Build her a server, install it at her house, set up some sort of automated DVD ripping mechanism so that she can digitize her own collection, wait for the inevitable tech support call, then go spend a Sunday afternoon fixing her server and digitizing her collection for her while she makes you dinner. You get to call it “quality time”, and you get fed while keeping her happy and her collection as far away from yours as possible. Win/win, everyone is happy.
Yeah that’s cool and all. But now build that into the front of this, and I’ll really be impressed.
You are now annoying me. Have a nice day.
Call them whatever you want. Genetically they are male and female. This is simple biology, which is apparently much more complex than you seem to understand.
Every article you’ve posted and every article you will post says the same thing.
For a male cat to have a calico pattern, the feline has to have three sex chromosomes: two Xs and a Y. This phenomenon can happen in both humans and animals and is, in either case, known as Klinefelter syndrome.
Again, they may present with male genitals, but genetically they are both male and female. There are no male calico cats. It’s literally impossible.
All calicos have 2 X chromosomes. That means they are either female, or in rare cases intersexed XXY with male genitals. There are no strictly male calicos. It’s literally and biologically impossible.
Calicos can be XXY, which may present male genitals but is intersexed and both male and female. The genes for color are coded on the X chromosome. That’s why only females are calico.
The same thing I’d want if I were a cat. Nip.
Yes, but I want auto fill turned on for some websites because they go straight to the section that I want instead of navigating through the site every time.
…and so that typing in a url doesn’t automatically auto fill with a site you’d rather not let anyone else see.
And yet the cat still has a human working for them.
I never disputed it. I said I don’t care. They can pronounce it however they want. In regular conversation with people around me, I’ll call it whatever I want.
They released a joke video, as evident by the singing and the fact the kids still said it “wrong” at the end. I think they are very aware and understand that people will still call them Soos.
I live in a place where people call things whatever they want to call things, and when enough people call that thing by that pronunciation for long enough than it becomes the default pronunciation. Which is exactly the same as where you live.
IKEA in North America pronounces it I-Key-Ah in their commercials. That’s directly from the company itself. If they are OK with accepting the different pronunciation of their own name, then why am I expected to say it the European way? That goes for Suse and Asus as well, since they’ve been called Soos and Ace-sus for years before they decided to “correct” everyone.
Non-Anglophone countries are free to exist and are free to pronounce things however they want. I would be looked at as if I had two heads if I pronounced those things like those non-Anglophone countries. It’s about not wanting to be treated like I’m a idiot just for pronouncing things the “proper” way.
I don’t care. It’s Soos. It’s Ace-SUS, not Ah-soos. It’s I-Key-Ah, not E-Kay-Ah. These are the way everyone around me says these things for as long as I can remember.
But how do I avoid feeling that horrible sense of emptiness? It’s not done until it’s 100%…
