Just remember “the Ian knot” and you’ll always be able to find it. His entire site is an internet throwback, I learned the quick shoelace knot back in something like 2002.

Fun fact, basically all of the US Russian Blue stock was cross bred with Siamese lines during WW2 to prevent inbreeding. Almost all of them carry recessive color point genes so you’ll see lavender point kittens out of purebred RB breeding occasionally.

None of them. You don’t have Russian blues in this image, hands down they’re some of the best cats.

I’ll believe it when I see it

Murderbot is a really fun read, I picked the series up a year or two ago and thoroughly enjoyed it

Start leaving information about trains out for them and see if they bite

The best we can do is a 4th straight year of record profits

Looks like someone had information that threatened a large investment

It’s not even much of a skill anymore now that there’s so much focus on natural language question and answer. You can straight up Google “how do I X?” And get a relevant answer for just about anything.

If DARE is any indication they’ll come home and start crying that their dad is clearly a Communist and should be in rehab because he supports unions once a day

(My brother was convinced that our father was an alcoholic because he frequently had a single beer after work)

I recently read Titanium Noir and enjoyed it quite a bit too, that’s another good one.

I just read Naam Ramez’ Nexus series recently and loved it. It’s high tech near future stuff, you might also like Daniel Suarez and Linda Nagata as well as William Gibson or Neil Stephenson.

Welp. I guess we’re going mask off on our foreign propaganda now too.

Yes, yes it can.
