There is a financial and societal nightmare on its way that no man can stop. It won’t be very long.

I agree and finally, even mr. mm is seeing the light and is motivated to do what we can on our house while we still have the money, while it's still worth something, and while the materials to do it are still available.

The idea is to get as self-sufficient as possible.

It won't be what I had ultimate plans for. It's too late for that now.

Very well stated, Jim. Those sentiments are exactly why I am a proud contributing member of Free Republic. Carry on, Sir!

Jim, this is your best post ever.

Thank you very much.

By the way, our traffic more than doubled on election day and the server held up very well after John installed the new nginx software package. We had 478,559 visits from 273,808 unique visitors and delivered 2,926,290 pageviews. We peaked at 214,298 pageviews per hour at 6:00 pm pacific. In the days prior we were peaking at around 75,000 pageviews per hour and couldn’t handle the load. We had been averaging just over a million pageviews per day. I’d say John did fine.

the bill comes due, justice demands it.

After the Depression and bankruptcy and ensuing war ... the country will be pro-life by mid-century. A poorer America, no longer a world power. But a Republic again. (In the meantime, the suffering that the liberal suburbanites will endure will surpass anything the church goes through. They are spiritually unfit, and unable to handle the coming adversity.)

I refuse to throw my cards in. Even though it seems like all I am holding is a handful of worthless cards ... 7-3-3-4-9-6-6 ... a pair of threes and a pair of sixes. Is that a full house or two pair?

That’s two of a kind working on a full house.

I'd say John did more than fine ... and as a nerd myself, he deserves the same thanks as you, I should have said that.

We peaked at 214,298 pageviews per hour at 6:00

Not bad, and more impressive given that (I think) he was still battling DB stuff.

The nerds never get the credit ... of course, that just increases our virtue in terms of humility, we tell ourselves.

In-memory application level dataset caching for probably 15 seconds or 30 seconds is the secret to going to 1 Million views per hour. Session level for configuration of the site for individual users, maybe some abstraction can be done there too. But it sounds like John has a handle on it. Fiddling with DB interaction during busy times is always ... not smart ...

Best til next time ...

Don't be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. (Galatians 6:7)

This is an absolute truth and one that is true for ALL time and for ALL people.

God bless you, JR, for all the good you do. The rewards you will reap can never be taken away from you. Thank you for your faithfulness.

Well, if there is no need for a constitution anymore, we won’t need a Supreme Court either!

And Obama has already stated that there’s no need for a congress either. He’d be much more flexible and could get much more accomplished if he did not have to deal with congress. Harry Reid agrees. Don’t need no steenking congress to pass a law. And Nancy Pelosi says you have to vote for it so you can find out what’s in it. Justice is not the only blind institution. The socialists have all the answers. Don’t need no little people interfering with their plans.

Jim, you are absolutely correct. The statist doesn’t recognize God, and doesn’t recognize that we have eternal souls. Because of that there are no inalienable rights and to the statist, a man is nothing more than a piece of meat, to be disposed of as the state sees fit.


Exactly.

Well THIS little people ain't going to go quietly into that good night! As long as I'm alive, I plan to be interfering every chance I get!!! And I do not think I'm alone in this.
