Thursday, June 5, 2025

Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once at 2am, waking/getting up at 5:30.

9 days remaining.

From Expat (referencing tousecurity.com): “Is the reluctance by ‘Rob’ to use Paypal connected to the company having a crackdown and working with Law Enforcement on illegal IPTV outlets? Google paypal iptv crackdown”

To Expat: “tousecurity.com Review

“The Scam Detector website Validator gives tousecurity.com a low-to-medium trust score on the platform: 46.4. It signals that the business could be defined by the following tags: Doubtful. Medium-Risk. Alert.. We are confident about our score as we also partner with other high-tech, fraud-prevention companies that found the same issues. So, why this low score? We came up with the 46.4 score based on 53 aggregated factors relevant to tousecurity.com's industry. The algorithm detected potential high-risk activity related to phishing, spamming, and other factors noted in the Doubtful. Medium-Risk. Alert. tags above. Long story short, we caution you about using this website. But let's explain in more detail.”

Based on my chess statistics, my rating is 1605 when playing The English with the White pieces, 1617 when playing The Dutch with the Black pieces but only 1480 when playing The Pirc with the Black pieces so I’m going to look at some Youtube videos on The Pirc.

I left the apt just after 9am and at the tree around the corner the peanut I put there yesterday was still there. I found Marcos waiting for me outside Tostao. They enjoyed their trip to Spain and Portugal so much they plan to return next year and he’s already looking at ticket prices. We discussed the importance of balance, and practicing it, as we get older.

I showed him the book where I’ve been keeping track of our flight prices and the cheapest flight of $810 did occur during Google’s predicted window of 18-29 days before our flight.



He left just after 10am so I walked down to Peccato but found it still closed. I walked up the hill and down a couple blocks to Otra Parte where Teresa mentioned us maybe having lunch. They obviously hadn’t opened but I took a seat as I saw a few others had. I checked their website and saw they open at noon.

I saw a small red squirrel enter their storage room. I went over and it realized I was “guarding” the entrance but didn’t panic (I think it’s getting conditioned to equating humans with food.) I tossed it the peanut I had in my pocket and watched it open it and eat it. This is the photo taken in the dark room, but I guess my flash wasn’t on.




I reviewed my Dutch defense book waiting for the restaurant to open. Teresa called at 11:15 and I told her I was already at Otra Parte.

She joined me a little after noon and we moved to a larger table. Teresa ordered the menu of the day for us which was chicken wraps with a small (!) salad and a few potato chips. It also included a bitter lemonade (ugh). As we finished it started raining and we moved under some protection but we still felt some drops but luckily it soon stopped.

We returned to the apt and we had some more rain in the afternoon.

Chesswiz98 got a strong attack against me but I held him off until the 39th move when he blundered a bishop and immediately resigned, increasing my rating to 1566.

I watched the Chris Hayes show and read some of my latest Kindle book.

We had some more rain in the evening and it was still raining when I went to bed at 10pm; blanket time.

 

FUNNY

  1. Your response is a bit odd. Many IPTV sites don’t pay for the content. It is stolen. Someone downloading HBO somewhere and redistributing it to a whole set of IPTV carriers. That’s how you get it so cheap. It’s pirated content. Yes many of the feeds (more often the free ones) do spread malware. Paypal is going after IPTV providers (and they are leaving the site in droves) NOT because of malware but because Paypal don’t want to end up being sued by the copyright holders for aiding the pirating. As I have said many times you think MedellĂ­n TV is a real business when its likely isn’t.
