Poseidon's Wrath Cafe
Some Instagram videos: POV drone footage of a rock being skipped along a river. If this truck's a rockin', don't come a-knockin'. Because a big brown bear somehow locked himself inside the cab. Bike riders scare the bear. The wolves came free with the rental. Building little rat cars so that lab rats can have a more "stimulatory" environment. Whale songs. The traditional bumper-car drifting marriage ceremony. On to the non-IG stuff: Castaway. Friday frolic. Sometimes you just want to hop and skip with your bull. Another bull who's eager to please. No, I don't mean David French's associate. I wish I could find a cat who does this but they all seem to hate having their bellies touched. Golden retrievers are loyal and loving and also dumb. My ding-a-ling... Lambada bear.
explainingtheuniverse Of the roughly 10,000 photographs Ingersoll, Ont., resident Cody Evans took of Lake Erie in 2022 during the lake-effect storm, one looked just like Poseidon himself! He said he often heads down to Lake Erie -- in Port Stanley just south of London, Ont. -- whenever he sees there will be high winds, which is what the forecast was calling for at the time. Evans set up to shoot for a couple of hours that day -- "It was pretty cold...I think it was -11 C or something" -- and he couldn't take photographs immediately due to the snow. "I watched the water, and when I see waves are gonna collide, I'll just take a burst of photos," Evans said, adding his Nikon Z 9 camera can take 20 photos per second.

I wonder how much David French is now associated with bulls. Google seems to be bending the knee to Trump, so we may see more honest results.

Hard to say without knowing what ammo he's using.

We've all heard "In The Hall Of The Mountain King."

I think he also composed "Morning Wood," which is another commonly used piece used in all kinds of media, including cartoons and commercials.

You can't differentiate human faces, so if somebody changes their hair or clothes you won't be able to recognize them.
Allegedly, Jane Goodall had this problem, but had no trouble telling chimps apart by their faces.

His other fun game is to ambush me and smack my hand or wrap around my ankle to jump scare me. He's very gentle, and he has a sneaky sense of humor that's on display.

112 Most of our numerous cats do not object to tummy rubs and a few will roll over straight away for one. My big 20 pounder, Shadow, is a sucker for tummy rubs as is Cheddar, one of Brie's babies.

Awwww.
Our cat Pookie was raised getting tummy rubs so he is used to them.
Our other cat doesn't mind them.
I swear her tummy fur feels like rabbit fur.

I have a quote with materiel BOM that will put a 15lb payload at 100,000 feet AGL using a 2 stage "P" set up. We were gonna use it to test micro satellite isr for artillery targeting in a denied air environment. Cost was $250k for two rockets, that could each do two flights.

Cars belong in my street, but they scatter bullets or do burnouts on the lawn, I will fire back. But if they abide by the rules, I ignore them.
Helicopters are heavily regulated, but if one touched down in my backyard, in definance of those rules, I might get upset.
Fat kids are the norm, so this is a stupid point of comparison.
We have aircraft that have no lawful business, that our government tells us aren't there, or if they are there, ignore them, and trust us.

For a female to be orange, she must have 2 X genes. If she does not she is a tortie or calico. Male cats have only one X chromosome and thus can't have black and orange.
Tabby cats can have orange in the undercoat which is called a Brown Tabby. This is detectable by looking for the color of the stripe. Brown Tabbies have black stripes, a Orange has orange.

It is male calicos that are mostly sterile, because they are XXY genetics. Orange cats of either sex are usually fine which is good for the orange cat lovers.

That and what Zone your state is in. Ohio is in the East zone, but geographically its west border is basically near the center of Central. So its sunsets are very late in the Summer. So they aren't longer, just later.

I like cats because they generally leave me alone. Dogs are very intrusive, drool all over me, and bark.
Cats are subtle, and have a much wider range of personalities (both good and bad).
Cats do understand language, but they are tonal, not purely phonetic. You have to repeat the words in the same tone for them to understand, and it will transfer from person to person.
On weekends (when we sleep in) our older cat will pat at our bedroom door and if she doesn't get an answer, will start vocalizing, and it sounds very much like "hello? Hello?" complete with the uptalk at the end.

Cats can mimic other sounds. There's a clip of Tigers mimicing cows to lure them over to their cage. So yeah they can mimic your sound if it works for them.
My cats are not very vocal except with each other which puts the lie to the 'cat meowing is only for people' lie. Meows are baby talk to cats while adults use more complex body language to communicate with adult cats.

