~ just chemistry dancing
these atoms that wandered into being me,
appearing to stay together for a reason
that apparently involves genes, and sex,
more than any metaphysical hypothetical:
here it is, a language of all-dried-out
eviscerating the moist wrinkles of love
as it celebrates its own surgical skill
so, what poets and fools get up or down
to, sweeping the reality of atoms under
fantastically patterned rugs of fantasy;
what the frolics of oohs, aahs, and ohs,
that murmuring choirs of flesh on flesh
chant to embellish the primate guttural:
stripped naked's just chemistry dancing

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

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
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

"Sex" and "all-dried-out" don't rhyme.

I rather like that.
Reminds me a little bit of when Kurt Vonnegut said that if we could only view each other as walking test-tubes we'd all understand each other a whole lot better. I think it was in Breakfast of Champions.
Slogans aren't solutions.

While I am not into that poetry thing, I appreciate the attempt of keeping the number of chars on each line almost constant.

It seem they quit asking the question in SO and move to our QA 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Today I'm on my home laptop running Windows 10 Anniversary edition.
On Edge & Chrome, I cannot watch a preview video on Udemy.
I was just watching these the other day. Here's an example, would you mind trying?
Basic electronics for Arduino Makers | Udemy[^]
You'll see a little video area and a "Preview this course" text and a play button. On both Edge and Chrome I see a brief flicker and then nothing as the window tries to pop up.
Now, I just tried to click the filter buttons on CodeProject.com ([All], [Android], etc) and they will not work either. In both of those browsers. This is very odd.
Anyone else seeing this?
In the mean time I'll reboot and see what happens.
Then I'll try other browsers too.
Thanks for any input.
EDIT 1
Just noticed when I went to restart there seems to be an update wanting to install. I'll install and see what happens.
Edit 2
I just installed FireFox and went to the udemy site and I can play the video.
The site looks drastically different in FireFox though.
And the filters on the codeProject front page still do not work.
Are those broken on the site? Is it the site and not just me?
I've used those in the past.
(posted using FireFox)
Edit 3
Just noticed that at the top of the firfox page (on udemy.com) there is a little note that "firefox has prevented the outdated plugin "Adobe Flash" from running on https://www.udemy.com".
Hmm... maybe this is all a Flash related issue?
Edit 4
Thanks to all who responded.
It seems as if the two issues I experienced were both related to the sites themselves.
1. CodeProject's main page filter menus ([All] [Android] [C#] [C++] do not seem to currently work -- do not seem to filter and when you click them they are never set as selected.
2. the udemy video seemed to be failing from the source.

IE11: Video not shown at all
Chrome: Works perfect

Thanks for trying.
I installed the update and went back and still cannot play the video.
Also, those "filters" on the codeproject home page [all], [Android], [c#], [c++] do not work.
This is very odd.

Using Edge - the CP filters seem to do something once in a while - but behaviour undefined - e.g. clicking on SQL might get you C#. If you're lucky.
ooo... wait - I just clicked Mobile and got Mobile... I think... mmm... hamsters... roulette wheel... hmmm...
Most odd.

|

|
|
Okay, so maybe that is the site and not me.
Thanks for chiming in.

Just checked the filters on CP home page with IE11. Either they don't work, or I don't know what I'm doing...probably the latter. Clicking any filter shows the same content and doesn't seem to be 'remembered' when going back to the home page. All is always selected...maybe that's just the way it works???

Thanks for trying.
That is not the way it works actually, because I used that functionality in the past few weeks and it worked.
I am an Android dev and normally I can click the Android one and it will stick there and show only most current Android articles until I click another. it will stick there over browser sessions normally which is nice if you read a particular type of article.
Thanks,

I get the same results as you. Running Edge.  The video doesn't work for me either.

Thanks for replying. Okay, I guess there is something odd going on with that site.
I was just having all of these issues and couldn't figure out what was going on.
you know what else? I went into my wife's computer and it is knocked off the Internet again and it says, "Please activate Win10".
I've documented this issue here at: The Lounge: Ubuntu To The Rescue[^]
Everything is crumbling...

Maybe try again to activate her Windows, using the Windows 7 key???

I just activated her machine successfully again using the Win 7 product key.
It had been activated for a week and running fine.
Well, I believe the M$ registration process gets lonely and needs some attention and so it reaches out and asks me to visit every week.

Edge and Chrome both work for me!

Thanks for trying. They still don't work on my machine on :
Chrome : Version 55.0.2883.87 m
or Edge 38.14393.0.0
Works on firefox. Craziness.
I've rebooted again too.

Chrome 55.0.2883.87 m (64-bit): Nothing at all.
IE 11.162.10586.0: Nothing at all
