OK, my son’s cat likes eating dried out leaves like they’re potato chips. Like he’s seriously loves eating dried leaves. So with this in mind, I need a house plant but will essentially be safe for a cat to eat and also sickly enough or I don’t know what term to use, such that it will produce a lot of dead leaves. Does anybody have any suggestions on a cat safe plant that is also very messy with respect to leaves?

This is the first plant I’ve ever grown from scratch properly (the last one would’ve been a bean in a cup of wet paper towels in grade 3 or four). And yes, I made sure it’s a cat safe plant.

Bad news: replacing the wiper motor didn't fix my windshield wipers being sluggish.
Good news: in swapping the motor out I learned the linkage was corroded and partially seized on one side (the motor must have some serious torque to move it at all).
Lesson learned: Don't skip troubleshooting steps. Next time take the moving parts out, and try moving the pieces that should move to see if they move and if they don't move at all then thats probably the problem, and not the thing that makes them move.
As usual in fixing something (twice, because diagnosis is hard) I have yet more respect for car mechanics and all the other trades that have to deal with electro-mechanical systems especially the ones that get exposed to water and salt.

OK, serious question. What is the best kind of bedsheet material for a cat that is constantly making biscuits? I can rotate my bedsheets, but there’s basically two spots full of tiny little holes.

OK if they ask you, do you want red or green salsa? The correct answer is now “Yes.”
Why haven’t I been doing this my whole life?
Edit: and yes, I know this is a comical amount of salsa and sour cream to put on food.

So I bought a new garage door opener to replace my old one that’s 40+ years old. It doesn’t come with installation instructions.
You have to download an app that has the instructions. This app has instructions for hundreds of things which is nice, but I’m old and I would like to have a printed set of how to wire this thing up in case that app ever goes away (pro tip: print stuff and tape it to the top or back of that piece of equipment, the next person that has to fix it will thank you. And there’s a good chance you’ll be the next person that has to fix it.).
Also, there is a sticker sealing the documentation that says if I break it, I’m essentially agreeing to the licensing agreement terms of use and then there’s a URL.
@pluralistic this is a really new an interesting way to force people to agree to things.

Happy #caturday. A reminder: don’t brush your cat. Lick them with the brush. Especially those hard to reach spots. They’ll love it.

Disclaimer: I do not interact with the OpenBSD anymore due to abuse, however I will say on a technical level they have tried to squash entire classes of vulns, relatively effectively for the last 2 decades:
1. W^X (Write XOR Execute):
URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%5EX
2. ProPolice Stack Protector:
URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBSD_security_features
3. Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR):

4. RETGUARD:

They invented some stuff or were an early implementor.
Good news: we're (CSA) working on something in this area and will hopefully have some interesting things to show off in a few weeks.

watching the Overton Window (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window) move on this "Canada as the 51st US state" thing is wild, earlier this week te Americans were consistently making jokes about this but now some Europeans are. I would have thought with the current invasion of Ukraine that Europeans might be a bit more mindful about this, but I guess not.
Joking about invasion and sovereignty isn't funny. It's like joking about rape, but at the scale of a country. Not cool.

So Australia came up with an AI Action plan early on (2021) that is now not available on their website and only in some archives.
The UK gov just released their AI Action Plan today and it's actually REALLY good (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ai-opportunities-action-plan), it even talks about things like public datasets and dealing with copyright better.
Singapore released an AI Action Strategy in 2019 (https://www.smartnation.gov.sg/files/publications/national-ai-strategy.pdf). It's old, but that's ok because they already released version 2.0 of the plan, as a first class item at https://www.smartnation.gov.sg/nais/
My government (Canada) has taken an industry centric approach (as expected) here https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/ai-strategy/en
It's wild to see all the different cultural approaches to AI, and which governments are making AI strategy a first class item on their websites, and which ones have it buried away, or have let it go obsolete.

Why is it so difficult to buy blood online? Like I’m not even trying to buy human blood, I wanna buy animal blood for the cat. Does nobody sell like a frozen variety pack of blood ice cubes and ship them you know in a freezer pack container like they do for steaks and lobster?
