    wow, that’s a perfectly accurate description of my blue! we have a thing where when I come home, he’s waiting for me at the door, and always stands up on his hind legs to bump noses.

    he also figured out how to lead us to things, like his food bowl, litter box, windows, etc, when he needs something. when he decides it’s bed time he’ll get in the way of whatever we’re doing until we follow him to bed and get in. at which point he jumps to the foot of the bed and sleeps like a dog. he runs the house, and we’re his pets/servants, obviously.

    I only noticed, because he looks a lot like mine, who has oddly pronounced biceps for a cat. Sometimes when he sticks his paws out over the bed, it looks like he’s trying to point me towards the gun show. Also very active, and legitimately big boned.









  • Somebody gained a job programming and servicing that mow-bot; maybe even a whole team. Maybe the original driver wrote the path and manages it now.

    I get the sentiment, and agree that there’s value in keeping labor jobs reserved for people who need them, but using automation isn’t inherently evil.

    When my company moved our production operations to automatic lines and robots, they promoted everyone to machine operators, taught new skills, and paid out more. It may not be the way every company handles the change, but it can be done, and it’s a better path forward than forcing people to accept a life of hard labor.







  • I browsed /c/all for a couple weeks and picked up a few more subs with every pass. made a few guesses in the search bar, too, just to see if I could find some communities based on what I like discussing.

    I subscribed to a ton of smaller ones, even without any content, just to see where they go. it’s going to be an interesting ride.



  • I first made the switch to android after my iphone 5 died and found out the newer models wouldn’t have an aux output. I have significantly more chances to use a 3.5mm plug than bluetooth in my life, so it was an easy choice.

    7 years later, and I still have the same phone. No bloat, and updated the way I want it. I charge it once per day at high-performance mode, and the battery is holding strong.

    I keep an iphone dongle in my car for friends, because I am a gentleman, but they always remark on how easy it would be to just have the damn aux port.
