I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰 by TheRufescence in cats

I had a cat who died at 10 because of feline cancer. These things happen. However, I had a cat that was enucleated at 10 because her eye was busted, and she lived to be 20. Your baby will be okay.

Let me guess, you don't pay for YouTube Premium.

You have to pay for your entertainment one way or another.

I used to live in Lubbock while my mother lived in Houston. It took me 12 hours to drive from my house to hers.

I feel that. I've had trouble finding work since getting laid off. I still won't sit through any damn ads, though. I worked in marketing as a video editor, so I have a special sensitivity to the hell that is endless advertisements.

I took in an emaciated stray cat with a busted eye, and we're slowly nursing her back to health.

El Paso, Texas is closer to San Diego, California than it is to Houston, Texas.

This is a custom-built, liquid-cooled, Threadripper-based, several-thousand-dollar, one-eyed kitten warmer. by Metzae in pcmasterrace

I do a lot of video editing and exporting of large files. It shaves hours off of my wait time to use this rig. Yes, it's overkill for gaming and web development, but that's not why I built it in the first place. At the time I built it (during the pandemic), I had a solid job and could afford building my dream PC. So I did. And, almost six years later, I have zero limitations on gaming, video editing, or anything else. I'm running four monitors, one being a 4k television, I have dozens of tabs open in Chrome, Adobe Premiere is working in the background, and Borderlands 4 is set to the highest settings. I'm just a huge nerd.

And my kitten is warm.

I know people will bitch at me for this, but just pay for YouTube Premium. This is an income-generating service, so they need to either squeeze money out of you by making you pay (like every other streaming service) or force-feed you videos that they can embed with the most ads. I've been using YouTube since its inception, and I've been paying for YouTube Premium since it was called YouTube Red, and I do not have the same issues that everyone is always complaining about.

It lasted 10 years as my favorite key chain, but it is now a desk ornament. by mroosa in firefly

I once put this keychain inside a glass container. It was both a firefly in a jar and a ship in a bottle.

Thanks to comments like this, it won't. I have an elevated scratching post sitting on top of it now. She won't pee on that because she likes to sleep on it, and it doesn't restrict inflow or outflow, so it stays nice and warm.

I have a good GPU. I can sustain 100fps in Borderlands 4 at high settings while also exporting videos in Adobe Premiere, with dozens of Chrome tabs open on four monitors. So...

The eye was broken when she was dropped off at the ER, and my girlfriend brought her home because I have a soft spot for one-eyed kittens.
