Put a small binder clip between the d-rings and cut the stupid rubber grommet thing off, it still allows adjustment but holds it with enough tension and now I can use it to walk my cat otherwise sketchy places cause he can't wriggle out of it if he panics. Like this:

SPERMCUBE.ORG posted:While I understand and agree with your point, claiming that Chris had an idea is a little generous. He had an inkling, at best a notion. Yeah; seeing a bunch of old game developers getting crowdfunding to reboot beloved titles from the '80s and '90s and thinking, "Hey, I made games back then, too, and I also like money!" isn't much of a brainstorm. That's more chutzpah than anything else; possibly borderline delusional, given how badly he hosed up at Digital Anvil.

All that talk about how to spawn ships at Parp Olisar reminds me, didn't they also state that the hangar module will be integrated to the PU? So that you'd launch in your chariot from the hangar out into the 'verse? Didn't people pay real $$$ for fancy hangars? It has been awfully quiet about that, same for the social module.

Why in the gently caress did crytek agree to give crobberts a special deal on licensing fees? He had nothing to show, no proof of concept, so what made them think that star citizen would be such a blockbuster that they needed to be involved?

As soon as my long-gone cat touched the harness, she would go completely limp and refuse to move a muscle until that poo poo was out of sight. Adventure cat she was not.

ewe2 posted:Thanks for this, I've been mourning my recently deceased kitty and your kitty posts make me a bit more I can only say: do it! Not only do you get a new catte-friend, but it also helps dealing with the loss, imo. I know that it feels "wrong", because one thinks it's a betrayal to the old friend and that people fear to "forget" their old friend over the newfound joy with the new catte, but my experience is that this doesn't happen. It's more like you'll tell your new catte-friend all the time of it's great predecessor. I helped me tremendously after my first cat ate rat poison when she was ten and died in my arms on the way to the vet. I felt awful for weeks, and didn't want another cat, but one day, a friend called and told me there is a small orange feline fellow who doesn't get fed by his mother and is close to dying, so I got that little worm and I don't know if a single week passed since then where I didn't tell him about his awesome "mother" and how she only made half the mess he does etc. He's now 14, so all is well

History Comes Inside! posted:Who the gently caress walks a cat I did, without a harness for years late at night when ever I wanted to go out and smoke a joint. I once got stop by the police who asked me what I was doing "walking my cat" which was up somebody's drive and could not be seen, I said. Policemen ask me a few more questions and then started telling me things about where I lived... I was all WTF, how do they know that, cops must have a master computer that knows all! Turns out he was our new neighbour who moved in 2 weeks earlier. He obviously knew I smoke weed because I would sometime smoke in the bake yard. Anyway, walking cats is good.

Codezombie posted:Really weird. When I got my very first catte, it was from someone who found it in their garage one day, and it refused to leave. Also wasn't listed as "missing". It was an old couple, very nice people, who couldn't care for it due to a) having a dog b) beeing allergic to cattes. The day I got there to pick it up, the old lady showered me with plenty of stuff she bought for the cat....food, toys, and of course a harness with a leash. "Please take good care of that little thing, and only walk it with the leash, the world is dangerous", she said. It really was a lovely old couple. I tried putting that harness on once, I lost about half a liter of blood. From that day on, the harness was put on the cat-tree, dangling down, and the cat played the poo poo out of it.... that's my story

It's like Blanka learned Chun Li's Hyakuretsu Kyaku at max turbo-settings.

We put a harness on Biscuit and take her outside sometimes, because she gets super jealous when Kayak gets to go out.  But I'd be worried about just letting her go outside on her own because she's an idiot who would almost immediately get killed by something.

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards. Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will. Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect. However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps. Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection. All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever. Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed. Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable. Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average. Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule. Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed. The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.
