Clearly you are just trolling, we all know a cat would just immediately start batting at the mouse itself if it found the cord gone.

Cassie is so lazy she'd just use it as a pillow instead. Just like she always has.

Or flop down on it, start purring and fall asleep so you feel bad if you try and move it... Or fall asleep on your keyboard. You really can't win.

This, however, is very likely. I cannot win. Except by petting the cat that lives on my mousepad.

What kind of gun is that for? I look at it and think maybe like an AR-15, but do they make those in .308? I don't really know guns.

Really good eye for someone who doesn't know guns! It's an "AR" pattern rifle but in .308

If you need 18 inches to penetrate the bush, maybe you should invest in a trimmer

A fantastic meal at Tiffins at Disney's Animal Kingdom for my wife's birthday. She is a pastry chef at Animal Kingdom so her friends made this meal extra special for us.

Sure is, also has a lovely soft 14ct gold nib. I couldn't help myself and gave it a dip test after I'd cleaned out all the old ink and removed the sac.

Modern high end pens are still made from resin, like this Visconti Homo Sapiens or anything Mont Blanc produces.

I used a Kensington Turbo Mouse 20 years ago. Back then they were popular enough you could buy all kinds replacement balls. I think mine was an 8 ball.

Yep! If you ever lose or break the ball part, a generic pool ball is about as close as you can get to an appropriately sized replacement without ordering a new mouse. Don't ask me why I know this.

You see these in recording studios everywhere because the scrollwheel + ball combo allows really easy and granular scrubbing forward and backward along tracks, and you can macro-assign important commands like cut/crossfade to the big buttons and just tappity-tap your way through editing, one hand on the keyboard for your tab, F, R and T keys, the other on the mouse for scrubbing, cutting and aligning to grid. I used one for long enough in that context that anything else feels silly to me now.

The only crap thing about them is that all the cruft and lint and dead horrible gross things that come from your hands (you dirty, dirty person) settle inside very easily. It pays to have a canned air canister.

I really like the wireless G602 that I posted about on October 12th. I have it on endurance mode with low polling and have never felt the delay even in games like CS:GO. It was the only reason I could use my mouse hand when I broke my right arm. I only remember to turn it off like 20% of the nights and it has lasted on one battery until this week. It gives you plenty of warning, so keeping one rechargeable battery and charging every couple months is not bad at all.

Also that's a nice car.

Here's some content: this lil' cutie percussion thing! It's like a closed hi-hat/clap dealy made out of a wood block and a strip of old cymbal bronze, and you can mount it on top of another cymbal, or wherever you want I guess. It's even got a tiny little bell on it. I like big smashy hi-hats anyway so having a tighter, clickier sounding piece is super awesome.

It actually gives you too much warning, because the battery is probably good for another 2-3 weeks form when it starts telling you it's low.

Not in the US; they lag way behind crossovers, which doesn't make sense to me because mine and the Outback sit as high or higher than most crossovers, have way more cargo space, and drive better than most crossovers. Plus the AWD system on the Outback is miles better than anything out there, and the 4Motion isn't half bad.

You sit higher in crossovers, so getting in and out is a lot easier if you're old or :btroll:, and I guess you see better if the road is full of other crossovers, SUVs and pickups. But yeah the handling and fuel economy are poo poo.
