If animal control comes into an area and traps or kills all the cats then there are no cats. Problem gone.
However, there are three things that then happen.
One, cats from other neighborhoods move in to the cat free zone and within a year there are cats!
Two, no cats and then the place is over run with mice and rats.
Not really sure what is happening here, but I think we got some new “cats” now in the ‘hood. Maybe MS9 MS10 MS11 MS12 or MS14 or MS15. MS13 got their asses kicked here a few years ago by the illegals. Long story.

Food post. Stuffing.
I do not know why I keep doing this. I buy the Great Value stuffing as it is $1 cheaper than Stove Top. But it is different. It ends up as mush.
A box is enough for four meals. But I mess with it. Add a handful of cashews, half a finely chopped yellow onion and half a green pepper chopped but not as fine.
Best way is to add the butter, onions peppers and cashews to the two cups of hot water before dry stuffing mix is added. It mixes better.
Them microwave for six minutes at 700 watts then put it in a foil container and air fry it for 7 minutes at 400F to crispy the top.
Stuffing is not just for once a year at Thanksgiving….

The Fourth Ashes Test turned into just another T20 bash match. The Brits were there in spirit only having been on the Terms way too much. Then they couldn’t believe their luck. The Aussies were 3-to zip because the dumb as rocks, got too pissed between Tests for the ‘management’ to get the team back into some sort of professional structure. The Brit travelling “Barmy Army” were drowning their sorrow looking at a FIVE -Zip drubbing when …. Some Aussie Idiot driving a grass cutting lawnmower, totally ruined one of the best pitches in the world leaving 10 mm of grass on top of the pitch. This caused the bowlers on BOTH sides, to start drooling all over the pitch , at the chance of totally ruining the day for ALL of the batsmen on BOTH sides. Thirty wickets fell in a dingle day of bloodletting on BOTH sides. By day #2 it was all over. BOTH sides lost two Innings each. 97,000 Melbournian cricket fanatics saw just 2 days play before it was all over. This farce of a match due to some idiot on a tractor cost the MCG Cricket ground $3-4 million in lost tickets for the missing days 3; 4; and 5! BOTH Teams went to the pub and got sloshed. The Management from both sides considered ‘hari-kari’ and the Australian Cricket Board fined the Melbourne Groundsman mega-bucks for ruining a ‘dead rubber’ series, as the Aussies held onto the ‘Ashes’ having already won 3 our of the 4 matches.
The Fifth march at the SCG (Sydney Cricket Ground) where I grew up, went to school and know very well, was already a dead rubber and the Sydney-siders’ will probably stay away in droves and join both teams in the local Moore Park ‘boozer’. The Brits were totally dispirited even before the in Oz as the Aussies were after their blood playing on Aussie pitches. The ‘Barmy Army’ of fanatical Brit camp followers, were pissed and just happy to score one victory with a dead rubber to go! Three men and a dog will attend the Fifth Test and 55,000 seats will probably seat empty for 5 days and another $5 million of lost revenue.

Cat story regarding cat tails.
Normally a male cat runs around with his tail straight up in the air. Perfect for spraying on things!
However, a couple of weeks ago he got his tail bitten in a fight, so instead of his tail straight up in the air like a thing on the back of a bumper car at a fairground it was hanging like the tail of a dressage horse.
You guessed it. Every time he sprayed he pissed on his tail.

BREAKING: Historic Vondelkerk Church in Amsterdam just burned to the ground on New Year’s Eve

Celebrations commenced at about 8pm.
Neighbors finally ran out of bullets at around 2am.

Anyway, trauma is done hopefully until 4th July.

That means he cannot stick his tail into the air like the thing on the back of a bumper car at a fairground but it is droopy.
When male cats take a piss they squat down and let go like a girl dog.
However when male cats spray to mark territory they stick their tail in the air and do a squirt!
With a broken tail they just squirt on themselves.
I am pleased to announce Glen’s tail is healed and his spraying functionality is fully restored!

