  • Tbf, most people pose no threat to the average cat. Like razor blades welded to a flying angle grinder that always knows which way is down.

    • YSK: Several countries have their own Do Not Call registries that opt you out of telemarketer lists and it only takes a few minutes to complete.

  • When I did it, you could opt out electronically for 5 years, but a lifetime opt out requires you to mail a printed form. I'm guessing the lenders have something to do with that and are banking on most people not having a printer.

    Edit: Or having to deal with paying for a stamp and putting something in the mail.

    But yes, I love their 90s clip art.

  • If we're sharing our dogs, here's mine.

    It wasn't a successful day at the park if he doesn't sprinkle 15 molecules of pee on every tree at least a few times. He also marks the benches, despite my efforts to stop him. He's very rude like that.

    He just turned 2 years old a few weeks ago.

    • I'm surprised it hasn't been taken down yet ...well maybe not that surprised

  • I hope not. We already have a serious mouse problem as it is.

  • I've been playing a lot of Minetest. I have Minecraft, but I really love the old school vibes of Minetest. Plus, there are way too many materials in Minecraft. Minetest is super simple. Love it for that.

    I've been pining for Stardew Valley again after putting it down for a while. I also started a Thousand Year Door run in August so I might actually finish that. Or maybe some old school Animal Crossing if I'm gonna be couch gaming on the Wii.

    I started Earthbound last year, and I've really been wanting to sink the time into it, but I really think some kind of handheld emulator would be the best way to experience it. I've got an old PSP I think would make a great handheld NES/SNES emulator.

    I've also been wanting to revisit the original PS1 Resident Evil trilogy, which I have on my PS3.

    tbh I'm spoiled for choice and I don't know where to start lmao

  • Wait, you're telling me other countries have long processes for immigrating? I'm shocked. SHOCKED! Well, not that shocked.

  • Amtrak currently runs trains on the freight tracks, but as Amtrak essentially leases the privilege of using the tracks at all from CSX and BNSF and Union Pacific and the like, their traffic gets heavily deprioritized to freight trains. You can totally catch a train from Fort Worth to Los Angeles, but it will take a few days longer than driving, will be almost as expensive as flying, and the train will be delayed many times for freight traffic.

    If the federal government nationalized the rails, put them under the care of the FRA, properly funded Amtrak, and gave it a healthy advertising budget to let people know rail is the clear choice for medium length trips (like Chicago to St. Louis), there's no reason we couldn't send passengers on the same rails and with the same priority as freight trains. They're perfectly safe, and the reason we've been hearing about so many train wrecks lately is the degradation of work conditions for rail workers. Longer trains and longer hours make for more dangerous operating conditions and more frequent wrecks.

    And while the trains wouldn't run 190 miles an hour, many long, straight stretches do exist, and it's not unheard of for a train to be running 80-100 miles an hour on those stretches. That kind of speed is very doable for passenger rail. Hell, some Amtrak trains are capable of 150 miles an hour.

    My point wasn't to use 150 year old rails. It's that the rails already exist so it doesn't need to be a decades-long multi-trillion dollar project. It's highly unlikely that any of the rails in use today are from the 19th century.
