Yep, that's the solution.

Federation sent = Letter pool
flying = anagram indication
out the window = definition

What computer goodies did you all get for Christmas?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

The kids got iPads.
My wife and I both got iPhone 14's.
My son got an Apple Watch.

A new SSD for my Desktop. Current is 120GB, new is 480GB. Windows takes up most of the current drive. Just procrastinating cloning the drive and installing the new one.
Also got myself a new keyboard as my old one was literally falling apart (plastic key spring widgets were breaking and jamming up things, and causing the keys to fall off).
On a side note, my Uncle sent my mom a box of Captain Crunch as a present, as he has done the last two years as well. My mom used to love it as a kid. He also sent her some Liquor filled Belgian chocolates.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Am replacing my 🐷 of a machine AMD A6-9225 w/ a Dell OptiPlex 7040 i7-6700 + 16G DDR4 + PCIe SSD VROOM VROOM. Also considering treating myself to Perixx ERGO Mechanical Keyboard - PERIBOARD-535 Full-Size as I have never owned a mechanical keyboard. I find I enjoy the occasional clickity click the current Perixx PERIBOARD 512 provides despite the membrane switches though the macro feature of the 535 is not as I prefer.

I got myself a new keyboard, and a memory upgrade for my laptop.
(I wish I could get a memory upgrade for myself  )

I wonder what Saint Nicholas of Myra would have bought for himself to celebrate the joy of Christmas, if he were living today.

Saint Nicholas - Wikipedia
Quote: Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, children, brewers, pawnbrokers, unmarried people, and students in various cities and countries around Europe.
IOW, a Christmas celebration in the spirit of St. Nicholas would involve going into debt to purchase gifts for children and booze for the adults.
Sounds much like the modern version of Christmas.

I got myself a new transformer for my door bell (Santason has not delivered it yet).
Dan, your comment is, in general, a misconception and to some insulting.
But, I know you were just being facetious. All OK.

Nothing...
too many other things with higher priority in the list

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

Not specifically computer but they will go on top of my monitors. My mother got me these https://mcphee.com/products/itty-bitty-gargoyles[^]
Plus 5 pounds of Atomic Fireball Candy.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

A winter beanie with integrated led headlamp for taking my dog potty in the dark in the big woods.
It's usb rechargeable. 
Everything else were seat covers and tools.

I got political here, even though I didn't mean to going in. I will no longer be responding on the Bomb Cyclone thread.
I'm posting this top level, because there were several people involved, and the apology is a general one directed at the forum.
 I never meant to go there.

Well, to put things into perspective, I was part of the straw that broke the camel's back (Soapbox). I got banned for 2 weeks, and the Soapbox was removed permanently.
I don't think you are going to get banned, and I don't think Chris will remove the Lounge.

Some of us liked the Soapbox too much. I am proud to say, I remember the CP Soapbox.
I see CP as one of the original sites that had up and down voting for threads; I value the peer pressure approach, more than the other approaches. I tried tweeting at Elon to make down voting a thing, but he is too worried about Tesla and paying for Twitter now.

Speaking of down voting gamedev.net had that in the early days. Unlike CP downvoting which has no long term effects, GD.net downvoting had an effect on user rating. As result of comments made in various threads some users ended up having negative user rating. Because of the resulting stigma downvoting was dropped.
(I’m aware CP does have an user general rating too but the CP General rating computation formula is so complicated that upvotes and downvotes are probably not even noticeable in the final figure)

I thought all the participants backed off appropriately after the timely reminder by OxO1AA yesterday.

Don't worry too much. I think a lot of us have already fallen into this trap.
But you are really great! That's because very few of us (myself included) realized it and then had the size to apologize for it
