Keeping an eye on tropical storm HATO

forecasts get more accurate the closer to the actual event you come

The storm is moving west northwest and is anticipated to diminish to a tropical depression after entering China.  Expect increased local shower activity after wednesday and the week beyond.  No local alerts have been issued at this time.
Hoto could potentially grow into a typhoon

I was hoping, I wasn't expecting a win.
I did anticipate the heavy rain shower

It was a fast moving and action packed game.  Plenty of groaning with many near misses.

Movie streaming buffering problems
Search for  "internet speed test," run the test, check speed multiple times.  If it's not the speed you expected, contact your provider.
Buffering  can be a problem from your end or from the sending end. First you must insure your equipment is primed:
  1. Connect your computer by Ethernet to your modem. A wired connection is generally faster than wifi. During my own tests I gained double the speed when wired over wifi
  2. If you can't connect by ethernet move your computer as close to the modem as possible.
  3. Clean your browser history, including cookies. Alternatively use a different browser dedicated only to streaming without any unnecessary extensions.
  4. Clean out your computer startup folder.
  5.  Check your task / activity manager and disable any unnecessary functions
  6. Disable hardware acceleration in your video settings (right click on video).
