That’s miserable.

You might try one of those motion activated air duster things. Or a catapult for the worst one.

I’m not familiar with Owl House.

Lilith, obviously the solid black one, is dumb as a box of rocks. She can be a real pest about wanting attention and will slobber on you and lick you.

Lulu is a deadly mouser and very smart. She is feral in her mannerisms. Does love to be petted but wants to have an escape route. Won’t get in your lap.

Fighting got a lot better when we moved to a bigger place. Now you actually see them side by side like this occasionally. Obviously, “get a bigger house” is not really an answer, but making sure they each have their own space might help.

Just like there is no hate like Christian love, there is no hate like cat hate. IDK, many cats seem to prefer a certain amount of hate and conflict.

Welp. This will be stupid.

Having exported myself from the deep South to Yankee land, “Y’all have a good one!” never fails to brighten the day of someone working a cash register.

In general, folks up here really like southern politeness. They think sugar wouldn’t melt in my mouth. I get stopped in stores to talk all the time. Pretty frequently, they just give me a discount. I thought Yankees were supposed to be rude, but they’re actually really nice in public.

Ruger 10/22 for general varmint control and small game. Ruger wrangler .22 revolver for snakes and close up varmint control, works well with ratshot. Browning BPS 12 gauge for pretty much all shotgun needs.

1911 is also a damn fine handgun.

So I get 10 years of wealth before you harvest my soul? Just sign on the dotted line? Is this ink made from blood?

My presentation had the Russian video where the kid gets wrapped up around a bar. Also had the pictures from where the guy got wrapped around a chuck and there is an eyeball sitting on top of the pile.

The manual lathe is the most dangerous piece of equipment in a shop in terms of fatalities. They cannot be made ‘safe’. You can only train people how to use them safely and not put idiots on them.

I’ve seen the chuck key of shame used and support its use. My rule was one chuck key fuckup, second offense, immediate termination.

I used to have a safety presentation on lathes. It was called, “The Happy Fun Lathe Safety Presentation.” Kittens and puppies on the title and chock full of gore.

SPEAK UP, F**ET! FADDER CAN’T HEAR YOU!

Spacedicks was a terrible place full of terrible people, but I still feel like something has been lost.

I might die if I couldn’t cuss while working. I’d just fucking explode.

I cuss during job interviews, both as the interviewer and applicant.

Shh. Only dreams now.

Ehh. IDK if that would be bad or good for Linux. More choices against the possibility of weaker teams/poorer code. Even if things did fragment for a while, one version likely comes out on top and everyone migrates slowly back together.

Interwebs and tech seems to route around this sort of thing.

No clue how all this shakes out. Not real invested in this ideological/bureaucratic slap fight.

It’s always entertaining when Linus flames off.

Anna’s Archive for ebooks.

I mean, I have a home server setup with 32 terabytes of NAS in a RAID 5 running the *Arrs and Jellyfin pulling from Usenet. Also running Calibre and paying for Anna’s.

Like I told a friend that got huffy with me over how I do my sailing, “I been pirating since you had babyteeth.”

You can be prickly if you want, but increased piracy is a symptom of a service problem. If Netflix hadn’t gone to shit, I’d still be using it. I’m considering paying for Samsung’s art subscription for my TV.

I will pay a reasonable price for convenient media. Make it difficult or expensive enough, and I’ll sail the high seas. Time is money.

I’ve been paying for a Pandora subscription for about a decade. Worth it. (Piracy is a service problem.)

Their recommendations for similar bands, auto play, and making stations from a band or song has let me discover so much music over the years.

Badass. I’ll enjoy reading about it.

If I were younger and had more free time; it would be fun to infiltrate these groups.

Unicorn Riot, hadn’t seen it before. Looks really interesting. Other than being Left and somewhat militant, (I’m Left), do you have any criticisms?

I gave my son a copy of the Choose Your Own Adventure about the UFOs for Christmas a couple years ago. It’s the one with the impossible ending. The only way to get the good ending is to cheat and flip to it.

I also wrote a hidden message in the picture in the hidden ending. He still hasn’t found it.
