  • Slight edit based on a conversation I had once at a bar with people of widely varying ages:

  • Nope. I got laid off over a year ago, then diagnosed with cancer. I feel guilty for being detered by how complicated some of them are and for not taking full advantage of the programs while I'm at a point where I really do need them and qualify for them. I'm on the mend now, and as soon as I can find a job again, I'll be glad to be paying back into those programs.

  • Ahhh, the joys of federation! When viewed from my instance, the most recent post in that community is from 4 months ago!

    I think this is the post: https://awful.systems/post/7222752

  • Yeah, I think there was some regulation passed to ban the sale of gas powered leaf blowers within my city or county, but anyone who already owns one is still allowed to use them, and anyone who wants to buy a new one just has to travel to the neighboring city/county to buy one. I'm not sure what happened with that, but I can tell you for sure that the city parks department is definitely still using gas powered leaf blowers.

  • Oh yeah, you're right. I was focusing on just where the first day of the week lands, not the full month calendar.

  • If we had had any snow days here this year, that would probably have been my one day of peace!

  • Correct! Void is the sweetie and is always happy to greet everyone, and is even pretty welcoming to the constant stream of fosters. Tabby is my snuggle buddy, but is a jerk to almost everyone else.

  • OMG, yes! I swear there's someone outside my building using one 8 or 9 days per week.

  • No, since there's only 7 different possibilities, then over a sufficiently large sample, the probabilities would all still balance out to 1 in 7.

  • Can you guess which one's which?

  • I started out fostering cats (mostly kittens) a few years ago. I switched to a different organization a little while back, and started also volunteering for a variety of administrative tasks in addition to fostering. I love the cats, but would like to get more regular in person human interaction.

  • Would a billion be enough?

  • I don't think this is an unpopular opinion, especially on Lemmy.

  • Seedbox. I've had mine for over 10 years and I'm still paying the same $15/month, so it's effectively gotten cheaper, and they've actually upgraded me at least twice in that time to give me more storage & bandwidth.

  • I'd like to talk about the awesome employment opportunity they have for me that pays decently, has good benefits, and is doing something beneficial for the world, hopefully nonprofit.

    If that's not an option, I guess cats.

  • Nah, just means the females are all homozygous for orange, and all the males are orange. The gene for orange is on the X chromosome, and since XY males only get one X chromosome, they're either "orange" or "not orange". XX females (and XXY males) can get one copy of "orange" and one copy of "not orange", and that's how you you get torties/calicos, and why torties/calicos are almost always female.

  • What was wrong with "omnivore"?

  • But then what would I do while out for a walk, be alone with my thoughts and observant of my surroundings??
