I lost my kitty last year. Was very close to her as well. I don't believe in ghosts but I think her ghost visited me in a dream shortly after she died. I'll miss her forever.

This is so funny

EDIT:

One recipe it dubbed “aromatic water mix” would create chlorine gas. The bot recommends the recipe as “the perfect nonalcoholic beverage to quench your thirst and refresh your senses”.

"Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing fragrance,” it says, but does not note that inhaling chlorine gas can cause lung damage or death.

😆 😆

There's literally no way to know...

Should Elvis really be vilified for liking blues and rock music and playing it himself? How does that hurt anyone?

Like should we be pissed at Django Reihnhardt? Or R.A The Rugged Man? What about Japanese bagpipe players?

Not anyone. You have to be rich.

Pretty amazing story eh? Imagine what his winters were like, for so many years! Peculiar guy.

This guy is such a shitheel but sending him to pre-trial detention for speaking to the media and framing that as "indirect witness intimidation" seems pretty questionable to me.

This should be higher up

This is very cool. My partner works on documenting and preserving languages and I spent a bunch of time recently learning how to create xkbd layouts to get that shit working on Linux. Like the fonts are important but so are the keyboard mappings.

Unicode is a really cool thing.

Debian has always worked pretty easily for me on ThinkPads. I guess it depends what you're trying to run it on.

I'm sorry, that's really hard. I lost my cat at a hard time last year when I was under a lot of stress and I cried quite a bit. Only thing I've cried about in years. He knows that you love him and that you're there for him.

 

I love this song. A couple times a year I pull it up and brings a tear to my eye every time. I bet you can guess the part if you listen to it. It's a compositional masterpiece in several layers. It grooves like a motherfucker, it's got sick riffs, it's got brilliant metaphor, and the lyrics are real as fuck. And it's a medley fer christ's sakes.
