Oh, what a dote!

I love a bit of fog. Very atmospheric!

If only! Give them time though and they'll convert the whole country. Multiple cases in my family of stray cats marching into the house and deciding they live here now. And once they have you converted you'll never be without a cat again!

It won't fix the world, but this thread of super cute cat drawings might be a nice break from all the doom?

I'm SO late to this but I have to post this Percy pic cause it's such a pose

Oh god, not the DUP

oh nooooo

oh that's not a baby anymore that's a DOG

Your struggle is making me feel a lot better about my own inability to get any kind of a grasp on the language.

honestly I think sometimes for some people it can be more about learning to be okay with the crying? like sometimes it's just unavoidable. it's a very natural and healthy response to distress. I know some people can be shitty about it, but like, you can't stop an asshole from being an asshole.

well i'm glad someone's got your back! but yeah, look, if hiding is what you gotta do to survive the day then that's what you do.

is this some weird hazing ritual or something? like why did this other person deserve the chair more than you? why don't they have their own?

what the fuck???

that's such a shitty thing to do

shit an, i'm sorry <3 hope your day has gotten a bit better by now

Dublin always seems to escape the worst of it, thankfully. Roof's still where it should be, and the power's still on, so all fine here!

it's truly just perfect television. (and I know I say this literally every time it comes up, but I can't help it) I'm so glad they won the fight to keep it

Best little boy ❤️

EXCELLENT

Would he be willing to accept a kiss on the head from me?

Not rare enough that I'd be really surprised or anything when I see one, but still rare enough that'd I'd notice it, even though I don't usually pay much attention to what make a car is. I don't know if that makes sense?

Nope. We do have regular Teslas though.

Leaving the fans off the CPU heatsink until I can get the RAM installed cause the clearance there is tight, and I've discovered that idk where all my sata cables went, so that's great! But aside from that, all that can be done right now is done!

Decided I might as well get started anyway. Had some hiccups along the way (thermal paste did NOT want to cooperate, and I lost the second last motherboard screw and had to take the damn thing back out to find it), but we're getting there!

It is going to be SO NICE to have a decent computer again!

almost ready to start building!!! just waiting on the ram and psu now!

so yeah, i imagine lambing is not dissimilar. just babies appearing out of nowhere every time you turn your back for a minute. you're trying to wrangle them and keep track of them but somehow there's MORE and MORE and MORE and it NEVER ENDS

it's just this very stressful situation where i'm like "i'm responsible for ALL these kittens and i don't even know how many there are!!! how am i supposed to know none of them have gone missing when i don't even know how many i'm supposed to have???"

just realised how much this situation resembles a recurring dream of mine where i've got these kittens i'm fostering and i'm trying to do a headcount of them to make sure i haven't lost any but they keep moving around and somehow multiplying in the process

i cannot imagine being a sheep farmer. like, one day you have 50 sheep in this shed. a week later you have 200!!! and most of them are little babies who are all yelling at you for milk at once!!!
