I'm the opposite. I like it when the cat curls up on my feet, but I'm not a fan of just letting them stalk through the house and jump around freely when I'm trying to flipping sleep.

They can't not do that, so they get shut out. And I taught them early on that if they yowl and scratch at the door on the middle of the night, they're just gonna get launched down the stairs.

Cats only get to be the boss if you let them. They absolutely can be trained to not be total tyrants.

Closed, because of cats.

Oh and also for fire safety, I guess.

This is delightfully random and weird.

Learning to solve a Rubik's cube isn't exactly "low effort".

The podcast Hello From the Magic Tavern has a whole spinoff podcast where its fantasy world characters play "Offices and Bosses".

Amen to that. Monoculture is bad, in every context.

The Vulcans have it right: Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

I've read this before, but it's one of my favorites, and it makes me ponder and smile whenever I read it.

I definitely notice it with a push mower, but there's also the issue of the grass blades themselves always being cut in one direction. That'll produce a noticable effect over time if you don't vary mowing vector.

But you have to alternate the pattern each time you mow or you'll get wheel ruts.

I listen to way too many to name, but the two I always move to the top of the queue when they drop are Fright Pub (three very funny friends drink and talk about horror movies, to much hilarity) and Film Reroll (a bunch of talented actors and improv folks reenact and rewrite popular movies using tabletop dice mechanics).

Recently the latter did an insane reroll series of Memento that they recorded in chronological order and then re-edited and released in reverse order like the movie. In their E.T. reroll, they succeeded in getting E.T. off the planet and involved in an interstellar war. For Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, the GM invented a whole system for randomizing their trips back in time based on their phonepad keypresses, leading to a completely different set of historical figures collected for their final project. Truly nutso levels of craft and effort go into these episodes.
