How many toes do they got?

I must know!

fishbone ,

Is there some kind of reference to this that I accidentally made? I was asking an honest question because Maine Coons tend to have extra toes (polydactyl).

fishbone ,

All good, I was just confused is all.

I'm not sure if Maine Coons specifically have a genetic predisposition for polydactylism, but I do know that it's a relatively common trait that's paired with them because of selective breeding.

fishbone ,

Inconceivable!

To be fair, monster hunter goes buck fucking wild with calamities though.

"Hey hunter, rumor has it, your next target is either the devil sent to destroy the world, or possibly the mother of all creation. Here's some whetstones!"

"Sup hunter. Got a volcano on our hands. Do us a favor and kill it, would you? Don't forget your lucky cape."

"Oh hey! Hope you don't mind a little wind, cause your next quest is to kill the god of hurricanes! Best to take a quick dip in the sauna before you go."

"Hunter, how's it going? I know this week's been pretty crazy with the rogue fighter jet and the giant mech suit you killed already, but if you could just do me a solid and jump into that ominous pit and kill death itself for me, that'd be very cool of you. The chef made a nice fondue for you before you head out!"

https://xpadder.com/

Just double checked the email confirmation from when I bought it in 2016. Most recent xpadder version is 2024.05.01.

Also if you're looking for controller remapping software (and you're on windows OS), check out DS4Windows. Contrary to the name, it works for most brands of controller, and it's got a lot of stuff that xpadder doesn't.

I landed on it for the better control stick adjusting (you can change dead zone/max zone, and also sensitivity curve). I stuck with it because it can use an emulated controller while hiding the actual controller from programs and games (which solves any double input jank from shit like steam).

Also it can also map gyro controls to mouse input, which is real neat for essentially using my joycons as a remote for my pc, and the occasion where splatoon style gyro aiming fits in games without being too barfy.

Last update a month and a half ago. Great for what it is, but ds4windows is my go to until it stops working for me. More complicated, but it offers a good deal more finetuning.

The Plagiarian theorem is a real bummer.

To quote alice in wonderland:

What game are we playing? I feel like i've said this while playing starcraft 2 about the tier 1 protoss ranged units (stalkers?).

Now you listen here! I may have lost part of my brain in a wolverine attack, but... I know one thing and one thing's for sure, and that is the block chain is the future of currency. You think- oh, "fiat currency"? You th- what, "state backed dollars"? What could be better than a completely unaccountable system of absolute strangers and con artists, assembled together in a bizarre crypto fascist commune?

Jails banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls as part of a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with prison phone companies ( arstechnica.com )

Across the United States, hundreds of jails have eliminated in-person family visits over the last decade. Why has this happened? The answer highlights a profound flaw in how decisions too often get made in our legal system: for-profit jail telecom companies realized that they could earn more profit from phone and video calls if...

Not who you asked but my money is on something more in line with transformative justice.

Protip: set up a macro to type out site:reddit.com if you can't be fucked to type after every search.

fishbone ,

What model, and could I get your opinion/recommendation on them? I've had a pair of "JBL Tune 760NC" headphones for a few months now and they're okay, but the noise cancelling isn't nearly as good as I'd hoped.

What is a gender neutral replacement for man, guys, buddy, etc?

So I've realized that in conversations I'll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I've been thinking that it's not as inclusive to women/trans people....

fishbone ,

As much as I so dearly love the word scallywag, it already has an extremely rigid place in my vocabulary as a cat-exclusive term.

fishbone ,

I seriously doubt they removed seats because people were sitting on them.

Really? With all the awful shit that cities do to homeless populations, this is hard to believe?

Check out some examples of "hostile architecture". Cities will dump a ton of money on making areas unusable for anything other than walking. Hell, there's no benches at all where I live, and instead there's signs at major intersections saying it's illegal to gove money to the homeless, and I've seen much worse in other cities.

If ye wish to climb the stairs,

Then first endure our three glares.

For moving, we aren't in the mood,

Though we may change our tune for food.

And a warning should our bowls lay empty,

Misfortune falls swift and plenty.

So please, appease us kitties three,

Lest ye wake in a bed of pee.

I am genuinely horrified to see how much data google collected from me

I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every...

fishbone ,

For you, maybe. Mine is filled with black screen pocket photos, furry porn, and 714 copies of a video of a horrifying mecha furby that's stepping on its own removed face.

Another copy shows up every time I have a nightmare about it, which is pretty odd, now that I think about it.

Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space?

I'm curious, how many people are aware of these sounds. I have designed, etched, and built my own switching power supplies along with winding my own transformers. I am aware of the source of the noise. So, does anyone else hear these high frequency sounds regularly?

fishbone ,

Ah yes, what a great superpower to have when your brain essentially registers every single noise like it needs your full attention, every time.

Framing extremely debilitating things as a "superpower" feels wildly ignorant and disrespectful.

96% of mammals by biomass. Still a what the fuck moment, but a noteworthy difference between that and all animals.
