The Who
Pre-Caturday fun...
So there's a terrifying video about a woman who was attacked by a bobcat in her driveway. It may be traumatic to see, so I'm not linking to it here; you'll just have to find it yourself if you are so motivated.
Anyway, the wife started screaming because it was biting and claw puncturing up her back and side as it climbed up her body. Her husband immediately ran around the car and saw that the cat was trying to bite the side of her neck, which is actually how a lot of animals deal a killing bite; to sever the carotid artery which feeds the brain with oxygen. Without even thinking, he reached in with his hand to block its teeth.
With the cat now firmly latched on to his arm instead of his wife's neck, he used his right arm and now-punctured left arm to lift the cat off of her and run about 15-20 feet with it now trying to kill HIM!
He got to the middle of the front lawn and wound-up and threw the animal as far as he could toward the next-door neighbor's front lawn, maybe clearing another 10-15 feet from the driveway. He was hoping that it would run off or that he could maybe, now that he had range between him and this deadly attacker, take an "escalated" action. The cat didn't break off the attack, so the guy put it down.
It turns out that the bobcat actually had rabies, and both the husband and wife, now having puncture wounds all over their bodies from teeth and claws, had to each get a cycle of rabies shots. Some of the news articles say 30 injections each, but I thought that rabies could be treated now with fewer shots. Did I dream that? Well, we do all know how the media often get the facts wrong.
But if it's true, man oh man, 30 injections in the lower stomach? I had to do anticoagulant injections down there for about 5 days once. That was just 1 injection per day and although the needle stick wasn't too bad (I even learned how to self-administer so I could break out of the hospital and go back home for recuperation; man the things we will do!), the aftermath of each injection was actually the worst part. And then there's the bruising, yeah the bruising was no fun at all.
We have wild cats, bears, gators, and snakes here in Florida. I do check my cameras before going outside these days, yep I sure do, as well as keeping escalation procedures available to me. But wow, that may be the animal version of a zombie attack, right? I mean after all, the cat wouldn't let go no matter what and rabies affects the brain and can create madness and aggression. Terrifying, for sure.
Well that's terrifying. But according to CDC:
So 30 shots sounds wildly inaccurate.
...mine usually shows up at around 97.1 even after several takes, and has been as low as 96.9. Guess I'm "cool as a cucumnber".
..where I live there are a lot of really scary individuals who are often strung out on meth, crack, or some other illicit substance. I hear them nightly down below my windows screaming or arguing with others . Wonder if you could become addicted if bitten by one of them.
I'm apparently a cold fish. My normal is in the mid-96F range. A full 2 degrees below "normal". And no..., it's not my thermometer, it's always been that low, at home, and at the doctor's. I just have to admit that I'm not hot despite what my adoring fans tell me.
When I gave blood when I was a young active bodybulder the nurse would try to take my blood pressure then say "go run around the building a couple times to build up some pressure".
But I am a bit concerned that my blood eats holes in wood & metal. I can't find any info that says that that's normal.
So, 40 years later, I have heart rhythm problems and my doctor gives me medicine to help ameliorate the rhythm problems but the medicine is primarily for lowering blood pressure.
And people wonder why I move so sloooowwww. I'm cold and deflated.

...same here and also why I have a higher tolerance for warm weather. I often wear a long sleeved shirt when it's in the 60s - mid 70s (sometimes even a sweatshirt or jacket if its breezy), but have no issue with basking in the sun when it's in the 80s to 90s. Now when the temperature gets to 100° or more (which does happen here in Portland), then I look for shade or someplace inside that's reasonably cooler (though to me AC in many places makes me feel like I'm in a walk-in fridge or even freezer).
Of course my Chinese zodiac sign is Snake, so there might be something to that.

Today angry complaint for Saturday 15 May 2021...
So this... you are visiting a store's webpage for a product and as you scroll down a bit to read the product specs, the page suddenly shifts like a quarter of a page down so it can fit "because we think you are stupid and easily distracted, may we suggest these other products that other random shoppers purchased that have absolutely no connection to what you are currently looking at, but might enjoy having shoved in your face while you are trying to buy something you intentionally came here to buy"...
Then after you manage to finally find the line you were reading before it was snatched away, the page reconfigures to fit a big box in it with a photo of some happy moron wearing a headset with the caption "Can I help you find something."...
No, no you can't you miserable vest wearing butt worm...
So now the whole thing you were looking at is now arranged differently and there are reviews or some crap between the "can I help you" box and the "random bulls**t we are trying to sell" area...
It's so friggin' disorienting when that crap happens... add to that that many people shop on mobile devices now... if you are in an area with spotty reception, that whole reload thing kills the page and causes it to blank out or freeze...
I really want to nuke from orbit anyone who intentionally makes a webpage do that crap... they are a carbuncle on the raw butt nerves of humanity.
in Alien 2 they said nuke it from space, the only way to be sure
i feel that way about some store magic banners, have ya even looked at what i been buying?

and for the more annoying ones, consider YesScript in addition to ABP.
Just bear in mind that YS breaks a lot of forums and you'll end up with blanks. But both tools are easy to engage or disengage on a per-site basis.
Some years ago, I just got tired seeing the advert pictures with the guy holding his knee, the person with rotted out teeth, and that really bad one, the picture of the foot with some really nasty diseased and deformed toenails. Eeeyyuuck! So I found ABP and YS and that's what I use. ABP is always on and is about 99% effective, while YS is turned on only when I'm confronted with an especially bad or annoying page that I just never want to see again.
...YouTube somehow found a way to get around ABP (and likely other advert blockers) as I frequently get annoying short adverts interrupting videos, often at the most inconvenient points.
i must've missed the comments about Daz Central. I wasn't aware that some users prefered Daz Central over DIM.
a whole nother day of my life wasted on tryig to get general rigged clothes working in carrara.

i'm going to look at the art gallery on Renderosity.
They tried it with me too, because "MicroSoft recommends doing it this way...", I told them where they can put their "MS recommendations" and explained how I was going to handle it and they gave up.
I know it's only been two days since the surgery, but I'm pretty tired of being grapefruitfaced.
...hang in there.
thanks. is a lil better. rice krispies snack.
feels like the april showers startin to come in.
i havent seen the Hudson River in 10 years. dunmo if they took down the Tappanzee bridge.
a model of the Brooklyn Bridge would be nice, robert moses causeway. no one models real life bridges. or rivers. Thames, Seine, Rhine,
went to see the rio grande one year on a trip to Albuquerque, it was just a creek at the spot.
bugs bunny always hanging that left at Albuquerque
Actually, he's always complaining that he should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque.
A while back I considered making a model of the 59th st/Ed Kotch/Queensboro Bridge (it was blocks from where I grew up and I literally used to hang out on it growing up)... but lots and lots of polygons... probably way too many and I don't think anyone would really want or use something that resource intensive anyway... The Robert Mooses* Causeway bridge seems more doable, but it's still really full of open trusswork too... Even the Brooklyn bridge which is a hybrid suspension/stayed cable bridge (looks less complicated at first glance) has an amazing amount of complexity in the different decks and the subway tracks... lots and lots of intricate trusses and fancy ironwork on the pedestrian walkway... and never mind the underside of the bridge.
