That one’s a charmer.

Done with Google. Now paying $5 a month to use Kagi.com. Worth it.

As long as sovereign debt can be serviced, we’re good.

Best cat ever.

And like a bad neighbor, State Farm won’t care.

Damn shame, for her or anyone with cancer. I had a friend, quite a while ago, in her 30s. She developed ovarian cancer, and it took her out in short order. You never know, best to enjoy every day.

He is a keeper. Give him a belly scritch for me…

A magnificent puss, even as a little guy…

Subspace interference.

If it moves, it’s worth watching.

This might be advertising, not news.

“… back, and to the left.”

Simultaneously alert & calm: cat.

So how will Apple craft this announcement in a way that avoids showing some kind of submission to the will and desires of the Android juggernaut? Let me guess… Anyone texting in from hardware other than an iPhone will still get the funky balloon color, eh?

I can only imagine that at some point in the future humans will be on deck for such modifications. Brave New World, eh?

An a.i. clarification of the article’s summary: Researchers proved that stem cells from mammals can turn into any cell type like cells from an early embryo. These are called naive stem cells. They’ve shown naive stem cells work great in rodents, but not as well in primates since the donor cells don’t match the host embryo. So they tried different conditions to produce naive stem cells from monkeys and got better at growing chimeric embryos. A chimeric monkey is one that has cells from two different embryos combined together. They created an aborted fetus and live chimeric monkey with high donor cell numbers. Testing showed the donor cells integrated into many tissues (including sex organs and placenta) of the chimeric monkeys, up to 90%. This is a big deal for researching naive stem cells and genetically modifying primates.

So, I’m sitting here in the “library,” where I do most of my best reading, holding my mobile device in my left hand and scrolling with my right thumb. I’m trying to imagine how this would work with a widescreen foldable device, kind of like a tablet, TBH. I just can’t see it. Holding a standard normal phone is super easy, a firm grip on both sides. A foldable would require some extra gymnastics… I don’t get this “really got to have it” feeling.

I would pay cash money to scratch that belly.

You both have a look of relaxed satisfaction. You in a human way and Sheldon in a kitty way.

Genuflection in progress…
