FWIW -
When you catch the “502 BG” msg, wait a sec and try a 2nd time - works for my system.
Good luck

‘Flake for Game Show Host’…Like PRyan without the rich old lady.
Grassley (R-Iowa) has not said when the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the nomination. On Friday, McConnell predicted that will likely happen in late August or early September. McConnell canceled 3 weeks of the summer recess, so the Senate is expected to be in Washington for most of August, The Hill reported.
Okay, so they’re staying in session to hold hearings on Kavanaugh and because McConnell controls the proceedings and can cut off debate and can bring the nomination to a vote, we can expect that he’ll be confirmed early September. And that’s a tragedy right there. But this Senate is not known for its multitasking skills so we shouldn’t be surprised if Flake’s proposal or any others from either chamber having to do with taking PP to task will be addressed before November. They need to get re-elected and will do nothing to upset that particular apple cart.

Flake is a player: he is not reliable, except that, reliably, he will not put his back into going after Trump. A little outrage here and there, but where the rubber meets the road, support for Trump. Just like Little Marco.

Before my time, but I know he never ascended to the Presidency, and he’s not worshipped today as is Reagan.
I’d cite him as an example of how GOP crazies were once upon a time relegated to the fringe.

I appreciate that he was before your time, and that therefore you don’t want to judge his relationship (or lack thereof) with objective reality — but before we say he was a fringe crazy, let’s at least recall that he was the nominee of the Republican Party!

I see you managed to fabricate a spine out of putty, Jeff. Don’t stand too near the heatr or it will harden and you’ll be in bigly trouble.
Arizona is ashamed of you, “Senator”, and your political career is over. (At least if we voters have anything to say about it.)

I had a friend and co-worker, that despite all evidence, felt Reagan walked on water. He still does.
I don’t get what Flake’s game is. I won’t go as far to call him a coward - he could just retire meekly and quietly like Ryan. Just speaking out about Trump makes him an Apostate RINO, so he probably gets sacks of misspelled death threats every day. He could be looking to primary Trump in 2020. That could explain speaking out but doing nothing to actually rock the GOP boat (the one loaded with donor cash).

It could simply be the threshold has been passed and he is doing something rare, the right thing. Late and clouded by history.
I would be snarky about that, but this week, I want to believe it actually.
until you repube flakes call for impeachment you will be enablers and co-conspirators to the demise of the nation. period
great that you found the balls to speak, now find the balls to action

Hey, Jeff, if you switched parties you might find it easier to hold the president accountable. Otherwise STFU you grandstanding wanna be famous.

However, GOP Rejects Two Resolutions Affirming Support For U.S. Intelligence Community, they still will not do a damn thing. They can’t even back any US Agency findings, let alone do something about making sure we don’t have a repeat.

In my 45+ years in IT we tested on every platform we could get our hands on. We never asked our clients to submit problem tickets before we started on any issue that creeped up. For something like a Bad Gateway error there should have been automatic notification to administrators of the issue. Over a few days time admins could see how bad it was/is getting and assign proper priorities and level of support staff. At this point, at least 2 weeks in, there should have been a front page notification to users of the issue. That notification should have been updated at least twice daily. That is just common sense and common courtesy to your user community.
As a retired COO, once this is solved, I would conduct an investigation about my teams response. Heads would roll if for nothing else than lack of information and lack of sense of urgency. The heads in question would not be the lowest rung by any means.

As a former CIO myself, I hear you, ljb860! And the Bad Gateway issue has reared its head here multiple times over many months, even years. It usually coincides with massive amounts of traffic but that hasn’t been the case this week.
Suffice it to say that tech is not TPM’s strong suit but I don’t mind sending them trouble tickets when I encounter a problem. Yesterday, I hit on a bug I hadn’t seen before so I took a screen grab and sent it in while also informing them that we’d been seeing the 502 Bad Gateway error again.
The last thing I want is to see TPM comments go the way of Think Progress or HuffPo and simply adopting Facebook commenting.
But you’re right, point by point…

This. I was feeling hopeful after I wrote to them yesterday and got back a note fairly quickly saying that they were looking into it. Things seemed to have stabilized after that, so I assumed they’d restarted a gorf’ed server or otherwise found something amiss to fix, but sadly, the errors are back today (although at least here in SoCal they seem to be not as bad as yesterday).
I did look through their staff list during my poke around yesterday and was saddened (but not surprised) to see that all the tech staff seem to be web devs, graphic designers, etc. From what we’re seeing, the problem is a backend server or comm problem, triggered by higher traffic levels so what they need is a sysadmin type familiar with their setup. At this point, i’d pay a second Prime subscription to get a peek at their log files.
I really do dread the day the next round of indictments come out, sure to grind this poor place to its knees.
