My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it's the way I've heard it I can't support my pronunciation even after some searches. What's yours and why?

Last week, I made a post about a demon in my backyard at 4am.

For anyone curious, this is how it disguises its form during daylight. Pretty convincing and a lot less unsettling.

Jokes aside, I remember the PoM song being titled "She Fucking Hates Me," but according to Wikipedia it wasn't part of the title, just the lyrics.

I guess it actually was more mild than I remembered.

edit: Add a word.

My 5-year-old has set up a selection of large rocks on the railing of my back porch, which my kitchen faces.

In the kitchen, there is a small TV with a red status LED, which due to the window construction reflects twice.

As I naively walked into my kitchen, the only person in my house awake in the early morning, the rocks and lights lined up in an alarming way. I got quite a start.

(I know the picture isn't great quality ... I think the phone camera didn't want to focus on reflections. Also I zoomed in to hide my kitchen clutter.)

edit: Clarifications.

Do you want to live in the city or country? Either way, why? Is there a specific place you'd like to live?

edit: It's not a great picture, but I was trying to remove anything that could be used to doxx.

The cat pictured is Ripley. Don't tell her I told you.

According to the vet, she probably scratched her ear and nicked a blood vessel, causing a hematoma. They drained her ear, but it seems to be (fortunately slowly) refilling. We're planning to schedule another appointment for Monday, when they said they could basically sew her ear together to prevent it from happening again. I would have guessed they would go for cauterization, but apparently not.

edit; She's also quite underweight (apparently she's six pounds). I thought that was because she's getting old (she's approaching fifteen years) but the vet says she just needs to eat more. We got her some wet food to entice her appetite.

He's a good boy, though.

Either it was a local thing (I originally got the picture at Good Will) or my search skills are lacking. My wife loved it so I wish I could get her a reproduction.

Earlier today, I basically passed out. (I've had guests for most of the past week and have had very inadequate sleep.) Before I fell asleep, I texted a friend about a YouTube video that might interest them (Legal Eagle suing Honey). Then I fell asleep.

While I was sleeping, the friend responded with their insights about the case. I have no memory of it, but apparently the attached picture is how I responded to their comments on a video about a legal case. For some reason, that friend did not respond.

edit: Just refining the wording.

I'm not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it's probably more than the number of persons I can fit.
