That reminds me of the movie "Soylent Green", I think the government will use it to sedate unhappy and angry citizens

Nothing's ever prevented the Canadian government from spending money to re-invent something that already exists.

That's a good funny story.
article: We got a call from the zoo on Thursday to say he had been seen hanging around the birds of prey, trying to catch them close to the lion enclosure," said Mr Bateman.
But I am confused why why the cat wanted to "catch them close to the lion enclosure".
There's a dangling modifier in there somewhere.

If he hasn't been fixed, then he's sure got some cohones!

Cat: the other white meat.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I googled that. Sorry, you're wrong:
a cat from the wild would be considered red meat.

Actually, I'm sorry for wasting your time. 
[edit]Then again, since pigs are mammals, their meat should be considered red meat, even if it's white after cooking. So after further rumination, you are probably correct. Having never cooked a cat, I wouldn't know.[/edit]

Quote: A cat named after the Lion King film character Simba has been found seven months after going missing - near Colchester Zoo's big cats enclosure.
Simba was, even back in the days of black and white movies, a term used by Tarzan for Lions. A good thing, too, as that's Swahili for lions simba[^]
There's a certain sadness in that - for it is a reminder that the generation raised to be proud ignoramus' (ignorami ?) are now moving in to dominate society.
Oh Brave New World!

And even that has it's problems, as Tarzan was marooned on the west coast of Africa, and Swahili was spoken in East Africa ...

And in the movies, he named his monkey after a cat.
At least he named "boy" correctly.

I was determining whether I wanted to install WSL to check it out.
[X] Correct version of Win10
[X] It told me I needed to insure that Developer Mode is on I knew I already had that turned on (from UWP development)-- but when I went to check that setting suddenly I saw the following:

See the spinner at the bottom? 
That is odd that suddenly Win10 is installing something because I checked the setting
Finally, I saw this:

Remote tooling for desktop is now enabled.  ????
That feels very odd. Just weird that checking a setting causes something to be installed.
Microsoft, get your act together!!

Yeah, they just add stuff.
Microsoft: open wide, we'll just shovel this stuff in.

That's so that someone working from a script in India can remote into your computer and fix what the "developer" broke.
Or maybe it just changes the colors of the metro screen tiles to B&W. "Developer", get it?

Those two guesses are as good as any others about what Microsoft has done to my machine.

I think that second one is probably the correct one.
