Last Notes npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt your driving must have been particularly inspiring. 🤭 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Good morning Mastodonians. It is a gorgeous day here in the State of Misery. We enjoyed fresh baked cinnamon rolls out on the catio. I over did it but we only make these a couple of times a year because they are just sooo good. I wouldn’t be surprised if I ate an entire week’s worth of calories in one sitting. 🤭 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt love my eGO mower! This is my first season using it and I wrongly believed the height adjustment was in inches so I really cropped my grass! Oops! RTFM Moe! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…dyu0 you should be! That’s a great photo! You look amazing. Mr Blue is going to love it, guaranteed! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt “Bring me Solo and the Wookiee!” npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt I’m blown away that CBD helps with dementia. Do they have any idea how it works? npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt Thanks. It really hurts to learn you’ve failed your pet. I am really glad it’s helping and he has been really good with the meds. It’s a cream you rub in the ear. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus This is Rigby. He’s my little buddy and I love him more than life itself. He’s a gold medalist lap cat and sweet to every human he encounters. However, he annoys the hell out of the other cats and near dinner time he just about loses his mind worrying if he’ll be fed. The vet said he was suffering from anxiety and that we should try a medication. My precious boy has now been on anti-anxiety drugs for a few weeks. The good news is that it’s helping but I’m really sad we didn’t try this sooner.😿 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt I remember as a kid dropping one of those plates on a concrete floor. It bounced but didn’t break. I dropped one recently on our granite countertop and it shattered horribly into tiny, razor sharp shards. What a mess! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt oh I love potato soup too! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus After a morning clearing snow a bowl of fresh corn chowdah and homemade corn bread hits the spot nicely. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt good idea to take it easy. Shoveling snow is quite hard on the old ticker. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus This weather calls for an extra large pot of tea. I vastly prefer coffee but the volumes of hot liquid required today would likely expose me to caffeine poisoning. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt I frequently hear that sound coming from the woods. I’ve never caught them arguing on camera though. Neat video! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt I don’t disagree but privacy isn’t on or off. It’s a spectrum and there are things that can be done to reduce your digital signal, even while carrying a smartphone. I’m extremely passionate about privacy but I stopped preaching because no one cares anymore. I just focus on my little corner of dystopia. 😜 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt @nprofile…yf42 @nprofile…lz9j sad to say most of the world gave up on privacy years ago. I still prefer to reduce my signal as much as possible. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt @nprofile…yf42 @nprofile…lz9j given their existing relationship with Google I am not surprised. I like that it’s just selling Apple the Gemini LLM and not Apple communicating directly with Google as it is with their search partnership. So unlike the search deal which sends billions of query to Google servers every day, this is Apple running the Gemini LLM on their own private infra which I vastly prefer. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt I’d love to have goats but they frown on livestock in my neighborhood. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Your smart TV is watching you and nobody's stopping it npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt Do the dogs hate it and fuss a lot? We keep our cats’ claws trimmed. Two of them are very chill about it. The black cat, Rigby fusses up a storm and he ends up suffering the indignity twice as long as his brothers. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ryrt I have not watched it since it came out but I very much remember enjoying it. I’m not a big rewatcher of movies except classic horror and Monty Python. I’ll make a point to rewatch this again soon. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Jasper is giving me “the look”. Cats develop routines. Sometimes they develop these on their own, other times we influence these routines. In this case, Jasper is accustomed to getting a second breakfast because if we gave him all of his breakfast at once, he would throw it up. We’ve since found a new food that he is able to keep down but he still thinks he is owed his second breakfast. 🙄 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus It was a day of tearful goodbyes as we said goodbye to these darling kittens. They each get to ring in the New Year with their new families. I couldn’t be happier for them. