Teaching my lady SQL is exactly where the sparks started over 30 years ago. It worked at least once 🙂

What a weak and easily threatened mind you have.

I’m entertained by his dedication.

They are not bugs that will eat your food though, which was the point I made.

I had one plop off the ceiling onto my shoulder while I was working a few weeks ago. Took a pic and sent it to my daughters to remind them spiders are our friends and then took him off my shoulder and put him on the ground.

My philosophy… if he’s surviving in my house, he’s eating bugs and providing a service.

Spiders are keeping your house free of bugs that will eat your food if they find it. They’re working hard and get little thanks.

You won’t go low on vitamins if your carnivore diet incorporates organ meat. Most people don’t want to do this however. Liver isn’t terribly popular, kidneys and other organs even less so.

Powershell works really well on other OSs now. I use it on MacOS and Linux daily. I might loath MS but Powershell is a fantastic shell and after working with an object-oriented shell I hate going back to anything else.

Renting and pets have always been a problem, and the higher the occupancy rate the less likely landlord’s allow pets. I certainly understand from a landlords perspective pets damage things and replacing all the carpet because cats pissed all over and the tenant didn’t care is expensive. But as you said, with housing what it is now there are even more people restricted from pet ownership than ever.

I mean historically people didn’t necessarily think of it as mutilation, even if now most people understand it to be extreme. Many cats have bad scratching habits and people don’t know to train their cats not to do so. Some will definitely trash your furniture and people looked at de-clawing as a way to stop it vs giving up the cat for adoptuon. Are all cats even trainable to not scratch? I don’t know personally.

I’m kind of curious how banning declawing of cats influences rates of abandonment and euthanization. I had many cats when I was younger, some which were bad scratchers and got de-clawed and others which weren’t prone to it so didn’t get de-clawed. I’d like to get one now but know my wife (and I probably) won’t be able to tolerate our furniture and drapes getting tore up if I can’t train it not to, and I hate the idea of adopting one only to give it up later, so I’ll likely not get one at all. I wonder if and how many get put down simply because fewer adopt them when de-clawing is banned.

Time Machine is just backup software isn’t it? It’s not doing an involuntary index of all your activity and content you interact with, right?
