Printed a new Little Ghost with a ghost cat pet #3dprinting #cats #spoopy #halloween

I know I'm a definite outlier weirdo, but I miss the short period when I had a Palm Pre and I was hacking on WebOS with diff, patch, and quilt using my webdev skills to make my phone do neat things.

@docpop Good job on the corners 👍

"Come join our exciting company!"

"We know we listed the job as remote, but actually we're doing at least 25% time in the office as hybrid with a goal of 75% by end of year."

Moving? In this economy? For a company that's just as likely to lay me off before I finish unpacking? Hahahahah, go fish

Not for nothin but I just downloaded a 5.1GB archive of my data from GitHub. Accidentally twice, but at least I really have it now

Just got a call from the girl that our queen cat Cheddars is at the emergency vet with what looks like catastrophic kidney failure and no good prognosis. I'm a very long drive away and she probably won't be with us by the time I get home.

I have a flight home Friday, trying to decide if I could / should rent a car or find a bus to get home asap if only so my wife doesn't have to deal with the aftermath alone

Cheddars is gone. I'm on my way to the airport to catch a bus. Trying not to be a mess on public transit

So, I'm on a flight for a work trip from Portland to Seattle. It's only like a 40 minute trip.

As soon as we take off, the guy next to me produces a bag of shredded cheese and proceeds to absolutely house it. Just relentless fistfuls of Monterey Jack shoveled into his mouth. Emptied the whole thing in time to hand it off to a flight attendant before landing.

Update: the boys are touching paws #cats

Like, screw football, show me trade folks hustling with tools

Just discovered this 2023 Plumbing National Championship, it's like a cross between How It's Made and This Old House and sports I might actually watch?

@evan I've made one of those before! They can be very tasty

@cwebber Some of us are both of those and also work for Mozilla :blobcatupsidedown:

Y'know, bunny digestive systems are dumb.

Pulled an all-nighter with my wife trying to get one of our bunnies to eat. Turns out sometimes they just decide to stop eating. And then their digestive system stops digesting and fills up with gas. And then they keel over fast, like sometimes in a matter of hours.

That bunny is now at the emergency vet and we are tired. Signs are hopeful, but he's not out of the woods yet.

Our current pair of bunnies, Lord Butterscotch (the patient) and Lady Buttercream (his patient wife) are approximately 10 years old. We're fuzzy on the timeline.

They've done very very well for bunnies, came along with us through several house and cross-country moves. We're hoping they do very well for awhile yet.

Positive bunny news: Lord Butterscotch's body temperature is up - a good thing, since it had fallen precipitously and he's been in an incubator since last night

And though he hasn't eaten anything voluntarily yet, he's getting fluids and food and meds administered. An xray shows that things are moving in his gut, which hopefully means he's headed in a mend-ward direction.

Word is he's staying one more night and hopefully discharged tomorrow morning.

This is the sad be-coned face of Lord Butterscotch, who nonetheless has nibbled and pooped under his own power and is coming home in about an hour
