So... We lost one of our cats last October and after he was missing for a few days we found him dead on a relatively nearby road. We buried him and mourned. Today, we got a call from a vet 30 minutes north of the city. They found our cat. Survived outdoors 8+ months through a Canadian winter. We buried someone else's cat that looked exactly like ours. Brushed an entire second cat out of him, he's definitely had a rough time with missing some fur around his neck, called our vet to make a house call as soon as possible, and we'll be giving him deworming meds. Thankful he's back.

I am so loving pissed with my university. Been enrolled in a (online) comprehensive exams class all semester (8wks), and there is nothing in it. No assignments, nothing on the calendar, nada. I've asked where assignments are, no reply. Last week-ish, amessage addressed to all the students appears in my inbox, from the prof, that details where the assignments are. Cool. I go look...no due date. I immediately reply to the message asking when stuff is due. No reply, I get sick and held up with other duties at work (hey I get to help play head of school and academic dean...). I get a message today, another one addressed to everyone saying that comps are due tomorrow. Lolfuckyou if you think I'm dropping everything and getting it done tonight. It'll get done when it gets done (i.e. early next week) and they better accept it.

Cats are sometimes insanely resilient assholes. My cat growing up was a tiny little thing, definately the runt of her litter. You'd worry about her getting in a fight with anything, even though she was a vicious ball of hate when provoked. She disappeared in an area surrounded by several busy roadways and we wrote her off after a month of searching. She managed to survive a texas winter, spring and summer before showing back up to the house and meowing to be let in like she always did. She was alot thinner and needed several mats cut out of her fur, but overall healthy. Loved that cuddly rear end in a top hat.

So in H-Mart last week, GF mentioned this is supposed to be really spicy, and that there's a lot of challenges on YouTube with people that can't handle it. So of course I said I had to have it. It's pretty loving tasty! Definitely has a lot of fire, but I want to pick up the "2X" version now. Found some of the videos of people crying while eating this one and had a pretty good chuckle.

You guys ever get too close to a (literal) crow's nest? Valet and bartender at the restaurant I was picking up from thought it was pretty drat funny when I got dive bombed. Fuckers tried to get a piece of my hair, thankfully it was tied back (they caught it ahead of the hair band, so I just felt the tug instead of them actually yanking any out). I don't think I've run that fast in at least 5 years. Crows can eat a bag of dicks. Bartender said I was the 4th one they'd gone after that day; valet said he'd seen more, but they hadn't made physical contact with anyone until me.

Bajaha posted:So... We lost one of our cats last October and after he was missing for a few days we found him dead on a relatively nearby road. We buried him and mourned. One of my parents' cats went missing for 3-4 weeks once. We thought she'd been hit by a car and killed, which has happened to a number of our cats over the years. It turned out that she had been hit by a car, broke her pelvis and basically camped under a bush or something for those couple of weeks, until it healed and she could limp back home We took her to the vet, and she was perfectly fine, just very hungry. He figured probably my parents' other cat was bringing her food or something, for her to hold out for so long. She's very apprehensive about going too far from the house now, and she's got two permanent white spots of fur on her hips, but otherwise she's as good as she's ever been. The whole "cats have 9 lives" thing isn't too far off the mark, I think.

Somewhat Heroic posted:I was told watch the first five minutes to establish the cars/owners and ffwd to the last ten minutes and it’s decent. The problem with establishing the owners is that they're all toolbags. So much bragging about street racing. So much doing this to "prove" whatever (prove my car's the best, prove to my kids I can do this, prove to my dead buddy up in heaven, prove girls can drive too). They also change the rules with no explanation; in episode 1, the guy running the race said a false start means a re-race. In episode 3, he said a false start is a DQ... and then the supercar & the fastest of the sleepers false-started, disqualifying themselves. I think Netflix decides who they want to win (or at least, who they want to lose) and set up the competition based on that, either by making entrants submit 1/4 mile times and grouping based on that, or by just doing multiple runs until they get the winner they want. The winner is almost always the least douchey one. There have been two supercar drivers who weren't tremendous shitheads, and they both won: a photographer who borrowed the car from a client, and an older woman who does a lot of racing (I called that she'd win 30 seconds into her first appearance on the episode). The first ep was won by a guy in a wheelchair with a heartwarming story. Also in one of the episodes, one racer shows up with his car on a trailer, everybody talks like he's trying to keep it extra secret... but no, turns out he just couldn't get it running because it had a burned out ECU. Why the gently caress would you bother trailering your poo poo all the way from LA to Barstow if you know for a fact you can't race? There's a lot of poo poo that stinks of Netflix interfering.

iwentdoodie posted:Also, is it weird to cut drywall and insulate the back of it to put over attic entrances? House has 2, both covered with paper thin board that just loving radiates heat into the rooms (bathroom and a closet). My only idea was to cut the drywall to fit, and add some sort of sticky insulation to the back just to cut down on thermal losses. The way it's done for stairs, for example, is to put a box made of foam insulation board over the attic side, creating an air gap. There are actually kits, but just cutting up a sheet of styrofoam board works. Same idea should work on your type, or, yeah, just add a couple of layers of styrofoam board to the back of the hatch. I have stairs in the house that I added because the only entrance to the attic when we moved in is the hole-with-a-panel type in the garage, and it was only the width between ceiling joists in the lowest part of the attic with the most difficult access to stuff. I need to build an insulating box for the stairs, but the other one is in the garage, so, meh. In fact, the hatch on mine is a piece of foam-core with a 2x4 off-cut screwed to it for weight (it was being sucked into the attic when the wind blew, which I guess means I have good ventilation.) slidebite posted:What is almost certainly a simple stunt by some student Engineers, police and politicians are "puzzled" and THANK GOD NOBODY GOT HURT Ugh. No, all it takes is someone who knows how to read charts and knows how much the car weighs. "It's just a lucky thing that it [was] dangling there, over something where there isn't a developed neighbourhood or a school or a public park." Er, no, they chose that spot *because* there was nothing to fall on, most likely. God, you humorless ninnies. I mean, they took the time to remove all the glass, interior, and drivetrain. I bet it had no fluids in it either (mainly due to lack of drivetrain...) QuarkMartial posted:I am so loving pissed with my university.

God forbid there should be a reality show that is actually reality. Always got to be loving around making poo poo more dramatic or whatever. Like Orange County Choppers or whatever the gently caress with hot rods - I'd watch the poo poo out of them if they were actually about building the thing, rather than all the bullshit with the owner and employees. 'S why I watch Tavarish and B is for Build (though he does some cringe-worthy poo poo.) They're building stuff, and talking about that. Heck, even Overhaulin' was mostly about the build, as terrible as the result might have been.