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus This has been a very tough year for a lot of people. Hopefully everyone is still able to enjoy a pleasant Christmas whether you're spending it alone or with a massive family. My wife and I are spending Christmas with my parents who live 3hrs away. I'm thankful to still have them both in my life. Tonight, though, we'll enjoy a quiet cozy evening by the fire with our three kitties hogging all of the blankets as they should. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Not much point in having a constitution if every official who swore to protect it violates their oath. R.I.P America. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…7ppx what do people do with their RO waste water, which can be considerable? We only RO filter our drinking/ice water. But depending on your setup this can generate up to 4:1 waste:drinking water. That’s a LOT wasted water and it’s full concentrated contaminants. Currently I’m experimenting with dumping it into my grey water filtration system but I have no way of testing the output for PFAS or microplastics. I figure it has to be better than just dumping it right into the sewer. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…n9v0 I adore Krampus. Most of our meager Christmas decorations are Krampus or Yule Lad themed. Even our Christmas cards have Krampus on them. I’m bummed that there is no Krampusnacht this year in St. Louis but I’m off to Carbondale next weekend to celebrate with old high school mates at a Krampusnacht event. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus So what is up with sites that use Shopify? Prior to this week I was able to login with username and password. As of this week, I enter my username and now they’re sending a code to your inbox. This is fine except one of my accounts uses an old 33mail address which bounces with Shopify but works fine if I email it myself. Clearly Shopify is rejecting 33mail as a valid email. I stopped using 33mail years ago but this site would not let me change my email address. Bastards! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…n9v0 @nprofile…2ds0 It feels strange that such a different way of life is still within our living memory. My dad attended a one room school house until 3rd grade. Amazingly, his teacher at that school was also one of MY teachers many years later. She was 82 when I was in her class! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…2ds0 Thanks Sharon. Of course now that I’ve purchased it, we’ll probably get no more snow. 😜 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus So this morning I tracked down the only electric snow blower within 200 miles. It was 45 miles away at an ACE Hardware in Union, MO. I called the store to confirm they had it and made the trek out there. Just as I pull into their parking lot it begins to snow. By the time I made it back home the roads were terrible and we had a couple of inches on the ground. Now to put the new machine to the test! We’ve blown our December budget and it’s only the first of the month. 😹 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus It’s bitter cold and windy outside and Jasper says it’s a good day to relax by the fire. I totally agree. #caturday npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus As I suspected, our “snowfall” was more like slushfall. We got about 3” of snow and then it started raining. Even if my snow blower wasn’t broken it wouldn’t be effective against this muck. However we had the good fortune of having a couple of enterprising teen boys stop by seeking shoveling work. They shoveled our drive, the sidewalks and the slop the road plows had piled in front of the drive. I gave them $50 and two cups of hot chocolate for their labor and told them to check back next snow! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus So we survived T-day without the Microwave. My belly is full of mom’s cherry pie. Everyone has left, dishes are all done, my wife is asleep, I’m sipping a quality single malt with a cat on my lap. Bliss. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Wish us luck, we’re hosting T-day this year and we still don’t have a microwave. This experience has fostered a feeling of kinship with my ancestors as we’re now living like the Victorians. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus This will end badly. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Ski mountaineer Andrzej Bargiel becomes the first person to climb Mount Everest and ski back to Everest Base Camp without supplementary oxygen. #everest #extremesports npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus What an adventure! It was time for the cats’ annual checkup at the vet. Hauling three cats in their carriers is exhausting. It isn’t much fun for the kitties either. Poor Tigger is the most traumatized and he has it the easiest. Jasper and Rigby, being older, need senior urine and blood work. Both samples are “taken”. Ouch! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Having cared for countless of stray and feral kitties, I’ve found that with time a majority can be socialized but there are some who’s hearts are wild and no amount of yummy food is going to tame them. When you’re caring for one of these wild ones, a slow blink at food time will melt your heart. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…n9v0 I see the cats generously left you the two comfy wooden chairs. 😹 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus No sleep for me for the next couple of weeks. I’ve got these adorable little babies to look after. Their mother (stray) was sadly hit by a car. A kind woman who was, thankfully, aware of the litter called us immediately after finding the mother. They were massively hungry and a little hypothermic but now they are toasty warm with full bellies. It’s hard to tell but there are five of them in that huddle. