He's pretty weird in a way that he has better… "manual dexterity" if I might put it that way, than most cats — he also uses paws differently when he plays with toys: most cats try to push the toy down to the ground — he tries to catch the toy mid-air as if he has fingers. Well, he does, but rudimentary ones — not like those of humans or monkeys.
It's quite entertaining how he uses his front paws not like cats normally do!

@mirabilos @bbsmooth
Anyway, that was probably when he picked up the habit and sometimes he eats like that ever since. First I thought that maybe eating from a bowl might be a problem for him, but no — when he's hungry he eats like cats normally do, not problem with the bowl at all, but when he's just snacking and he's alone in the kitchen, he resorts to this stately and elegant eating manner of his 😹
First he was using it for dry food only, but has since adopted it for both types of meals.

@mirabilos @bbsmooth
Mine are smaller than average cats so they don't have any problems. Although one of my cats adopted this habit to pick the food out of the bowl with his paws — he had to wear elizabethan collar for a rather long time after my other cat gave him a bad scratch, he was abusing my having to remove the collar for him to eat to run away and hide under the bad and scratching his wound again, it took longer than a month for the wound to heal because of that.

> massive parallelism isn't the distinctive feature of Erlang
Well, it used to be — green threads (and in case with Erlang, green processes) weren't a built-in feature in many languages at the time, and being implemented externally made the code feel clunky.
Nowadays Go comes with both coroutines as a built-in language feature and channels as an efficient form of IPC, in Rust they are still external to the language, but with syntax extension do not feel so clunky.

@newt
Oh, I see, it was a tiny bit of wishful thinking 😁
I've never really used Erlang, but I did like it… like 14 years ago — but now we have decent massive parallelism in nearly every language, so I'd probably go with Go instead. I would use Go for a lot of things, but having Google at the helm ruins it for me — very disappointing 😩

@kaia
Yeah, sex for the pleasure with women "is kinda gay" (that's what we have sex with men for🤭) — sex with women is solely for making babies. This guy would give even the Victorian-era homosexual men a run for their money 🤣

@EndlessMason
Good points and you are probably right, but to me, for some reason, on intuitive level it still feels like it can be turned, if it was my friends' place I know I'd be still attempting to turn it and be falling for it every time 😅
@ahltorp @davidbisset

@EndlessMason
So like… Make it a passive door knob, but make it have a form of a handle that suggests that it can be turned, but in fact… it can't be turned?! 🤯
That's perfect!

I refuse to read that Hawking book, so foot fetishist you are! 🤪

Do they give talks like "Account suspension as user number growth driver" at conferences? 😂
Or do they not want to reveal their trade secrets? 🫢

@catto
We have too much computing power on our hands and IMO had it for quite some time already. When it comes to hosting personal services, it's I/O, not the CPU that is the bottleneck — but you've got it covered with those SSDs.

Why is it $50 for him and only $30 for her? Gift card nominal value gap? 😮
