One on Kindle one from the library. Sometimes even one I own. All fiction - mostly thrillers/suspense/murder mysteries. Sometimes light sci-fi, like Robin Cook or Douglas E. Richards. Anything from James Patterson, Lee Child, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, Mary Higgins Clark, etc. Use goodreads.com to keep track.

Interesting - mine is set to time.windows.com and it synced about twenty minutes ago.
I don't remember ever changing it ...

There appears to be a DNS entry for nist.time.gov redirecting to time.glb.nist.gov.
Primary domain is nist.gov, not time.gov.
On Windows 7, if I type
net stop w32time
net start w32time in a console with no elevated privileges, I do not get any error (the service just stops and starts as required).
Maybe there are some entries in Windows' logs which could sched a light on what is happening. There also could be a policy preventing you from managing the service.

time.nist.gov is the US url; nist.time.gov is the proper url that the rest of the world uses.
(I hope I do not have to explain the bad joke here).
I'd rather be phishing!

No need to explain the joke, but you definitely needed to point it out as I thought you was being serious until the subtext

Works for me.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

...by some. However, in these times of political turmoil it's nice to be somewhere that we can finally get some peace and quiet from the rabid media frenzy currently going on everywhere else!
aah, peace...

You could just turn off all the social media feeds and, well, the computer, radio, and TV as well.

Does the nuke work outside of Codeproject?

The problem probably isn't the Lounge vs the Soapbox...it's snowflakes getting triggered.
To a broader extent: It used to be that people were taught to be able to handle differing opinions. Another word for this is "tolerance".
Ironically, despite how evolved modern society thinks it is, this has been lost. This is the exact opposite of what political correctness was intended to lead to, but it is how we got here.

Anyone recommend a good make utility?

Thanks for the link, I'll be using it to compile some Z80 assembler code so this might be a bit of overkill.
