"It just came to me."
An epiphany is an experience of sudden and striking realization.
Generally the term is used to describe scientific breakthrough,
religious or philosophical discoveries, but it can apply in any
situation.
a usually sudden manifestation or perception of
the essential nature or meaning of something
an intuitive grasp of reality through something
(as an event) usually simple and striking
an illuminating discovery, realization, or
disclosure : a revealing scene or moment.
Oonj:
One has an epiphany in a dream, during meditation, in a calm moment,
or maybe when they are drunk or loaded. One can't make it happen.
It's like a gift. When it happens, the truth of it is undeniable.
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
I've given up looking for the meaning of life. Must be time for my nap.

I just had an epiphany about this post. That it has limited usefulness

You can disagree without being disagreeable.
~Ruth Badder Ginsberg
No, I don't know if she originated that advice ...
Perhaps it is ancient, going back to Shakespeare.
Mainly, it's sensible.
We want to get our point across. We are far more
likely to succeed if we don't offend our listeners.

If we saw a president like Trump in a movie, we wouldn't believe it.
Indeed, we'd be insulted & say, "Was that supposed to be a comedy?"

I've had it with Bitdefender antivirus.
It's fast, but its billing continues after it's paid,
& when I surf certain money sites, it pops up on every click.
If you are happy with your Antivirus software, please share.

I've used Avast before. It's a great free anti-virus. My only issue with it is the hoops you have to jump through to keep it free after a year or so. I've used AVG Free for about 15 years and I have no complaints.
No Anti-virus will catch everything though. If you feel like you've made a mistake and something nasty is on your computer, download a free trial of Malware-bytes anti-malware and run that a few times along with your anti-virus scan and that will take care of 99% of the viruses out there.
It gets trickier after that, if you still have problems. If you have the free time and a bit of computer knowledge you can usually research the issue and either figure it out yourself or find a forum or two with people who are happy to help you out. This is the time when you have to ask yourself if it's worth your time, or if you should call up your niece or nephew who's a computer wiz or take it to the Geek Squad.
Back in the day I would just do a complete wipe of the hard drive and re-install Windows since it would never seem to properly recover after a bad virus attack. Windows has come a long way now though and shakes off the sickness pretty easily once you've pinpointed and removed it. Nobody should actually pay for an anti-virus program though with the great free options out there. This is especially true now that Windows 10 is free and worst case scenario you can just wipe the drive and re-install it.
Hope that helps.

Norton 365 is what I use. Norton doesn't crash or have issues like it used to. I had bit defender for a brief period of time. I dumped it before my subscription lapsed. And while Kaspersky is good, the Russian government has agents within. That means they have access to anyone they wish.

Careful with Kaspersky. Wouldn't want to let Putin know about your weekly budget spreadsheet or your too do list.
The Queen of England might find out about that porn site you're ashamed of going to or that you didn't pay for that Tool album you got off Napster back in 1999 too since it's based in Moscow and owned by holding company in the UK.
