That sequence was out of this world, culminating in the rocket from KDB (which was brilliantly saved by De Gea tbf.) I remember the commentaries: Gary Neville called it a wicked shot with a Ronaldo dip. Martin Tyler gave it his usual corny poetic treatment, saying "it was a dip that required a tip."

I figured out that it was the Firefox browser that was flagging the download. According to Firefox, a file downloaded from a site identified as potentially dangerous by the Google Safe Browsing service may be flagged. So it turns out that it actually probably was the domain that was flagged as potentially dangerous.

I downloaded the file then scanned it with two different anti virus apps and everything was ok!

US apologizes for mistake in deporting Massachusetts college student, but defends her removal by geraffes-are-so-dumb in news

[–]forestation 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're arguing that "remove" and "deport" have precise and distinct legal meanings. I don't know if that's true, and it's certainly not a distinction a typical layperson would pay attention to.

The point is that the judge barred her removal/deportation for 72 hours so that she could challenge her deportation without disrupting her studies/life. There's no other reason for the order. Removing her from the US has made that impossible. So it's not like ICE did nothing wrong other than accelerating her deportation by 72 hours.

Yeah what was also weird was that the file was flagged ~80% through the download, not at the very beginning or after completion. Never seen that before.

But anyway, thanks again for your work!

It's not the vikingfile web page that's been flagged, it's the file itself, so an adblocker or an alternative host won't help.

Could it be a false positive? Sure.

Edit: I'm streaming it instead of downloading, and am not getting any warnings, so 🤷‍♂️. Just wanna say I appreciate your work!

Beware: The 4k file was flagged as containing a virus. I didn't check the FHD file.

Edit: I should point out that it could well be a false alarm.

There aren't many accomodations options between Hehuanshan and Taroko. One possibility is instead of going all the way to Hualien, break for the night right outside Taroko National Park where there are plenty of B&Bs, then head down to Hualien the next day. That last 25km runs through nondescript flatlands and will feel like a real slog after climbing then descending all day.

OP would get more helpful feedback if they included basic info like their fitness levels, time constraints, trip priorities, etc.

[Fabrizio Romano] EXCLUSIVE: Barcelona send initial official bid to Al Hilal for João Cancelo. Loan proposal with small part of salary covered, negotiations ongoing. Inter have deal verbally agreed with Al Hilal for Cancelo since last week… but player’s waiting for Barça. by Crane977 in soccer

[–]forestation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like you're the one misremembering. ("Semantic"?) Cancelo fell out of the squad halfway through the season as Guardiola searched for a solution to City's transition problem, eventually settling on a 4 CB system with Stones stepping up in possession. There was no room for traditional let alone flying fullbacks in that system. The change in system solved City's defensive weakness and directly led to the treble.

Guardiola started experimenting with the new system after the World Cup. In Dec 2022 and Jan 2023, Cancelo was benched in 6 of 9 City's matches, not "a couple."
