Today marks the one year anniversary of our beloved cat's death. He was the sweetest fatso ever. We miss him everyday and his brother still yowls for him every night.

Cats are irreplaceable. You'll miss Gigi forever. Remember her and she'll never die.

Oh I've seen this in the past. It's part of a video (documentary?) on phobias. This guy had lobster phobia and they were trying "shock treatment" to see if it would help. IIRC it didn't.

There's also weird stuff how things like fuel consumption is measured. In the US we use "miles per gallon" which makes sense in a non-metric country. I was born in a metric country where we used "kilometers per liter" which also makes sense. But then cars have this setting for European countries where they show "liters per 100km". WTF? Who in the hell measures things like that and why?

TL;DR it's possible to do stupid things with any measuring system.

Hospitals in the US use mostly metric too.

But hey, if we could convert all the antivax, anti global warming, anti abortion, Qanon, and flat earth nuts into UFO nuts I'd be all for it.

This reminds me of many moons ago, when I was a young man still in the chase. There was this girl I was really interested and one day we kind of clicked. She invited me to a concert of some small band I didn't know about, but I said "yeah, sure I will go with you!" (The mission always comes first!)

We get there and it's this small to medium sized stadium full of young people. She was sitting next to me and things were going generally well.

Lights turn off, the band enters the stage and starts playing some rock with metal overtones. I start to think "This can't be so bad..."

Well, famous last words. A few minutes after the band starts playing, the song takes a turn for the worse. The guitar mellows out, the band stops and the singer asks everybody in the fucking stadium to hold hands, close their eyes and pray with him... The lyrics changed to Jesus this, Jesus that and never came out of the rut. It was two hours of that.

Lord Almighty... If you indeed existed you would not have allowed something like that to happen...

Also magnets don't fly out to space by themselves (at least not yet) 😁

Does that letter look like a little gay GOP elephant or is it just me?
