  • Every article you've posted and every article you will post says the same thing.

    For a male cat to have a calico pattern, the feline has to have three sex chromosomes: two Xs and a Y. This phenomenon can happen in both humans and animals and is, in either case, known as Klinefelter syndrome.

    Again, they may present with male genitals, but genetically they are both male and female. There are no male calico cats. It's literally impossible.

  • All calicos have 2 X chromosomes. That means they are either female, or in rare cases intersexed XXY with male genitals. There are no strictly male calicos. It's literally and biologically impossible.

  • Bullshit. They cry bankrupt every time contract negotiations come up. They just wasted millions on those fucking useless C250 trucks that are so poorly designed that they can't hold large boxes. They aren't broke, there is no financial crisis, they just don't want to pay the people actually doing the work.

  • Calicos can be XXY, which may present male genitals but is intersexed and both male and female. The genes for color are coded on the X chromosome. That's why only females are calico.

  • I could do that...but then I lose easy access to the assistant. I could set up the tap on back function, but that doesn't work when it's in a holder in the car. There are no options that I can find that would let me assign the assistant to open on power + vol up. Unfortunately these phones aren't as customizable as as I'd like them to be. Or at least not by default, but I don't want to go through the trouble of flashing a new OS yet.

  • On my 8, that just activates the Google assistant. To get to the power menu, you have to press power (oddly named button, to be honest) and vol up at the same time. But these are active acts that you have to think about and verify to make sure they did what they are supposed to. Mashing the power button 5 times is succinct. I don't have to guess how many seconds I've waited. I don't have to feel to make sure I'm hitting the vol up instead of vol down accidentally. I count 5 times, 6 to make sure, and I can drop it while being certain that it's going to call 911. That's what I want in an emergency. A quick distinct action that requires no guessing to make sure it works. It makes sense once you stop and think. Nothing else about the power button makes sense, but at least that part does.

  • Except it doesn't activate by mashing the power button 5 times. On my Pixel 8, that activates the emergency dialer that will automatically call 911 if you don't cancel the prompt in 5 seconds. I did not know that before. Probably a better use for that feature. It also points out the different ideologies of Apple vs Android.

  • Look at all those big empty fields gathering lots of sunshine.

    Hint...you can plant trees and shrubs at the edges of a solar panel field as long as you keep the south open.

    Its like you're going out of your way to be obtuse.
