The picture doesn't show scale very well. This furry bastard is 19 pounds of cuddles that basically inserts himself into the bed between the wife and I at night, even if that means standing on top of us with four paws dividing up his weight and waiting until one of us rolls out of his way.

Naked Bear posted:Have any of you guys watched The OA? Just finished it... not sure what to think after figuring it out at the end. I can't really think of a better phrase to address the series than "It tried too hard". Kudos to them for giving it a good effort, but it just got too weird with people trying to prevent a tragedy by doing angry tai chi at each other.

Alzheimers is the god drat worst. Years on an ambulance so I saw some poo poo and it didn't bother me, even the periodic mental reviews of mortality and thinking "that could be me" weren't bad when it was physical stuff like losing a leg or something. Like, sure it would really suck and all but I would still be ME to deal with the suck. Five minutes in an Alzheimers ward and I would be skeeved the gently caress out for DAYS. I can seriously not get one patient out of my head because as we're bundling her up for transport she asks me who I am and I answer her, then she asks the woman next to me and the answer was the most depressed, mechanical "I'm your daughter mom".

Blend up bananas with your pancake mix. Or mash them but make sure you mash them really well, banana lumps don't cook well and take away from enjoying banana-y flavor throughout the entire pancake.

Wife has a subscription to Prime and has been trying to get me to watch their shows. I'm still catching up on Netflix after two and a half weeks of rebuilding my desktop in between work days. Castlevania was awesome, looking forward to more of that. Glow is next, Agents of Shield to catch up on. Once I'm done, what's good on Prime?

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:I see external SSDs for storage aren't really into the affordable range yet. Just rebuilt my desktop since the last motherboard poo poo the bed after 9 years. It listed M.2 storage capability that I had never heard of before. Looked into it and it's some pretty wild poo poo. Nowhere near affordable of course, it's basically a stick of SSD memory you plug directly into the motherboard for obscenely fast read speeds.

Mr. Mambold posted:What did you get? *asking for a friend* My desktop is about 8 years old, and I've recently replaced the power supply, soundcard (which was causing a bluescreen on bootup, but worked fine if I ever could boot in- who knew?) and video card. The power supply shorted so hard, it blitzed the UPS it was plugged into. ASUS Maximus IX and Intel I7 7600 I think? Phone posting from work so it's all off memory. Also got a ThermalTake processor fan that is absurdly quiet and loving that. Last one was almost identical to a case fan, just strapped to a heat sink and would sound like a turbine spinning up. New system worked for the weekend then the similarly aged power supply poo poo itself on Monday so I'm waiting on more parts. Wouldn't be surprised if that caused the old mobo to die either. I liked it for what I got to do with it over the weekend and the overclocking tools are really cool. I will be tinkering with them for weeks probably. Do need to get into BIOS and turn off all the ridiculous LEDs all over the motherboard.

Comcast usually does that too but it involves dealing with Comcast customer support so it really is a question of how much you think your time is worth.

If it's Comcast do not not not at all ever use their loving modems. That Xfinity poo poo is piggy backing on your network to give them free coverage and capacity. Even if it had 100% physically isolated hardware I'd still be bugging the gently caress out about security implications but it'll be a cold day in hell before I believe those cheap fuckers would pay extra for that. As far as I'm concerned any network with a router running Xfinity is compromised from the ground up and you're paying for the privilege. gently caress anything Comcast says to the contrary, they don't give a rotting rat's rear end about you or your security.

Bullshit app gets uninstalled right out of the box and I never loving sign in with a mobile device. I don't even let MY google account touch my phone. Phones get a completely fake gmail address I made for that and that alone. Probably still doesn't work and call me paranoid but screw it, shits scary.

Assuming there's no value evaluation like "Is the letter/number within A == to this" or something and A, B and C are all true/false within themselves then I'd just go forcode:

OK so you are comparing values within A, B and C and they're not strictly boolean true/false. Nested parenthesis, I tend to space them out a lot to make sure I can wrap my head around it. Can get crazy complicated if you let it run away with youcode:

tastefully arranged labia posted:Mao is pretty pissed at me. I noticed she had a dried up dingleberry lodged just far enough in her few to be a PITA. So I kind of hold her with my upper arm while holding the dingleberry with a paper towel and scissors in the other hand to cut off a bit of fur. She wouldn't have any of it, and bolted off leaving me with the dingleberry and a bunch of fur she ripped out in her escape. Mission successful I guess. Pictured, one angry cat: Long hair cat owner solidarity. We have a really tiny pair of scissors (wife calls them cuticle scissors like I'm supposed to know what that means) and they really help with this. Also making it a two-person lightly armored job but if that isn't your default condition in dealing with an unhappy cat you have nobody to blame but yourself.
