    Was anybody here affected by the CrowdStrike Thing?
    My nephew's wife flew to Europe that day without incident.

    No. I'm on vacation, so my interaction with the outside world and other
    people is extremely limited. Internet worked fine, and my fishing could continue uninterrupted. ;)

    Ah. There's your problem. You need a decent car, like a Tesla. :p

    Awful Tesla cars make me feel incredibly sick just looking at them from