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…n9v0 @nprofile…9k2k I pay the full unsubsidized rate for my current ACA plan. My out of pocket heath expenses this year amounted to about $7000. Insurance paid $450 of that. I’m no longer even submitting my healthcare bills to insurance as the uninsured rate at most providers is way better (40% off at my orthopedic doc). My insurance is simply there for catastrophic needs. Next year the marketplace in MO won’t offer any plans that cover BJC network or my docs. 🤬 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus With the arrival of cooler temperatures, Tigger seeks out the warmth of fleece blankets. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Our Microwave is still dead. Our lives have been plunged into the Stone Age. If you need me, I’ll be rubbing two sticks together in an attempt to make fire. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…dhsu I’m less worried about China putting a kill switch in my PC, phone, car and much, much more concerned about China having kill switches or back doors in our critical infrastructure like the electrical grid or water supply. Just imagine the chaos that would ensue if the electrical grid were to go down. I don’t know much about the electrical grid, how resilient it is, how likely a wide spread outage would be, or how quickly we could recover those services. What I’ve read is terrifying. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…dttn it often FEELS that long. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Today we closed down the garden for winter. Pond pumps shutdown. Pond nets on. Tropicals brought into the grow room. Bird feeders all cleaned and put up for the winter. Broken deck lights repaired. Blew a batch of leaves into the woods. Prepared a feast of chicken bones and grapes for our possum friends who visit nightly. I’m pooped! Now I am firmly planted on the sofa watching a horror movie (Tomb of Ligeia) with a glass of whisky. I’ve earned it! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Happy Halloween everyone! 🧛🏻♂️🎃👻💀 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus 😺 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…tupu I love them! Especially the Mantis. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Jasper soaking up the sun. He loves keeping warm by sleeping on the clothes dryer when it’s in use. He also loves to be warmed with the blow dryer and will patiently wait for you to dry your hair and then step up for his turn. Does anyone else have a cat that enjoys being warmed with a hair dryer? npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…n9v0 Oh PLUS you need a subscription for the pleasure of having your poo analyzed. Double hard no. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus I finally felt the mood to kick off my annual horror movie marathon. I always start by watching a few recent movies. I watched three complete duds last night. Together, Nosferatu and Strange Harvest. I had high hopes for Nosferatu as I’m a fan of the vampire genre, generally. Nope it stunk. I look forward to tucking into the classics. I have several other new releases to check out but I need a palate cleanser after those stinkers. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus This morning I woke on my stomach with a black cat tucked up tight between my legs. I needed to pee but could not move without disturbing the cat. I looked over at my wife and she was hemmed in by two cats, one on each side. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus The restoration of Notre Dame is one of the most amazing efforts in history. I love seeing what went into the project. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…62fu Every major city is flawed. It was easy as a tourist to focus on the good stuff. When you live there, it's probably easier to focus on the challenges. Japan has so much rich tradition that it isn't surprising that modern life butts heads with that tradition on a regular basis. Still, I love the Japanese appreciation for fine craftsmanship. I encountered the most amazing artisans in Japan trying to keep traditional skills alive in an ever modernizing society. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…62fu my wife and I loved our visit to Tokyo. We made it an effort to visit every subway station because each was like a little city of its own. I particularly loved chatting with locals, when we could. Getting away from the popular touristy areas was also very enlightening and interesting. The food was better too! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus For the first time in months, I woke to a very chilly house. My wife grumbled and after eating a quick breakfast went right back to the warm bed. I donned my sweats and went out to the garden to practiced my tai chi in the cool autumn air. My neighbor, who often teases me (kind heartedly) about my clumsy tai chi, walked up to the fence as I finished and commented, “you’ve gotten really good at that! Your movements were beautiful”. That absolutely made my day! 🥲 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…lwhf I think they envision an accessories market much like the App Store so I suspect it will be rare for one to roll off @ $20k. I also agree that an AWD model is really needed. I hope they succeed but looking at their job postings it appears the entire company remains a concept. 