Hi. Just saw your post. Sorry that you went unnoticed for a while. It is demoralizing when that happens. Iy"h as you continue doing great, you will discover the challenge of trying to keep tabs on all the guys here. Your comment though is well taken. Maybe GYE could appoint someone who has a bit more time to keep an eye out for this.... Hatzlocha!

BH WE APPROACH YOM KIPPUR WITH 7 MONTHS CLEAN!
During World War 2 when the Mirrer Yeshiva was in Shanghai for Yom Kippur the weather was extremely hot. The bochurim davened without their hats and jackets and many even fainted from the intense heat. However one person seemed to be oblivious to it all and that was their Mashgiach Rav Chatzkel Levenstein Zatsal. He was wearing his frock and davening with as much kavana as if he would be in a comfortable room! The bochurim decided to surprise him. Rav Chatzkel used to daven very long and instructed the bochurim not to wait. After the fast the bochurim ate a little and went back to the Beis Medrash to learn while Rav Chatzkel was still davening Ne'ila. When he turned around he saw them and was very moved, he spoke to them as follows. "There was once a rich man who built himself a beautiful palace and decided to invite the whole town to the Chanukas Habayis. During the ceremony he would put an exquisite ornament on the very top! The great day arrives and this fellow is at the top when suddenly he loses his balance and falls into the mud! After regaining conciousness he starts screaming MY PALACE FELL! MY PALACE FELL! Someone comes over and tells him you must be a little confused still your palace didn't fall you fell. Brush yourself off and see for yourself. So too said Rav Chatzkel, we just had a Major Yom Kippur with all the Mesirus Nefesh and everyone is inspired  but in the future things may not always go so great, but always remember this Yom Kippur we built a mansion EVEN IF WE FALL IN THE MUD THE PALACE IS STILL THERE FOR WHEN WE BRUSH OURSELVES OFF! Perhaps we had some streaks of success this past year but fell, just remember YOU BUILT YOURSELF A PALACE WHICH WILL NEVER EVER GET DESTROYED NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!  GEMAR CHASSIMA TOVA!

Beautiful post! Thanks for sharing!

Hi does anyone know of any clean racing games that can be used with the Logitech g920? www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/driving/driving-force-racing-wheel.html has a list of supported games. 

If anyone cares I fell recently after a little over a year clean and now I'm starting over.

I care. It must be painful. Good you are right back on. BeH next streak will be longer. Always get better... Maybe you can learn something from this fall.

Had same experience just now, this gives me encouragement  to continue (not just starting over) as well

What's the question, of course we care! I would just rephrase that, you are not starting over, all the hard work you put in, all the pure and clean days, none of them disappeared just because you fell. They are yours forever and ever, and beH you'll add plenty more in the coming days and years:) Keep trucking!

The thing is I'm not sure myself what I did wrong/ didn't do right that day cuz I was in some weird mood then don't know how to explain it. 

@bisyata Dishmaya,

Yidden like you are a true inspiration. Hashem only tests you cos HE believes in you. Don't dwell on the fall, getting up now may be the catalyst for tremendous groeth much greater than before

Hello does anyone know why Netfree allows Google Bard? Please anwer.

I don't know the answer but I am posting what my Techloq filter says when I try to go into bard. It seems like you have a very good question for which the answer would probably be insufficient. I am not familiar with Netfree and I don't know whether there is a way of blocking it.

BLOCKEDWhy? Locked Web Category: "Mixed Content/Potentially Adult"Matched categories/URL lists:

•  Locked Web Categories: "Mixed Content/Potentially Adult", "Search Engines/Portals"

you can block it if you want. My question is why do they allow it. When I asked they told me the va'ad of bnei brak or something like that makes all their decisions. They do have filtering on it for example when bard says something inappropiate an error message  will appear saying check your internet connection.

I guess if it filters adult content and the like so they aren't concerned. However a person has to be very careful with AI. It doesn't have Daas Torah, it doesn't quote sources, and as TAG writes the biggest problem is that it is a tool that is much more powerful than a search engine and nobody knows where it is heading. The engineers of AI already begged the government to make restrictions on AI, indicating that even they believe it to be dangerous. We will only be able to adequately assess the dangers of AI in a few years from now. If someone decides to use it then at the very least they should know that they are in potential danger and they should handle it with care.

It also blocks a lot of Torah questions for example I inputted "a dvar Torah please" and got the error message I referenced earlier
