Checker at PetSmart asked if I wanted a bag for the cat treats and then looked horrified when I said, "No, I'm going to eat them on the way home." No sense of humor.

Mina's staying hydrated. She's insisted on using the same water glasses as everyone else since she came to live here.

I can totally relate.
Porch cat let me use the grooming glove that my inside cats hate, and wow did she need it.

@flexghost@mastodon.social Not sure if The Kinks count as British Invasion since they got banned by the American Federation of Musicians for years. Here's You Really Got Me.

Just when I thought I was getting ahead on the tomatoes, the plants were all, "TF you are."

@RikerGoogling Battlestar Galactica of course. It's a nod to the Twelve Colonies getting roasted so badly all you could taste was the soot.
Oh wow, this is straight out of some hard science fiction.
Porch cat has intensified her lobbying efforts toward getting promoted to indoor cat by sitting and staring at the back door.

@book It's the knife from one of these sets.
The porch cat found out where I work.
Hey WIRED, why am I getting advance payment scam emails from an email address alias that only you should have?

@flexghost@mastodon.social My mom's having me track down old beach movies from the 50s, so this comes to mind. Doing Pyrat Rum and Mexican Coke tonight (Coca-Cola, not the other one).

@johnny One left field suggestion that I always found a lot better played HOTAS was the MechWarrior series.

@Pineywoozle@masto.ai Yeah, I always get snickers at the corollary to this joke when I'm buying wine and say, "I thought that was only for drinking it in the parking lot" when they ask if I want a sleeve.

@adhdeanasl@beige.party Had to do a double take and read that again because I totally read that as "Mothra's Day" the first time through.

@futurebird@sauropods.win The bit about "will not die or suffer any huge health impacts" really sells it for me, because that means I could try to ride around the house on the cat.

@flexghost@mastodon.social That one from the 80s? I haven't.

@flexghost@mastodon.social I'll toss it on the pile of things to watch. Working through all the Guillermo del Toro films ATM.
I know I shouldn't expect much from supermarket tomatoes, but FFS, they should not be crunchy.

I wish I had a white flag to put out on the flagpole for confederacy surrender day. Maybe I'll order one for next year.

@tuban_muzuru@ohai.social @paninid@mastodon.world After the worst of COVID, our sales department mandated that everyone in sales come back to the office and then our COO that issued that mandate immediately started to incessantly complain about the traffic again. Like he wasn't capable of putting 2 and 2 together on that.

Finally got around to unpacking a box in the closet from the last time I moved and found some chocolate covered cherries. Best by June 8 2015 confirmed.

@Zenie@piaille.fr This sounds kind of like a DNS problem - new ISP, probably new DNS came with it. I'd check to see if setting a private DNS server helps.

@paninid@mastodon.world But the gibberish "corrections" are hilarious.
Just spent almost an hour on hold with Continental Tire's rebate center to be told that all of their systems are down and all of their pending rebates just got auto-declined. The rep I talked to didn't say it was #AI, but I have very, very, strong suspicions...

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social We had a database come through work that had a field for "batch count" that was abbreviated at "btchcnt".

@GrimmReality@beige.party TBH I don't think I'd notice the difference. I pretty much stopped shopping there when they cut their staff to the bone. It's difficult enough finding employees there, let alone getting within 10 feet of one.
Mmmmm... jarred omelets. WTF, Home Depot?

@elizabethtasker@mastodon.online When we were looking at Slack alternatives at work, the two that we gave serious consideration to were Mattermost and Rocket.chat. I remember both of them being fairly reasonably priced.
