So sorry. What breed was it?
They are like your baby. I was so against having a cat in the house, but now I'm a "cat dad" and love it.

I think a domestic shorthair? I honestly have no idea, probably a mix of things.

I was against it too, because I knew that of course one day it unfortunately comes to this. I love them as well though.

How old was she?

13, not even that old imo.

@swag @Wings
you got higher score than me because you cheated, google and AI tools or chance. Don't pretend to be smart.

Recently, I have been busy with configuring Mikrotik devices, I remembered that you work in Australia. I wanted to know if Mikrotik equipment is used in Australia and if they have a reputation there.

I haven’t seen Mikrotik widely deployed here in Australia. Our market is largely dominated by Cisco, with Palo Alto, Fortinet, Juniper, and HPE also quite prominent. Interestingly, HPE is actually in the process of acquiring Juniper in a US$14 billion deal.

There was a recent Mikrotik discussion thread on one of our largest Aussie network engineering forums:

Nobody could ever accuse you of not being mid.

It's not smart as much as it's kind of testing the human as an image recognition AI, you know? There are often visual cues, such as cars or fonts.

But the corpus of source photos is heavily weighted towards American consumerism. Which is, well, as endemic as Covid is now. But still...

Sad..

Looks like the Continassa.

I'm just embarrassed of myself, my general knowledge on this subject is very tight, the system generates random images that are mostly related to the US and participants from other continents can't recognize them. It's not a standardized test, so Americans definitely score better.

Yes. I am getting the news about it. Really tragic.

Is that relatively west of most Baloch territories?

Yes, this happened in Hormozgan province. Even Hormozgan has a Baloch minority.

As mid as they come I thought I did pretty good having grown up without American influence.

Agreed. In other words, you could infiltrate them and they wouldn't notice

Full power outage in Spain and Portugal? Hope anyone impacted is ok.

Thanks, sir!

Yes, indeed! I thought our building or block may have gone out of power. Happens rarely. That was 90 min ago.

So now I hear Portugal, Spain, parts of France, and potentially Italy and even the UK!

But it’s Europe. No panic. All chill. Opened a bottle of wine and had a cold lunch from the fridge. (True story.)

Three years ago I bought a mini-UPS battery backup for our home router. Mainly because when it booted up, it took too long to reconnect to some drives.

Turns out that it’s been running fine and the reason I can post this now on my iPad.

First time in the Caribbean, tried a Dominican drink called Mama Juana. It’s a mix of honey, wine, rum, tree bark and some herbs and it’s supposed to clean your insides and that it did. Couldn’t leave my room next day. Never again.

Dude, you could have parked a Chevrolet Silverado up there and no one would notice.

Couldn't be more obvious that you're in Punta Cana.

The Portuguese electricity operator earlier said the outage was caused by a "rare" atmospheric phenomenon, related to variations in temperatures
