Prey drive is no joke. My sister has a heeler/corgi mix, and taking her for a walk is an exercise in not dislocating your arm whenever she spots a small animal. She’s adorabloodthirsty.

Oddly her other dog, a heeler/pit mix, is super chill with no apparent prey drive whatsoever. I’m pretty sure you could hold a baby bird in front of his face and he’d just sniff at it dumbly with his tail wagging.

Having owned a beagle, its brain looked more like the cat image but with “murder” replaced with more food “not food, but I’ll eat it anyway”.

Dogs think about food when they’re hungry, or when food is present. Cats will stand on you and complain for hours because their food bowl is only 90% full and they’d really prefer it to be 100% full at all times, please and thank you.

The suggestions for email addresses if yours was already taken used to include what you entered plus the last two digits of your birth year. I wonder how many people born in 1988 followed that advice and now deeply regret it.

Though you could do an identical meme with Games Workshop and Blizzard. There were so many people back in the day that didn’t know Warhammer 40k had been around for over a decade when StarCraft released.

And then the same thing happened again when Dawn of War was released.

“In English, please?”

Is the answer Linux? Because I feel like the answer is Linux.

I know it’s basically impossible, but I wish practical suspend/resume game functionality would make it to Windows.

Did you look them up just because of their username?

With Steam Link you can play on the Deck and have the quality and power of the $2,000 PC. Valve spoils us.

And as a bonus, the taste of magnesium citrate doesn’t make you gag like the prescription stuff.

There’s a much cheaper model, the Zero, that’s good enough for messing around with and performing simple server tasks like PiHole. Even it has had its price increase multifold over the years, though only to fifteen bucks from an original price of five.

It’s also much smaller than the already tiny Pi, being able to fit in a standard orange pill bottle. Though the downside of that size is smaller and fewer ports, so you need a USB OTG adapter (preferably a hub) and micro HDMI adapter to plug things into it if you don’t want to run it headless.

Whole wheat? No, wheat hole.

He had a stroke a decade ago and never fully recovered.

If it were ten minutes of this, I could see the appeal.

It was a literal RPG in the Xbox 360 version of Sims 3, with direct control of your Sims and everything. You could swap back to the classic overhead view and let them do their own thing at any time, or walk around and live their daily life yourself. Even had split-screen co-op, which rocked.

It kind of ruined the series for me because it was so much better with direct control yet they never revisited the feature outside of that single console port, and that game was one of the few with major backwards compatibility issues that AFAIK never got fixed so you can’t even play it anymore.

But time flies. Do you have a plan for that?

Are you talking about the one showing conservatives tend to have an underdeveloped sense of empathy, or are there other studies?

Not to mention people would arrive at their 10 minute appointment with a list of 5 completely separate medical issues that they’d been saving up for months. So either you do a full history, examination, diagnosis and treatment plan +/- prescription in 2 minutes for each problem, or the 10 minute appointment just becomes a 20 minute appointment. And then you document everything in your lunch break or after you’re supposed to have gone home 🙃

Here in the US, the last time I went to a doctor’s office they had signs posted saying that those under free healthcare could only discuss a single issue per billed visit. Which sure, saves the medical staff a ton of time and scheduling problems, but also means the most vulnerable (and least able to take time off to visit the doctor) have to prioritize health issues and let minor ones go untreated/undiagnosed until they become major ones.

Healthcare is a mess.

But Trump has more experience hurting politicians. Remember how he was a germophobe who famously refused to shake hands, until he realized he could use it as an excuse to put on a pathetic show of dominance?
