Cat is play fighting through the blanket and bit through it?
Our cat will slink to the farthest corner of the house. It will be hours before she emerges. The vacuum ran for 8 seconds.

Technology@beehaw.org•'Ad Blocking is Not Piracy' Decision Overturned By Top German Court
4·5 months agoWhen modern billboards became a thing, many cities or similar jurisdictions passed laws limiting their proliferation, in order to ensure you didn’t end up in a billboard filled dome.
In Canada, at least, you can register your address as a “no admail” destination, and you’ll stop getting those flyers entirely. It doesn’t stop certain protected classes of ads, in particular ads for prospective politicians during an election campaign, or mail that is personally addressed to you (even if it is an ad). But does shut it almost completely down. This would be the legal equivalent of installing a real-world ad-blocker.

The delusional cat owner believes their cats are smart. The honest cat owner believes their cats are just fucking with them. ;)
Cat trained to moew at questioning inflection at end of sentence?
Meow.
I thought GCC dropped support for compiling to the abacus?
Glad he didn’t just run!
We let our cat out with us in the morning when we have coffee on the front deck. She wanders around with us, checking all the plants. But, most importantly, she has learned where to run towards when she is scared (the door is wedged open a sliver and she can push her way back into the house).
It’s great, because it means she doesn’t run if she gets out accidentally.
Yes. This is the correct view of capitalism if seen from the position of money.
Until you step back and ask where that money comes from.
And you realize that it is a funnel, from those without money to those with money.
And then the exponential growth “feature” starts to feel bad.
I say this as a small business owner experiencing double digit year-over-year equity growth, trying to claw my way up and out of the crab bucket.
Colour me cautiously optimistic
