  • I tried that, we got a few auto feeders for a trip. Worked for those few days, but when we decided to stick with them, two of the cats eventually figured out how to manually dispense. I taped over the manual button, so they learned how to dig their paws in and around the inside to push the food out.

    Problem there is that they were taking from the next batch that was set to dispense. The meal time would come and nothing would come out because they already ate it. They’d get mad and knock it them over, so they’d starve if I didn’t intervene.

    Yeah they’re little dickheads.

    I’m sure there’s more robust auto feeders but I can only learn that after my cats have had a few weeks to fuck around with them 😂



  • There’s no requirement, and there’s no reason a white person can’t go to a black barbershop, but black people’s hair is often much different to cut than most white people’s hair, and preferred styles quite different.

    It’s not so much “this barber is for black people” and more so “this barber is owned by black people, so black people can assume they’ll be given the experience they’re looking for”

    I had to install a network adapter driver the other day. Had to use my wife’s computer to download into a flash drive and bring it over to my computer with zero network connectivity.

    Granted, this only happened because my network card was broken.

    Thermonuclear take; the kind of work it takes to perform well in school is exactly the kind of work society is preparing kids for, so good school performance can still be a strong indication they’ll be good employees.

    Wether or not our society and schools are right for that is a much more interesting topic of debate. Kids who crush it in school (and continue to crush it all the way through college) will go on to make their companies loads of money for cheap.



  • Depends on a lot of things. I started an apprenticeship machining, and now I want to turn my garage into a machine shop.

    I think the important thing is that you make sure you keep some of it for you.

    If I did turn my garage into a machine shop, it would be tempting to start taking orders. That’s where my hobby would turn into more work, having to meet orders and timelines.
