I have learned to live with Thunderbird and it is not too bad. If you take the trouble, you can make it look and work almost like Windows Live Mail or Outlook Express. I just wish there was a way to turn off the endless pointless updates.

...Oh, and before TB I tried whatever Microsoft is shipping with Windows 10 as a mail client. No matter how bad, how crappy, how unintuitive they make TB, they can never make it anywhere close to as bad as Microsoft's mail whatever-it-is.

Bring back Windows Live Mail - it was positively professional compared to the oversimplified current Windows 10 mail client.

Clear your cookies - it's working just fine

That's weird... cleared them, still not working, tried on 2 different PC's, and MS edge browser. Same result in all cases.

[Edit] Works on the iphone though! (on same network).

I was getting that emptyish page until I turned off my ad blocker (uBlock Origin) and then it seemed to work ok.

Aramex.

Sold an item on TM. Buyer requested that I arrange the courier through TM. Only option was Aramex.

Booked, paid for and packaged awaiting pickup on Tuesday between 8am and 5pm.

Wednesday morning it's still here.

I checked the tracking - it states "Package not picked up - package not ready".

I was home all day. I have a camera on the driveway and work from my desk at the front of the house (incidentally, at a ranch slider that was wide open due to the heat). To get to the package that "was not ready for pick up" the courier would have had to come up to the gate next to my open ranch slider.

I don't know why this annoys me so much, i brought a bottle of shampoo and on the bottle it says Deep Sea Extract, what the hell is deep sea extract? (is it just salty water they have dredged up from the deep ocean floor ? what would you possibly extract out of the deep sea other than salty water?, why would you put it in a shampoo bottle, how will this make my hair clean). So many stupid annoying questions, Some marketing idiot has put a stupid worthless bunch of words on a shampoo bottle has infuriated me .

Might as well say Blue Sky Extract, Deep Space Extract.....arrghhhhhhhhhhhhh 🤬

As would I.

I was instructed by the buyer (who was paying for the service) to book via TM and that was the only option. I put it on them.

I had so many problems with them last year that I decided never to deal with them again, if I could so choose. I am learning my lesson.

It's probably Cuttlefish scrotum extract or Giant Squid anal gland extract. They don't want to say, because nobody will buy it.

I kept getting whiffs of putrid yuk at the sink when I let the water out. Mr E checked the drains in case of blockage, all good. Smell persisted and got worse. 'You’re imagining it,' he says. Rolls eyes and suggests am always finding problems, tu,tut. I figured maybe the compost bin? Scrub, scrub, bleach. Still smelly. Saturday decided to pull everything in roller bins out from under the sink to find water everywhere. The entire waste pipe had come out of the bottom bit and so for weeks the water was pouring straight out to below the bottom shelf and soaking through the wheat bix floor.

I'm not actually sure where we'll find the cash for that one. It's been an expensive few months. I doubt we'll be able to claim insurance, with the tens of thousands they'll be paying out for water damage throughout the rest of the house. I'd say they'll find any reason not to accept a further claim like that.

@Eva888. That sounds quite stink! Reminds me of years ago someone I know well had a power cut and left face cloth in sink. Long story short. Power comes back on (electric water pump) and I go into bathroom to discover a water fall going over each drawer that were open. Flooded half the house.

@Handsomedan. Well I'm hoping the damage is limited to the floor area about 70cm in a triangle shape and hasn't gone under the shower floor. Might take a look under the floor when I get my spider courage up!

Yup trying the insurance angle on, but already I'm getting the big speech about gradual damage. Needs to be from a burst pipe etc and even then they might only offer you a $2k partial payout.

I get the feeling cheap tradies have done all the work.

Apparently they are "minerals" - nicely non-specific.

Apparently it's that time of the week again, as Visual Studio is once again telling me what's new in version 17.3 when I'm trying to open a project. Why it insists on telling me this stuff every week is beyond me...

My assumption would be salt as an exfoliant in place of plastic microbeads. Calling it a Sea Mineral just makes it sound fancy.

Probably not, since it is probably dissolved in the product. More likely it doesn't do anything but sound good, especially given it already has Sodium Chloride in the ingredients list. I doubt the trace amounts of other bits and pieces do much.

Simple:

Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean

That's what it is.
