I have a cat whose matting problem has become deplorable, and did so over a series of months. But she turns into a hissing, clawing, biting bundle of fury if you bring a trimmer anywhere around her. It's weird because she isn't a longhaired cat (but is a calico with pretty dense fur). Anyway the sound causes her to go completely insane.

This is the hissiest, most semi-feral, violent cat I've ever had.

Finally got a dematting thing from Amazon, with a 9-prong dematting brush on one side and a 15-prong smoothing one on the other side. She was skeptical at first, and it took about three hour long sessions even to get a little bit of it off, but once she realized it was actually removing the mats, she absolutely loves it and insists on it, loudly purring the whole time (until eventually getting annoyed and hissing).

On the fourth session, finally large chunks of this crap started coming off. Now my floor is covered in balls of cat fur. There's still plenty more to do but at least an end is in sight to this furball nightmare.
 
Got one of Donny's buyout offers. Debating whether or not to take it, but I'm legitimately leaning towards it. I like my job, but cost of living is buttfucking me, and DC just isn't as fun as it was like a decade ago (although this is probably true for most major cities).

If I take it, I'll probably go home to Alabama when my lease expires in a few months, and take some time to think about what I want to do, where I want to live, etc.
 
I got my Mini PC by my TV to play Youtube videos through Kodi with the API ad-free after spending a couple hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and leading myself in circles. I'm hoping to set up torrenting next. It's been fantastic, highly recommend.

Today I woke up at 5:10 am to the sounds of a cat in destressed outside. The sounds were almost like moaning or like a cat having acks and pain. At first I kept laying on my bed but it wouldn't stop outside. So I finally got up and got out of the house to check and see what was going on. Outside on the porch, it was two stray cats screwing each other. To quote Ananswerd oddities "That was quite the sight". One was a black cat and the other was a fat grey one. Later today I saw both cats casually walking down the street not together but like if neither of them made love to each other just a several of hours before. Our natural world is a strange but wonderful place.
 
Today I "miraculously" "fixed" a zoomer coworker's lunch by disassembling his sandwiches and adding a pinch of salt to the buttered sides. Some time ago he began to complain that his snacks felt like he was biting into a cold kitchen sponge dressed in snot. I've never seen a kid so happy after a simple bologna and cheese sammich. Is salt outlawed in today's society or something?
 
Today I wondered if cutting yourself and bleeding all over the potatoes you're supposed to be cooking counts as cannibalism if you go ahead and eat them anyway.
 
Today I finally realized why the omni-brand in Sheep in The Big City was called Oxymoron.

It's because its mascot is a retarded ox. Ox, a moron, if you will. :stress:
 
Today marks the very first time in 24 years of me playing D2 (on and off) that I got a set item from gambling, and it was Hsarus' Iron Heel while leveling a ladder Paladin. Up to this point I was 100% convinced that set & unique items did not exist in the gambling pool and that all images and videos of people getting them were fabricated, including the infamous Gull strategy. Now I'm only 50% convinced, since I have to get a unique still.
 
Finally, for the first time in a month, actually mowed the lawn to completion. The weather has done nothing but be so hot you instantly get heatstroke just walking out to the car, to raining just enough to make the grass too wet to mow, then returning immediately to so humid your sweat doesn't even cool you down, because it can't evaporate.

God I hate lawns. You get them done, and then it rains again and they grow back and you have to do it again. Why was this shit invented? We should all just have vines for lawns.
 
Today I spent 5 hours getting Windows 10 LTSC installed on my laptop after buying a new SSD for it.
Process was as follows:
  • my USB drive gave me a setup error (missing drivers, this has happened before)
  • had to write a Linux Mint ISO to another USB drive on my phone using an adapter
  • installed Linux Mint
  • set up VirtualBox and installed Windows 10 on there (Lenovo's official recovery tool, which magically fixes the problem, only works on Windows)
  • installed Lenovo's recovery tool
  • wrote the recovery (bloatware-filled) Windows ISO to a USB drive
  • installed it on my PC
  • then I had to pirate the LTSC edition and write that to a USB drive
  • then I finally got LTSC working
In total I installed an OS four fucking times today. It may sound stupid, but that long process is the only way I know of to get the "missing drivers" error to go away. Something about Lenovo's recovery ISO fixes it for all future Windows installs.

"Why didn't you just load the drivers?"

It never works, no matter how I do it. This process I use takes forever but it's guaranteed to work.
 
Today I have taken care of <individual> whilst their usual caretaker is away having their own medical procedure. My conclusion at the end of the evening, having helped <individual> retire to bed, is that cancer may be a bitch, but chemotherapy is a war crime. I genuinely question the ethics of doing this to anybody, regardless of age or circumstance.
 
Mixed coffee, chocolate milk, cinnamon, Cruzcampo, and Scotch, in attempt to make a bizarre, yet fulfilling stout-chaser... thing.

It was so contradictory, it was awful. I threw it down the kitchen sink, and mildly regretted doing so. #ItsBoozeChugItYouFuckingPussy
 
Officially starting my new job on 11-10 after getting paid to do nothing for most of the year. It's definitely not something I can see myself doing long-term, but it's remote (with some travel) and it will keep the lights on.

It's still a pretty shitty market, but now that I have all of that finalized, I think I'm going to go ahead and casually start to look at houses.
