One stood in front of me in the road this morning. I believe he was helping me check the brakes on the car.

A long haired black cat sitting on an office chair with his front paws crossed. Looks like he needs to give you your annual performance review, and it is not going to go well.

It's especially funny that they are increasing hardware requirements in a memory shortage. It's plausible that windows 10 will get an extension on its extension for enterprise users. I got a notice last week that the most memory Dell will ship us is 32GB per desktop.

**repeats quietly to self** you do not need livestock. Go volunteer at the living history museum if you want to play with the babies. You do not need livestock. You barely care for your chickens. No more critters.

That is some depressing stuff for a Saturday morning. Accurate, but harsh for a weekend.

The big flagship uni up the road from me does an annual Tesla coil concert. It is indeed kickass

Not so much the pedant crowd as it is the very, very tired mechanics and machinists that have to attempt to repair things oiled with the wrong lube

Poor guy! Bucky just slides onto the tile (where the grout lines slow him down) or hits the couch, but he looks super embarrassed. The sad look of a cat struggling to grasp the coefficient of friction.

Same here. Bucky cat loses traction and goes flying across the hall if his feets are not trimmed. He is very chill about the clippers, and seems to have an easier time grooming his toes with them trimmed. It definitely helps with litter getting tracked around to trim the toe fluff.

The secret is to keep fun stuff in the basement. You still don't know why you went there originally, but you are enjoying life once you get to the basement so it's ok

I don't know the name, but that looks like the class of hardware that one has to get a hobby machinist make when a replacement is needed.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over at work.

Do we Midwesternerers have to make do with land based apocalyptic monsters, or does something come out of the Mississippi River?

I was going to ask if egg coffee was similar to Vietnamese egg coffee, but my brain melted at 'Swedish Baptist.' I did not know that was an viable combo.

Shovelling is such a bullshit concept, what happened to patience, like we're too good for the sun now? It gives us life it will take the snow, you cannot be impatient with a god

I am a lowly MLS, but i would like to go on record saying $NVDA should stick to video cards because people hate AI for very valid reasons. Primarily that AI is hurting society and does a lot of damage.

I appologize on behalf of the white women that don't say dumb shit like this. We do know how to go get training on our own without bothering people doing important work. Fellow white women: get your shit together!

Fresh up your folk magic around the lab to keep them out. I have had good results with decoy gremlins. If they think they area is already colonized they stay away.

I read is as a typo of 'fairy sound' and assumed you had some supernatural issues. Hit it with an iron skillet if it gets too close.

East Central IL has been known to get mad at people that don't wave in the car. The long goodbye hold in parts of Western IN.

One of our largest IFT member unions, the Chicago Teachers Union, is under investigation by a congressional committee. But let’s be clear: this isn’t about transparency. It’s political retaliation.

I am convinced stainless will be the dated equivalent of avocado green in a few more years.

Goals. But I get dizzy when I do spins. BTW, Defy Gravity pole studio in Urbana is awsome. Very queer friendly and disability inclusive.
