Had to say goodbye to my cat this weekend.

The past month or so, he’d become very demanding for attention in the middle of the day, crawling all over the desk and nibbling at my hands if they were typing or using the mouse rather than loving on him.

Every day at almost the same time. And I gave him what he wanted every time.

My Monday would certainly be better if he was still doing it.

Perhaps your award was the friends you made all along…

If you’re still using live journal in 2024, you should win SOMETHING.

Hold on now… you can’t expect everyone to just read your whole comment…

Just tried this.

So fast!

This guy’s AI! Everybody grab a pitchfork!

Omg lol

‘Query runs much quicker with 10 million fewer rows, Dave.’

I thought for the longest time that homeopathy was just a generic name for alternative medicines or something. Wasn’t for me regardless so I never gave it a second thought or dug into it.

Someone recently explained what it was to me and I just started laughing. Hilarious. Kinda. I had no clue.

True.

Also true that Biden cancelled it in his first months in office… Who knows how long it takes to get fully up to speed on everything bad we have going on?

Also Also true that it started and ran longer under a different regime.

I’ve been saying the same thing for a while. Same with the massive waves of ‘inflation’ and enshittification.

I feel your pain. You’re describing my dogs to a tee. I can understand how it could be confusing to people who have never had to deal with this. What breed is your pupper if you don’t mind me asking?

Can’t speak for the other user, but we have had three West Highland Terriers/Westies. All three of them did this at times and could be super picky at times to the point of making them sick.

They have really strong internal clocks, and if their schedule gets out of whack, or if we’re slightly late, or if something gets their appetite moving earlier than normal, this happens.

Their stomachs start producing acid whenever they think it’s time for food, and if they don’t get it in time, they throw up stomach acid.

We have it decently under control these days due to years of experience… but it takes 4 meal times and a small snack before bed. One or the other of our current two will still get sick once every few weeks.

I have actually had to dial back their portions carefully the past few weeks because they were both a bit overweight. So I can confirm that this can be a problem even when they are getting enough food.

Cheesy Gordita Crunch is the correct answer, but probably best to also try basic items just for comparison.

I remember the dark days when the Cheesy Gordita Crunch was a limited time offer and it kept going away and coming back. I would always go A LOT when it showed back up. So glad it seems to be a stable staple now.

Oh! And fwiw - they actually sell the Fiesta sauce in some grocery stores now… that is one of the key ingredients that makes it so good. That sauce goes well on/in so many things.

Cursing and not cursing will both get you pretty much no reaction here.

But… if you self censor curse words with f*** or s***… some lemmings lose their $#!+!

I enjoyed uprising. It deserved a sequel too though, and was clearly leading to things it didn’t get to wrap up sadly. Well worth watching anyway though.

Hmmm… maybe I am a horse…

Me too, because after I posted that, I also remembered his monologue about how if you steal $100M in bearer bonds they will find you unless they think you are dead.

So yeah, I don’t remember if it was discussed but I think McClane just sped up the timetable for getting the authorities involved. They definitely tried to keep it quiet at first though.

But also, Mr Takagi was murdered before John had done anything, IIRC.

The FBI ultimately getting involved was always a part of Gruber’s plan. Couldn’t bypass the last lock on the safe without them cutting the power.
