@nitinkhanna Is it the thing that won't let you view content if you have AdBlock enabled? I figure the content is not worth my time whenever I stumble across such things.
@gtwilson This sounds like a problem I was having with a Win10 box a couple of months ago. I finally had to break down and install the OS from scratch. Bah!
@indigo Follow-up. It turns out they finally did make a diagnosis on my friend: progressive supranuclear palsy. I hadn't talked to them about the disease in a few months so hadn't heard they'd found out. I mostly just see my friend and she can't talk well enough to tell me this sort of thing. We had smoothies again today. It was pleasant. I hadn't had a smoothie in years and now I'm having them all the time. I've tried all kinds of varieties and we've mostly decided we like blueberry the best as the primary fruit. I usually get them made with apple juice but we've decided to try coconut milk next week. Not sure I'm really down for that my friend seemed happy with that idea. :-)
@jws And, sadly, at that point people desperate enough drive without a license or insurance. Sigh… :-(

@JeremyCherfas Part of the problem is that out here in the middle of the country, public transportation is not terribly convenient for most people. If you don't live close enough to a line or your job isn't close, you're screwed. You either have to drive or find someone who can give you a ride. So, people take risks. I'm guessing some of them can afford the insurance and resent having to pay for something they don't think they need but others are deciding between rent/food and insurance. It's not good. Most people, obviously, do have insurance. But, there are plenty of people who don't.

@indigo Yep. Our brother has stayed at their house a couple of times in the past when they've gone out of town. They might have to try and go that route again next time. :-)
