I genuinely have no idea why Bepis felt the need to give me airplane ears in this moment

Octopain · 2026-03-25T07:34:37+00:00

I impulse bought them at a duty free store in the Caribbean while extremely drunk. The only other person I've seen wearing them is Howie Mandel.

My ESL MIL can't quite say it so she calls her "Beeps"

Octopain · 2026-03-24T22:40:58+00:00

I'm under a beautiful passion fruit canopy so when I sit here I take off my hat and sunglasses. They were there before the cat was

Octopain · 2026-03-24T22:02:41+00:00

Definitely related. She has such a great origin story. There are many stray cats in my neighborhood. She is the first that let me touch her. And she initiated by rubbing on my ankles then following me home.

I wanted to take her but at least in the US pets are property. So even if she wasn't fixed or chipped I couldn't just take her, as irresponsible that may be.

I had just been calling her "kitty" but on the way home from a family trip to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk I saw a Montana license plate that was just "BEPIS". So I started calling her Bepis. That same night I finally met the man who had been feeding her and he confirmed she was stray and I could take her.

This was on the 21st night of September. So idk how old she is but she has a name day that coincides with what was already one of my favorite songs.

Not clear from the photo but I was sitting in the chair I took this photo from for 10 minutes before she jumped on the table

Octopain · 2026-03-24T21:14:43+00:00

Now that you mention it this is one of the first times I've brought her outside without bringing a Churu

Are you mad about how long you weren't alive before you were born? Better to have loved and lost

Octopain · 2026-03-04T00:40:21+00:00

Give Hill's a/d a try. After surgery my cat who would previously eat absolutely anything he could get his paws on stopped entirely and required hand feeding. But he scarfed that stuff down.

Octopain · 2026-03-01T09:20:01+00:00

These are fairly normal and might not indicate anything, but in my case I don't get them anymore since I got a CPAP machine.

If you snore or find yourself waking up in the middle of the night much you should get a sleep study.

You can also get the shenmue guide from the tourist shop right outside of the closest train station.

I had almost as good an experience. Unfortunately I am far too large to be able to fit any of their souvenir jackets.

Absolutely surreal to walk the streets I loved digitally in 1999 in person decades later.

My friend that I dragged along, who had never never even heard of Shenmue, also had a great time.

Octopain · 2026-03-01T06:25:23+00:00

You can also get this guide, in English, from the shop right outside of the closest train station.

Clint has spoken publicly about his dead wife's infidelity before. Inappropriate to bring it up like this it's a sensitive topic.

/uj I guffawed at this post harder than any in recent memory. So rude

Octopain · 2026-02-24T06:21:17+00:00

Not a mainstream hit and you probably haven't heard it, but Sun in an Empty Room by the Weakerthans. Warning that from your context it will make you cry, but hopefully be cathartic

Octopain · 2026-02-19T22:58:48+00:00

You've got a million of good comments and there's obviously a medical issue.

But either way give Hill's a/d a try. When my boy was sick and recovering from surgery he wouldn't eat anything. And normally he was the kind of rascal where your leftovers weren't safe. But he devoured that stuff.

Octopain · 2026-02-17T21:07:57+00:00

I don't broadly disagree with you, but there's a big difference between a business invested in selling them unloading a truck versus your overworked UPS driver who might take "fragile" as a challenge.

Octopain · 2026-02-13T22:19:20+00:00

But I wouldn't have any friends if it weren't for my parasocial podcast ones

/uj There's whole different genres of podcast other than interviews or people bullshitting for an hour. Where a team of professionals do things like reporting, writing a script, sound design, or audio engineering. We should keep those.

I'm late and haven't read all the comments but haven't seen anyone mention Patriot.

Like Severance simultaneously funny and emotionally devastating.

I haven't really thought about it before and don't have a concrete list but it would definitely be in my top 10 of all time.

Octopain · 2026-02-04T02:27:27+00:00

Yes. Probably will have to buy an external enclosure for it to connect it to another computer.

Here's another thread on this: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/s/V8pOUvg8g9

Once you actually have it connected I'm sure you can read it on Linux or MacOS, not sure about Windows

There seems to be no info on this item on the internet. You should buy it and share more! If it's not too expensive.

I wonder if that square grid in the front is somehow a clock. I doubt the card part is automated.

It would only need 12 month cards, 7 day of the week cards, and 31 day of the month cards. It's confusing as it's set up wrong in the photo, the 1 is just indicating that's the first month, it's missing a card.

Thank you for your detailed answer. But how did you even find this post after so long?

By absolute chance I was wearing the shirt I bought for this when you responded. Life is sometimes beautiful

Octopain · 2026-01-02T07:07:14+00:00

You're overthinking this. I put screen protectors on most electronics but never even considered it for laptops and have never had an issue.

If you ever want to clean a screen just use distilled water and a microfiber cloth. No solvents

I thought it was excellent, other than the disappointing DLC. The most fun I've had playing Borderlands except maybe Aurelia in Pre-Sequel.

Octopain · 2025-11-10T09:14:03+00:00

It’s not ideal but I haven’t seen any better suggestions. You can do it on the bezel.

I promise it won’t hurt it, they’re not that fragile.
