So they’re 2/3 of the way to being nudists like the Sphynx. I hope that thin layer of down keeps them warm enough, I always feel bad for Sphynxes having to wear sweaters and such.

I’ve never met a Cornish Rex, is their fur the same texture as a “normal” shorthair just shorter, or is it like wirey or something?

Izzy’s got purple beans!

This one I dont’ get. Wasn’t Donkey Kong Land a Gameboy Color or Gameboy Advance port of Donkey Kong Country for SNES? So if you want higher quality graphics and sound…play DKC?

Very young kittens are definitely some work. Mama cats have their work cut out for them. You’ll have a ten pound best friend in no time.

For the point I’m making, that’s close enough.

I will sometimes play with the weirdest little electronics, like a smart outlet or something, and the damn thing will have a little Linux distro running out of Flash and there’s no room to install anything but it’s got Vi on it, often as part of Busybox or Toybox. Nano might not be installed, emacs almost certainly isn’t, Vi or Vim almost certainly WILL be in there. For if you ever need to edit wpa_supplicant.conf on your coffee maker. Because we live in a world that contains that hell sentence.

The Republican party is a religion with two and only two commandments: Racism and fossil fuels.

Gotta be terrycloth, something rough enough to simulate mama cat’s tongue.

Someone deliberately chose to break with POSIX compliance?

The reason why I’m on team Vim is because it’s standard. A copy of it is installed on pretty much every Unix-like system out there. Vi is built into Busybox.

Yeah I fucked up. I flunked flank.

Paris cat: le meiouquoix

My go-to example is an inverter I got for my drill batteries. It’s a box that plugs into my 20V drill batteries with a couple USB ports and a 110V wall outlet on top. It can produce 150 watts maximum from that socket. The reviews for this device are split between 4 and 5 star reviews from people who know what that means, and 1 star reviews from people who don’t. “Won’t run my air fryer. Would rate 0 stars if I could.”

Is it a garden path sentence or a crash blossom?

Funnily enough, it was filmed in front of a live audience, and it is canned laughter. In the edit, they often replaced the audience’s genuine reactions with stock laughter for various reasons. For example, when Monica popped out from under the sheets with Chandler, the audience shouted for minutes on end, they trimmed that for broadcast.

OMFG cop procedurals. My parents watched so many of those fucking things that I sarcastically wrote an episode of one. Turns out that Federal Agent With Speaking Role IS Mr. Diddit.

Like…all shareholders?

Why shouldn’t anyone with an investment in a corporation be culpable for any criminal behavior of the company they’ve invested in? That’s a step or two away from “I didn’t rape and murder that little girl, my LLC did.”

Something something Unix Philosophy. Write small programs that do one thing and do it well and then re-use that well tested code as often as you can rather than poorly re-implementing it over and over?

Kitty is vexed.

You mean Eastern Spain? Where they speak Brazilian?
