I choose to swear because sometimes words aren’t enough otherwise. When faced with the horrors of this world, sometimes a good “fucking” paired with whatever garbage is just appropriate. As in, “this fucking society.”

And have multiple copies in at least two locations of anything truly important to guard against disaster (such as a fire or regionally appropriate natural disaster). I got a spare drive to copy all the music that I’ve made and sent it to my father in a different part of the country. I could lose everything and be pretty bummed, but not that (without severe depression). I also endorse use of a safe deposit box at a bank if you don’t have someone who can hold data in a different city.

I’ve had two kitties that got one or two pounds overweight and both were long-hairs. I always figured that cats that are built for colder weather have an instinct to eat and bulk up in case of food scarcity. My short-hair kitty has stayed slender which, to me, seems to back that up. But I don’t know anything scientific or medical, it’s just an observation.

Not OP, but I had to take my little buddy to got to the vet under dire circumstances. I held him, wrapped in a towel for warmth, like a baby. I talked to him and he talked back but never opened his eyes. I couldn’t be in the room when they gave him the shot or after. Now I’m crying.

He just wanted to give you a present.

Damn human didn’t eat the mouse I worked to catch a-gain.

Cats. Big and small. They’re just too awesome to need explaining.

It was always her box.

I’ll sell you a solid color tshirt with no design plus a Sharpie. Only $50. Order now while supplies last.

Switch to printf.

printf "%s\n" "text goes here"

Your sister has good taste.

I’m sorry, but letting your cat get this large is neglect or abuse or both.

I guess Microsoft is stepping up their campaign against OSS.

/s I know it’s a bad joke. MS contributes a lot to OSS. It would have worked better in the Ballmer era.

Developers, developers, developers, developers.

Whoops typing while walking through a lobby and obviously had a brain bork. My mistake. GB.

Agreed. I can now download a multi-terabyte file in a matter of minutes or even less.

I can’t believe I have to make my sleeping spot a-gain.

It’d have to be an incredible amount. Music is my first passion. You’d have to give me huge fuck-you-money.

Try Command-F (Mac) or Control-F (Windows) and search the page for mod or log.

Must be a per server setting, cause I checked and do see modlog in politics on my instance.
