01/16 - Tuned-in Tuesday!

NHL fan for life. Also follow NFL, MLB, and EPL very closely. Can't win a related UNU to save my life. Got second place in NHL week 11 when I really really thought I had it. Anyway, all of this to say that the NBA is the league I follow the most casually but yet -

Live feed of me right now (the short one):

If anyone installs this uninstall it immediately after.

Between you and Johnny the amount of unnecessary bloat to solve problems that don't exist makes JQuery look like an a tomahawk missile.

 

Basic Rules For Cats Who Have A House To Run
Chairs And Rugs:
If you have to throw up, get into a chair quickly. If you can not manage in time, get to an Oriental rug. If no Oriental rug is available, shag is good.

Doors:
Do not allow closed doors to any room. To get a door opened, stand on hind legs and hammer with forepaws. Once door is opened, it is not necessary to use it.

After you have ordered an outside door opened, stand halfway in and out and think about several things. This is particularly important during very cold weather, rain, snow, and mosquito season.

Guests:
Quickly determine which guest hates cats the most. Sit on that human’s lap. If you can, arrange to have “Friskies Fish n’ Glop” on your breath.

For sitting on laps or rubbing against clothing, select fabric color which contrasts well with your fur. For example: white furred cats go to black wool clothing.

For the guest who claims, “I love kitties,” be ready with aloof disdain: apply claws to stockings or use a quick nip on the ankle.

When walking among the dishes on the dinner table, be prepared to look surprised and hurt when scolded. The idea is to convey, “But you always allow me on the table when company isn’t here.”

Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It isn’t necessary to do anything. Just sit and stare.

Work:
If one of your humans is sewing or writing and another is idle, stay with the busy one. This is called helping, otherwise known as hampering. Following are the rules for hampering:

1. When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook. You can’t be seen and thereby stand a better chance of being stepped on, picked up, and consoled.
2. For book readers, get close under the chin, between the human’s eyes and the book, unless you can lie across the book itself. If it is a newspaper, claw at it until shredded. Your human will appreciate a home-made toy!
3. For knitting projects, curl up quietly on the lap of the knitter and pretend to doze. Occasionally reach out and slap the knitting needles or split yarn. The knitter will try to distract you with a ball of yarn. Remember that the purpose is to impede work.

It's a diagnostic tool. I'd assume anyone that installs a purely diagnostic tool has the sense to disable or uninstall it when they're not using it.

Can't really get much less bloated than ~12 SLOC without a single dependency.
Half of the script is metatags and whitespace.

And what was that one we have over here, you'll go blind if you masturbate?

 

I was going to reply to you before, and then fell asleep holding my phone.

Sleeping it off sounds like A+ advice. I'm crazy anemic right now too, cause of course I got a virus and my period at the same time. And of course Bearnie is having super bad asthma attacks, so he's both clingy and aggresive, because apparently this is the week from hell.

With my luck, Matt is going to go full man cold as well, and come home cranky AF. At that point, we can all just die together in a little ball under the covers.


Praise be to theraflu.

Thank you for subscribing to Cat Facts!

13. The world's largest cat measured 48.5 inches long.

 

Oh come on you know good and damn well that's not true. Johnny wouldn't have to even add the ridiculous "OMG I NEED MY OWN WINDOW" notifications if this were even remotely how things worked.

You can't save people from themselves, and tbh I don't care if you want to waste your time trying but please don't add the bloatware to here where folks are gonna nag me about the site slowing down their computers mysteriously 2 weeks from now. I do enough of that myself I don't need help LMAO.

Or if you do, at least add a hilarious talking turkey in the mix so its worth it

 

One thing we're looking at doing is making a little scoring tweak towards figuring out who wins the bonus in each respective sport. Instead of just making the winner the person with the very highest total score, we're considering making it the person who has the highest ROI instead. (ROI = total score divided by total sum of all hypothetical wagers across all games). We'll keep everyone posted on that.

 

sprichst du Englisch?

 

owner edit:removed for stupidity. Warning issued.

 

No, it's really dead-simple, and ridiculously obvious that it's running since it changes the tab title dramatically:

PHP:

var INTERVAL_TIME = 700;

var lastTimestamp;
var mostRecentTimestamp;
var lastGap;

setInterval(() => {
   lastTimestamp = mostRecentTimestamp;
   mostRecentTimestamp = performance.now();

   if(lastTimestamp !== undefined && mostRecentTimestamp !== undefined) {
       lastGap = mostRecentTimestamp - lastTimestamp;
       let deviationAmount = Math.abs(INTERVAL_TIME - lastGap);
       let deviationPercentage = (deviationAmount / INTERVAL_TIME) * 100;
       document.title = `${deviationPercentage.toLocaleString("EN", {maximumFractionDigits: 2})}% dev ${INTERVAL_TIME}ms`;
   }
}, INTERVAL_TIME);


 

"Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It isn’t necessary to do anything. Just sit and stare."---Bearnie is 100% sure the bathroom is where he goes to socialize with you. If you don't boop him and give him pets, he will shun your existence. Once you boop him, he will observe. This is my life meow.
