Thursday miscellanea #538

I purchased kitty litter at Walmart at 6:17 this morning. Only gets better from here today, folks.
Speaking of cats, I’ve been allergic since I was a child, but I get largely immune to specific animals. We can have a cat because I become acclimated to it. Now if I grabbed Harper and rubbed her really vigorously for several minutes near my face, then I would still have a reaction (runny nose, itchy neck, and tears, mostly). But day to day, she is no problem. That said, I still won’t be seeing you at Cattyshack, ever. I hope they are careful with that place. A little sloppiness with ventilation or cleanliness could make Lowe Mill miserable for the allergic.
I’ve needed to replace my desktop computer for a couple of years now. Feels like I’m finally getting close. I have customized Nathan’s desktop enough that I feel comfortable building a PC, but the appeal of off-the-rack may get me. (I’m not sure there’s enough savings to be worth the difference.)
There was a perfume ad in my Facebook feed, which seems odd, because neither Lea nor I have worn any sort of perfume or cologne in many years. It made me wonder what Chanel No. 5 costs these days, though. That was my mother’s perfume. It’s about $150 for the reasonably-sized bottle you would want to buy. That’s about double what I recall, which really means it hasn’t gone up at all.
No spoilers, but I finished season 4 of Better Call Saul. I’ll watch season 5 no matter what, but season 4 really kind of stunk. Like, maybe a C to a C+. There are basic functional plot deficiencies. Lots of unrealized potential.
Where you’ve seen that guy before: The motorcycle cop who pulls over the women in 9 to 5 when they’ve got the corpse in the trunk is the same guy as the Cadillac salesman Cooke kills at the beginning of Commando. The actor’s name is Michael DeLano.
Here is another interesting take on pornography as a public health problem—one which has, among its other points, that anti-porn positions not grounded in morality exist. More into my hopper as I consider and rethink my positions on “sex work” in general.
