It's funny how squirrels are pretty much the same wherever you go, except for their tails. At least it's my impression...

That's it. The next time I'm in the US I'm finding a way to smuggle one back with me.

Send some of those systems my way! It's going to be another 40ºC day tomorrow. My life is now defined by moments of wandering from one air-conditioned bubble to another.

Ah, and a new word!

lum·pen
ˈləmpən,ˈlo͝om-/
adjective
adjective: lumpen

1.
(in Marxist contexts) uninterested in revolutionary advancement.
"the lumpen public is enveloped in a culture of dependency"
boorish and stupid.
"growing ranks of lumpen, uninhibited, denim-clad youth"

A marxist cloud? Edit: no, a cloud uninterested in revolution.

fur-farming, escapees, eradication attempts... supposedly largely successful and i suppose it was a few years back now. maybe they are all gone, but i've heard people who night fish mention them so i think there are still some wandering about.

From the Hi Ku Cat thread, to avoid hijacking it:

Im a INTP introspective? now I have to read back

Here are the "cognitive functions" for the INTP (source: wikipedia):

Dominant: Introverted thinking (Ti)

Ti seeks precision, such as the exact word to express an idea. It notices the minute distinctions that define the essence of things, then analyzes and classifies them. Ti examines all sides of an issue, looking to solve problems while minimizing effort and risk. It uses models to root out logical inconsistency.[13] Ti is calm, articulate, and aware of the forces that bind reality together. As introverted thinkers, INTPs spend the majority of their time and energy ordering the interior, logical world of principles and generalizations in an effort to understand.

Auxiliary: Extraverted intuition (Ne)

Ne finds and interprets hidden meanings, using “what if” questions to explore alternatives, allowing multiple possibilities to coexist. This imaginative play weaves together insights and experiences from various sources to form a new whole, which can then become a catalyst to action.[14] Ne gives INTPs a grasp of the patterns of the world around them. They use their intuition to amalgamate empirical data into coherent pictures, from which they can derive universal principles. INTPs frequently puzzle over a problem for hours on end, until the answer suddenly crystallizes in a flash of insight.

Tertiary: Introverted sensing (Si)

Si collects data in the present moment and compares it with past experiences, a process that sometimes evokes the feelings associated with memory, as if the subject were reliving it. Seeking to protect what is familiar, Si draws upon history to form goals and expectations about what will happen in the future.[15] Si gives INTPs the potential for keen observation. They use this function to gather empirical data, use physical tools, perceive physical relationships, and support their internal logic with a rich sense of space.

Inferior: Extraverted feeling (Fe)

Fe seeks social connections and creates harmonious interactions through polite, considerate, and appropriate behavior. Fe responds to the explicit (and implicit) wants of others, and may even create an internal conflict between the subject’s own needs and the desire to meet the needs of others.[16] Fe drives the INTP to desire harmony in community. At their most relaxed, INTPs can be charming and outgoing among friends, or when they have a clearly defined role in the group. When under stress, however, INTPs can feel disconnected from the people around them, unable to use their extraverted Feeling to reach out to others. As their inferior function, Feeling can be a weak point; when threatened they will hide behind a wall of stoic logic. This can lead them to bottle up their emotions to preserve reason and harmony; but a failure to deal with these concealed emotions can lead to inappropriate outbursts.

 

[butters]

inappropriate outbursts!

ha

 

[HarryHill]

but furry fish? shudders

Haaha

 

[HarryHill]

Haha... no, she's talking about coypu (and capybaras).

Checking in safe and dry...ish Oddly enough we had a beautiful sunny day albeit damn cold, but the now the wind is howling round the house like banshees running amok
As for Coypus there used to be loads in the rivers in Norfolk when I was a child and I once met one face to face at the back of the sand dunes (no jokes please about meeting rats in the sand dunes!) and I don't know which of us was the most startled!
