On par except that are three of them at once.

I’m not doing any more bottle babies until I’m collecting Social Security and don’t have to work or sleep.

No lynx native to my area. But a bobcat is always an option. Some legends tell of cougars. I can always hope.

We had four cats die within a year. All orange boys.

Then one day I get a call from a place I’m doing Trap Neuter Release. Some mom just dropped three kids on a porch. I go grab the kids and set a trap for mom. I get the kids home. Three orange girls, two are bobtails. I’ve been on the hunt for an orange girl for years. Jackpot.

Really hoping we get mom because these are bottle babies. Get mom. Orange girl with even less tail.

I know I’m probably keeping mom no matter how feral she is. Definitely one of the kids too.

Time to make the decision. Which kid to keep. Wife vetoes me. We are keeping them all. Plus two more orange girls that will show up over the year. I have six orange girls. Probably more than anyone on the east coast. So much foster fail. So few braincells.

Eventually tame mom after 12 months and multiple attempts on my life. So many orange girls.

I foster extra spicy kittens and tame them so they can be adopted. Each time one bites me I think about how I have almost no insurance and this could be the one that unalives me. Those puncture bites are amazing. This little predator weighing less than 1% what I do can do me in with just their teeth.

My pet geese are so much safer.

I spent 20 years in call centers. I felt so much of this movie.

There’s no shortage of batteries to power them.

$_ in bash is the most recent parameter Always look for the built in variables. They save time.

If I hadn’t snapped my cast iron one I wouldn’t have made my own. Cast iron isn’t supposed to do that. I made the second one to better and I accidentally had 6 beers worth of time to burn.

Not me. I can’t have kids because I understand that tortilla presses in the hands of a 3 year old becomes a finger crusher and if a kid isn’t old enough to make a tortilla press they aren’t old enough to use one. Age 6 is the right age for working with power tools.

I’m only half joking. My wife got herself fixed at 24 and and I got myself fixed at 40 because we both know that we both knew neither of us should ever have kids.

I’ve got stuff I’d love to post there and to cooking groups but these pesky 403 errors get in the way.

Scrap 2x4s, a large bolt, a dowel, some deck screws, a little glue, table saw, bandsaw, jig saw, drill press, drill

I can’t attach a picture without a 403 error.

Last weeks

Stupid voice to text.

Definitely. Last week I made a tortilla press after breaking my cast iron one. Yesterday I made a batch of flour and a batch of corn tortillas because my wife doesn’t like corn tortillas. Today I made another tortilla press.

When everyone was making bread during covid I made some tortillas. I have a reputation as a prepper. My wife was confused why I wasn’t going out and buying everything. After eating some tortillas she said “so you can do this all the time. This is why you aren’t out panic buying. Because you can pull this off in an hour instead of 8. Why aren’t we eating tortillas every day?”

No might. Only do. It is frequently ranked as the best Star Trek movie even though bits not Star Trek. Patrick Stewart didn’t like the very idea of it and then Jonathan Franks made him watch it. Patrick Stewart had to admit that he was wrong. He loved it.

Yeah, piloting a small plane at 90 sounded sus to me.

I think you meant “Bob”.

I haven’t been back to Reddit since The Exodus. I uninstalled the app. I suffered waiting for Boost to become available for Lemmy.

Unless extra words are added to show they are disagreeing with the practice instead of my comment then “also” is the best choice.

I didn’t see it as an attack. I saw it as very poor communication. “Also” would have worked way better as it would have been a “yes, and” instead of a literal “but.” I’m all about charitable readings. That’s why I didn’t attack them but pointed out their choice in wording. It was, as pointed out, snarky, not defensive.
