What OP is talking about is actually a real thing. Sovcit stuff, not so much.

Is there a way to set up a vps as a seedbox with a cloud storage provider as storage? VPSes have almost no storage, and I already have a cloud storage provider with a fuckton of space; so spending $30+ a month on a dedicated seedbox seems unnecessary.

I live next door to UTD.

Lucky. Someone chased off all the opossums in our neighborhood. Makes me mad.

Nope, they're mostly all bark, no bite. You have to actually harass them to get them to bite you, even if they're showing their teeth. Their bite strength is one of the lowest among mammals too. That said, supposedly their teeth are actually really sharp.

Yeah, but isn't kinda well established that the "lasers" in star wars are actually plasma guns and George Lucas is just a dumbass who doesn't know how light works?

Ah, yes, noon.

Nah, jk, sun doesn't go down until 7pm here. However I wanna live in a place where the sun doesn't come up during the winter and doesn't go down during the summer. That seems like it'd be a really cool experience.

Alright, so, in Texas you're not allowed to own an opossum as a pet. There is no license for owning a pet opossum (they're "fur-bearing animals"). However, there is a license that'll let you kill opossums for their fur. Furthermore, said license allows you to trap them. The interesting part is that there's no legal requirement for you to actually kill the opossum if you trap one. You can trap the opossum and take possession of it for however long you like.

So basically a hunting license (might have been a trapping license?) lets you effectively own an opossum as a pet in Texas!

Edit: also, yes, opossums are as soft as they look, which is why people used to hunt them for their fur. I got a chance to pet one and it was about as soft, if not softer, than a cat. Also very boney, like cats.

It makes me so sad that you can't legally own Virgina opossums in Texas.

This is already kind of a thing. There used to be a twitch channel where they had news generated with chatgpt, presented by AI-voiced characters, but I can't remember what the channel was called. It may not even exist anymore.

More like the cats are working together and the opossums are just along for the ride. Opossums are no thoughts head empty. Brain smooth.
