If a house cat is a felis cattus, what would a plush cat be? felis puppa? Felis pulis? Something else?

I know that the only things I do at work that wouldn't run on the first computer I ever bought (in 2002) are:
1) use Slack
2) use Miro
3) use Kumospace (a video chat hellhole)
Everything else would have been just as easy on that old Pentium 3

Well, uh, I guess Dell just burned all of their good will.
They place a meeting in my calendar, and then when I rejected it, they did it again. Tried to claim we already had a business relationship.

@Patch Arcana Yeah, but I don't think this sales person *wanted* that relationship.
And yeah - their email is /dev/nulled

@taco, bird/cat :verified420: you're allowed to like both
But I think there's some level of empathy with Scott that gets lost if you didn't spend your whole life stuck in school until 22, Scott's inability to be a whole adult feels very tied up in that, and I think a lot of people kinda mess that up trying to empathize with him
I just got an invite for a meeting at "Wednesday 10-11" and I was like "wait, isn't that in the past.
The fact that it was next week dawned on me a second later. That tells you everything you need to know about my meeting schedules

Made mini loaves of bread and whipped cream into butter for lunch. Added some brie and cheddar and some basic vegetables.
Next time I need to whip in some garlic to the butter

My least favourite trope in media is that you need a more powerful computer to hack something.
"I need a half billion gigs of RAM to hack this system!"

@Titan Up the Defense You brought up the Unwear On The Outside thing on a recent episode
Somewhere in this channel https://www.youtube.com/user/skunkap Chris told me that it was because it made Superman look like a Circus Strong Man, and the strong men wore them because when lifting big heavy things their pants split a lot.
Imagine you were lifting a tank over your head and your pants split!
ComicTropes
Analysis of comics, both good and bad. Primarily I look at the recurring elements that creators or characters use. It's all just an excuse to drill down on various techniques and comic book history.YouTube

Has anyone written a Magical Kitties Save The Day hometown for Gabny's Doll House? Asking for the kids in my life

I feel like there's new bad movies I should watch but I don't have time to watch *movies*. I watch TV shows while I do projects in the evening sometimes, but that's it.
I still haven't seen any Neil Breen
@Craig P I am a pretty seasoned bad movie type from my 20s, but kids killed it.
But yeah, I'm excited to be able to get a bad movie group together again in my life
What's your excuse for not listening to this year's Tales From The Haunted Disco Barn?!
Like many podcasts they don't have a website, but I made that site for them as a joke
But they are here! @Titan Up the Defense
I feel like I've been hit by a truck, which is the best I've felt all week
Schools are a terror
(And our kid masks at school, and we tested negative for COVID, likely just flu)
People keep talking about Kagi being cool and good - but it turns out they're just AI scum?
https://help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/kagi-ai.html
The reason to move of DDG is that DDG is AI scum, that doesn't seem like Kagi is better?
I didn't know that about DDG.
So we're basically completely losing the ability to search for information on the Internet.

It's basically the same as Kagi's

Hey guys - random question: do we have anyone who might have VBA (I'm assuming that would be the required language) scripting capability?
I think this is the actual worst question I can get on a Monday morning

I run more than a half dozen VMs and a bunch of jails on a home server
I play video games
I have been asked to work on building and training LLMs as part of a work project
The most computationally intensive thing I do in a week: attend a meeting and open the collaboration tools
Apparently https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atlasgames/infunity-tiles?result=project&term=atlas%20games is worried about funding
These things look cool as hell, infinite puzzles are fun as hell, and games trying to figure out how to ethically and safely use and reuse plastic is cool

Employer has decided they need to "Build an LLM" in order to be "a leader in AI"
I feel like a baby playacting business.
