Come up as private? Can you expand on that? What sites? What's the exact message/error you get?

Thanks for the critique. Well done. Still doesn't make me want to go. LOL! Frank Herbert is...well let's just say I can't read him and leave it at that.
Put Walken in every scene and I'd go!
It was the best dune has to offer a guy who doesn't like it.

Against my better judgement, I went to see Dune 2. Don't worry, this is spoiler free
Let me start by saying... i really enjoyed it.
Let me follow up by saying... I HATE DUNE. I seem to vent about this a lot, but the plot of Dune is honestly mind numbing. It's unrelentingly slow. I tried to read it and I got bored. I tried the audio book, the narrator spoke slowly. Dune is so slow that even killing someone with a knife requires you to stab slowly. It's even SLOWER when they took one book and made it into two full length movies.... the second one was almost 3 hours.
That being said, it's a beautiful film, They found a way to make a bleak desert world really come to life on the screen. The soundtrack and audio were top notch. I will warn you that seeing it in the theater will absolutely wreck your ear drums. At least it did at my location. I shot an AK for an hour or two once without ear pro and besides the buzz that lasted for days, it felt a lot like that (I was like 18, don't judge me).
Pros:If you're into visuals, crazy action and love sci-fi fantasy, you could certainly do a lot worse. It does some some Hollywood diversity tropes... but it didn't get in the way of anything. I also recommend going to see it in the theater.
So the Cons:
Zendaya. Her role is fine. She fufills it, but it's just her being stern like every other charcter she plays. That's in either Dune film. They didn't even have her try to sound exotic. She and her friend in the film are just kinda like teenage girls who do stuff. It's fine, whatever.
Around around halfway through the film, you can almost see the point when they realized they filmed too much and had to make cuts. Again... no spoilers, but there's a part where a character seems to almost instantly teleport from one part of the globe to another while on foot. Meanwhile, another character catches up to them in an aerial vehicle that they didn't have before. Just tada! I don't really care for montages and it suffered from that in several places.
There are at least 450 lingering portrait shots of the main characters. It doesn't take away from the film, but after awhile you have to wonder if they could have cut that out vs something more interesting
There are a couple of parts where a character appears and you're like... wha??? and then they just kinda... go away....
Walken is in it, but he's not doing Walken things. That's almost criminal.

My wife sleeps like a log with a CPAP now. She adapted quickly. It actually annoys me more than her these days since I tend to extend an arm out from my pillow and get my hand/arm tangled up in her air tube.
She lost weight and generally improved her overall health.
She has more energy, wakes up early and rested these days.
It also improved her sinus and asthma issues. Breathing filtered humidified air ~7 hours a night has greatly cut back on her breathing issues. She nearly died 30 years ago from pneumonia and suffered permanent lung damage as a result. The CPAP while not reversing any of that has lessened symptoms and side effects to a low annoyance, low maintenance level.I was referring to the test lab where they hook you up with all the medical equipment. Everyone struggles with that. Once you get the CPAP/APAP home, it takes a couple of days/weeks to acclimate, but then the benefits become obvious.

Common sense for me is enforcing the laws you have right now. Like keeping repeat and violent offenders behind bars.

Didn’t sleep good with all the hoses, I felt constricted. Mainly I had a bad feeling that it was going to be very costly ,and the insurance wasn’t helping much.Just not in the mood for all that right now.
So the trick is that nobody sleeps well with the hoses. They also know this.
I got lucky because I was tested during the pandemic, so they just made me use the at home test.

Ghostbusters: Frozen was really good. My wife and I took our grandson to see it on opening day. He's a huge fan and the movie did not disappoint. It's definitely the 2nd best in the series after the original.
better than ghostbusters 2? i really enjoyed that one. HE IS VIGO!

For the record here, the Francis Scott Key bridge is a part of the federal interstate highway system (I-695). It is also a primary conduit of truck traffic through the area and the designated route for hazmat cargo through Baltimore. this will have a significant impact on commerce and logistics, both by land and sea for quite a while until the bridge has been rebuilt.
I have a feeling those two tunnels nearby are about to get a workout.

My first question is WHY don't you use it anymore. I'm hoping because you got a better one or some alternative vs simply "I quit using it".
Sorry/Not sorry about the health challenge, but I couldn't imagine being without mine. Total game changer.

$1 for a bag of 100 men. Great war games with firecrackers and BB guns. I left divisions of these in the dirt at every childhood home.
My mom recently dug up several buried GI joes in the flowerbed. Lol

What story do I need to bring forth? ( rig?)
well you're either a gamer, an overclocker or a renderer. Specs would be cool.

Not much to go on, but that sounds like certificate errors. It's unlikely that all of the websites are having cert problems. Does it happen with other devices on your new network? can you go to those sites on another computer or your cell phones/tablet?
One silly question, is your clock set right on the computer? Day, Month, Year, time (timezone)?