Thinking about electronics and cats over the weekend I am devising a cunning plan ( Blackadder reference ) As you know these development systems are frun to play with bit then it gets boring when you have no practical application.
I built a Sous Vid system using a rice cooker, a solid state relay and an Arduino. Made many nice steak, pork and chicken meals. Then got bored with it. It is in the closet somewhere.
Anyway, cat problem at this time of year. Thinking of electronically marking my male cat’s territory for him when he is inside. An annoying ultrasonic thingy. I has HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensors in stock somewhere. They blast out a burst of 40Khz and then receive the echo.
Dogs and cats can hear it but not adult humans.
Basically make the area outside apartment annoying to other cats. When my cats are out I would just turn it off.
I will dig through my stash of stuff and give it a try.
The downside, and there is always a downside. There are some very small children that play in this area. It is possible they can hear the ultrasonic too.
LOL hey it could work as a small child repellant too!
@ Possum:
LOL Grok says it is a go!
Well nailed air fryer chicken breast. It will be supper tonight.
Take one chicken breast, dry thoroughly with paper towels. Make cuts in it about half an inch apart and almost through it on the scraggly side. Examine your breasts and you will know what I mean. Sprinkle the cut side with onion powder and sage. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow seasonings to infuse into your breast.
Then lightly dust with cornstarch, liberally coat in mayo and finally roll in bread crumbs. I use the Italian ones or smash up Stove Top stuffing into a fine powder.
Air fry at 350F for 25 minutes turning once, then blast the smooth side for 5 mins at 400F.
The mayo provides the oil. The 400F at the end browns and crisps the coating.
Tonight will be served with mash and green beans with alfredo sauce.
Tomorrow night: Chicken with peanut sauce.
Happy January 6

Google Camp Century, a really cool place operated from 1959 until 1967. It consisted of 21 tunnels with a total length of 9,800 feet (3.0 km) and was powered by a nuclear reactor. Project Iceworm was aborted after realization that the ice sheet was not as stable as originally assessed, and that the missile basing concept would not be feasible. The reactor was removed and Camp Century later was abandoned. However, hazardous waste remains buried under the ice and has become an environmental concern.[5]
So, all Trump has to do is ask Greenland nicely and they will be willing to help in anyway they can, as they did in the past.

Tear whatever paper you need to dispose of into small pieces. Mix with the contents of a cat litter box. Add water and stir.

Or get a shredder….

Last batch almost ended in a fail. I forgot the mushrooms and added them when I remembered at the one hour mark. Them mutherfluckers float!
This time I think I got it right. Boil carrots for 15 mins in chicken stock first. Add to slow cooker along with mushrooms.
Mushrooms float to the top, absorbing juice and flavour as they rise.
Add chunks of beef that were coated in cornstarch and shallow fried in coconut oil. And add two medium onions cut into big pieces. ( I would like pearl onions that retain their shape but none in stock )
It will be ready in 8 hours.

And there is an alternative plan.
The chunks of beef were coated in cornstarch and pan fried in coconut oil first. The onions, mushrooms and carrots were also semi cooked i the slow cooker with seasonings. Not as fast as I want!

Trump shoots from the hip, and I think a lot of what he says in public is done to troll the leftwing medioids.
I think we could keep Greenland semi-antonymous, make it a US Protectorate, maintain a military presence, and mine lithuanians if we want to.
Wednesday there were multiple videos that should be mandatory training for all law enforcement.
If you are standing in front of a vehicle and it starts to move towards you shooting the driver in the head and killing them instantly will not in fact stop the vehicle instantly. I think it is Newtons 7th law of mass and inertia and dead people can’t hit the brakes.
Best option is get out of the way. Then chase the vehicle with an helicopter for 40 minutes and post it on Youtube.
The SUV with a dead driver continued on its journey, it did not stop because driver was dead. Only thing that stopped it was a stupid tree that got in the way.
If it had been a Tesla it would have continued for the next 20 minutes, obeying speed limits and traffic signals to the nearest Walmart. Found an empty parking place and parked perfectly.
Moral of this story, if a car is coming towards you then killing the driver will not stop it. Get out of the fucking way.

