Catmeat has now dug all of her kibble out of the bowl and onto the floor in defiance of the new "tip proof" setup.
It was primarily to keep her from spilling the water that we put in it. But now after a couple months of having it she has a new trick. Paw all of the kibble onto the floor.
Bear in mind this is our 4th tip proof setup, her having defeating the rest in unarmed combat.
I should sell her to the people that make it so they can run advertisements.
I don't understand why she has to be so bloody orange.
For the record, I did not pick this cat out. But she has decided I am hers. Now hubby has zero cats, and I have two. His fault. All of this is his fault.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find out what's annoying her and remove it from the environment. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Hi All,
Everyone I sure has at one time or another just quickly knocked together an application to solve a problem. It gets seen and feature creep sets in and before you know it your simple app is a monster of hastily added features bordering on spaghetti code. You end up afraid to change bits incase that throws off something else (in my case timing to the serial port(!) so you wait until everyone has gone home to test the changes they want hasn't caused the system to break. Just done that, appears to work. I am starting to think it's Indiana Jones and the boulder.
So come Tuesday it should software wise work.

I've mentioned Edge's "Read Aloud" function a few months back, saying it's actually tolerable as a text-to-speech reader. I like it 'cuz I can have it read news in the background while I'm doing something else that needs my actual focus.
Lately...it's broken. It'll pause before going through an entire sentence. Sometimes it'll resume on its own, but most of the time it'll just sit there doing absolutely nothing, and I have to click on pause/play for it to resume, and then it might make it through another sentence before it pauses again. Refreshing the page and retrying generally doesn't help.
The shortcut to it is Ctrl-Shift-U. Is anyone seeing this? I find this to be an actually useful feature, and I'd hate to give it up, especially since it's been working fine for months and months.

It seems to be working fine for me.
BTW, I use this to proof-read documents/articles before release. Your ear detects a different set of errors than you eyes.

That's a good idea - except it means booting Edge, and I try to avoid that.

Meh. You know most of it's already running all the time, it's just the browser UI that won't show up until you click its icon...

... and I was reading the "What's new?" page. Spotted the new "Reading mode":
Quote: Simplify your reading experience
You can make it easier to focus on text by reducing distractions from images and videos with Reading mode. You can also adjust the font, text size, background color, and more to what works best for you.
- Go to a site where you plan to do some reading.
- Right-click on the page and select Open in Reading Mode. Text from the site will appear in the side panel.
- Select which reading customization options to apply to the text. If you want to resize the side panel, click and hold the Drag
icon
Could be useful; I'll try it. What page ... Hmmm ... How about "What's new"? It's kinda cluttered ...
Quote: Reading mode isn’t available on this page
Reading mode can't find the main content on this page
Doesn't work on CP either.

You've done it, finally Microsoft. All your effort paid off. You successfully drove me away from using any of your mail clients as of now.
On top of all of the other problems I've had since Microsoft forced Outlook on Windows users just now I was typing an email and the stupid app just crashes. Goes away. Right in the middle of me typing. How professional.
Launch again and the Draft is just empty.
Microsoft clearly does not want me to trust them, or to use their insipid, software shaped garbage like Office.

Unfortunately, TB fails at the first hurdle for me. Trying to access my Office365 email account, it opens a window with an embedded browser to sign in. That embedded browser blocks all cookies, so the login just redirects to an error message. 
On top of that, the last time I tried it, it didn't find any of the folders in my account; only Inbox, Sent, and Trash were shown.

If it's an imap account in TB you have to subscribe to the folders you want to see ( it's a one off thing )

Try SMTP/POP3. I'm sure MS still supports it, even for O365 email. Your credentials would be saved locally, and TB should provide them when logging onto the server and never bother you with them ever again.

The bird works for, used to use Eudora but when Qualcomm made open source dev stopped and T-Bird was the only non-M$ mail client (had a nasty experience with Outlook Express) also it runs on Linux the same!

ThunderBird was too slow for me. I keep most everything and have about 7 accounts. Maybe that had something to do with it.
I purchased Em Client and it has worked great for about a year or so now.
