Odd thing is I never get local spam calls. My phone # I've had since college isn't in the state I live in, so I can basically screen everything from 208
What's your current headache?

I get this bullshit regularly by phone, mail, and door knock. I live in NE Portland and the real estate market is bonkers out here but still, fuck off you vultures.

Vulture: "We're looking to buy houses in your neighborhood. Would you ever consider selling your home?"
Me: "No; I plan to die here." Shuts door in face.

100% accuracy. It's almost like you were there the first time I had this conversation on my porch in 2013 like a week after moving in.

It’s almost like giant corporate conglomerates are using AI to buy up property. Hmm weird.

AmplifiedParts' website.
For more than a year now, it has not worked, for me.
It is the ONLY website that doesn't work for me. Whether talking forums, vendors, info, travelogues, media... ONLY AP's site and JUST AP's site.
Beyond the homepage, there is nothing. I cannot navigate beyond the home-page whether clicking on a link from the home-page or from an external link (such as someone here posting a link to an AP-webpage).
'Puter is a MacBook Pro 2021 w 16GB memory running the latest system-software Tahoe 26.5, upgraded this morning. STILL DOES NOT WORK.
I'd like to surf the site, maybe catch a sale or two. All I get is a blank page after clicking on a link from the HomePage, any link I click I get a page like this one:

When I first noticed it, I thought it was a problem with AP's website and waited for them to update/refresh/maintain the site ... but then other people were posting stuff about AP and I couldn't see the links and that was after a few months of not being able to access it...
I can't find the original exchange on the forum when I first noted the problem, probably because AP used to be under another username, then it was changed to AmplifiedParts (IIRC) and now AmplifiedPartsTom — so I cannot find the original exchange, but Tom or whoever had the AP account at the time told me to try upgrading my software. I did, it didn't work and I decided it was AP's problem not mine.
However, I've checked with other people's computers, my wife's and some friends' Macbooks, and they have no problem accessing all areas of the site. So I've upgraded again and ... see post#1906. I was just venting.
I don't think Tom can help, unless he makes house-calls moonlighting as an Exorcist.

Squirrel in the attic. He's been tormenting us for months, making really loud noises. I found the hole it got in through and patched it up with chicken wire, thinking the bugger was outside at the time (there were no signs of life). Alas, turns out he was hiding somewhere, and now he's been trapped in the attic for almost a week. What can I do? He runs away when I try to catch it, so he basically chooses death by starvation/dehydration. He's really weak by now, limping around, but still won't let me catch it - he hides in a tight corner where I can't fit. Today I made a one-way box trap as a last attempt to get him alive. Get in there, buddy, eat your peanuts, and stay there if you know what's good for you. Otherwise I'll have to collect your dead body when the noises stop...
Proper trap should get him.
My current headache is a neck ache. Particularly, a slipped disc C3/C4. Neck, left arm, rotator cuff, left shoulder blade, all inflamed. It's pretty terrible.
Best part is I am on day 3 of 8 days in Orlando with the family. Woke up with it hurting at 3am the morning of our red eye. Hasn't let up.
Sitting today out. I started a steroid pack yesterday and with it and 600 mg Percocet, powered through it. I need to rest this though to hope for any return to normalcy. Had enough bourbon to KO a horse last night and actually slept for 5 hours. First time in 3 nights. Hoping the steroid and cycling between heat and ice calm it down. Sucks to have this planned for months and months then get this curveball. I got an epidural in my low back 2 weeks ago to try and be able to keep up on the trip. Been having neck issues but not like this. MR showed I have a herniation at C3/4 a few months back(1 of 6! FML) but it hasn't resulted in this before.
So, sitting at the resort while Mom and the kids are at Magic Kingdom. Bleh.

Pass the bourbon and Percocet
. Woof, ya rest up. Disney with family is exhausting enough. Trying to do that with neck and back pain sounds unbearable Even with the Percocet and bourbon.Thanks.Pass the bourbon and Percocet
I did leave a several hour gap between the two.
Can only imagine what a black market liver costs in today's economy.

Thanks F_F, 'tis appreciated. Alas...
Been there done that, multiple times with both with the old 15.x OS and with the new 26.x OS.
Gotta wonder what happened to OS 16, OS 17, OS 18 ... right up to OS 25, that there's a HOOOOJ gap between OS 15 and OS 26.
I have given up on Safari and gone to the dark side, now my computer is infected with *gulp* Gargooyle Khrome — am able to finally see all the Amplified Parts' sale-items now out of stock... Victory is MINE!
