The house is plenty warm but the cat knows it's getting cold out and has gone into extra heat seeker mode, which is really something considering that this is the same cat who only has enough cuddles after 36 hours.

@debugninja@banana.dog @fireglow Good job, now get yourself banned to make sure it works.

@debugninja@banana.dog Assuming those services are set up reasonably maybe a 4. If you're not sure if they're reasonably set up then yikes, please fix that.

My hands were in sanitizing solution so the cat is going crazy over that. She loves the smell of bleach, I guess.

It looks like QuickBooks for Mac no longer saves just as a plain SQLite3 file readable with the usual command line program? I suspect they made the change to make it harder for people to notice how much of a dumpster fire their schema is. It's kind of impressive how poorly they were able to make that perform.

Just got a spam that has my name as Ster Roa. (flip the order and make it 1 word)

Tonight the cat is alternating between snoring and hugging.

@jacethechicken There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

Tried out the new bar a block from my shop for lunch today. Historically the area has been a dry district so this is the first bar the street has had in my lifetime. I commented positively in the newspaper about this back when they were getting their permits because otherwise there were 2 places that I could walk to on a lunch break, both of them are pizza places, and one of those historically doesn't know how to manage pest infestations. Anyway, decent bar fare, good prices, will repeat.

@taweret One of my trips to China happened during a winter olympics and nearly all the television coverage of the event I saw there was on the curling so that's either a real sport or a communist conspiracy.

@deshipu@mastodon.technology That would be the alcohol.

@deshipu@mastodon.technology This usually comes from "I need to get this working but I don't have the time to actually think about what's going on and do it right."

@gnomon It's the cut off top from the bottom layer of a 2 layer cake with frosting added. Definitely still in the cake family instead of the giant frosted cookie family.

Deposited some money to the credit union and noticed that the balance was 18 cents more than expected. Sure enough, an 18 cent royalty payment.
