    I love chatty cats.

    What I don’t love is how mine will harass me excessively as I’m preparing for work. He’ll just scream at me to let him out, like, fuck you man I still have like 10 minutes of showering and making coffee and shit you can go outside when I leave. This is how it is every day.

    Yes, I know you shouldn’t let your cat outside, but he’s at least 10 years old, he’s set in his ways, he will unleash hell if impounded.


  • Well, “Quisling” refers to a Norwegian army officer and politician named Vidkun Quisling who collaborated with the Nazi German occupation during World War II, or, more generally, the term has come to mean a traitor who collaborates with an enemy. After Germany invaded Norway in 1940, he established an illegal, Nazi-backed government, which led to his name becoming synonymous with treachery after he was convicted of treason and executed in 1945.

    How about that, seems pretty fitting…











  • I’m not defending this practice because it’s remarkably awful but I will note that I have a router that lets me monitor the traffic that individual devices use and most smart devices like this actually use incredibly small amounts of bandwidth. Our smart water tank uses ~10 MB a month which is smaller than most images.

    And yes I do think a smart water tank is valid because it can do shit like tell me when it thinks it’s about to explode or leak or whatever and it can also like, be remote controlled, and it has a heat pump which is nice.





  • This reminds me of how my speakers work.

    I have a 3.5mm jack for my speakers that converts to an RCA jack at the end, I also have T-intersection that goes between an amplifier and the RCA jack to intercept the signal and send it BACK to a set of desktop speakers.

    Why? Bootleg surround sound, I know it’s just stereo, but hey, more speakers! Also it sounds better, and it can get louder.
