Summer is unique for a lab. She is never motivated by food. In the morning, we wait a while before we offer breakfast, so she is more likely to be hungry. The vet is always amazed when they try to bribe her with treats, and she isn't remotely interested.
This morning, Summer and her pal watched TV until they felt like eating breakfast. She doesn't know it yet, but chicken liver, kibble, and green beans are on the menu.
That's the thing about being retired, except for days we have appointments, we are pretty laid back.
Good morning, Mastodon.

I just realized that I've been using adblock so consistently, for so long, that I have basically no idea what the average person's experience of the internet is like.

Every now and then I use someone else's device that isn't so locked down. And I'm floored by how useless and annoying the internet is. IDK how people do this.

#CardboardComputer prototype no. 2 (advanced version) solving the problem 5×25=75.

I cut the plastic cursor out of some stiff plastic "clamshell" packaging I pulled from the recycling bin.

Lessons from this iteration:

1. Be more careful drawing the hairline on the cursor next time.
2. Precise wheel alignment is very important, and I need to cover that more in the DiY instructions.

I'm going to glue these onto cardboard backings.

I'm very slightly colorblind and telling the difference between a boosted and unboosted post on #Mastodon is really hard for me (on the light theme especially). #accessibility

👀 "Analysis of Beethoven’s DNA has revealed that he had a low genetic predisposition for beat synchronization, an ability that’s closely related to musicality.

This is according to researchers who set out to show how making genetic predictions for individuals, including famous historical figures, can be fraught with danger."

I wish the people calling for cars to be banned would think about how that would effect disabled people.

Someone, explain rights to these folks:

"4 Ontario school boards have launched legal action seeking $4.5 billion in damages against social media giants, accusing them of disrupting students' fundamental right to education …

The lawsuit claims that "social media products, negligently designed for compulsive use, have rewired the way children think, behave, and learn, leaving educators and schools to manage the fallout," the boards said in a statement."

"a sudden atmospheric warming event [has] caused the Arctic's polar vortex to reverse its trajectory. … which … could impact global weather patterns.

… In the past, disruptions to the polar vortex have triggered extremely cold weather and storms across large parts of the US.

The current change probably won't lead to a similar 'big freeze.' But it has caused a record-breaking 'ozone spike' above the N. Pole."

"In an attempt to reduce the population of the former Danish colony, at least 4,500 women and girls are believed to have undergone the medical procedure, being forcibly fitted with the contraceptive coil, usually without their consent or knowledge, at the hands of Danish doctors, from 1966-1970 alone.

… now generations of Inuit women are left traumatised and suffering reproductive complications, including infertility, as a result of the Danish state’s policy."