It varies between the breeds as well. Siamese are extremely vocal, and love to talk. I will also say it's not a mimic in this case, it's communication. The cat heard people saying it, and observed that it got a response, and she has found the same to be the case.
She also has a sort of grumble she makes in the kitchen (where we keep her food) that is like kids asking for a treat.
The younger cat (calico female) is not very bright, which pisses off the older one. She's very affectionate though.

If the white was on the chin and chest it might have just been from the tabby pattern all cats have.
White marks on cats have nothing to do with the sex gene. They are from other genes and small white spots can appear on the chest or belly called lockets or buttons. Calicos come from an interaction between the colors and the "White Spotting" gene

Before Obamacare it was possible to buy health insurance that covered a catastrophic event (like cancer) and just pay out of pocket for a checkup. Obamacare means you have to pay more to subsidize all kinds of things that don’t impact you. And of course it has led to further consolidation in the industry.
It’s a little like how Dodd Frank supposedly reformed the financial industry but really just locked in the dominant positions of the largest banks - the only ones that could afford the compliance costs.
Any kind of big federal regulation that aims to ‘solve’ a problem usually just entrenches the largest players and makes life worse for normal people.

Oh yes, ear and tail position are big indicators! Our calico cat has very interesting facial markings, almost quartered like a coat of arms, so it's hard to see her expressions, but they are usually blank, poor thing.
Our elder cat is gray, with a white tuxedo that also touches her face, so she make very vivid facial expressions and it's interesting so see when she's frowny or smiling.
I think cats are a wonderful teaching too if you want to read people. All cats are horrible liars, and picking them out is helpful in spotting it in people.

Both are natural mutations, preserved by breeders. Three of my cats are from Munchkin litters, but the ones without the favored mutated gene. If a kitten gets two of the genes it is lethal, and you have an old style Persian cat. Meanwhile what they have done to the skull of the Persian cat through their breeding is cruel. I adopted one with the super flat face. He had such bad digestion he ate twice as much as my other cats at half the size. If he didn't eat virtually every waking moment he starved, and died some months later. Sweetest cat and had no fear

I see it in feral cats outside, and I assume the belly/bib (which is hidden when they lie down) has some sort of signaling/mating advantage.
Something we find kind of funny is that there is a doppelganger for both of our cats in the neighborhood - not exact, but very similar. Probably part of the local gene pool.

You are 100% correct, and if you'll remember they switched immediately from complaining about 40M and began bragging about how there was "only X%" percentage uninsured instead post-Obamacare. Because that was how they could easily hide that it was the exact same 40M and we had just spent $10T+ for nothing.

Something we find kind of funny is that there is a doppelganger for both of our cats in the neighborhood - not exact, but very similar. Probably part of the local gene pool.
Postedi by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at December 13, 2024 09:13 PM (ZOv7s)
Cat genetics has wild variation built in so the normal genes can produce huge variances.. It takes one gene to make a Tabby Cat solid black. White spotting has a 'volume knob' somewhere that can make nearly solid to nearly white randomly. One gene can turn a cat orange instead of black. The dilute gene takes any other pattern and makes it grey. The siamese coat pattern is temperature dependent, cool areas are dark as the black coat is turned to dark brown to coffee with cream colors.

If you go uninsured one day a year you’re counted as uninsured. So if you switch jobs and go a week or even a weekend in between coverage, voila you are uninsured.
And millions of people who simply choose not to buy it. Mainly young healthy people.
Factor those cases out and the real number of people who want insurance and can’t buy it is maybe 5% of the population.

Dogs are pack animals. They need a boss by their nature, and at one point they were wise enough to allow men to be their leaders. But they don't really have a choice like cats do, they are really in distress without a pack.
Cats have free choice in bonding, which I appreciate. Like people, they trade their skills for payment. And they actually are amused by us generally. They see us as equals, not a master.

Both of the cats run patrols and will let out a signal if they've found something wrong. The younger one makes a plaintive howl, which she also does when she scores a kill (often a sock), while the older one will sometimes cackle or cry if a serious violation has happened.
The older one also tracks bugs brilliantly. I can't count how many times I realized a wasp was buzzing around because she suddenly went on point and tracked it for me.

Yeah, that was the elephant in the room. Illegals with no insurance but who must be treated at ERs. Gotta make up that shortfall somewhere, so force people into higher premiums so hospitals can cover their costs.
I've been told point black by the billing dept. that my family is allowed longer hospital stays because of my insurance and they will also cut me a discount if I pay the co-pay as a lump sum because they get so much on the back end.
