Cat scratching post (cottonwood) -- sanded top smooth to remove chainsaw marks -- what to seal with?
If you are gonna let your cat mess with it, I would go with a food safe style finish you would use on cutting boards or the like. Might have to reapply occasionally, but better than running the risk of the cat chipping off and ingesting a more permanent type of finish.

Is it possible to have a usable domain without a VPS or a static IP address?
Could you use dynamic DNS? Pretty sure there are some free options.

Joy Reid claims MSNBC fired her without warning, speculates her coverage of Trump, Gaza led to ouster
Reply in thread
Not in the good old US of A. At-will employment is the norm, so unless it is very clear that she was fired for her race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability, not much she can do.

Sigourney Weaver in the airlock with the Alien Queen from Aliens (1986)
Once upon a time, I made a lifelong friend because for the longest time they were the only other person I knew who had seen the weird cut with the automated pulse rifles scene. No one else would believe us that it existed for years. I guess until the interwebs.

Why so many men like to play with a female character?
I think for a lot of people part of the fantasy is getting to be someone else.

I want to like Star Wars more than I do.
I would argue that Luke was never just told he was a master and that was that. He left his training with Yoda early, against advisement, and lost a hand as a result of not being ready. His swagger in Return of the Jedi was largely an act, by his own admission, and had his father not turned, Luke would have been made a stain by Palpatine. As the new films progressed, it was clear he was still full of doubt, hence the failure with Kylo. Maybe he finally felt and acted like a master after his self imposed exile, meeting Rey and coming to terms with what he had to do. However the way he went about it was informed by a lifetime of loss and failure. This made him seek a path that was different than those that went before him, who cocked it all up with their overconfidence and willingness to throw their weight around.

quick question about FPS
Do you have Fluid Motion or some sort of frame fill/smoothing turned on? My understanding is that the in game counter would not detect the extra frames generated by Adrenaline.

If scientists could make you immortal but could only do it by transferring your consciousness into a single video game for ever, which game would you choose?
Cyberpunk. Lots to do, and ostensibly all the other video games in VR.

Prestidigitation shenanigans
It is just little tricks for entertainment/practice. So you could do the table smack, but it would be obvious you were casting a spell to do it, and the mark would fade after the spell wore off. It was never really meant to have serious utility. There are feats that can help remove component requirements, which could help with stealth, as it's usually the verbal/somatic bits that give you away. That being said, being able to douse/light candles and lamps is pretty handy. You can temporarily mark locations or routes for allies, or use the same to confuse or mislead someone, at least within the hour duration. There are probably tons of more creative uses out there if you do a little forum digging.

Thought I'd introduce myself to this place with my daily
Very nice. I have a similar project languishing on my poor, ignored workbench. You may have inspired me to change that. Good typing to you!

What tourist destinations do you think are NOT overrated?
The North Shore of Lake Superior, in Minnesota. You need a car, though.

Is it mean to use a bird identification app to call birds in closer?
Yes. Maybe try feeders. Binoculars also work, but may require some patience.Doesn't seem like you need to tease/antagonize them to be able to see them.

weird ant with a very big head
That one is probably a major worker. They use their big mandibles to break seeds and cut stuff up for the minor workers, who have smaller heads, to transport back to the nest.
