- Comment on Why people say they have a "boy cat" or a "girl cat" but when the cat grows up, they don't call is a "man cat" or "woman cat"? 2 weeks ago:
That’s true for dog, not for cats. It’s also immaterial since we’re talking about present attitudes toward pets.
- Comment on Found this sign at my workplace 2 weeks ago:
I like that, from the look of it, someone bought a cheap novelty sign from Hot Topic or Spencer’s, then promptly scanned it and set it loose.

Human/animal bonding is added because their faces retain neotenic features that remind us of babies.. So many are inclined to relate to them like children.
From that article:
Accumulating behavioral and neurophysiological studies support the idea of infantile (cute) faces as highly biologically relevant stimuli rapidly and unconsciously capturing attention and eliciting positive/affectionate behaviors, including willingness to care. It has been hypothesized that the presence of infantile physical and behavioral features in companion (or pet) animals (i.e., dogs and cats) might form the basis of our attraction to these species.
It has been hypothesized that both behavioral and physical infantile features present in companion animals might form the basis of our attraction to these animals and may bear some part of the responsibility for our motivational drive to pet-keeping and pet-caretaking (Archer, 1997).

Might be, I do have gall stones. I also got sensitive to coffee around the same time though, even when I drink it black and unsweetened. But it could be my gallbladder and something coffee related went south around the same time.

If I’m only 30 then the pizza and soda probably won’t bother by stomach too much. I didn’t lose my iron stomach until closer to 40.

- Comment on I'm never going back to Matrix - Terence Eden 4 weeks ago:
I became adept in IRC in early 90s when I was under 10 years old, before my BB provider was even a full ISP (so I couldn’t even look up help on what existed of the early web). Every time I hear an adult claim its too complicated/obscure/esoteric I realize how how close to the medical exam scene in Idiocracy we’ve gotten in a few short decades.

First thing I do with my phone in the morning is turn off my alarm. That fills me with enough loathing for the device that I don’t look at is again for a few hours.
- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 1 month ago:
I think your question has been answered by other pretty well but I’ll add: If you decide a password manager is overall beneficial and choose one that looks secure, don’t assume it will stay that way. LastPass taught us that a couple decisions that valid one day can turn into huge liabilities in a few years as threats escalate. You to have to periodically check in on what sevops pros are saying about your manager and make sure they haven’t been resting on their laurels.
- Comment on Antz in my Pantz 1 month ago:
we conservatively estimate 20 × 1015 (20 quadrillion) ants on Earth, with a total biomass of 12 megatons of dry carbon. This exceeds the combined biomass of wild birds and mammals and equals 20% of human biomass. – source
If there’s a lot of something, we mammals are going to learn how to eat it.
