When life gives you cats…

make cat memes.

HAI!!!

Oh… that’s definitely a dragon.

Better drop your grilled fish and all your gold.

I thought OP liquified their toebeans for second…

(Pretty sure that’s pastey-snack stuff)(or it’s brain barf)

I have a timeshare cat (I watch him when his family goes out of town,) whose ordinary as standoffish as they come.

Unless you happen to be one of like 3 people. It’s fun watching him figure out which one to harass with his aggressive affection,

Do I need to click? (Nope), Congrats OP!

For the record, if you go to carpet stores you can frequently get discounts by getting discards, or like, broken packs of the tiles.

The trouble is, the scraps aren’t always what you’re looking for.

Char is totally judging your choice in games and movies. totally.

Don’t feel too bad. I built my first beowulf cluster out of my dad’s cave of obsolescence in the mid-90’s… pentium II’s and older. nobody noticed the giant networked-cabled-monstrosity with cables going all over the basement until he got home and wondered why his network was being weird.

(I may have also borrowed his network switch.)

“Oh. that’s cool but. uhm. WHY!!!?!?!”

“PiMark” (i think that’s what it was called, anyhow. It was a benchmarking tool that would time your systems’ time to calculate Pi to x digits. Or you could donate cycles to calculate… more pi.)

“uh. okay.”… “clean up when your done.”

Depends on my mood?

Once the cat decided to adopt the humans (and conveniently eats all their snacks and maybe chugs their potions?)

(They may have fed the cat.)

My parents used to have a dachshund that would sneak in and wedge herself in between his leg and the armrest.

Mouse pad extraordinaire. When they switched to a new recliner, should a seen her look of disgust when her bum didn’t fit. Not that she didn’t try.

Secret confession time… don’t tell my players….

Sometimes I put a cat on the map and when they get close to it, do a “random” awareness check for shits and giggles.

And bridges! They just walk across that bridge and sympathetic resonance and boom.

No bridge.

If you’re going to a frozen custard joint, I recommend strawberry concretes with hot fudge on top (as in, not mixed in. might take some explaining when you’re ordering.)

For those wondering, a concrete is just a shake that’s a lot thicker than a shake. (ostensibly, some kid kept asking for it to be thicker and thicker, and the frozen custard guy obliged, and at one point made it thick enough that it was ‘like concrete’, and also, able to be flipped upside down and not run out.)

depends. are you into that?

I mean. ICE CREAM.

there’s really nothing like a full fat custard ice cream. I’m just saying. pure heaven in a bowl. or on a cone. or whatever.

even if they make entirely non-dairy versions… or whatever… it’s just not the same. Definitely can’t blame the kitties. Humans have cravings that make absolutely zero sense. Like the majority of fast food joints. ew.

(also the fat and protein in dairy means it shouldn’t be all that regular, or very moderate, if that makes sense? but even if they’re not latose tolerant- which is unlikely- some low-lactose dairy might be okay. if you’re okay with dealing with the shits.)

Some cats can tolerate it just fine. Most are lactose intolerant.

Doesn’t stop cats from loving dairy, though. (It’s the fat. They like the fat.)

I think the hope is more … meta.

Science fiction is a brand of speculative fiction- it’s fundamentally asking “what if”. The darker side of sci-fi is a warning, and the hope is we pay attention.

Underwear: one per day plus 2 for contingencies, unfolded because I’m a monster.

Socks: 1 pair per day, one for contingencies. Unmatched, because they’re all the same anyhow.

2 pairs of pants and 1 pair of gym shorts. Possibly board shorts for swimming.

1 shirt (white or printed,) per day. At most 3 button downs.

Rainshell if summer, winter jacket plus layers if not.

Phone number for a local laundry service if it’s more than a week,
