Have no worries, the kitten is not deconstructed like that rabbit they painted across half the porch a few days ago.

In other happy news, today I have tried cheesecake milkshake for the first time.

Were this a just world, the gods would strike me down so that I die this day, at the zenith of my existence.

Weeellll... it's not the real scare. It's one of several, many of them potentially kinda' bundled together :V

Turns out earth's climate is bugnuts well connected, borderline brazilian butterfly level, and when one thing starts going haywire a shitload of other things can, too! Also they have a distinct inclination towards sorta' holding each other back until one thing goes too far, and then everything promptly goes too far. From a scientific perspective it's really rather incredibly interesting. From the practical perspective, well. "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt..."

Also somewhat helpful is to check the current CO2 ppm levels (which are actually higher than that chart goes ). Then you can really look back at the chart and go "~135% of the highest amount recorded in last ~half million years say what?"

... ree, that has absolutely nothing to do with this thread, the current topic, or the immediate discussion you've stepped into. Please don't.

Not actually in arizona, heh, and the nearest free/low cost options I'm aware of are mostly an hour or more's drive away and usually quota'd fairly hard to boot. That search did come up with a couple I wasn't aware of, though, if ones still about that far out. Still 40-50+ usd (plus cost of gas for the trip >_>) which... shit, ~half price is a lot better. It's still more than I'd be able to convince people to pay for a passel of outside cats, unfortunately, and I couldn't pay it myself. Still a good thing to be aware of in the future, heh, so thanks.

And yeah, insofar as the snakes go the only major indication was size/swelling and a bit of shakiness (protip: Watching a cat die to neurotoxins is a complete motherfucker), but it's still a concern, especially with things warming up and the fact that they can occasionally cause death a few days after the bite itself. With the area draining and whatnot it's probably not that, fortunately.

And will do, heh. Cat in particular's one of the handful that's particularly friendly, so it gets attention most of the time I go out the front door.

... dude wants to get rid of Dodd-Frank? Well, if he gets elected and manages to do it, all I can say is I hope all of you like cooked books, because that thing was one of the best things to happen to US accounting practices in regards to integrity in a long damn time. Don't quite remember the details on that front, but I do quite remember the stuff it shuts down is some of the shit that led to junk like Enron's accounting practices, which was part of what let them do what they did.

Though I guess the details will come out when that economic policy plan does, assuming there's any actual details involved in it :V

... I am also learning that Rohrabacher is both bloody insane and talks a good goddamn hell of a lot. As in, I was going to post a transcript of one uninterrupted talk by the guy as an example, and it broke the forum's 40k character limit.

E: Okay, it's now really sinking in that that is apparently common for congress sessions. Folks, I think I've figured out one of the reasons they're having trouble getting things done. These people are apparently less concise than a drunken philosophy freshmen.
