I’m a programmer. The word “Pre-diculous” came up in conversation with a co-worker this afternoon. We’re interpreting it as “this is a dumb thing that we’ve been told to implement, but it hasn’t been released yet”.

@dumdumjobes They look pretty comfortable all the same. Seems to be a universal dog (and especially cat) talent!

My Mom’s dog, trying to fit in the cat’s bed. She looks worried all the time, but she gets points for optimism

Based on something I witnessed this afternoon, please consider this a reminder: check on those around you.
We like to think of the holidays as a Hallmark movie, but it's honestly a rough season for many.
Send a text. Check in on a friend. Say hi to a neighbor, if possible.

Lads I can 100% NOT recommend falling down your stairs in the dark because your fucking black cat was lying across one of them.
Just off phone with 111 who have no major concerns but still absolutely wrecked as if a bus hit me.
Scalded yesterday. Today this. That's enough thanks.

TIL: There is a cursed color in the Kodak ProPhoto RGB color space which, when converted to sRGB using pre-August-2020-Security-Update Android's image conversion routines, causes an integer overflow and a crash due to a rounding error. Some dude accidentally created an image (https://www.flickr.com/photos/gaurav_agrawal/48746079687/) which contains the cursed color on a single pixel. In 2020 if you set this image as your desktop on a Google or Samsung device, the device would brick & lose all onboard data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXKvwPjCGnY
