Holy s, 30 bucks per knob though. I better be able to pass those down to my grandkids!

Mine will chase after something if i throw it but then she expects me to come pick it up and throw it the other direction haha.

Cats eat by sense of smell before taste. Churu is basically thin tapioca pudding (not dairy but texture-wise i mean) with a shitload of strong scents in it that drive them absolutely wild!

Baby just needed a day to adjust, what a cutie.

Haha. The precious girl I ended up with bamboozled me a bit. I picked her up at the shelter and she clinged to me and started purring, then when I got her home I found out she can’t stand being held. She’s a smart one though, I love her.

I kinda wish I had been chosen by a stray, instead I went to a shelter and let one of the cats there choose me so I guess it’s close enough.

You’ve got an estimated 10 years or so before quantum computers can crack all current encryption by using Shor’s algorithm.

One of the most important quantum computing algorithms, known as Shor’s algorithm, would allow a large-scale quantum computer to quickly break essentially all of the encryption systems that are currently used to secure internet traffic against interception. Today’s quantum computers are nowhere near large enough to execute Shor’s algorithm in a practical setting, and the expert consensus is that these cryptanalytically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) will not be developed until at least the 2030s.

Maybe with current quantum computers, but human technology tends to increase at an exponential rate so I doubt it will be long. Scientists are already trying to design post-quantum encryption for this very reason.

these are called pass phrases and yes, they tend to be way more secure at least until quantum computers render all traditional cryptography meaningless.

Horse: “That’s a battery staple.”

Man: “Correct!”

Well mine were already wall mounted lol but you can just do like jaybone said and use wire to make it as far from the wall as you want. I just used some leftover speaker wire and some eyelets, but you can buy purpose made “picture hanging wire” that is good for 20-30 pounds or so if you want to be extra sure.

For real. My TV and my tower speakers both come with these sharktooth lookin picture hanger things on the back for exactly that purpose.

Pretty sure it’s an owl nesting box.