😆 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…ulxe @nprofile…lwhf I’m really excited by the Slate announcement. I hope they can pull it off. Many independent EV attempts have failed. It’s hard to start an automobile company at the best of times. Still, I’m cheering them on! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…naem I would like dumb cars to become popular again. You know, cars that the owner had to drive. Cars that didn’t collect mountains of data about you. Cars with knobs and buttons! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Today's encounter with #wildlife. I was cleaning out a #garden bed when I spooked this garter #snake that was sunning itself. I briefly caught it as I wanted to show my wife (she loves garter snakes) but it escaped my gasp. I only held it long enough to get pooped on. 🫤 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…wf6t Good night sleepy Pax npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…lwhf what a party! I don’t blame them, I like sweets too! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…wf6t There's that sweet face! Good morning Pax! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…lwhf How are they doing with the rain? Did all of the stragglers eventually enter the hive? npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…lwhf I just ordered the new M4 Mac Mini before the prices go up. We upgraded our iPhones to the 16 series as both of our phones were over 6 years old. So we’re good for several years now. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…lwhf @nprofile…erkp for the record, I’m still not used to it. 😊 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…lwhf You’ll have loads of water! Those totes are hundreds of dollars new, so even $75 is a bargain. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…lwhf I have a rain barrel just for topping up the ponds because our nutrient rich tap water causes algae blooms.🫤 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Spring is here! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…lwhf OMG, I hope there is no damage! npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…lwhf That’s not fruit! 😜 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @nprofile…lwhf @nprofile…wd2x it was probably your accent, Brian. 😊 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Oh this is so heartbreaking. 💔 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub1a25…l27u You’re right!

In that cute little head she’s plotting world domination. 😆 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus I almost forgot #caturday! Earlier this week my wife finish crocheting a throw. As soon as she went to bed Tigger hopped up and laid down on it. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub1sfl…gczt If I’m honest, I used a can of tuna to get them to pose like this but OF COURSE they want votes for Harris! They would cast votes themselves but they don’t have a form of ID…nor thumbs. 😊 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Who else is a proud, crazy childless cat dad for #KamalaHarris? 😊 Jasper, Rigby and Tigger approve this message. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub15te…wdn7 I was expected a joke in there about getting baked. 😆 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus Happy #caturday everyone. I hope your day is as relaxed as Tigger’s. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub1a25…l27u I can relate! ☺️ npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub1a25…l27u that is one content kitty. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub15te…wdn7 My Nextdoor neighbor has one and he likes it. The only thing he’s not happy about was the bolt that held the blade was cross threaded out of the box and he had to wait almost all of last season to get a replacement part. I wonder if others have had similar experiences with part availability? I too am considering this mower when my current mower needs replacing. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub1lrv…tth9 @npub1ept…jcl3 My wife and I cancelled Prime back in April when our renewal came due. Haven’t missed it. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub1vgg…pm2j How long before we start seeing “sponsored” AI responses from ChatGPT? npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub1utv…87lr 100% npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub1lrv…tth9 I dropped Prime this year. My spouse and I realized we didn’t use any of the other features of Prime and shipping dates have been really erratic. We can easily qualify for free shipping with minimal planning of our purchases. We simply don’t need next day or same day shipping. It had an interesting impact. Two months have gone by and I’ve only purchased one small item from Amazon because it was cheaper. That’s unheard of in this household. npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub1gfd…7gg6 Please don’t make me have positive thoughts about Oracle. 😊 npub1dl5aljus23fspr7t5pkycm7hgqyqa2dtvvv67x7ftwns7eeczzuqtrj3vr Moe Lassus @npub1mdk…aptk @npub1fqm…e2ux It's so discouraging to see the number of #journalist accounts on #Mastodon that haven't been active in 100+ days. They all came here at the begging of the end for #Twitter but so many went crawling back to Twitter or opted to move to #yabp (yet another billionaire's platform).
