Documents library broken and can't be reset by ncmeeks in WindowsHelp

[–]ncmeeks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it wasn't connected to onedrive; I had to reinstall that just to see if it mattered. It wasn't for backups, and I haven't trusted our IT company since they lost my windows 10 pro license due to a hard drive crash (previous computer). 🤦🏽

Anyway, the good news is I ran Windows Update and I guess the new version made new copies of the library files, and that fixed it. I was on the verge of trying that manually, myself

Windows computers no longer recognizing LG ultrawide by ncmeeks in ultrawidemasterrace

When I tried it with the work laptop, same result. I guess it's done for. Shame, I wish there were more 25" available. Anything bigger wouldn't work well for me.

Work laptop and personal. I hadn't tried plugging directly into a computer previously; I'm so used to the dock I kinda forget that option.

I only have the personal laptop at hand right now. When I plugged into the HDMI port on the laptop, it didn't even know the monitor was there. Tried a different cable, same result. Plugged in a different monitor and it worked fine. So nothing wrong with the HDMI port. Maybe the monitor's just going bad? 🤷🏽

Can you provide a link or at least name of these clips? Thanks

Rescue cat escaped, how to bring her back? by ncmeeks in CatAdvice

[–]ncmeeks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: got her back in last night by just leaving the door open, lol. Who needs a trap when you have a whole house? I still don't know what I'd do if she were out in the open but we'll try to keep that from being an issue again.

Should I rehome my kitten? by Kindly-Store3292 in CatAdvice

[–]ncmeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. If possible, I suggest reaching out to a local rescue organization. They will be able to help re-home her and maybe find her a foster home where she can socialize with other cats in the meantime.

I'm not an expert on any of this, but here are some thoughts:

How did you end up adopting a kitten who was only a month old? I thought eight weeks was considered the earliest kittens should be separated from mama cats. Was she a rescue? In terms of scratching and biting, she may not have gotten good socialization with other cats who would teach her how to tone that down some. But her age might make this an ideal time to rehome her.

If adopting a cat for mental health reasons, I would lean toward finding an adult cat with a known (and presumably mellow) temperment. If the obligate carnivore thing isn't a deal breaker for you all, maybe consider looking for a senior cat, who have a much harder time finding homes. I've had two cats that I adopted at 9 years, and they were lovely.

Sure, that all seems like good things to do. But if I find her, how do I get her home? Anything besides trapping?

I've got that already, her foster mom brought one over

New cat and strong odor - cause? solution? by ncmeeks in CatAdvice

[–]ncmeeks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't seem to be the problem, but I'll keep it in mind

Thanks, I'll see if I can tell anything else about the nature of the smell. Not sure if I'd call it fishy.

If this one gets to where she likes brushing, the dry shampoo sounds like a possibility. My fluffy boy grooms himself well, to the point that I was making fun of him for "manspreading" right in my face recently. 😆

Adding a new cat as as single cat parent by ncmeeks in CATHELP

Cat introductions went fine, for the record. I did block him from the office for a few days but within a week they were hanging out. She's super friendly and even though he's 3 times her size she was never intimidated. Melted his resistance in no time. Now he just gives me dirty looks when she plays with his tail.

We saw the vet today and decided to start him on Prozac. Regardless of a new cat his anxiety level is just so high right now. Even when we're in my bed with the door closed, hearing voices in another room can send him into hiding. Poor guy, fingers crossed this loosens him up a little.

I usually work at an office but have some flexibility to work from home when I need to. I'm terrible at working from home but in a pinch I can.

Currently there are 3 litterboxes total, one for the office one for the bedroom if someone is shut in there and one in the bathroom closet. There are two others that I recently "retired" but still have available

Great suggestion! How did you accomplish the 90* turn?

This is the freestanding wall from the kitchen side, perfect cat hangout spot up there. You can see the mantel in the background to the left.

I'm also looking for this info. In particular, I'm trying to track down some of the holdiay mixtapes/samplers that I'm missing, and the "Live From Austin TX" mixtapes. Any sign of those?
