I slept through most of Multiverse this afternoon. Not sure if it's my fault or the movie's... -- nm - Ender May 9, 21:16
Money aside, the Mets are probably ahead on the Cano trade, because Diaz has been an elite closer and Kelenic has been sub replacement. - Tim May 9, 21:06
I can't believe the USA found the people who inspired "how is babby formed" and appointed them to SCOTUS -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 20:58 1

I always got my cats from someone or from vets I know so I had no idea how high the adoption fees can be. - Krusty May 9, 20:54 14
- I paid $200 for Phoebe in 2021 from a rescue. They ensure they are fixed, chipped and healthy. (and she qualified as a senior, she was 8. -- (edited) - Andie May 10, 06:53
- My local cat shelter is $200 for kittens, $40 for adults. Often they’ll have free adult cat weekends. -- nm - mafic May 9, 22:29 1
  - So it's not an especially high adoption fee. Good to know. - Krusty May 10, 05:33
- Does that include shots, chip, and neutering? I got my two during a special event and got all that for $25 each. Would have cost way more if - Meg May 9, 21:04 3
  - It does include shots and neutering but it still feels like it's a lot to adopt cats. I'd have taken them immediately if it was $200 for both. -- nm - Krusty May 10, 05:31
  - chubbers and oliver were $75 each chipped and spayed. I think our shelter is $25 kittens, $50 adults. but they fundraise a lot to keep fees low. -- nm - amanda May 10, 05:16 1
    - That's a fair fee for adoption. -- nm - Krusty May 10, 05:38
- It kind of defeats the whole purpose when it comes down to it with kitties. I wouldn’t adopt myself. I’d Craigslist it first. -- nm - Qale May 9, 21:02 2
  - those rescues have to pay for the vets services though. -- nm - Andie May 10, 06:53
  - I got a sweet kitty off Craigslist many years ago. I'll give it a look later on. -- nm - Krusty May 10, 05:33
- Interesting. Around here they aren't much more than $50. often fees are reduced or waived for adult cats. It's the dogs that have the high fees. -- nm - TWuG May 9, 20:59 3
  - The shelter we adopt from spays/neuters all animals before adopting them out, so the fees are incredibly reasonable given that. - TWuG May 9, 21:05
  - Ours are generally $80-$100. -- nm* - David May 9, 21:00 1
    - If those were the fees I'd have put in an application immediately. $400 is a lot, imo. -- nm - Krusty May 10, 05:35
Author’s essay explaining why she plagiarized parts of her debut novel has been removed for plagiarism. -- (link) - znufrii May 9, 20:53 3
- consistency is an important part of branding -- nm - zeitgeist May 9, 22:03
- Maybe she just doesn't know what plagiarism is? -- nm - Mop May 9, 21:54 1
  - I don't know, she seems to really have the hang of it. -- nm - Ender May 9, 21:59
Rumors are Microsoft is preparing an Xbox Streaming Stick. If that happens, that pretty much ends the console wars. - Mop May 9, 20:40 7
- Of course, the stick plus a controller will cost about 2/3's of the price of the console, so.. (NM) - Marlowe May 10, 06:20
- Nintendo? -- nm - Qale May 9, 20:52
- So...Stadia? -- nm - JaxSean May 9, 20:43 4
  - Xbox already has a robust streaming infrastructure and hundreds if not thousands of games in its library. - Mop May 9, 21:51
  - That's how I read it. I'm surprised Mop is so optimistic. -- nm - David May 9, 20:48 2
    - The ability to stream video games is still very much relegated to those with perfectly stable very high speed internet connections. -- nm* - Qale May 9, 20:54 1
      - And even then it seems to me input lag would be a problem. -- nm - Ender May 9, 21:25

- Man, I love that landscaping. Ditto the view of the lake from the dining room -- nm - prayformojo May 9, 19:33 5
  - I'm a little shy on the down payment, so I'd love to see one of my friends buy it. Why not you? -- nm - crash davis May 9, 19:39 4
    - It's just too much space for me. I'm out. - Beryllium May 9, 20:01 3
      - Maybe if you'd treated my ears better, Crash... -- nm* - David May 9, 20:04 2
        
        I take it saying sorry right now won't help? -- nm - crash davis May 9, 21:35 1

  - Huh -- nm - zork May 9, 21:43
- The world is running out of countries/people for America to exploit, so we have to return to exploiting our own. -- nm - Qale May 9, 20:03 2
  - Given the coming global economic and/or environmental collapse, things are going to get rough. Seems like a bad time to be fomenting domestic unrest -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 20:05 1
    - What you're gonna root for then is for the people rallying to become organized. You know, like the churchy people already do every single week. -- nm - con_carne May 9, 21:04
- I think it's so they can continue to stop immigration, but guarantee a work force. Without cheap labor, billionaires might be hundred millionaires. -- nm* - jnine May 9, 19:29 3
  - Right, the goal here is to create a new class of serfs. That's why public education is getting disintegrated, too. -- nm - David May 9, 19:42
  - Yup. - Pippy May 9, 19:41
  - It's also been pointed out that abortion will be a felony in some states and felons often can't vote. Two birds, one stone. -- nm - TWuG May 9, 19:32
- (Also… as opposed to the imported supply?) -- nm - Roger More May 9, 19:29 1
  - Exactly! Don't need those Asian imports if we can manufacture our own. -- nm* - Meg May 9, 19:34
- It’s gross. There is not even a need for children to be adopted. Orphans and kids in foster care are languishing. But what do facts matter at this - Pippy May 9, 19:27 2
  - They aren’t quite white. -- nm - Volnelk May 9, 20:21
  - But those are used and shop-worn, we want brand new products. -- nm - Meg May 9, 19:47
Flyout error gets an unedited s-bomb -- (link) - budice May 9, 19:14
