How is hurting a feral cat a criteria for what he is allowed to do? A coyote would certainly have no compunction, why should he?

Best piece of advice I can give about learning anything (that doesn’t involve risk of injury): don’t try to learn everything there is to learn. Decide what you want to do and learn what you need to do that. Tell me something you’d be interested in doing…

Arduino and hobby electronics. It started out as a continuous loop pad dye machine to save me having to dye fabric by hand, strictly mechanical, but then I wanted to automate adding the chemicals at the right times.

Apropos of nothing, where are you finding domains for $10/year?

The suicidal overtone is a huge turnoff for me.
