That could be my happy place

That was my thought too. If it had that, it would have everything I want a phone to have. On paper at least, things don’t always match spec lists

It is when they’re acting as a police force.

Pfft, that’s target practice

Goats are so fun.

I’ve never had any myself, which may be why I think of them being fun first, but they are a riot

Someone needs pats, stat

Good fences do help make good neighbors. And, good neighbors can obviously make a good fence even better.

It has definitely been a goal. How far they’ll get with legislators against them, I dunno. But it’s what Pinchai and the people in control wanted because they think it’s part of what made Apple powerful

I hope to fuck not.

Please, no.

He is such a douche bag, and a lot of his fan base is too.

I mean, us cripples aren’t all united in it being a slur.

To the contrary, there’s a growing number that embrace it because it doesn’t downplay how serious many disabilities can be.

I could get across it on my cane, but I know way more people that need one that couldn’t

Which is my way of backing up what you said, with clarification that not everyone on a cane is exactly the same, what with some people looking at canes as less serious of a medical device than walkers. I mean, I guess that’s true to a minor extent, but there’s a ton of overlap where a person could use either one equally well.

Could be! I just thought I saw dong.

I’ve been around cows, steer, and bulls, but not enough to notice that kind of difference at a glance in a low res pic. Hell, probably wouldn’t catch that kind of thing in high def tbh.

Come to think of it though, older cows aren’t usually taken to shows, at least not around here.

They be going to a livestock show.

If you’ve never been to one, they are more fun, but way smellier, than you’d think.

In smaller, local shows, chances are good you’ll get to pet some of the critters once they’ve been judged. I highly recommend petting any cattle, goats, and horses that you’re allowed to.

Pigs, less so. Even the spoiled rotten ones are prone to squealing randomly, and it is ear splitting.

If you’re lucky, someone local will have less common stuff like emus or alpaca. Pet the mammals, don’t go near the dinosaurs. Not that emu are any more prone to biting/pecking than alpacas (though they can be) it’s more than emu don’t have a throttle. Whatever they do, they do it hard. Well, in my limited experience anyway.

But don’t ever just assume you’re allowed to approach and touch the animals. You can ask, but adept accept the more probable no with a smile. Not all critters handle strangers well, even if they’re very socialized. Some of the humans just don’t like strangers touching their animals. Sometimes it’s show policy.

I think that cow is being used in the generic, and inaccurate, sense of being synonymous with cattle.

I’m fairly sure those are steer, not cows.

I dunno, you throw enough glitter around and anything is cute

Jfc, I can’t even calculate.

Music, if we say 10 bucks a CD, at least 10k. Probably closer to 20k, and maybe more because I haven’t actually counted in years because I didn’t see the point in trying to keep up. However, I just went and looked at the folder on my nas and it has 1k+ albums on it, and that’s way less than is on my main drive on my media PC. So even the 20k estimate is a lot lower than what’s actually there. Likely closer to the $50k mark if my memory is right. I tend to grab whole albums rather than individual tracks only, and I’m prone to grabbing an entire discography when I discover a new band. My music collection is around 2tb total, I know that without looking.

Movies, even at the same price, it would be around the 8k mark somewhere, though they aren’t all in one place, so I cant be certain. There’s a little over 1k files on the nas, but that’s only the ones that everyone wanted available on there.

Books, I’m fucked. Call it 5 bucks for a cheap paperback, and I’m close to 10k, if not over. Hard to be sure because I do have duplicates in multiple formats. I’ve whittled down to only “borrowing” epub files and converting on my own if someone borrows an ebook from me and wants a different format, but I’ve never gone through and deleted mobis and whatnot. But it’s around 3k files on my boox reader, plus more on my nas drive that I really only keep because I like having access to some reference materials but don’t use them often enough to justify keeping them on devices. So 15k there, at that price.

I just checked because I was curious. Almost 18k files of ebooks. That, however, does include classics that I only read occasionally, copies in multiple formats, stuff that isn’t for me (kid, wife, etc), and probably some stuff that I read once and never will again, but didn’t delete. So, over 50,000 bucks at 5 bucks each.

Comics, that’s easier because a scanned version doesn’t really have a monetary value at all, and most of my collection is of OOP stuff. So, depending on how you look at what a price should be, it’s $0, maybe 600 bucks at $1 each, or you’d have to track cover prices on all of it, and I ain’t doing that lol.

Tbh, I can’t think of the last time I pirated a game. I just don’t game that much on my desktop any more, and I know I haven’t in the 10 odd years I’ve had that specific hard drive.

If I tried to factor in stuff that was higher priced at some point (and CDs used to be pretty expensive), numbers would go up.

Shit. Even if I wiped out the stuff I have physical copies of, it would still be in the 100k range I think.

Ngl, if I hadn’t previously seen cat towers with holes in them like that, I likely would have assumed that the bottom paw was an ai indicator at first too.

Mind you, I would likely have zoomed in to check because, unlike a decent phone camera, most ai images don’t zoom well, you start seeing artifacts; a real picture will usually zoom well enough and pixilate a little different. It isn’t foolproof, and eventually it won’t be that easy as the various models improve.

But both versions posted here are almost definitely real pictures of an actual cat, not generated. Zoom in a little and you can see reflections and fur details that won’t be there with ai

Alas, no. You could hypothetically replace the board though, which would allow you to continue using the rest of the hardware. But you have to source the part, and switch it out, which isn’t always possible
