Let’s fuckin GO MOUNTAINEERS. First time I’ve been proud of my alma mater.

When my cat was a kitten she crawled into one of my dresser drawers while I was in the shower, and after I got dressed I closed the drawer, not knowing she was in there. Poor thing was in there from about 4pm-11pm. I came home to a very traumatized cat who still won’t go into confine spaces. Check your drawers!

It… Wasn’t great. It felt pretty souless. My wife and I saw it yesterday since we have MoviePass and figured might as well. I’d wait for it to stream free.

Ah that makes sense. Thank you! Seen the movie, have not read the book. Gonna give that a go!

Just finished The Red Rising series and am still feeling spacey, this sounds great. What book is this?

I figured as much and wouldn’t have further spread it without confirmation, but yeah it wouldn’t even be the most shocking defense I’ve heard at this point.

Alright no one’s asking so I’m doing it. Are these real quotes? And ain’t it a shame we’re living in a time I need to ask that?

It’s wild you says this because my wife discovered this stuff about a month ago and it’s now literally on everything. Can vouch, it’s amazing.

Yeah, that’s something I’ve been trying to work out. I was thinking it would be plugged in and included those wall covering tracks in the package, but ultimately that’s no solution. And if it’s mounted getting it down to charge or replace batteries doesn’t make much sense.

Yes, I’ve seen this before. Well not this specific article, but the idea that the laser pointer doesn’t give them that tactile satisfaction. Again, we do play with our cats with lots of touch toys. Just thought this may be a fun other toy.

I can, but we’re gone at work all day. Having something that can engage them when they want would be very useful. We play with them, but I think it’s a bit of a generalization to say it’s dehumanizing or we can’t make the time. There’s nothing wrong with wanting an additional thing besides myself to enrich my pets lives.

Edit: also, the angles. Our home is narrow and so to give them a good workout it requires a lot of moving around and holding the laser pointer over my head to get a good angle on it. Clearly you don’t have a cat, cause it’s 20-30 minutes when I bust it out, not 5. They fucking love the thing. Having something that knows the bounds of the space and can move through it smoother and more consistently than I can would be great.

Thanks for all the advice and responses. Sounds like anything coming to fruition is pretty unlikely, as I don’t have $100k to work with. The product was a programmable wall/ceiling mounted laser pointer for cats. Could map your space, design patterns, and maybe have some tracking to keep the laser in front of your pets and avoid it shining in their eyes. The controller app would connect via Bluetooth so it’d be local and no personal data like video or mapping would get stored, as I wanted to emphasize privacy.

Maybe someone more qualified can do something with it. Or Amazon will build it. Idc, it’s just something I’d like and thought it was a pretty good idea. One that, admittedly, I probably won’t do the work required to actually make.

I mean I saw these on people last time I took acid. Does that count?

I went to Shanghai last year and there were, in fact, homeless people around. Not many at all, but I was surprised to see any.

Ah, I had not heard about these. Thanks for the links!

Did one or both of those things happen to you on a United flight? Was it the same flight? Did they break your guitar over you? Did you discover your guitar was broken and went to complain and the dude behind the counter just started beating the shit out of you?

I’m locked in and would love the context.

Kingdom Hearts would like a word.

For most, “College” is the first 4 or so years getting a bachelor’s degree. Beyond that is “Grad school” where you get Graduate degrees like PhDs, Masters degrees, and whatnot.

I only did undergrad and the degree was in acting so take what I say with a grain of salt as I am an authority on practically nothing.

Saw the movie tonight and to be fair, the main antagonist is quite literally a parody of trump. From the fake tan to the pompous blustering. They even go so far as to have him get nicked by a bullet on his cheek. It’s pretty on the nose.
