Merlin (grumble, grumble) always drops out while recording

I was hoping for a solution before GBBC.
It doesn't seem to be able to record for more than a few seconds, and doesn't even register that it is hearing a bird.
Any of you folks who know of solutions; thank you.
Btw I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times w/0 success.

There I was- attempting to wrap presents

And I heard someone on the television in the background yodeling along to, "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas".
And this singer is running through all sorts of scales, modes, and reinterpretations of what was originally written as a single half note, perhaps two.
So I go in the room and say to my wife
"If she ever finds the note, tell her to hold on to it a while!"
My wife chuckles, and I start back to my wrapping.
At the door I turned back to my wife and ask,
"Who is that, anyway?"
"Christina Aguilera."



And, once again, I make a fool of myself.

I think this would be a good time to start a "THEY'RE COMING for your GUNS!" campaign.

This is all we heard from the republickin' party for thirty - forty years.
And SURPRISE!
It's True!
Remind them, if you would, as often as possible.

I thought this was a very valid point:

Found on Bluesky:

"So if we can just cancel funding / projects that have already been Congressionally approved and appropriated,
What's the point of negotiating?

It is time for Musk to be deported.

I know it won't happen but that jackass is trying to incite trouble.

“The Left is the party of murder.” was his latest in a long line of bullshit.

Tax the motherfucker, kill his government contracts or deport him, I'm fine with any of those options.

Talk about a mixed metaphor

"Our educational system has gone downhill faster than a clogged toilet!"

This is why I love her.
Such great visual imagery.

Anyone else having problems getting on DU today?

Getting "403 forbidden" when I try to open DU on my desktop.
At first I thought it was my VPN, but now I'm not sure.
After three attempts a screen popped up requesting/requiring me to accept "cookies" without the option of NO.
So I guess I'm stuck using my phone until that decides I'm 'forbidden'.

Is anyone else noticing the shift from mockery to dangerous accusations?

The page has turned- we were buffoons, 'libtards'.

Now we are a dangerous killers.
We're the terrorists.

Well, if they are SO determined to give billionaires more tax cuts,

They could auction off the great gold bird we got from Qatar.
