It is so irritating that I can't get to DU without shutting down my VPN.

This doesn't happen ALL the time and ONLY happens with Firefox. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I have no issues with any other sites or addresses.

Common sense concerning the Taylor Swift uproar from an unexpected source...

I never expected Cowherd to go out on THIS limb.

Keto diet observation and question

The ONLY thing that I find difficult about Keto is eating enough fat without overdoing it on the protein. Unless I really, really try hard, I eat more of the latter than the former every day. And I know that isn't good.
Any thoughts from you who have done this successfully?
I know all about fat bombs and bullet proof coffee, but If I add those to my diet, my calories sky rocket and at 67, too many calories is NOT a good thing. I know by eating sardines for supper, I can keep the protein and fat more in line, but dayum, that gets old quickly.
I also don't do the heavy cream thing for the same reason(as much as I love it). The calories outweigh the benefits.
Thanks for any insights.

When I die, this worldly existence of mine will miss, more than anything else,

the joy and wonderment of listening to music.

Music travels all around my body.
Now I can say it's living right through me.
Listening to music puts me in a good mood;
It makes me want to stand up and start to groove.

Music can make me forget all of my pain.
It brings out the sun when I can only see the rain.
I put on my headphones and play all of my songs.
I could listen to it all day long.

Music takes me to another place,
Higher than the sky and far away from the space.
There's nothing to compare to it in the whole world.
It wouldn't even be better than my favorite girl.

Music can teach you many lessons,
Like stand up for your rights and all the good reasons.
I know there are people who think the same way
Because they know music lives in us every day.

Just my opinion but I wish Ackman and Buck

Could announce just ONE game impartially. They just can't.

They (repugs and magats) are going to nominate a CONVICTED RAPIST for POTUS.

That alone should tell you everything you need to know about their depravity.
Even if you put aside all the OTHER stuff, the theft of classified documents, the taking of millions of dollars from foreign entities while president, and attempting to overthrow the peaceful change of leadership (otherwise known as an insurrection), this ONE thing that he has been convicted of should be enough to remove him from the running.
But, sadly, it is not for millions of Americans.

Fun real estate fact

The White house is worth $110 million.

But as long as a Democrat lives there, it will NEVER be for sale.

My uncle, who is 60, is in need of health insurance.

He lives in ultra rural Alabama and the nearest "city" is an hour away. He used to be self employed picking up eggs for Marshall Durbin.
They wanted/demanded him to rebuild the chicken houses at 1/2 a million dollars. He refused and they took the houses away from him even though he had been the highest grossing egg producer for the prior 18 years. He has been unemployed for a couple of years now.
Here is my question. He is being quoted $1000 a month for health insurance. Is he eligible for government assistance? Right now, he is completely without any insurance.
TIA
