behind the RAND Continuous Presidential Election Poll, or the “Daybreak Poll,” was was right when most other traditional random sample polls were wrong.
But that’s not it. It’s the reason why the model was right that is of particular significance to this election cycle. Let’s take a look at how they polled the 2012 presidential election between President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney, and their results.

Stella; It was Rommney’s election to lose. And that Candy Crowley moment, I would have said Bullship to Candy, and just kept on verbally beating Obola. Romney brought a knife to a gun fight………
The second part of the article should be interesting……….

Wooly, I hope you don’t think I’m beating up on you today. I really do not agree with Chis Rock, and his assertion that Bill Clinton’s actions did not justify the response he received.
It was never about the sex act. it was that he lied.

Oh I know. And subsequently tried to destroy (yet another) woman’s life.
I was only being tongue-in-cheek.