Communist front groups have been funding this crap for over a hundred years. They were a big part of the anti war isolationist movement in the thirty’s and early forties before Hitler invaded Russia. After Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa in June of 1941 they suddenly decided we needed to defeat the Axis.
Hind sight is 20/20
Where the House Un-American Activities Committee screwed up was they should have gone after the Commies in the colleges instead of Hollywood.
he group also organized a protest Friday night that later grew violent as rioters broke into a local hotel where they believed ICE agents were staying in Minneapolis.
Just hours after the shooting, an Instagram account called “ICEoutoftwinports” said “NEED BODIES” in response to apparent Homeland Security Investigations activity at a daycare in Duluth, Minnesota.
Another post from the group that day asked “for people to SHOW UP in numbers” to an area where 100-200 agents were apparently spotted.
I’m sure they were going into the hotel for totally peaceful reasons. They need designated now.

Damn.
As this is now a thread about old people.
Two days ago I had a conversation with the local weed salesman outside the convenience store. He is six months younger than me.
I was carrying a bottle of MD2020 which cost me $8.11 including tax. He sells baggies of weed for $10. We got into a discussion about what would benefit me more. Would I sleep better and have less joint pain if I bought some weed instead.
He even offered to roll me a couple of magic cigarettes if my hands hurt, a full service drug dealer!
Then we had a good laugh, he faked arthritis and I faked it back. Why is that funny?
To a casual observer it looked like we were throwing gang signs at each other.
Oh well, we thought it was funny….

We had inmates who used to pull stuff like that, too. It’s even dumber on their part. Okay, great. You got away from the CO who was trying to cuff you. Now what? You’re still in a prison. You can’t hide. Why bother?
@ lobo91:
But in these videos the ICE thugs are not detaining anyone for any other reason that they are committing traffic violations or just following ICE thugs.
No request for driver license, proof of insurance.
Watch the videos of police, real police dealing with sovereign citizens.
@ Possum:
The guy in that video I posted where they broke the window was someone they were specifically after. He wasn’t a protester. I think the other guy might have been.
When ICE detains US citizens, it’s not for traffic violations. They don’t even have the authority to cite someone for that, because it’s state law. If they pull someone out of a car, it’s for obstruction.
@ Possum:
As for the people claiming that they aren’t “real police” because they’ve shortened the academy training schedule, most of what they cut was the Spanish language training. ICE and CBP have always had a requirement for Spanish fluency, regardless of where the agents were going to be working. It was bad enough when they required people working along the border in upstate NY to speak Spanish, when French would have been more useful, but these days, they’re encountering people from every country on Earth.
And there’s no need for them to learn a lot of the things that they teach at, say, the NYPD academy, because it’s not stuff they’re expected to do. They’re not patrol cops who drive around in a car and eat donuts while waiting for a call. They don’t do investigations or collect evidence, or get cats out of trees.
@ lobo91:
ICE do not pull people out of vehicles because they are obstructing.
They move into the front hen shoot them in the face, then move to the side and shoot them twice more in the head.
Then, walk away, tell bystanders to call 911 and get in the passenger side of an ICE SUV that then does a U turn and drives away the wrong way on a one way street.
I support law enforcement almost 100% almost….

And there you nailed it. At police academies much of the training is dealing with people. The ICE thugs do not have that training.

@ Possum:
And it’s generally not an issue. ICE has existed in its current form for over 20 years, and before that, it was called INS. It’s only been the last year where anyone has even cared about them.
@ Possum:
And by the way, the agent who shot that dingbat the other day isn’t one of the ones who went through the shortened training program. He’s been on the job for more than a decade.
@ lobo91:
Don’t know anything about @mazemoore, but he’s got a nice collection of news clips from a few years ago when the dems praised ICE as heroes.

Bunk Five Hawks X wrote:
Felon? That is a bit of a stretch. She was not arrested, charged and found guilty by a jury of her peers.
Why are you defending a law enforcement officer that killed someone after he placed himself in a position that triggered the event.
@ Possum:
She wasn’t arrested for felony obstruction because she resisted (which is a second felony), then attempted to flee (a third felony), striking an officer with her vehicle in the process (a fourth felony).
And if anyone placed him or herself in a position that triggered the event, it was Renee Good. She had no business attempting to become a human shield in order to protect criminal aliens.
BREAKING: The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.

