Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I am so not drinking milk from that cow.

For me, I am glad to have read it though because I know how to deal with migraines. And I've had plenty of sinus headaches recently that have left me shaking and in tears and whining here. Now? I can use some of the migraine skills against them and see if that helps more.
Yep, this. Plus, it'll give me more info to give the doctor when I go see him again.

That's all I was trying to say. To the extent that it's helpful, it's good to know. It's not worth feeling worse over, though. The symptoms are the same, regardless of the label.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think it's possible to feel worse based on an NY Times article.
Or maybe I'm just scraping the bottom of the migraine barrel.
Just got off the phone with a developer who doesn't understand the difference between time estimates for a) effort and b) durations. I'm not entirely clear he gets dependencies either. Yet, I'm having to base the meaty parts of a huge project plan on his word. You'd better believe everything's being cced to his manager before it ever goes to higher management.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
so what is Pluto?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Boy COWS with UDDERS? In a movie with bulls? I rage at Disney movies for giving people who are unfamiliar with real-life animals totally unrealistic expectations of their behavior, but this... this is an abomination.
But speaking of real-life animals, I love the Bestiaux photos! I looked at them all and went awwww. We had a Hereford bull when I was about eleven who was quite affectionate and gentle. He'd eat hay and treats out of my hand and let me rub his curly white forehead. These pictures make me want to go back to farm life. (For a minute. Then I remember. It's hard.)

I wonder what the rationale was for the teats. It seems a very odd mistake to make, much less carry through to the point where it's too expensive to fix.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Maybe they were afraid noone would know it's cow unless the teats were there.
