Oh SIGH

<rant>

Why is it that every time I learn about some interesting new tool or application & I go to see about getting it, the doc says something like "just install using 'blorko'" or some other random tool I never heard of & the build requires you to use 'zorbluck' and 'goofgo' or some other such random make system with a scrabble name?

And when I cave and go to grab one or the other of these build/install tools IT needs a yet another one of these

Every damned time

</rant>

Just: NOPE

@mathling on a good day, the interesting new package has self contained binary releases - do you feel lucky?

@mathling *checks to see if "zorbluck" domain name is available*

You'll take that heated cat bed from her cold dead paws

Dusty assures you that this is completely dignified. How dare you suggest he looks silly.

Dusty enjoys his afternoon "stroll" in the garden. Having scouted all the places he's ever seen a lizard, he rests near the catmint. He only goes out on supervised walks, but he does so love them.

"Spuds" as he came to be known. A mellow cat beyond belief. He started life on the streets, but was utterly inept at taking care of himself. He almost lost an eye, a leg, his tail. He did end up with a smashed jaw and a snaggle-tooth.

After taking him in for emergency care the *third* week in a row (for a "cat-engine interface" event, as the coworker who called us described it), we just adopted him.

No regrets.

For the record, this was my brother's idea

Halki sleeps. That bowl is a foot across. She is *tiny*.

If you saw this cat, you'd think she was a half-grown kitten. Friends, we have had this cat in our house for a year and a half since we scooped her away from the country park, and she has not grown a bit. (Well, she's plumped up, that's it.)

Look at her cute little toe beans! Look at her cute stubby tail! Look at her adorable flame points! Her silky fur! (Pfeh! Spit it out, it gets everywhere.)

🎶 Our house, is a very very very fine house with two cats in the yard...

Tux and Zoozvi, a couple of homeless waifs who have taken up residence under the deck. Tux is back hobbling on 3 legs, this time favouring his front paw. He gets into scrapes, poor lad.

A little bonus #mosstodon action

Hence the song lyric “turtle eclipse of the heart”.

I thought i was 4 giant elephants standing on the backs of 4 giant turtles but I never did find out what the turtles are standing on.

@mathling this is a lunar eclipse. So not fitting the solar eclipse day. #nitpicking
