CRVL Forum down for a few days

It didn't ring true. No one cares enough about some little site like that to expend any resources, short of posting a nasty.

Simplest explanation is some IT thingy was neglected and, instead of coming clean, he made up an "I'm a victim" story.

He's a warrior suffering abuse. While fighting for us. Sorta thing.

I concur (with both you and GotSmart).
I was just trying to be systematic, and try to identify how they could support their claim, so as not to come across as, um, of "questionable" reliability.
DDoS as a service is a possibility, and can be done for barely two digits. It's become depressingly cheap.
It's also easy to prove, which they haven't.


There were two Bob YT reviews during the downtime, that perfectly demonstrate what you all have been saying. One was terrible, one excellent.

The terrible "review" was of a prepper/scam long-term food "product", where he did a whole lot of hand-waving and didn't do any tasting or comparison to cheaper alternatives.
All those "kits" have similar issues, in my experience/experiments: they're ridiculously expensive, very limited menus (with suspiciously identical overlap), relatively poor taste quality compared to genuine premium competitors (Mountain House), and the vendors lack "history". They're marketing driven.
When I did my own experiments, I ate at least one meal per day for over a month, and compared them to Knorr's and other readily available inexpensive off-the-shelf brands.
Shelf stable foods are one of my push button issues. Prepare to hear more, in cooking.

The useful one was a review of a specific model and general discussion of the advantages of choosing a dual fuel flat cook stove.
Based on his advice, I bought one, though not the one he reviewed.
