I can’t imagine she was a stray for a long time, she had a super well taken care of long coat, and the person who brought her to the rescue said ‘I just opened a can of chicken and she came to me and didn’t want to leave’ lol
I’m glad we were able to give her a nice and comfy and tasty retirement home (when we got her, she was 11. She’s now 18)
@skinnylatteAdrianna Tan our cats love beef ribs which I always think of as comical dinosaur ribs. But I just imagine in my head they are thinking wow, I really made it as an apex predator. I’ve managed to convince an animal that is smarter and about 10x bigger than me to take down an animal that is 100x bigger than me and feed it to me as a lil snack.
I enjoy introducing random foods my ‘elderly stray cat from Tracy, CA’ may have never tried before:
7 years in, today’s little nibble is ‘Chinese style bread’, and she loves it.
Chinese style breads are more brioche-like; soft, fluffy, usually filled with something extremely savory.
She’s obsessed with bread, so here is her ?? bread face

I think this syntax is incredibly unintuitive to combine with "ago" as in the example.. what do you mean "5 yesteryears ago" that is bullshit. it means "5 years ago"? THEN FUCKING SAY 5 YEARS AGO. why include the YESTER prefix when doing that. you can't say "5 yesteryears ago" it has to be "yesteryesteryesteryesteryesteryear" to compose yester and this also shows why for longer periods than like two it's inefficient and you should just say "N years ago" but WHY WOULD YOU SAY "YESTERYEARS AGO"

Ah. The reason that scans of the Apache log files on my techblog's host are taking a really long time today is that one IP decided to hit my URLs 1,193,188 times today. So far.
Fortunately they used a generic user-agent that I am already having Apache redirect away from the actual techblog to a static page, so that didn't invoke my CGI ~596,594 times (which would have been many times more than typical volume).

If you are in Toronto, around the end of September there is a limited time revival of this play I thought was very good
https://www.soulpepper.ca/performances/gilgamesh
It is a slightly fluid mash up of the "bromance" *cough cough* of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, with the playwright's autobiographical story of being an Iraqi refugee in Canada, scored by the playwright's (quite good, I think they play local coffee shops) Arabic-infused jam band. If you DM me I have a 15% off code.
I only have one complaint about iOS 26: getting to “all tabs” in Safari now takes one more tap.

I wanted to make tomato sandwiches because other people say they're amazing, but honestly I don't want to eat soggy white bread! So I am going to fix myself a plate of tomatoes dressed with mayonnaise and pepper. I will say it's sus that this is not a thing in our national cuisine, like most foods don't depend entirely on white bread for their magic.

Does anyone have experience with any of the recent RP2040 or RP2350-based boards that have DVI/HDMI output, a USB host port or ports, SD card slot, and audio? These boards are often used to run retro computer emulators. I'm particularly interested in the quality of the audio output, and whether anyone has been able to use that feature from Rust. Pinging

"why do all popular languages seem to be from over fifteen years ago" because it takes a lot of work and a long time to make a language and to make it usable by other people and to make it useful and accessible to other people. (and we have to ask, who is funding all this work?) next question.

Enshittification at its finest.
@ewjoachimJoachim Jablon thank you for putting up with it on my behalf! I *thought* the 30% tax was repealed for Patreon (and its ilk) specifically, but I have no idea if that actually took effect or how it affects non-US markets. In any case, it’s a good reminder: never do any patreon subscriptions through an app, always use the website
fun fact: you should have a cat :3

Today's club group bike ride¹ went from Etienne Brulé park up to Humber College and back by a slightly different route. I've ridden this route too many times and have wound up kind of burned out on it, despite it being a perfectly nice, almost entirely park trails ride; leading the ride didn't help. The weather was mostly cool and cloudy, which may have been why the parks were so comparatively empty.
Hey! Hi! What are you up to?
Oh, eh….boring. Next!
