  • My inlaws’ cat makes makes it as difficult as possible to pet her when she likes it a lot. Doesn’t sit still, if I pet her chin she twists her head away to show me the top of her head instead, keeps walking back and forth, and even lays belly up sometimes (and she does not like her belly touched at all).

    I know she’s liking it because she purrs like crazy, does not move away, if I stop looks at me until I start again. If in her walking back and forth I don’t chase her and leave my hand out she moves into it for more pets.

    I’ve developed some techniques to pet her two handed where she sits still for some reason. Like chin scritches with one hand coming from each side, she loves it.




  • I have hibernate enabled in windows, and have it set for when I click the power button on the case it hibernates instead of sleep or shutdown. Hibernation means it’s off, but it saves its state before it shuts down and restores it after turning on. Meaning I have the convenience of my startup programs being all booted up and open windows and programs are just as I left them. I shutdown the computer normally the last time I use it at night, so I have it freshly booted in the morning.

    Personally I hate waste and walking away from a computer for more than a few minutes and leaving it on makes me uncomfortable. I know I’m weird and a bit on the extreme side, but it’s how I feel, and the hibernation option is a good option that keeps most of the convenience of leaving it on or suspended.

    The most chaotic good thing to do would be to use the known security issues to hack into your boss’ computer in the most scarry looking but harmless way. That would possibly scare them into upgrading.

    With that said, you should create a paper trail on how you warned your boss, and either wash your hands of the issue or kick it up the chain, depending on how much you care.

    EDIT: since it seems some people didn’t get it, I meant the first option as a joke. My actual advice is the second paragraph






  • I agree with the basic maintenance thing being a chore, but I understand where OP is coming from. So if one person out of the pair decides with previous warning that they want to plant a bunch of stuff then it’s their responsability to take care of them.

    In my situation for example, I live with my partner in an apartment, and the vases are his to maintain and take care of. We’ve talked about where we would live next and my parter wants a yard and I don’t. So I’ve forewarned him that if we have a yard in a future house it belongs to him, and any decisions to move to a house with a yard come with that agreement. This is all very different situation to living in a house with a yard already, or not having the choice when moving for some reason.
