Once my father was preparing a 15kg salmon for a big dinner party. The phone rang and he turned away for just a moment.

Our three cats who had been strategically located around him used this moment to pounce. Working together they had leapt onto the bench and pulled it off.

With a loud splat he came rushing back to find them merciless attacking the fish.

(the meat with bite marks was strategically removed, and the cats rejoiced).

The dog into trouble for not stopping the cats.

What pisses me off is it won’t tell me how to convert codeine to heroin or how to enrich uranium, and how to cook up the HE required to compress the uranium into going critical.

Such a bullshit article. It sounds like an utterly ridiculous defence from the studio that vomited up this crap.

I can’t believe they sat in the screening room and thought this was a good idea to release.

Of the excepts I’ve watched of this tragic waste of electricity it’s excruciatingly bad, embarrassingly bad. Not to mention the worst production qualities ever.

I’ve seen home made porn on Hi8 VHS that had better grading and colour.

Why not both?

Well as of 10:13:49 am AEDT Saturday, 7 February 2026 over the last 5 days the NASDAQ has lost 1.78% (it would have been greater but there has been a slight rebound)

A couple weeks later he ran up a pine tree and got stuck for 4 days again. This time I fashioned a pole and just knocked him off the branch. He fell about 20 feet into a pile of leaves and pine needles and was fine.

I wasn’t 11 but as a young man, newly purchased home owner and father I was struck by an epiphany that I was able to get a cat after years of never ending moving and renting.

So I went out and got the greatest cat I could ever find. A grey and white tuxedo.

Well within a month this idiot had climbed a Norfolk pine tree. A good 20 plus feet, right to the fricken top.

For 6 hours he meowed and meowed. My daughter meowed and begged for me to get him. Now I was by no means a tree climber but I wasn’t gonna leave em and he clearly couldn’t work out how to get down.

So up that tree, sap, pine needles, webs, all in my fucking mouth, I climbed until I got to the top and grabbed that idiot. It was fucking terrify (I hate heights). I shoved him in my hoodie and somehow got down.

Thus he became forever known as stupid cat.

That said he wasn’t that stupid that he ever repeated it. Never went higher then the first branch of a tree again.

Asset manager says what everyone with a brain can see

No way, company created in 2015 burns through $57.9b (chatgpt told me this) without making a single dollar worth of profit in ten year and now the analysts are supposing it might collapse.

Lol

Considering his lack of public statements and actual support for Israel and zionism I’d argue your wrong.

Conservatively moderating a shit show that is Israeli subject matter is one thing (and I’ve been banned from reddit for pointing out how bat shit insane zionism is) but actively supporting the regime is a completely different thing.

The point is here is one of these two command line utilities are objectively easier to learn…

My PC is an electro mechanical pinball table from 1971 (Williams Klondike, btw) running Puppy Linux.

You guys are snobs. No, seriously, youre totally elitist. You feel like the unappreciated scholars, so you shit on the people who know less than you.

What shits me with Linux commands is they don’t make sense.

Copy, diskpart, dir and so on make sense.

But Linux. Bah.

Cp, lsblk (sudo fdisk -l) and ls.

I know it’s an a old dog thing but having used dos and windows command line for over 50 years it just makes me so frustrated to see Linux commands and their switches, syntax and parameters so obtusely obscure, purposeful, unnecessarily filled with complex jargon.

I write sql and python so I’m not unused to this sort of world but everytime I use Linux I find the command line, the supposedly masterful feature of the OS, just painfully, unnecessarily, poorly designed.

copying and pasting strange commands from strangers on old forum posts)

Yes exactly the only way to obtain the help is via weird forums where you waste hours reading posts from people trying to do basic shit. Half the time it’s for the wrong distro, version or whatever bullshit problem you’ve got.

Like godforbid you want to mount a drive that won’t mount in the GUI version of whatever kernal distro ver you end up getting.

You end up writing ridiculously long commands to do shit I can do in a handful of words that make sense in plain English.

Just shits me that MS is hellbent on enshitificating windows, forcing us to find alt.

What choice do we have anymore

I’m using a 7700k from like 2017. I got me a 3070 and 32GB of ram and I can still play 4k @60fps on games like Horizon Zero Dawn, Dead Island 2 Starwars Outlaws (great game) and Cyberpunk (yes fine with DLSS).

And older stuff like F04, Battletech, HL2, Black Mesa, Fallen order.

Would I like something more powerful. Sure. Cyberpunk natively rendered would be cool. But it won’t really change my day to day. For that I’d need to spend way more on a fancy monitor which seems kinda moot when I’m already at 4k @ 60hz.
