Trump capitalizing on Biden's failures... :)

"Biden is crawling around the globe on his knees begging and pleading for mercy from Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela."

Crashes? :? I think you need to clean your system up and maybe you've got a lot of crap running in memory and out of control.

If you're near Tseri you can bring your system over and we'll fix it up over a coffee.


Also, did you skip updating the Windows HOSTS file which is very important as it knocks out countless registrations schemes etc?

You can do it anytime under…

Bank for International Settlements data shows that the countries, which banks have the largest exposures are Italy, France, Austria, and the U.S. The banks with the largest exposures to Russia are Raiffeisen Bank International ($25bn), Société Générale ($21bn), Citibank ($10bn), Unicredit ($8.1bn), Credit Agricole ($7.3), Intesa Sao Paulo ($6.1bn), ING ($4.9), BNP Paribas ($3.3), Deutsche Bank ($1.5bn), and Credit Suisse ($1.1bn). These banks, especially the European ones, are the most likely to be adversely impacted if the Russian invasion intensifies.


The only one that’s any real concern is Rafaissen. The rest aren’t really touched as a percentage of their book. The plus is that Rafaissen has survived much larger exposures from the Balkan crash back in 2013 and has developed strong workout skills.


Nobody said those Banks are going to get bankrupt.
What I said is that they will lose multiple times more than the oligarchs.

Its not really an exercise of who loses more, the oligarchs or the western banks. Its how much the country of Russia loses. Btw have you spared a thought of the damage Russian banks have got? sberbank gone, RCB gone....VTB Bank don't even want to think what we'll happen to that.

Fellas, when you do a [CTRL+ALT+DEL] after exiting all programs, and you’re not getting between 0% and 5% of CPU usage (see graph below) then you don’t really have a healthy system.

It should be as close to ZERO as possible.

It's in Browser Functions not Options.
I am the admin on this computer (checked it from control panel) but the Classic says I am not!
In any case I don't want to let it auto update 16500+ entries in there.
I guess you are talking about c:windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts\host
If you can give me the relevant line for telegraph I can enter it manually.
Thanks

I know what you mean.
CPU usage is 0 to 1% on mine.
I ve killed nearly everything from from autostart ages ago using msconfig.
On services I left only the Microsoft ones and on startup only 3 Intel executables necessary for MB's sound and display.