Waiting for my order of carrots to arrive. Baby carrots intended for supper tonight, slow cooked in the broth that a chunk of pork loin was slow cooked last night.
On the Walmart app you can see where your carrots are.

@ Bunk Five Hawks X:

” Ausweisdokumente Schnell ” ( Identification documents quickly )
Carrots arrived! They are now in the slow cooker with the juices from last night’s pork loin thing, which was cooked to perfection. Two pounds of it at $2.17 per pound.
Unfortunately a 5 liter box of Cabernet and a 30 pack of beer also arrived. So don’t expect me to make any sense until next Tuesday.
Actually, the 5 liter boxes of wine keep me drunk for about 3 days at $18 per box. Financially a good deal, a yuge deal, the best deal ever!
Plus due to the fact that wine is less liquid than beer then when I pass out eventually I don’t then wake up every two hours to urinate.
Last night sleep was 13 hours. How do I know? I check my browser history. It tells me how long I was NOT on the Internet.
Looking forward to boiled carrots in about five hours. 8pm or 20:00 in metric. Served with pork, stuffing and apple sauce.
@ Possum:
While we are on the subject of baby carrots, they are currently a good price at $1.17 per pound.
They are not exactly young and tender carrots, they are normal yuge carrots affixed to a lathe type device and ground down. The grindings are then used in juices.
Just like potatoes are peeled, sliced into fries and where do the trimmings go?
Packet instant mash, pringles, lays wavy chips etc.
@ Possum:
And a boring post. Whenever I post something I think is true or I kind of make up for dramatic effect I then ask Grok to see how accurate I was.

They play at being super heroes and capture and deport illegals, that lived in the USA and put down roots. Some roots involved caring for animals.

A Possum on a PC is a formidable beast.
Exhibit one.
A few months ago all we heard was Venezuela and drugs and things. Now it seems the emphasis is on the US oil companies resuming operations there because in the past they were kicked out of Venezuela when the regime nationalised the oil industry.
So, was it drugs or oil?
Exhibit two.
Greenland. Essential for the USA to own it due to national security!!!!!!
Not really, Greenland is a buddy, they accommodate as long as the USA does not leave a stinking radioactive mess behind.
Anything the USA needs to do to install radar systems to detect naughty missiles then Greenland are OK with it. There are 12 USAF bases in Greenland currently but only one is occupied.
So, is it national security or minerals?
In 2025 there were several yuge deals done between Greenland and mining corporations. Deals done.
Don’t make me Google all this.
The fact is Greenland is open to companies to mine the really nice stuff as long as those companies agree not to make a messy polluted mess.
Trump is not the slightest bit interested as to where Russia and China and Greenland is.
In fact in an all out nuclear war between Russia, China and the USA then Greenland is one of the safe places to be.
oh and as a final comment due to the recent enforcement of immigration laws and self deportation there has been a surge of cats and dogs taken in by animal control and a corresponding surge in euthanasia ( murdering ) those animals.
next time illegal kitten comes in to apartment she stays.

@ Possum:
Why do I say Fuck ICE?
Because absolutely nothing is being done about the reason illegals are in the USA.
No criminal prosecutions for anyone paying an illegal.
The most funny thing I read on a “news” site was the owner of the company said he did not use e-verify to check his hires as it was too expensive.
It is free, and takes two minutes. The few of us who are not citizens are encouraged to e-verify ourselves to make sure our info is correct.
I did not bookmark the link but I could find it if asked.
food post.
mixing cashew nuts with ramen noodles in a stir fry is great.
mixing cashew nuts with pasta is fucking nasty. do not do it.
@ Possum:
I’d strengthen e-verify.
Start asking for a previous employer. Start tracking how many different applicants use the same information.
Start finding any business which doesn’t use e-verify a minimum of $50,000 per illegal immigrant they hire. And yes, that would include landscaping companies, construction companies, restaurants, etc. Throw in jail time for whoever did the hiring.
