There’s one really popular red spot, but the three orange ones are also frequently hit, according to this analysis.

Basically, to survive, you need to make sure no one gets a monopoly of the orange or red ones. Which really brings us back to the point of the original game…lol

No, those are the two most expensive properties, right by the Go. Everyone wants to buy them because they see the huge rent price, but it turns out that people seem to land on those spaces only rarely.

Sorry for the reddit link.

And, really, the winner will almost certainly be determined by who owns the middle-priced properties. I’m too lazy to look them up, but it’s the ones that are essentially opposite the Go space on the board. It’s a fascinating commentary.

Let’s not forget who stopped it: Mitch “I believe he did it, but I’m voting NOT GUILTY” McConnell.

We feed one of ours cheese puffs. He loves them!

Oh yeah it would be interesting. Maybe they could destroy each other.

That look…

Are you still alive, Bamboopanda?

I kind of would like to see the Scientologists take him on. That would be interesting.

It works for your cat. It wouldn’t work for our cat that doesn’t eat treats, for example.

Yeah I’d be buying five if them for every cat we’ve had or have. Two of them are tuxedo cats, so the set the do offer is already close.

I turned off those modem noises.

I still have a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 with the beautiful aluminum case.

Facebook, Myspace, etc. all came after I finished grad school.

One more update - the neighbor (who is on a cruise right now) was very apologetic, but my wife was like, “Do you know my husband? He loves cats.” Our neighbor does know me, but she may not have realized that our cats are really mine, and I’m the one that brought a cat into the relationship. Tubby wandered into probably the best possible garage, from that point of view.

I do hope she comes back to visit, ideally without getting trapped this time. I haven’t seen her since just after the picture above. Maybe we should install a one way cat door - let them out, but not back in, if that’s a thing.

This is a religious thing in general, in my experience. Mostly older people, but not guaranteed, and not necessarily conservatives, either. Just people very deep into religion.

Edit: This has been covered elsewhere as well.

Update - I left the door open for several hours yesterday, then closed it in the evening and put food inside. This morning, the food was still there and the litter box was untouched, so it’s a safe bet she left. I’ll keep an eye out to see if she seems to be looking for a way to get back inside.

I used to live on the 15th floor of a high rise building. One day I had the windows open and my cat saw something outside that he tried to attack. There was nothing outside to catch him if the screen had given way: it was a drop straight to the ground. Fortunately the screen held in place, but it was scary.

I never opened the window that far again.

Yeah, I opened the garage door partway so she can get out if she wants. The plan is to close it again later, then put food out again, and see what happened to the food in the morning.

I told my wife that if the cat is going to live in there, I want to put in a cat door for her. And get her cheaper, non prescription food (our cats, all indoor only, are all on prescription food, for various issues). I don’t want to steal my neighbor’s cat, of course, but if that’s where she chooses to shelter, I’m sure my neighbor will be happy she found a warm place indoors. Apparently the neighbor was hoping to domesticate her but wasn’t successful, so this might be a good compromise for her. I’m sure our neighbor has a shelter set up for her, and food is out for her at that house, so it’s up to the cat what she wants to do.

I’m not looking to take on responsibility for another cat, but I won’t force her out, either.

Yeah I feel so bad, I had no idea she was trapped!

Office work sucks.

Not sure why you were downvoted, but you’re correct - I’m a late Gen Xer, and Facebook launched several years after I finished grad school - and didn’t become mainstream for another few years.

MySpace was started only one year earlier than Facebook. So, basically, the social media online that I knew before then were forums (like car forums that still exist).
