      Interesting list, like to play Wordle sometime. ๐Ÿ™‚
      Sorry, missed something, or some kind of clue has now cropped up on their web page. There is at top “as seen in … BIRDSBESAFEยฎ CAT COLLAR COVER” and this comes up as the first image:
      NYT logo
      The mystery continues, and definitely looks like crossed wires. ๐Ÿ˜›

        Yes, like big mice and big mats as well, however the pebble goes nicely with the compact keyboard. ๐Ÿ™‚
        Oh dear, here we go again. Last night was vacuuming around this chassis and might have knocked something, as the screen was frozen when I got to it some time later. So the above problems with rig either relate to a loose connection of something in the circuitry, or a power irregularity when the vacuum was turned on from the same 4 socket power terminal. Yes, it’s an original VAX 121 (1990) which uses a fair bit of juice, so might have upset something. Nothing in the logs as usual.
        Newish error came up in the boot, wonder if they can help at all?

          Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚
          Come to think of it, it’s probably a better idea to get used to the idea of actually making use of the functionality of the WordPress media library, and changing the files and their links to point to /wp-content/uploads/folder, just for consistency, if nothing else. ๐Ÿ˜›

            Oops, didn’t refresh the page, in any case the edit there looks to have turned out to be rather redundant. ๐Ÿ˜›
            Forgot clean about the LI, thanks. ๐Ÿ™‚
            Still, dispensing with the LI button, and replacing the UL button with something like this code might be more usable:

            <ul> <li>Unordered item</li> <li>Unordered item</li> <li>Unordered item</li> <li>Unordered item</li> </ul>

            The above-mentioned nesting hopefully works a bit better with something like this:

            
            <ul>
            	<li
            		<ul>
            		<li>Unordered item</li>
            		<li>Unordered item</li>
            		<li>Unordered item</li>
            		<li>Unordered item</li>
            		</ul>
            	>
            </ul>

                Sounds like it got seriously lost. Have a job for it?

                  She is very beautiful – and it almost seemed that in any minute she was going to fly off into the moonrise!
                  Why did they call TikTok TikTok? Some of the answers on that page mention Tik-Tok of Oz and the Sladek novel, most mention clocks, but none mentioned the following:

                  Quite nice, her cover of Betcha by Golly, Wow was fairly ordinary though.

                    Saw Natural Born Killers the other day, if you like a discordant cacophony of loud and scream, this is the movie for you. Hints of Pulp fiction in the sets and transitions, garish, violent and memorable, certainly no cure for migraine. Over here there is no urgency in adding it to the watch-again list. ๐Ÿ™‚
                    Coming to the end of Vigil, it’s credible, thought provoking, and tense. That article mentioned reported inaccuracies in dialogue and plot, which didn’t cause to much worry here either. ๐Ÿ™‚

                      The wiping of the post cache isn’t supposed to happen at all when clicking the back button. Didn’t happen prior to June IIRC, so something must have happened to trigger the error handling in Cache Enabler- might have to query them.
                      Post content is also wiped when this error crops up (also see private sandbox thread):

                      Error

                        Found a file in oldsite/files by the name phpinfo.php dated 02/18/2022 containing the following:

                        <?php
                        phpinfo();
                        ?>

                        Very old, and very empty, don’t know how it got there, so canned it!
                        Created a directory for images here, anything you want can be ftp’d into it, and linked. Haven’t considered an http listing for it at this stage, so the directory itself is currently 403. ๐Ÿ™‚
                        Edit: We haven’t used the media library for integration into posting – perhaps something for later consideration.
                        Edit2: Also moved the testing thread to the sandbox, hope that’s okay. ๐Ÿ™‚ However, the discussion page is not fully updated, so lodged an enquiry.
                        Also updated the sticky with Emoji info. ๐Ÿ˜Š Anything else you think should go in there?

                          Had any experience with kmail-lists at KDE? Years ago I purchased some cat collars from BirdsBeSafe which were fine, (the cat back then always found a way to offload them).
                          Just got an email update from their site about some new designs (genuine), funny they still had this email address as there is no record here of an account registered with them. In case there was, the “Forgot Password” never triggered the activation email. So clicked the “unsubscribe” button, and it got me this!
                          Love the font!
                          Although the font is great, it seems something got mixed up! ๐Ÿ˜›

                            Things are looking good, with recent changes relating to this reply, the grey background in the STEARNVAULT HOME header in the main page has “returned”. Similarly with the BOB MARLEY header in profiles.

                              Thought it might be an idea to continue on from this thread, as I pretty well much messed it up from the outset. ๐Ÿ˜›
                              Regarding the headers H1 and H2 and unset, the Vault of Stearn is actually the tagline in the Site Identity section found in the Customize Site button at top. Not sure if it is BuddyPress or BBPress grabbing it.
                              Perhaps the answer still resides in the CSS – does this topic help any?

                                Ensuring an orbital stays in its initial position is challenge enough, so adding/reducing mass to it may add further complications. Then there are other factors to consider like solar storms, meteors, interstellar radiation, and our very own space debris. To produce anything organic on it, temperature control is required, and is a challenge even on a “primitive” model such as the space station.
                                The depressing news on the space elevator is from Wikipedia:

                                Available materials are not strong and light enough to make an Earth space elevator practical. Some sources expect that future advances in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could lead to a practical design. Other sources believe that CNTs will never be strong enough. Possible future alternatives include boron nitride nanotubes, diamond nanothreads and macro-scale single crystal graphene.

                                Having everything hydrogen fuelled for energy and heat would reduce waste a bit, the problem of waste disposal/exchange is, and will ever be costly and involved. Surely the garbots of tomorrow can come to the party as well! ๐Ÿ™‚

                                  Sorry, meant the string “<h3&gt;Header3&lt;/h3>” is expected to transform to
                                   

                                  Header3

                                  And not:

                                  “<h3>Header3</h3>”

                                  Edit: What a silly dumbo, that’s the expected behaviour as they are just the escaped characters. ๐Ÿ˜›

                                  In any case, the sandbox/test activity will help as H1 and H2 don’t seem to be working at all. For example “<h2>Header2</h2>” gives nothing below:

                                  Header2

                                    Can’t believe there were xkcd comics that had to be explained. No matter for concern anymore as we have them all explained (mostly). ๐Ÿ˜›
                                    Deviant Art has this for an idea. This one rather pretty! ๐Ÿ™‚
                                    Just plug into the caldera and play! Another one is to relocate large scale high energy consuming manufacturing outfits to the volcano, set up a thermoelectric generator, and ring the factory bells. ๐Ÿ™‚

                                      Occasionally, (2 or 3 times out of 10) there is a message at startup:

                                      Missed the thin brown ribbon below the Teams title bar:

                                      We ran into a problem. Reconnecting. Please refresh now

                                      Clicking Refresh now fixes it. Did that ever come up your end as well?

                                          Here’s another amazing trick the ribbon notifications pull, you go to an updated topic to view the post, and the next day, there’s a bright and shiny notification for the very same post! Something like “I know of your impatience to read the post, and because of it, I won’t sent a notification until you have found the time to repent your hasty action!”
