Here's a tip for all those who need to determine to whom the REPLY of an OP's thread has been made, in order to bolster the coherence of the conversation by making sure they are timely and ultimately targeting the correct sub-text:
Fire up any expensive (+$5000.00 standalone) application which is no longer supported by the manufacturer because they've opted to move forward using the subscription model of licensing ... and you have it's shortcut persisting on your desktop because you're still contemplating psychotherapy ... move the frame of the app to the margin where the CP thread dog-ear icon under question appears ... now, using this expensive app frame as a vertical ruler, scroll (on the CP Lounge page under scrutiny) using the mouse and the scroll-bar margin right ... and the determination will become unremarkably irredeemable.
I know, it's probably a TIP and not a Lounge post. But it looks like most of you have posted Monday's posts on Thursday; today.

So this is what happens after you try to simply walk into Mordor...
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.

I think that was a "random luck" achievement, and now they can't keep the quality after changing to Chromium in the inner structure.
The easiest (and probably the reason that will bring less laughs / anger) is to hide the facts and just end support publicly saying "feature" or "planned deadline"

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

No, it used to argue with me about that as well ... "Are you sure you want to close all nnn tabs?"
Yes. I am. I didn't want them anyway, it's just your lack of ad blockers that opened the damn things in the first place...
It is tolerable for downloading Chrome however (though it moans about it every time I do).

I was also using Edge to read ePub books.
Now, what is the alternative (preferably free)?
|
|
|
|

I never read books on the PC, always on a phone or tablet and use FBReader for android, can't recommend it highly enough.
Calibre as the library, dropbox the storage and FBReader on the devices works perfectly and I share the dropbox location with my kids.

Oh, I see it now... over there in the box labelled "things that are the answer to today's CCC".
Well done, your turn on Monday.

Wish I could remember who said that - probably the late, great DNA. "Last chance to see" perhaps?

Hi All,
There was a leak & then in fixing it the contractors 'naffed' up the repair meaning the coffee machines have no ability to make coffee. Well due the 'new' coffee machines the 'elf & Safety did away with Kettels as we could get hot water for tea from the coffee machines and the boiling water taps (they have never worked!). So now I am trying to where the nearest place I can get a coffee from is and 'joy' it is raining... Life Sucks for me today, but it is Friday !![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

Dial 999 / 911 (Either will work).
When they ask "Which service do you require?" reply "Caffeine" and they will transfer you to the nearest ECS*. For Coffee and Donuts, reply "Police".
* Emergency Coffee Supplier. (Or a branch of Starbucks, whichever is closer.)

- Put a cup of water on CPU.
- Disable all safety measures on your computer.
- Run resource heavy program.
- Wait for water to boil.
- Ask IT guys for a new computer.
Don't ruin these steps by bringing in reality and sense

You may joke but in the past when I was working on RFID the most effective way to cool the reader was to place a mug of cold coffee on it!

I reckon it is time to relive past for you. Nostalgia.

Same trouble here with the new coffee machine, after a few cups of coffee it gave up with all kind of errors on the display. Nobody knew how to clean it, as there was no user manual only an unreadable installation manual. So after a week it was goodbye to that machine and a new one was purchased.
A tip: always keep some instant coffee at hand

You mean the coffee like substance that you mix with hotwater?

Do I detect a bit of irony in your question?

Just a touch!

This movie script reflects the situation accurately 
"...
You know, in my day, when you wanted to make a cup of coffee you just had to boil the water and strain the grinds. Now it seems like you need a PhD. Dad, you have a PhD. That's a juicer.
