The weird shit helps. Just trimmed she still causes damage, soft paws she doesn’t.

Someone took their wingerprint

When my cat was a kitten, I played with her paws and claws regularly to get her used to it. After a few weeks of that I had no problem clipping her nails. I don’t think she likes it but she tolerates it and gets loves when we’re done.

I also glue “soft paws” to her claws because she loves to destroy carpets and furniture despite the cat trees and our efforts to deter her.

Something bitter and not too sweet, whatever they have. At home I make bourbon and soda with a splash of orange bitters or change it up with a different spirit.

I like bitter and don’t really like sweet. Adding club soda makes the drink stretch farther and reduces dehydration. If I order drinks neat I drink them too fast, drink too many, and end up paying for it with my wallet and my headache.

I would say that never goes away, but when the decisions change from “house or food” to “camper or boat” etc.

On the flip side, it is so cold here that room temp butter is not quite spreadable.

Wonderbread, bologna, processed american cheese food, and miracle whip. Mana from heaven!

Half right. Warm ketchup tastes better but it does spoil faster. It’s ok for a bit thanks to the salt and vinegar, but definitely not the life of the bottle.

I’m gonna go the other way. The only marketing I acknowledge is factual reporting of design features that make a product suitable for the intended task. Anything else is dishonest and manipulative.

Think of Chris Cooper’s character from Interstate 50. Any marketing claim must be specific, measurable, verifiable, and accurate.

I use pocket app to save online recipes I like for later use. It is searchable and a separate list than my bookmarks which I like.

That is an interesting idea that is not typically considered in the drake equation as far as I know. That could significantly reduce the chance of finding intelligent life elsewhere.

I got pretty good at pulling sql data together from multiple tables using joins at a prior job, but no job before or since had data that easily accessible.

Is that CGP Grey?

A reminder of your failure to clear the time. Clever feedback loop.

Sounds like you’re talking about Deming’s PDCA cycle. That helps you achieve your goals but you have to define your goals/metrics appropriately. If we want to reduce environmental impact, that has to be one of our goals with a representative measurement.

A lot of southern things were co-opted from blacks. It’s called soul food for a reason.

Hammer fizz is the best but it is low sugar.
