Tennis is quite famously played in Europe. For example, at a little place called Wimbledon.

A baseball bat is basically a wooden stick that's strong enough to hit a ball without breaking (usually).

Stitch helping with the laundry

More Stitch: Last night, after I turned off the light, he came up to my face (I was laying on my side). After a short conversation with him about how I was hoping to fall asleep quickly, he flopped down on the side of my face. I told my wife she should take a look at the situation. A moment later, I heard her laughing and she said, "Stitchercat, never change!"

I said, "He could change a little bit!" Fortunately, Stitch got up after a moment and went back to curling up at my feet.

Classic

One of our cats curls up at or on my feet at night. I generally get a little bit of movement, but if there's too much, the claws come out, and I get punished.

If I wake up, he often comes up to my head and demands attention. He rarely actually wakes me up, he has the decency to wait for me to wake up. Usually.

Still a better deal than my wife gets, our 60lb dog loves to curl up with her, baking her and sometimes even kicking her out of bed. Several times a week I wake up and she's not there, while the dog is curled up on her pillow.

What are the worst distro-specific problems you have faced?

Debian - the very slight value hassle of having to install the web blobs for glances manually. This is really minor, because it only comes up occasionally, but it's rare enough that I can't remember what the path is each time.

That said, I totally agree with Debian's stance on the issue, and I think glances should change their process. Debian's way makes me acknowledge the risk of installing the blob. It'd be nice if there was a package I could install after going, yep, I know this is potentially dangerous.

Honestly I thought I'd be disappointed with Debian on my gaming machine, but it works fine. I updated Wine to the newer version on their site (instead of using Debian's packages), and it works great.

What's in the bag!?

Reply in thread

We have a bag that is specifically for carrying cats. Someone gave it to us after her cats hated it, but I don't think we ever tried it. And the cat who is most likely to agree to it isn't in great shape health wise. He's a gray and white mix like yours.

I believe their paws and head hang out.

Last Place is so great. Some of them are a bit too far out there for me (and I love that he does them, even if they aren't to my taste), but so many of them make me actually laugh out loud.

I posted my favorite one here a while back, but it was on my previous account on lemm.ee, so it's hard to find the post.
