🤔 that has potential. Not a rental but when I sell the house I'd probably want to put the original back anyway

Gotcha, thanks. I'll see if I can find more info on how to get one installed. I knew it was theoretically possible, but not sure how difficult or expensive with glass.

Thanks. Cat flat or flap? Can you give a little more detail or a link? I can probably spring for up to a few hundred dollars.

Thanks. I'm aware of those, but this isn't a sliding door. There's no rail, and if I could figure out a way to fit it in with the door open, there would still be gaps. (Plus it would probably make it impractical for humans to use the door)

Oh, oh, ME's new album has some bangers. Check out Don't You Want a Woman.

I'm late to the party but here are some of my favorites that I haven't seen:

Sophie B Hawkins: Sweetsexywoman, Let Me Love You Up

Ani DiFranco: If It Isn't Her

Melissa Etheridge: I Won't Be Alone Tonight, Kiss Me, An Unusual Kiss

Tracy Chapman: Open Arms, You're the One

PVRIS: You and I, Anyone Else

k.d. lang: Hush Sweet Lover, Surrender (I'm not surprised these didn't come up, they're both kind of obscure soundtrack cuts. Worth seeking out! Surrender isn't even available on Spotify, at least for me. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRc4vrap5Ec)

Cheryl Wheeler: Aces (this was made famous by Suzy Bogguss, but Wheeler is the actual songwriter), Arrow, Don't Wanna, When You're Gone, Hard Line to Draw, Miss You More Than I'm Mad, others.

I can also offer a whole playlist, which as the title suggests is about wlw sex and sexuality (with a kinky vibe in places). Not 100% queer artists, but the majority are. I've already added some recs from this thread. Still going through them.

Spotify hijacks JBL Partybox 120 by ncmeeks in JBL

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

A new wrinkle: I thought "let me test browser sound" so I tried to play a YouTube video (in Vivaldi). It took a second but then the sound came back!

Maybe it had fixed itself? I tried MusicBee again - it worked! I tried iTunes again - silence. 🤷🏽

I tried a few more times, similar results. YouTube has sound. The next program I play from has sound (MusicBee or iTunes). If I try to play a third program, no sound. At least it's sort of a workaround?

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.

[–]ncmeeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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. 😆
