Scout the dump rescue kitten has been accepted by Gizmo.

I hate that they're accepting the narrative of calling generative models AI, then lumping everything else under the same tag.

Meanwhile, our cats immediately STOP being cute if they suspect a camera is around. Same attention seeking misbehavior skill maxing though.

This is what I'm talking about when I bring up that genAI bots are making it impossible for an open web to actually exist. It becomes expensive, a pain, and domain providers like cloudflare are profiting off both the people making bots and the people who don't have the tech skills to fight them off

Those low velocity times mean lack of power, and usually bad emissions too from incomplete combustion. Instead, with the ECU limiting throttle openings at times there would be problems you can use a larger throttle which allows for more power in the meat of the curve.

Kurlon @outofspec.com · 25/09/2026
So, one other benefit of electronic throttle control: Because the ECU controls the throttle, you can get away with a MUCH larger throttle and never run into a scenario where whacking it at the wrong time (low RPM, etc) results in too big of an opening reducing air velocity causing a bog.

Ok, you buried the lead if that cabling was done up with zip ties! I don't mind zip ties... when I have to cut back a fully waxed string wrap job though, gah. Velcro for the freaking win.

There needs to be repercussions for bullshit DMCA claims, and Youtube needs to also have some risk for blindly just AI processing this stuff.

An update: Jeremy and Birdy went to a new home Saturday, Scout is staying. She informed us this morning that she shall not be contained by scaling the theoretically kitten proofed child gate once we opened the door. So... will be working in the living room today to keep an eye on her.

The Minions of Avian Intelligence Bonus speedpaint: www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFanta... #webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
Panel 1. Cepper, the gothic witch, is stunned to see a small army of Avian Intelligence (AI) parrots walking down the red carpet toward the university's reception room. Behind her, her own AI parrot flies overhead.  
> Cepper: "What are these?"  
> Parrot: "These are my minions."Panel 2. The minions scatter throughout the celebration, attempting to join various group discussions.  
> Parrot: "They're deployed in all discussions to make people love Avian Intelligence."Panel 3. A similar shot to the previous panel, but now people are growing angry at the minion parrots who interrupted their discussions. Cepper and her AI parrot simply observe the scene.  
> AI Parrot minion (1): "AI is just a tool!"  
> AI Parrot minion (2): "AI learns like humans do!"  
> AI Parrot minion (3): "AI is good!"  
> Cepper: "...Is it working?"  
Panel 4. In a similar shot, the crowd is now furious, screaming at the minions. The Parrot remains optimistic while Cepper is facepalming.  
> Parrot: "No, people still hate AI. I guess I'll just deploy more minions."

If your justification is "No one would opt in." Stop. Think about that for a second. Literally said it out loud, I'm floored.

Stuff like this should always be OPT IN, not defaulting to on, no need to assist Twitch in replacing streamers with generative content. (Yeah, I got my wires crossed on my original repost, fixed now.)

Whoever it was that dumped these three precious little nuggets of fur and purrs and YELLING at the town transfer station yesterday, may you suffer the same fate, somehow, that they would have if we had not had to go down to the metal pile and heard the panicked miaous. Asshole. There are shelters.
Three tiny kittens, one brown tiger, one black & white tuxedo, and one tortoiseshell and white, relaxing on a green towel. They are barely 3 weeks old and some heartless asshole dumped them at the town dump. We found them.

Go to the dump to find space in the house and... come back with kittens? Is that how that's supposed to work?
Three young (between 3 and 4 weeks estimated) kittens, a black and white tuxedo, tortie and baby tiger snuggled in a lap after a feeding.
