Yeah, I think they're confusing themselves a little bit. Which is unfortunate because it's a pretty good system actually, it just counts 0-99 not 0-100 like they're claiming.

OP used a word with a specific meaning. Someone pointed out that that word doesn't apply here. You come in to say that we're wrong for pointing out that word doesn't apply and keep digging in to say why the word doesn't mean what it means.

One of us is an ass for sure.

I'm aware. It's also the one the tortoiseshell pattern (in general, not just for cats) is named for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortoiseshell

And frankly, it doesn't particularly matter what OP meant. Doesn't make it correct. Tortoiseshell cat fur is a specific pattern.

This is just kinda obstinate though. Tortoiseshell in the context of cats obviously refers to the fur pattern. To assume otherwise is odd. And just because that's the kind of tortoiseshell you're thinking of doesn't mean the pattern isn't also named after a tortoiseshell.

Tortie is just shorthand for tortoiseshell, which the belly isn't. She's a very pretty cat, but words have meanings and she doesn't have tortoiseshell pattern fur.

I'm not talking about breeds either. I'm talking about fur patterns. Breeds are cruel, fur patterns are just genetic expressions.

Yeah, "classic" or "marble" tabby pattern. Very pretty, but not tortoiseshell. My calico has tortoiseshell over most of her body.

Fuck summer and heat. Thermoregulation is impossible for me in the summer and I'm miserable, winter I can be cozy every single day.

I love my Bolt, and I too just use a standard outlet. I don't drive a ton daily (just my local area mostly) but I regularly do a 100 mile round-trip to visit family in it, often every 2-3 weeks. I only need to be charging maybe 10% of the time I could be, so I wouldn't have to change anything even if I increased my driving a lot.

How else are they gonna use it to coerce votes out of people who don't like them? They can't possibly do anything until an election is imminent.

It's absolutely gross. I literally think about it every time a Boomer socially pressures a handshake with me, and I try not to touch anything else until I can wash my hands or at least get some sanitizer. Idk if any individual is guilty of it, but enough strangers are that I'm not taking chances.

Public men's restrooms make me not want to shake hands with anyone. The number of men who walk out straight past the sinks without stopping is alarming and disgusting.
