      Thanks for checking!
      Is that the new Notepad? How strange, was Notepad closed before the Back to PrgLnch button was clicked?
      Yes, there’s a bunch of weird stuff going on with it, will update when back on W11. πŸ™‚

        Down deep in dungeons, the un-pausing of the game while in inventory gets one’s goat after a while, mainly due to the fiddly nature of full inventories. Fortunately, it can be paused, by copying over the saves to the multiplayer save directory, and setting up a solo MP game, as it were.
        Fine, save for a couple of hiccups mentioned over at GOG. πŸ˜›

          Has happened here on the odd occasion as well, usually turns out to be something awry with the switches.
          The stain is odd, rust should generally rinse out – always rinse in cold here. For the existence of rust in the HWS or even the pipes, no issue with water for the bath or shower? How old is the hot water tank btw?

            As well as the Frigidaire, this establishment sports a fine and trusty Simpson Delta 402 washing machine.

            The top image is how it looks now, the bottom, way back. Acquired in 1990, it has to date accommodated many a load without so much as a sneeze, notwithstanding the horrendous number of dirty hankies it has suffered unto. The only issue to date was the replacement of the broken lint catcher some years ago. Now, the drain pipe having caught the morning sun for many years, has developed small splits, so consequently it is held together by a few winds of handy gaffer tape. πŸ™‚

              In toying with the idea of peeping under the hood re the caching system used, typed in a block of text as a reply to some topic without posting it. To determine if it was cached, found no updates at all when filtering Stearn in ChromeCacheView (sorting LastAccessed). If the test was not setup correctly, might be a question for the WP or SO forums.

                  Great thanks. All the mht pages (even tried mhtml) displayed blank in Edge, they do show when using synchro view in Alleycode, a handy little program if there ever was one. πŸ™‚

                      Sounds good, however as all topics have been read, except for the extra post, there is no way of telling, unless you post 2 replies. Hey, might as well try that now…

                        Oh, I get it, there’s a condensate pump that feeds a holding tank. A future use for such tanks might be for cisterns in the complex, guaranteeing the tank will never overflow! πŸ˜›
                        And the air purifier in use, is that connected to the central H/A in any way.
                        What a pest, was that your choice of ‘fridge? The same situation here with the bar fridge in the garage. There is a table laden with goodies just to the right, which won’t allow the door enough to remove the drip trays. That area wants a makeover!
                        It’s a bit scary, as a dry El Nino is forecast for the coming summer. πŸ™

                          Nice, there’s a nice scene in Apocalypse Now with that playing.
                          Heard of Sam Sklair? Plays the flute, clarinet, and a host of other instruments. Here’s a nice one:

                          He also created some synth-y stuff in the eighties like Touch Tone Keyboard in The MicroChip Revolution. That’s the playlist, where the track names are instantly recognizable.
                          Also contributed to a combo album made with Claude Larson, where can be heard things like Computer Toys.

                            Ah, the 1988 original. The 2019 film is also a slasher. πŸ™‚
                            Descent 2 played out the way one expected it, provided they had seen Descent 1, thus not so much dramatic tension, and no variation from the effects of pathos. πŸ™
                            Also streaming Zola, it’s lively, and rather risque. πŸ™‚

                              We had people down here making kayaks a while back, things seem to dry up, along with the rivers. πŸ˜›
                              Huh, is that an emergency relief valve – don’t have any thing like that on the Cora which has now been installed btw. Yours is a split unit, so the valve is on the outside component?
                              Not planning to use any specialised filters for it yet, but options are open, the real point of the A/C is for the electricals like the Synology, and the poor 30 year old Frigidaire Accent Frost Proof 285.
                              The following was copied from the state weather channel, we have just dodged a catastrophe!

                                Rereleasing this old-timer is a blast from the past. Don’t remember playing the original, (certainly do recall the amazing sound effects in Bane of the Cosmic Forge.)

                                    Seen a bit of scoffing at QT on SO threads and others, it’s not all that bad is it?
                                    Unity is introducing a surcharge on distribution of their runtime libraries on end-user machines. Without any sweeteners, no doubt comes across like a kick in the guts first and foremost to their pro and enterprise clients.

                                      He updated the plugin, but only for an unrelated minor enhancement. As the job for PipDisqus is a big one, it looks like a bit of a wait here, so the plugin has been disabled for the time being.
                                      Had a gander at the alternatives, the native (cross-platform) Disqus is possibly the best, however completely spooked by their pre-installation instruction of backing up the site before proceeding. They sometimes answer queries on the plugin support page, however it seems a lot of subscribers have progressed to out-of-joint with various issues, for example wobbles on performance and mobile platforms perhaps addressed in blogs like here.
                                      There are others which include stuff we may not use, e.g. Popular Posts is a great one that comes with the caveat of extra requirements.
                                      Conditional Load is another plugin which offers great features for the Pro edition, it is a fact the lifetime edition is worth serious consideration if and when it will be offered for around a tenth of the current asking price. They don’t respond much to their support channels either.

                                        Yep! Does Teams come up at all on the laptop over there? We also want the Jokes and Disney, among the other quaint rantings.
                                        Apart from the purple spider webs mentioned on today’s Science Show, all you need to know about consciousness is this Maximum Cause Effect Structure:

                                          Very interesting! Are the English DBZK episodes dubbed or subtitled – info not often easy to get via Googling or even on Wikipedia.
                                          The Descent is rather depressing, saying that is actually a spoiler if you intend to watch it, so belated spoiler alert!
                                          Streaming Noughts + Crosses at the moment – nicely put together and presented with a nicely paced plot, you won’t be bowled over by the superfluity of incisive dialogue though.
                                          Started to really getting into The Control Room, when it ended all of a sudden after three episodes. Funny these days how we are all getting acclimatised to 6 or more episodes in a said series. πŸ˜›
                                          Oh, the dialogue in Boiling Point is very much in the idiom of the theatre of the stage, and therefore quite something else, even if I didn’t quite get all of it. Blame the lack of subtitles, my hearing, sound recording, restaurant hubbub, and the poor acoustics – after all, it was a real restaurant. Recommended.

Meanwhile, the Gramps Mailing List continues to toss up a varied array of goodies, such as this site using an unnamed generator, and this site generated with Gramps. πŸ™‚
