I can often load b.org when I'm having trouble with other sites.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that sounds like a DNS issue. Our DNS settings, if memory serves, last a donkey's age, but most sites don't.

We have Comcast and I feel like we reboot our router way more often than we did back in California when we had a small local cable/internet carrier.

Yes, I generally figure if I can't get to b.org, or it loads very slowly, then I'm REALLY having internet issues

Consuela, why don't you just archive or delete the things you've already read?

I had several day battle with Firefox, which was taking several tries to open every page. Scouring the internet gave me a fix that makes no sense but works.
I'm curious now what the solution was!

Adding the Adblock extension. It seems that quite a few people have had this problem after different Firefox upgrades, and someone somewhere serendipitously added Adblock. There were forums of messages like this: "At this point, I'll try anything." "Eureka! It worked!"

I have done, but... I'm a completist. I like having all my music on my iPod, and who knows whether I might need to look up something in the KJV at a moment's notice?
... Okay, yeah. It's just a thing. Also the new Kindles are a lot lighter and smaller.

I've only had the Nook two weeks, and I'm already thinking, "If I were trapped somewhere for days, I could read all the Oz books."

Exactly!
In fact, I got the whole run of Young Wizards on Black Friday, and read them all in the last two weeks. It was awesome.
