“Like” can also be a softener.

“I ate like 20 corn dogs” is different than “I ate 20 corn dogs.”

The former means a larger than standard number of corn dogs, maybe six or seven. The latter means twenty.

It has other practical uses as well.

I am also obsessed with this

A cat fountain speeds up the process by exposing more surface area to the air. Lots of cats also appreciate moving water, based on instinctual understanding of the safety of running vs stagnant water.

Also, the cat bowl tastes like cat spit and this is unacceptable. The toilet gets freshened more often.

Pretty sure they did that anyway. They still are.

This is Moo Deng. You can find many photos of her biting knees.

This is the video the OP still is from, she tries for the knee, but the human is too quick! (Sorry for Reddit link, I can’t find it elsewhere and can’t figure out how to save and post the video on its own)

And this is a podcast about her.

He’s just a little guy, that’s how high he reaches.

They are pricey- this one is $159 USD- but auto wet food dispensers exist. This one refrigerates the food until it’s programmed feeding time, then heats it up. It’s a dish that is uncovered at the proper time, not like a soft serve dispenser (what I imagined when I heard of such a thing).

There is an $80 one at chewy.com but it uses ice packs you have to remember to freeze.

I feel like wiggles is the one yelling “onward!” as the human is the one propelling the craft. Unless I’m mistaken and the human is the one called Wiggles.

I spent months sitting outside in the cold for hours after dark, vibing with my feral. Eventually she would sit in my lap, and didn’t want me to go inside. Like, she’d plant herself and growl if I tried to get up. A few more months of that and she finally came indoors. My frozen butt was happy.

I’m registered Dem, so I can vote in primaries, but I donate to and participate with Democratic Socialists of America.

And I yell “do better and I might!” whenever the DNC asks for money (they can’t hear me, it’s mostly text and junk mail).

Can’t wait for the ozzyman voiceover

Round up

I had to type. If it had been an online recipe it would have done it on its own.

If you have a my fitness pal account you can enter it as a “recipe”

Just fyi, the sugar is in there for texture, not so much flavor. Allulose will get you the closest, it does brown a little bit, unlike most non nutritive sweeteners.

There are two roads mine is always trying to turn down on my way home from work. I keep meaning to go that route during a not busy time of day to see if it actually makes the turn if I don’t stop it or if it will just jog to the right a bit.

There are a bunch of black squiggly lines on the road from repairs and it gets confused there.

This article looks like it was written by a worse than usual AI. It doesn’t make any sense.

I was curious who the single down vote on every cat post was so I checked. It was a bunch of different people. I’m still confused.

I’m curious why the flock cameras are worse than the “traffic observation cameras” that went up on top of every traffic light in like 2007. I was pretty upset about those at the time, but I never found any other push back.

Not many people upset about the cop cars becoming mobile license plate readers either.
