This uptime monitor must be streaming illegal football (soccer) because it's blocked in Spain.

    IP              Provider                       Status
    188.114.97.5 AS13335 (CLOUDFLARENET, US)     Blocked
    188.114.96.5 AS13335 (CLOUDFLARENET, US)     Blocked

And the funny thing is free football is working as always. I know because a friend is watching a game right now while he comments on HN.

And scheduling a call between Indonesia's President and Eric Trump[0].

> In a private exchange picked up by microphones, the Indonesian leader asked to meet Eric Trump, to which the president answered, “I’ll have Eric call you,”

> We’re building a great hotel, and that’s going to start very soon. And I never met the president, and I used to go over there quite a bit. And obviously we manage teams over there, and it’s pretty amazing that he knew who I was. And, you know, it’s obviously — I don’t get involved in politics in Indonesia — but when I heard that, I started laughing. ‘Can I please meet Eric?’ He must know the projects very well.

cloudflare. Most of the internet behind cloudflare is blocked whenever there are football being played in La Liga (the Spanish League).

A far as I'm concerned, they're just intentionally failing to do their job. And they *all* in congress should be fired for job abandonment. And yes, rerun elections, with those idiots not allowed to run.

After all, when I look at my W2 (yeah, I'm a working stiff), they sure as hell are taking out taxes still. That aint "shut down". It's a scam.

Something about "taxation without representation". I think we went to war over that before.
