Mi hanno obiettato che non ho le zanzariere alle finestre, che, siccome ho una collezione di statue di fate ed altri soprammobili a cui tengo, devo mettere in conto che il gatto possa romperle e, quando ho detto che male male tengo chiuse quelle 2 stanze al gatto, apriti cielo.
Infine mi è stato chiesto se avessi problemi a far salire il gatto su letto e divano ed ho detto di no, solo a farlo salire sul tavolo mentre si mangia.

@view I mean, I knew they had poor taste, but I didn't imagine it was that bad.

"An urgent warning about the open web’s shrinking commons"
Vint Cerf,Cindy Cohn,Jon Stokes (ars technica),and me. a take:
"remake the connective tissue—technical, legal, and economic—that made the web an engine for learning and civic life.
Keep the network interoperable.
Safeguard libraries.
Restore competition.
If the open web can still be a place where truth moves farther and faster than lies, the next chapter can still be written with those principles in mind."

@amin it's really nice, and it's a forgiving non-stressful recipe. Takes a while for all the baking steps, but most steps are independent and don't require a lot of attention. It's hard to mess up. And, it's impressed just about everybody I've ever served it to. It punches far above its weight in terms of impressiveness to difficulty. You can even use canned enchilada sauce if you're in a hurry, it turns out fine.
