Feist just chased another fox out of here. This one came in the back door, and headed straight down the hall to the front room…where I saw her asleep in the window earlier. Not for long 😾

I was telling Foxy to leave, and pretty much got ignored. Then Feist charged, and Foxy couldn’t get back down the hall fast enough.

Almost wish I had managed to get video, but the whole episode took maybe a minute. Now Feist is sitting outside, guarding the patio and telling me about it.

Something tells me that might be one fox who won’t be so tempted the next time to go exploring through open doors 🙄 Maybe also wishing they’d stopped to snack on the dry cat food before checking out the rest of the place.

We ended up doing a double lazy earlier, and got delivery from an Indian place down the street instead of walking down there to get it.

My main dish container looked bigger than I expected, and no wonder. Opened it up to find half a dozen lamb chops!

I think they got the order mixed up a bit, and sent “Bengal Chop” (also on the menu) instead of the “"Bengali Lamb”. Not going to complain, though, because it was delicious and there’s certainly plenty of it 😅

About to attack some more now. With everything else, I only ate one of the chops earlier. As usual, I was planning for some leftovers, but that is definitely at least one lunch covered.

I used to get pretty embarrassed sometimes at that “have trouble registering that you need to pee until it’s almost too late” thing. Even though I figured out how to work around it and mostly avoid accidents a long time ago. Nobody else seemed to get what was going on, either.

Was relieved to find out maybe 10 years ago that it’s not an uncommon thing among autistic people, though. Similar with registering/ignoring hunger and other body signals. Some reasonable explanation for unusual and potentially embarrassing issues, at least.

 Some of you are reblogging because you think its funny that programmers would talk to ducks. I’m reblogging because I think its funny picturing a programmer explaining their code, realizing what they did when they explain the bad code, then grabbing the strangling the duck while yelling “WHY WAS THE FIX THAT SIMPLE!? AM I GOING BLIND!”

AS A PROGRAMMER I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU FUCKING DO WE HAD TO BAN THE DUCKS FROM MY CLASSES BECAUSE EVERYONE WOULD FLIP THE DUCK OR THROW IT AT A WALL OR SOMETHING WHEN THEY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM IN THEIR CODE

so that’s the function of a rubber duck

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I work at a startup and part of the onboarding package you get when you first start working here now includes a rubber duck. We also have a bigger version of the duck for the extra hard problems. Sometimes one duck doesn’t cut it and you need to borrow your neighbors to get more ducks on the problem. One time we couldn’t figure out why something wasn’t working right so we assembled the counsel of ducks and by the grace of the Duck Gods were we able to finally come to a solution. These ducks have saved many lives and should be respected for the heroes they are.

I use this for writing, actually. Explain what I’m doing and what I want to do and the different ways i can get to point B from A, as well as the different problems, amazingly working them out as I explain why I could or couldn’t the different things. I love the Rubber Duck theory.

Former programmer, can confirm. We didn’t have a duck in our office so our other programmer, who I shared a space with, used me as a duck proxy. (For the explaining, not the throwing.)

There was more than one day where I’d casually hear “Hey can you be a duck for a minute?”

As a writer I can also vouch for rubber duckies

I’ve known too many programmers not to know about the anaticular tendencies.

I feel like i now need to get one when I’m writing.

This is such a good idea .

My partner used a plushie cat, when he didn’t have any real cats around to hold and explain things to. Still keeps it on the desk 😹

I have no idea how good this may be, but I guess we’ll find out before too long.

The ingredients looked reasonable, so it’s hopefully OK with some seasoning adjustment. And maybe not as much of that, since it’s Italian-made.

Mr. C is off with friends to some beer festival tonight, so I decided to grab something easy that he wouldn’t want to eat 😊 This seemed to fit the bill, with linguine and some fried zucchini on the side.

(Still haven’t quite decided if I want to chunk that up to cook with some onions and probably garlic, or just slice and sear with a little olive oil and adobo seasoning. Hungry enough to make decisions harder, too.)
