Point 1 has to be chosen when the cat is young. Forcing an outside cat to suddenly only be inside often doesn't work.

I adopted a 7-year-old cat from the shelter, and after a week of having to be inside all the time, he got more and more frustrated. After a week and a half, he escaped during the night. In the morning, while I was panicking, he came strolling in as if nothing was wrong.

Since he apparently comes back, I allowed him outside from then on. Since that moment, his behaviour inside has improved a lot. No more random play attacks on my ankles and hands, and generally much calmer.

He has also come back home with mice several times. He always eats them. So I think he is very used to living outside. Maybe been a stray, or a farm cat.

Forcing him to be inside would feel cruel.

But I love coding at work?!

The problem is that every living entity in a 10 kilometer radius around me, seems to be hellbent on getting me to do anything but coding. Refining work estimates, fixing badge access rights, fixing a driver issue, telling people that you cannot do 1000 things at the same time, teaching the new developer how shit (doesn't) works, mangling Jenkins into a functional state again, explaning that thing I did a year ago but is only now used (it was very high prio a year ago), writing documentation that noboby ever reads, progress meetings, specialty group meetings, knowledge sharing meetings, company wide meetings, etc.

Nobody dies of "old age". As you become older, it is becomes harder to survive various diseases or afflictions. But where do you draw the line? If someone was to weak and fragile to leave their bed, and died due to no longer getting any energie from food, is that dying of old age? And what if they are to fragile to leave their cage?

If one is allowed to set timespan for "execution" to "however long it takes me to die of old age", then I argue it is also perfectly fine to take some liberty with the definition of "die of old age".

Sure thing. You will do so in that cage over there. To the guards: He already had his last meal.

"Ammo conversation", for when you let your guns do all the talking, but you need to express yourself beyond just violence.

My C++ teacher taught me to be against unions. He made everything class based instead.

This is terrible programming advice.

Considering that portals are quite literally linked in a spatial manner, it would make sense that they physically cannot move independantly. Moving the orange portal would also move the blue portal. Or from a different perspective: the portals are always fixed in space, but their surrounds can move.

But that does not make the question shown here untestable. It just means the output portal will have a velocity of it's own.

How to test: place 2 portals next to each other on a wall. Then apply propulsion gel in front of the orange portal. And finally move yourself at high speed through the orange portal.

If your speed is unchanged after exiting the blue portal, but your velocity has been inverted with respect to the direction that the wall is facing, we can conclude option B must hold.

For shits amd giggles, I put a couple of industrial 10W fans in my PC once. That probably still made more noise than this. It also created so much overpressure that I could feel air escaping the tower from every little hole or crack. You could hold a piece of paper to the side of the pc, and see it moving because of the air escaping between the side panel and the main hull.

But if these are normal fans (max maybe 1,5W), then the amount of power drawn will be the same as a couple of hardrives.

No. No good. Rednax count 14 violations of prompt. Rednax will improve story now:

Thelsim like sound of name of Thelsim, so Thelsim approves of question :) Thelsim is unique enough name, if not-Thelsim sees Thelsim somewhere else, there’s good chance Thelsim is Thelsim. Thelsim thought Thelsim up on spot and kind of identifies with Thelsim now. Thelsim’s vague and genderless enough to apply to anyone and can still be remembered as normal name. Thelsim's become online identity of Thelsim. Caveman enough for not-Thelsim? :)

Not everyone has the advantage of a protruding belly to lather that soap on, you know.
