the FR page loads before the host site replies, so no images show.

If that is the only problem, it usually can be fixed by a refresh; or the pix will show up later on the person's ping page. But sometimes people experience incompatability with their ISP or other parts of the internet. Some providers suppress FR, for instance. Some people's own computers have stringent preference settings or size limits to downloads.

:^) Probably the robust nature of those makes the choice easy between them and venetian blinds, at least for cat people. :^)

Dandi vs. new plantation shutters ($$$$): Dandi 1, shutters 0. She is LARGE, STRONG (pushed a 27” iMac off my desk, shattered the screen—thank goodness for Applecare insurance), and SMART.

I have an orange tabby and two calico cats. They are “barn” cats who seem to be getting lazy and are spending a lot of time on my back porch. The orange tabby thinks the price for being allowed to walk past her is a few scratches of her head.

That may have something to do with the fact that one day I was looking for something to do with my leftover meat grease, and just poured it into an old bowl and set it on the porch. Guess what a passel of barn cats now think they deserve every evening?

I’ve heard that they’re pretty smart, and larger than regular housecats. They’ve even got an FR keyword, if memory serves.

Expecting to find the protein-coding section of the overproductive Arhgap36 gene had mutated, the researchers were surprised to find it was the sequence preceding it that instead contained a deletion, presumably affecting the rest of the gene's expression.

That would be the place where the antenna, so they can access the collective brain cell, should be plugged in.

Love our orange boy but bright he is not.
