I also firmly believe it’s to crush the idea that the majority of people don’t like what’s happening. Feels like standard censorship to me. If you look around, and it feels like everyone is against you, you have much incentive to speak up. Nobody wants to stand alone. Reddit is such a huge platform for discussion–they want to use that power to shape what is ‘normal’.

Cat Detective Albert Wilde!

It wasn’t what introduced me to linux entirely, but it is absolutely what made me realize that Linux COULD be user friendly, so I definitely give credit to Valve for that. I am now gearing up to make the switch in the near future on my desktop.

Ayy same age, got a stuffed whale and a stuffed kitty!

Like I said your mileage may vary. I know in my town, fliers are fairly effective because there are a lot of high-foot-traffic spots where they can be posted. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone go door to door about something, but we have had folks attend local events with requests for signatures and they seem to do decently. You gotta know your community to know how best to reach out to them.

I do have a little experience and you are correct! Canvassing or fliers or whatever is very much a YMMV per location but collaborating with fellow supporters and grabbing data to back up your position are both solid starting points.

Do Not Talk. Do Not Think. Simply Consume.

For a second I thought this was an Only Murders In The Building reference.

My cat has hyperthesia and overly sensitive paws, and she used to leap out of the litter box to finish frequently. Our vet suggested we try a gentler litter and it worked! We got a “soft paws” formula litter and it helped a ton.

Same, kitty

I’m sorry but that is the most high def version of that screenshot I have EVER seen.

Okay so I got curious and according to wikipedia:

“The Oxford English Dictionary states that the popular 1876 song My Grandfather’s Clock is responsible for the common name “grandfather clock” being applied to the longcase clock.”

One of my relatives’ primary concerns isn’t ticks, it’s mice getting into the house. Is that a valid concern? Personally I think just keeping a couple of indoor cats would offset encroaching rodents.

Interestingly enough, you are correct, and I read about it in the same article that is being depicted in this comic. (MIT’s paper on the subject.)

According to the artist’s comments, it was a lighting study, so I bet they’d love to hear it!

I did post the source?

It especially kills me when the vendor DOES have their own website, and it looks like they have their own store. You go to buy it and it redirects you to their Amazon page.

I will give it this. It’s been actually pretty helpful in me learning a new language because what I’ll do is that I’ll grab an example of something in working code that’s kind of what I want, I’ll say “This, but do X” then when the output doesn’t work, I study the differences between the chatGPT output & the example code to learn why it doesn’t work.

It’s a weird learning tool but it works for me.
