  1. For a few years when I was 12-15, I got a couple of models a year to build.

    I used to build them downstairs in the poorly ventilated basement because mom couldn’t stand the smell of the various mind bending, slightly toxic enamel paints and glue.

    I’m surprised I didn’t become a total idiot…

    right?

  2. It seems I still have some electronic skills. I finally replaced my Macbook battery and saved about $300 Canuck (when you factor in taxes too) buying one off Amazon… Just didn’t have the 1 1/2 straight hours required to change it till now.

    Best part is no mysterious glitches because I put all the cables in properly and no extra mystery parts.

  3. The Guardian has an article about a big cats reserve in Washington that’s had several big cats die of bird flu.

    They’re thinking it’s from the raw pet food they ordered for them, which I believe tested positive for bird flu. There’s been a housecat in Oregon eating the same brand that also died of bird flu. And cases of barn cats dying of it after drinking raw milk. I don’t know if the raw pet food contained raw infected poultry or raw milk or raw beef from infected cattle.

    So if you know people who feed their cats raw pet food with poultry, please let them know.

    More concerning, we now have species getting infected from eating from eating raw food from other infected animals. This is really not good from an epidemiology perspective.

  4. in unrelated news i have decided binfluencer is my word of the year

    which is the first person on any street to put the bin out for bin day thereby inspiring the rest of the street to also do so

    sometimes there isnt a binfluencer and the whole street misses bin day…its kind of amazing

    anyways…i didnt know i needed there to be a word for that person….but now that there is…my world is a better place

  5. ugh got dragged into a doggo search for a little brown doggo what got clipped by one of our speeding idiots and ran off

    doggo has now been found but apparently got clipped again

    still alive when i got told about it……but thats probably a temporary thing….cats and dogs occasionally get away with a clip from a car…..2 tho?…its not unpossible…but ive never seent it

    incidentally…police also got involved to…uhh…well…prevent the driver from getting lynched i think… dog owners go hard..
