Well, it was from around the time the song released… it unfortunately seems true. It’d be interesting if there was a way to analyze the data to see how many of the downloads were unique…

I reflexively read that in Dwight’s voice.

That’s awesome! I looked it up on Amazon. I might need to get one or two for my little shit machines.

Looks to me like some sort of felt hidey hole where they can curl up and relax in the dark

What’s that Biscuit is hiding in?

Yes.

Yeah, it was fucking stupid expensive at about that same rate. I think in the end, it was more like $1200 or $1300 because there were more teeth that needed to be pulled than she could get eyes on during the exam. I decided to do it b/c there were so many teeth that needed pulling and that it would likely only get worse if I let it go longer.

Might get worse anyway…

One of my little guys had to go through that back in August. What’s amazing is that he had to eat wet food for several days, and he and my other cat absolutely don’t like wet food. Even when they were kittens, I tried getting them some nice refrigerated wet food as a treat a few times… barely touched.

I was astonished when my vet told me that once he healed he could go back to dry food. Cats apparently hardly chew their food at all. Vinnie didn’t need all his teeth out, but he had like 8 or 9 removed, and the vet said even if all his teeth had been removed he’d be able to eat dry food.

After the surgery we started calling him gummy nubbins.

Ugh… I really try to keep shit like that from happening. Autocorrect bonked on “carnivore” too, and that’s what grabbed my attention.

Damnit… that’s what I get for trying to sound smart, lol.

Yeah… don’t pay any attention to this kind of nonsense. Cats are obligated to carnivores. They don’t have the machinery to process a lot of non-meat foods. If they occasionally get into some things, it shouldn’t cause a problem.

Ultimately, just listen to your vet.

So far as the milk and cats thing… I think the issue is that they love it, they’ll almost always go for it, but many if not most are lactose intolerant… so too much will cause issues. If you had a cat who could process it, then great!

I just missed this gen entirely, and with the exception of the Switch’s successor, I don’t think I’m going to be buying another console for a very long time.

I used to be a dedicated console gamer… I had an NES growing up, then a Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast. Picked up a Game Cube somewhere along the way. Then I had the Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, WiiU, and finally the XBOne and Switch. I’ve had PCs mixed in there from time to time, but most gaming was done in the living room on console.

Then the Series X/S and PS5 come around… there were the massive supply issues, and everything was moving to 4K and I didn’t have 4K, and none of it seemed worth the upgrade. At this point my laptop was a dinosaur from 2011 and needed to be replaced anyway. So I built a desktop PC, which gets gamed on alongside my Switch, and my XBOne has been gathering dust.

Because that’s the way it is man…

I can live-stream myself performing a public execution in front of a crowded stadium full of people, and plead not-guilty. And the presumption of innocence before the court means I can do that as much as I want regardless how obviously guilty I may be.

And like it or not, that’s better than the alternative. A presumption of guilt before the court opens oneself to much more easily be wrongfully imprisoned for crimes you didn’t commit. Not accounting for obvious injustices that have occurred due to shortcomings and corruption in the system, these initial principals give us the best shot at having a system that’s less likely to fuck us than not.

The first step to understanding the material is exactly just remembering what the teacher told them.

Enjoy! It took me quite a while to get used to the columnar layout on my Moonlander, but it’ll come with use. Just force yourself to stumble though using it and spend some time on the typing exercise websites to train yourself and it’ll come. Before you realize it you’ll be just as fast and accurate as you used to be.

Oh totally, dude… that’s how it seems to be here from what I can tell. Reddit certainly had its hyper argumentative people, but a lot of conversations I’ve seen here seem to have a lot more of that attitude.

I have a good buddy who bought an early 90’s Supra that had a larger twin turbo installed on it and a bunch of other after market modifications. He ended up upgrading the fuel injectors and hand-made himself a brand new wiring harness for it and added a flashing utility for the computer. I helped him trailer it up to a dyno a few hours away from us so he could get it tuned. They were able to tune it to a handful of different fuel types… they tunes it for street gas and racing gas I think. They were talking about also tuning for E85, but I don’t think that ever got done. It was a lot of fun watching them actually run it on the dyno… iirc, it was pushing just under 700 hp at the wheels on street gas. It was fucking nuts.

I could have worded that comment a bit better.

I wasn’t trying to say there were an abundance of cars rolling off production lines taking a non-standard gasoline.

There is a large community of enthusiasts who have modified the engines in their cars to higher compression ratios and have tuned them to take higher octane fuel.

It doesn’t take some sort of import exotic to run best on high octane racing fuel. Your redneck uncle with a mid-80’s Fox body Mustang with the 5.0L V8 very well might have the engine tuned to run that gas.

Certainly it’s intentional, and certainly an enthusiast like that will be willing to put up with the headache of sourcing fuel, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a headache…

Many high performance engines require higher than the 97 octane that most regular gas stations sell as their Premium. That doesn’t even count any vehicles that run on 85% ethanol.
