    I'm very glad you weren't hurt, @barkfunklerbunk.

    Or citric acid, if you're feel really adventurous.

    I can't imagine why anyone would describe snickerdoodles as tangy. They're just plain sugar cookies with cinnamon-sugar on top.

    It does look as though he might be drooling a little, doesn't it?

    I have very daringly removed the airflow ring from my Gate. It doesn't seem to make a damn bit of difference, but now there's one less thing to fiddle with, which is always good.

    I'd like one that would do that and then change the wick/coil for me.

    I hope her head is better. A migraine doesn't make for a very happy anniversary;

    Yep, that's the next step, possibly.

    The Inspiron my mother was using isn't connecting to the internet today, so the arrival of this new one is eagerly awaited. My mother said this morning that she's looking forward to learning how to use it, which was nice to hear. I just wish she'd given me the go-ahead to buy it a little sooner...

    At this point, I'm just hoping the speakers on the new laptop are good enough, so my mother can simply watch everything on it. It's been ordered, so in a few days I'll find out.

    Because sometimes you get bored with what you're watching and want to poke around somewhere else for a while and then pop back into the show. It would be nice to be able to do that by pausing rather than having to stop and then restart the cast.

    Thank you, but I already know how to cast videos in Google Drive using Chromecast. What I can't determine is whether it will be possible to surf the web while doing so, as it is when casting from so-called Chrome-enabled sites. Sorry if that came off as cranky. It isn't meant to. I'm just worn...

    Yes. Twenty-nine bucks. I'm trying to talking my mother into getting one. '

    The old laptop is wonky and on its last legs. Windows 11 shouldn't be too hard for her--it seems to be not all that different from Windows 10--and she mastered a Firestick, so I think she'll be able to handle a Chromecast okay. (The reason for switching from the Firestick to Chromecast is that...

    Honestly, I'm just hoping the laptop--when she finally agrees to let me get the thing for her--has good enough speakers that she'll be happy watching shows on it. The laptop screen will be barely smaller than her television's, and she'll be able to set it right next to her, so it'll actually be...

    This is nifty to learn. I'd love to see those boxes.

    Not a bad idea, but I'm having a hard enough time getting her to stomach buying a much-needed new laptop; she'll never consent to coughing up for a new television while her ancient, tiny flat screen still works.

    How did you finish things without sandpaper? Pumice?

    It makes sense, but unfortunately it tells me something I already knew: you can multitask if you're casting what is called a Chrome enabled site. Unfortunately, what I can't confirm is whether Google Drive is Chrome enabled, so that one can cast a video in one's GD from one tab and continue to...

    Did you by any chance make a note of the sites where you read this? I'd like to study them. I'm especially interested in this bit of your post: "Once you are casting video to a device you can then browse any of your open tabs in a web browser without interruption to whatever video(s) you are...
