Tempted to post about politics, so have some cat pics instead:

[tubemeister@mstdn.social]

@tj @cstross Ha, looks quite like the stray kitten we took in just before xmas, just a bit older.

Ours doesn't climb doors yet though.

She's in heat now. Holy crap, that saying of "you'll KNOW if your cat is in heat" is true. Little furry missile playing pinball in the living room.

@cstross @tankgrrl Is this a NAD Amp?

[cstross@wandering.shop]

@LAYERED @tankgrrl Yup!

[layered@oldbytes.space]

@cstross @tankgrrl I LOVE NAD!

[tankgrrl@hachyderm.io]

@cstross @LAYERED
Clearly it is a NAP amp.

[boerps@nrw.social]

@cstross
She is a beauty.

[jplupp@mastodon.nu]

@cstross @Karolina Nice amplifier. I didn’t know that NAD have a nap function.

[fonecokid@c.im]

@cstross ️

[bashstkid@mastodon.online]

@cstross Much better.

[uilebheist@polyglot.city]

@jplupp @cstross @Karolina I thought all NAD amplifiers have a nap function.
This is not Charlie's amplifier but...

@cstross

I think she has a similar vibe to my cat, #PicaTheCat
Especially in that last photo.

[cstross@wandering.shop]

@futurebird Depends: is Pica evil? Evil enough to see you reading in the chair, jump on the arm, and then stab or nip you until you move out so she can occupy it for 10 minutes until she gets bored with their victory and wanders off?

[futurebird@sauropods.win]

@cstross

"is Pica evil?"

She has a team of lawyers and issues press statements about how her dinner was late?

[christellelachambre@mastodon.art]

@cstross good idea

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@cstross I approve!

[wavesculptor@climatejustice.social]

@jplupp @cstross @Karolina
amp "Class A" ? - def not "Class D" : warm vs cold #audio

[tattered@social.vivaldi.net]

@cstross Many of us like it when you do either/both of these things… So, thank you for the delightful cat pictures.

[futurebird@sauropods.win]

@cstross

I love that we just have "evil cats" and it's fine. In fact, it's wonderful.

[cstross@wandering.shop]

@wavesculptor @jplupp @Karolina It's about 30-40 years old.

[wavesculptor@climatejustice.social]

@cstross @jplupp @Karolina -- my generation of audio gear. Def. cat bed material.
