Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When I get a job, when I get a job...I will get either the 10' (practical) or 12' (keerazy wild.)

When I get a sense of self-worth and contribute to society.

My Blu-Ray player is dying - what brands do people like? This one was a Panasonic and is just barely 3 years old, so I'm leaning towards Samsung or LG. I don't care if it has apps, but I would like it to be able to update firmware over the internet and play 3D discs.

Hey. New board.

I am still using my five year old LG with good success, though I recently noticed that it'd DID laser apparently died so it can only read actual blu ray disks now. So that's a mixed rec. Mine is Internet capable (it can actually play local media files directly over a network share without needing DLNA) so the firmware updates online.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Just got a Google verification code I didn't ask for - two-factor authentication FTW!

And question: this is a LastPass generated password (very long, very random) that's not used on any other site. Worth changing anyway just to be safe?

If you're using LastPass, any reason not to? I figure you might not want to change it if you were trying to remember it in your head, but if you use LastPass anyway...

Actually I figured out it was just Waze trying to reauthorize itself. Which is weird because Waze is owned by Google and should already have my password!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

What does this mean when I am trying to get to a website:

Http/1.1 Service Unavailable

I have been sent links to many wigs I need to buy at www.thewigcompany.com, and I cannot get there!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It's an error on their website. Check back later and see if it's back up.

Thanks! I thought so, but I was also panicking since I really have to order these!
