Bad news, everybody:

Bomb:

I live in San Antonio so I’ve had an earful of the Alamo history. I’m still convinced, though, that America lost a the Alamo and had to keep Texas.

covering it with spray paint doesn’t help you find the points where it’s gotten bad, though. An hour of work, doing it right, and you can fix the problems; 10min of doing it wrong means you’ll be tearing it back up and fixing it again in a couple years.

That’s odd, every veterinary professional I know (spoiler alert: it’s a LOT of ‘em) and all the research indicates that TNR is the most effective way of managing feral populations. It’s used not just in cats but in lots of other animal populations and seems to be widely accepted by everybody with animal knowledge who…

Give Wiley a hug and a biscuit for all of us here.

My plan for any of the various “XXX-alypse” is to identify the preppers in my area ( I live in Tx so it won’t be long walk) and go take their shit. A little observation, some planning and a bit of directed violence and I’m pretty sure the average tin-foil-hat wearing simpleton’s stuff will keep me nicely supplied…

Why, I take offense sir! How dare you impugn the honor of Wanky the Safety Cat? On the dangerously misguided website where he was born, nonetheless? If I could reach through this terrible interweb device and smack you with a greasy mechanix glove to presage a duel I would do so!

Soak ‘em in CRC (panther piss) and let ‘em sit overnight. If need be spray them down a couple times and let it sink in, then get on them. Given the age and rusty state, a torch and a 4ft section of pipe over the wrench might be a good idea, too.

I’m in San Antonio (home of shitty mexican food) and came across a wonderful anomaly the other day. There’s an old-school Taco Bell (the old masonry “mission” style building with the front courtyard) which has been repurposed as an Arby’s. The juxtoposition just made me chuckle, but then i love this sort of oddity. My…

Wait. So this wasn’t in Texas?

If you’re going to rip out the floor covers, at least pull the bench out and get an angle-grinder with a wire cup on the rust. A few hours of sweating and cursing then some time spent huffing spray paint fumes to pain it back over and so many problems will be resolved.

I just can’t get over how clunky and non-ergonomic this shift lever is. It’s like it was designed by the guys who created MASK in the 80’s.
For that matter, their whole design aesthetic could have been cribbed from the MASK dude.

80square inches of flashing lights but not a scrap of fake fur nor a whisker to be found. Unimpressed...

So the Giants could keep him on specifically to wave a “We’re #1” at opposing fans and make them guess what he meant? Genius!

I keep my cats from roaming by not letting them outside. If only the parents in my neighborhood would have the same courtesy.

Do you really consider anything on Sploid to be “News?”

If you are a parent and allow your kid to roam the neighborhood you are an asshole. Not everybody wants a kid and you’re inflicting your kids on everyone around you.

I have to dispute the statement that feeding feral colonies makes the situation worse. It’s pretty accepted that Trap/Neuter/Release is the most effective way of managing feral populations and once a stable equilibrium is reached, feeding cuts down on the need for feral cats to hunt as much (not as many mouths to feed…

An idiot veterinarian in Texas. She’ already lost her license and is in front of a review board to see if she’ll ever be allowed to practice again. Also she has criminal charges pending. Not to mention the whole “pariah” thing.
