@wanderinghermit Oof, yeah, we also have an inductive cooktop in the kitchen with touch sensitive buttons. Luckily that doesn't heat without a pan on the surface and it has a lock button that requires a 3-second press to unlock. (Of course one of our cats figured out how to unlock that to make it make fun noises)

A relative bought a new Amazon Fire Stick and it was delivered apparently already capable of connecting to their wifi out of the box? Jinkies. Very smooth upgrade process but jinkies.

Every now and then I think "I like The Killers" and then I hear a song from The Killers and think "but not that one" and then I hear another and think "but not that one either" and then I hear one more and think "oh no, that one's really annoying" and eventually I realize I only actually like their very first album and their cover of Joy Division's Shadowplay and that's it.

@rk Well they also got the one with Shadowplay on it but it's weird because it only has the one track

Been trying for a week now to get Catsby to take a literally very bitter pill. If I don't get him to swallow it right away and he tastes it at all, he starts drooling and foaming at the mouth.

The trick that worked the last two nights is to approach him with his favorite bag of treats. I give him one treat and then he's all hyped up.

Then, I pop the pill into the back of his mouth and immediately shove another treat in. Usually that gets him to gobble it right down. Hoping this keeps working

What kinda sucks is the pill has a coating on it that's supposed to make it go down easier. But I have to cut it into quarters, so that kinda wrecks that.

Dang, really getting pulled into an early-to-mid 2000s indie rock nostalgia vortex with this Twitch DJ.

Playing around with a dashboard in grafana for a site in AWS and this looks weirdly menacing but I like it?

@cruftbox That's super cool but also super yikes? It does save on a lot of setup hassle though
