The cat sounds a little horse

I got my standing desk at work mostly set up... one issue is that when it's raised up I can't see my calendar on the wall. I mean, I can see the cat, but not the days below the cat...

Getting a jump start on #caturday, before I forget.

You look like you need a photo of a cat lounging on a stack of Toshiba laptops from the 1990s

Eating a pack of McCoy's salt and vinegar crisps, and it turns out my cat Charley likes the salt and vinegar flavour even more than I do. She's less interested in the potato part. Her brother, Bruce, loves to lick the salt from Pringles. Pet food manufacturers may be missing a trick.

Back in 1992 or so there was a cat that would hang around the Fang Gang House in Madison and I called the cat "Claude" (because it's like "Clawed") and Milt call the cat "Mr. Roarke" but I thought that was a dumb name so I made a trading card for the cat with the name "Claude" on it.
I'll never name anything Claude (or "Clawed") again.

Guess the cat is proud of herself. Wife was in the other room so I placed a fried egg and small piece of ham on a plate by her chair Cat was asleep on the sofa on her heating pad. Figured she would not notice and had never seen her express interest in eggs before.
Went into the other room and a few minutes later heard the wife yelling at the cat. Came out and found the cat had taken her egg and ran behind the sofa with it.

Just patched a long fiber link, which would've absolutely _sucked_ to get CAT.7 cable through.
The steel-armored OS2 cable is cheap and super robust/easy to work with. The LC connectors are even smaller than the hole for CAT.7 would've been.
This is nice \o/
What I want to say is: Don't be afraid of fiber for DIY networking people, it's awesome and often muuuch better than copper cable!
I also didn't have to do any annoying LSA terminations or crim…

It started with a headline in the Guardian, some old memory of Minitel made me click. I stopped reading after I read about Félicette. A cat that went into space and came back alive.

Fun Fact:
While many think cURL by @… stands for "Client and URL", it actually got it's name from what a sleeping cat does!

My time is worth so little that I just spent 90 minutes resecting a very nice USB-C cable that was chewed mostly in half by a cat. She really seems to have a thing for the silicone sheathing!

The assassination attempt we're all talking about: Twig just snuck up and pounced on Clove while she was half-asleep. She survived, thank god. Violence has no place in cat politics.

RE: https://toot.cat/@plexus/116283016837715719
It should also be noted that beyond the ethical, political and environmental issues with this is that it doesn't work:
1. There is on average no mid to long term productivity gain with actual real-world software development that isn't just a "wow see what it can do" demo. (Multiple studies have shown that now.)
2. It won't help with 90% of the work when professionally making software, which, believe it or not, isn't coding. 90% of the work is designing and planning the software (these are things that happen both upfront and during development).
Maybe you have seen the recent Microsoft thing rolling back features in Windows they added?
E.g. Copilot in Notepad. What they did is essentially outsourcing project management to developers who then outsourced it to LLMs. But an LLMs can't plan and design software, and arguably barely can even generate code that works (as in reliable and performant). So now they have a buggy mess with features no one wants and they're rolling it back.
There's no silver bullets in software development.

Gee I wonder which room their "mom" is in.

I need to get a cat flap. Haven’t had a cat in a dozen years because I can’t take on the obligation… but we’ve got a broad collection of semi-ferals in the neighborhood.

A few pencil sketches I made of our cat Loki. Trying to get into drawing with almost no experience, and I love how even on this small example, sketching the same object three times already shows some immediate progress. :blobcatnomcookie:

Cat Heads in Space: The Novel That Grew a Body
Some books begin as sentences. Others begin as outlines or fragments scrawled on napkins at two in the morning. This one began as a sound. Specifically, it began as the sound of my own voice reading a line about a cat head floating through space in a Life Helmet, arguing with another cat head about whether their ship had a name, and realizing that the argument was funnier and sadder and more philosophically loaded than…

try this one weird trick discovered by a cat dad*
*it’s me, I’m cat dad

Fun Fact: Cats never domesticated, they just mastered human mind control to make us think they did

I was lying in bed with a cat on me and the window shade decided to spontaneously roll itself back up scaring the crap out of both of us. He ended up leaving the room, probably because of the ghosts. I am still here. Alone. Afraid. Help.

Aquesta matinada, entre les 00:30 i les dues i remitjó dol matinada, hi ha hagut una apagada elèctrica generalitzada a #Valls.
Aquest matí, guaitava les notícies locals i les xarxes socials i nulú estŠ parlant ni tan sols mencionant el tema.
Què passa? És tan normal que el sistema elèctric de Valls es caigui quan merament cauen quatre gotes que ja ho considerem normal?

I was having a vivid dream last night and thought myself, "Wait is this a dream?"
To test if it was a dream or real life, I looked up at the sky to giant cat with 1 head and 2 bodies, looked away then gazed again to notice it now only had ONE body.
That's how I knew it was a dream! :blobcatthinksmart:
