A movie poster for a disney movie from the 90s about 3 animals who somehow telepathically talk to each other. And their adventures out into the world when they escape from the house.

Titled “Big Day Out”. And have it star Bill Murray, Adam Sandler, and Kate Micucci:

Kaspersky deletes itself, installs UltraAV antivirus without warning
*Edit: deleted duplicate post ____ Starting Thursday, Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky deleted its anti-malware software from customers' computers across the United States and automatically replaced it with UltraAV's antivirus solution. This comes after Kaspersky decided to shut down its U.S. operations and lay off U.S.-based employees in response to the U.S. government adding Kaspersky to the Entity List, a catalog of "foreign individuals, companies, and organizations deemed a national security concern" in June. On June 20, the Biden administration also announced a ban on sales and software updates for Kaspersky antivirus software in the United States starting September 29, 2024, over potential national security risks.

Believe it or not, goat hugging is an actual farm job. Goats love attention and are healthier when given hugs.

Modern AI data centers consume enormous amounts of power, and it looks like they will get even more power-hungry in the coming years as companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI strive towards artificial general intelligence (AGI). Oracle has already outlined plans to use nuclear power plants for its 1-gigawatt datacenters. It looks like Microsoft plans to do the same as it just inked a deal to restart a nuclear power plant to feed its data centers, reports Bloomberg.

A dog that looks like a cat
Or is it a cat that looks like a dog?

That’s one big kitty!

(Cute momma. Well I assume it’s Momma.)

I didn’t see the mom (or any adult cats), just kittens.



I edited the title. Thanks again for informing me. They’re so cute!


My bad for guessing. Thanks for the correction. I just looked up that breed and I think you are correct.

I wasn’t familiar with that breed so thanks for teaching me something new today. I love learning new things.




The kitty litter subsidies would be amazing. Cheap litter for all!



Time to make your dreams a reality. Do it!










I’m not the one who told corrected you earlier, but ket me reiterate…

You are incorrect in your assumption that our “country,” government, etc. censors our speech. Some people choose to self-censor and the government has nothing to do with that.

Also, you seem confused about what free speech (see: first amendment) actually means. This XKCD might help explain it to you.



33%, but yeah. Both are true.

66% of eligible are voting, 33% of eligible are not voting. Of the 66% that did vote, half of those (I used 49%) voted for Trump. Half of the 66% is 33%.

So, of the eligible voters, 33% voted Biden, 33% voted Trump, and 33% didn’t vote.

Or, if you want math:

.66 * .49 = .32 or 32%

Edit: I misunderstood the question and gave an off-topic answer. Someone else commented the correct reason: not all Americans are eligible to vote. Children, felons in certain States, etc. Since they didn’t/can’t vote they’re not counted in the “half of America” statistic often quoted.

Half of eligible voters voted for trump, which is about 32% of America in 2020.


49% of the americans

More accurately, 49% of voters. Out of all of the eligible voters in the 2020 election only 66% actually voted. And, that election had the highest turnout in over a century.

So when trying to calculate how many eligible voters voted for Trump in 2020 you’ll have to take the statistics above into consideration.

49% of 66% is 32% if my math is correct. 32% of eligible voters voted for Trump.

Sorry for being pedantic but it annoys me when people say that half of America supports Trump when it’s just not true.





Linkerbaan is just a troll. Always trying to muddy the conversation with terms like “genocide joe” and “sleepy joe.” I assume “genocrats” are his clever portmanteau for genocide Democrats.

Edit: notice how he edits his comments to make them more “both sides” instead of the original “Democrats bad” message.


And, IIRC, it’s just a trial to see if it will work.

Edit: I should have read the article linked in a comment above…

“As spotted by The Document Foundation, the government has apparently finished its pilot run of LibreOffice and is now announcing plans to expand to more open source offerings.”

“In 2021, the state government announced plans to move 25,000 computers to LibreOffice by 2026. At the time, Schleswig-Holstein said it had already been testing LibreOffice for two years.”

So, it seems the trial may be over and they are migrating for good.
