I'd put money on it being a connection issue, but it couldn't hurt to try clearing your cache (if you haven't done so already) and making sure that your hard drive isn't full.

So yeah, the problem happens on both Chrome and Firefox.  If it's a connection problem though, why is it always the same images that won't load (meaning that once an image breaks or loads, that image will almost always break or load, respectively), why do they load on my dash and not on the blogs, and why do they load when viewing the blog from its preview window through the search function?

Just you you understand when I say "breaks in the blog but loads in the preview":

(click to show/hide)

So, the images will load under specific circumstances.  Do connection problems do the same things?

Question: What's the best microphone to record with and is under $200?

i dunno about best, but in 5 years, this little guy has never let my bassist or me down. this guy is a powerhouse for half your budget.

question: at what post count can you be legitimately considered a lurker and not a forgotten/abandonned member?
@ guizonde: I think I like the way you think.

Why is the 4th July the only time Americans put the date in the right order?  Why don't they call it July 4th like they normaly would?

It's because "The 4th of July" sounds more majestic than a simple "July 4th". We use the genitive case like that for important dates, like the 4th of July, or the Cinco de Mayo.

I hear it both ways all the time. As for why Americans write the date different from everyone else, I don't know.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

I once had it explained to me by an American.  He explained, "Because 'MURICA!"

I'm not joking by the way, that's a real conversation.  Though he was joking.

So, I have some British Shillings (minted in the 50s and early 60s), a 5 Franc coin (1960), a super tarnished coin that appears to be a King George V quarter (Canadian), and a shit load of Australian coins minted in the 60s and 70s. Any chance some these might be worth more than their face value?

The older coins may have a significant percentage of silver in them. Most nations cut back on, or completely replaced the silver content with steel or nickel alloys once silver became too expensive to use in minting.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

The ants in my bathroom Just.  Won't.  Die.  I used the same fucking formula I used in my bedroom and in the kitchen, and it worked great in those areas, but these fucking bathroom bitches won't die.  It's the same damn kind of ant, too.  And what's more, after baiting for the first time, they'll swarm the bait for maybe six hours, then they won't touch it again, unlike the kitchen and bedroom ants.  And if that weren't enough, these fucking cockmongling assholes avoid any and all baits like the damn plague after the first baiting, no matter what food I use, and no matter what the bait is in.  Sugar?  Nope.  Honey?  Nope.  Syrup?  Nope.  Jam?  Nope.  Peanut butter?  Nope.  They absolutely will not touch it.  This happened the last time they were in the bathroom, too. 

What is it about being in the fucking bathroom that makes these assholes impossible to kill?! (In case you haven't noticed, I really fucking hate ants.)

Edit:  Nevermind, they're finally gone.

So, about a month ago, my laptop (which is about 5 years old) started doing this thing where it would BSOD every time I try to exit Chrome all at once.  I couldn't even close windows without a risk of crashing.  I'd have to close out the majority of tabs of each window before closing that window.  A couple of weeks ago, for about a week, it stopped doing that, and I could exit out of Chrome normally.  Now, it's crashing upon exit again. 

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this BSOD?

Have you updated any of your browser or OS software since it stopped crashing?    Maybe a bug was fixed before, then a new one popped up following a subsequent update.
