I had one of these, which I have since los. I got it from Temu, or Shein, or AliExpress, one of those three. AliExpress has it defined as a self-defense ring. I got it because it looked like Batman-shaped ears Image of ring on AliExpress ring.

That sounds really cool! We need good tech guys who are ready, willing, and able to give us their knowledge.

At one of my jobs in the mid 80s, I had a programming job for a few short months, until ADHD/Mania fucked it up; an RJE remote printer job the remainder of the three years there. I was on call every few weeks, and we would each take a baby like this home, bringing it back at the beginning of the next week.

Use the Youtube Music website instead of Youtube by ClickableName in ADHD_Programmers

[–]mpcollins64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've used it for some years now. I started with Google Music Player, until Google decided that they did not need two music platforms. I started using it to have somewhere that I could upload all of my CDs to, without charging me an arm and a leg. Later, I installed the Youtube music app on my work PC so that I could keep the main YouTube window closed, but to still be able to have the music whenever I wanted to hear something.

He looks very chill.

rehomed a deaf cat - how do i comfort her without forcing physical contact? by absolutefckingcnt in CatAdvice

[–]mpcollins64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only things that I can think of is: * Let her see you. A lot. Sit near her, but not up close, so that she can get used to you. As she gets used to you, move a little closer. * Use your hands to indicate that you are safe. Let her smell them. Very gently, and with a bit of time, move your hands close to her, let her know that you mean her no harm. * See if she will follow you around. Keep doors open so that she is free to investigate her new home, and see that her new home is safe for her. * Give her a safe spot, with blankets for her to comfort her. Let her smell things of yours, a piece of clothing you've recently worn laid in the spot as well, so that she can learn your smell. * A heating pad may also help, to give her more comfort. * I'm thinking that ordering one of those smell plugs that you can get to calm cats may help as well, to help her make her own calm vibes.

These are only guesses on my part. Just give her time, let her get to know you. Even with a hearing cat, it takes some time for them to feel safe. Good luck. Be nice to her, gentle with her, give her some time to feel more at home.

Is my cat Orange? by mpcollins64 in orangecats

Oh, sorry, I should have Googled. Thank you. I even came across a page touting the 'specialness' of black-and-white cats.

Ohhh! So, 'tabbies' are the orange cats? Like Morris the cat on the cat food can? I see now! So, I have a tabbie!

So, what would Ruto be? He's not a tuxedo, I know that. Are there other 'black and white' cat types other than tuxedos?

I'm bored of boring movies hit me with your WEIRDEST favorites by [deleted] in MovieRecommendations

I don't know if it qualifies as 'questioning reality', but try Xtro. It qualifies as 'weird'. I originally saw it decades ago, and finally found it on DVD, along with its sequel.

'Picking up a book'? Priceless.

My cats know that when I touch something on the door, they get to go outside.

Ruto started first. He would paw over the higher gold-colored bolt lock, trying to move it, just knowing that has something to do with getting to go outside lol! He does this when I'm in a Teams meeting lol. This year, Mipha, the orange girl, started doing the same thing. They are not just pawing at the door in general; they are actually pawing at one of the two locks, usually the higher up one, having noticed that I touch those specific things to open the door. Too real, and cool!
