Word of the Day, no less: [^]
I shall write the OED to suggest that there are over 13 million people who associate "maunder" with a profound proverbial sense similar to ye olde phrase: "a river unto his people."
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12

It's an old word - it's in my 2003 copy of the printed OED (on page 1085 if you are interested).
I'm pretty sure he knows ...

Quote: You need to explicitly give us permission to email you (It's a CASL thing...)
This keeps showing up as a notification but when I click on the 1 to check it I get a empty notification screen. So... how am I supposed to give "explicit consent" when there is no apparent option in the settings?

You need to ask that here: Bugs and Suggestions[^] if it's a problem with this site - the admins read everything there - and it may be a good idea to tell them which browser and version you are using.

I believe the link should be pointing here:

when I go to that link I see this:
Quote: Why aren't I getting newsletters anymore?
Because of the Canadian Government. Sorry.
It looks like you've already given us consent to send you emails. You're a saint.
I still don't get the newsletters.

They do listen.
I was having a problem with debugging a web app with Firefox. If you didn't shut it down just so and even then randomly it would completely hose my machine. So I submitted a feedback to them and a week later they fixed it with update today. Didn't know I was that important!

RAVEL'S BOLERO, amazing FLASHMOB! (Spain) - YouTube[^]
You can't imagine how much I hate that piece as a drummer/tambores. At least for me, it drives me always crazy to stay concentrated with this "easy piece" about 10 minutes.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

The flashmob I like is the Banco Sabadell flashmob[^]

That was awesome. Don't like lot of classical music but I love that piece.

The invention I most need - and which I suspect would sell well into a big market - is one to make cats throw up inside the litter tray, not randomly in the same room.
Particularly at "Oh my gawd it's early" o'clock.
What's your current invention wish list?

Adamantium armor, heavy auto fire disruptors and class X shields. I want to attack Antares.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

You might want to add an FTL drive to that list: it's a looooooong way away at sublight.

Nope. You can reach Antares only if you have the dimensional portal. I thought you know this old game[^].

The "Orion" series never really grabbed my attention - turn based strategy didn't do it for me.
And the Nineties had only one game for me: the almighty Doom!

I played with real guns at that time. Even today no game can really simulate the feeling of a rifle in your hand, a helmet on your head, sweat heat and sand between your teeth.

Yeah, but at least you didn't face a Cyberdemon with rocket launchers for hands with only 15% health, a chaingun, and only 50 bullets for company?
