Hi, I have an irrelevant question.

It's about an error with some utility that I'm not even running inside crouton. Or maybe it's a programming question? I haven't decided yet. It might not even be a question at all! Like sandwiches, rhubarb pie, and/or trout yogurt.

Here's a dump of something without context that I think might be useful.

}}</ref> or simply the '''cat''' when there is no need to distinguish it from other [[Felidae|felids]] and [[Felinae|felines]]. Cats are often valued by humans for companionship and their ability to hunt [[vermin]] and household pests.

Cats are similar in [[Cat anatomy|anatomy]] to the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. [[Cat senses]] fit a [[crepuscular]] and predatory [[ecological niche]]. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in [[frequency]] for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small game.  They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer [[color vision]] and a better [[Olfaction|sense of smell]] than humans.

Despite being solitary hunters, cats are a social species, and [[cat communication]] includes the use of a variety of [[Animal communication|vocalization]]s ([[meowing]], [[purr]]ing, [[Trill consonant|trilling]], hissing, [[growling]] and [[Guttural|grunting]]) as well as [[cat pheromone]]s and types of [[Cat body language|cat-specific body language]].<ref name="Moelk" />

Cats have a rapid breeding rate.  Under controlled breeding, they can be bred and shown as [[Cat registry|registered]] pedigree pets, a hobby known as [[cat fancy]]. Failure to control the breeding of pet cats by spaying and neutering, and the [[Abandoned pets|abandonment of former household pets]], has resulted in large numbers of [[feral cat]]s worldwide, requiring [[animal population control|population control]].<ref name="Rochlitz">{{Cite book |last=Rochlitz |first=Irene |title=The Welfare of Cats |series="Animal Welfare" series |year=2007 |publisher=Springer |location=Berlin |pages=141–175 |isbn=1-4020-6143-9}}</ref>

I think it has something to do with the gigabits, but it's hard to tell these days.

Please fix everything; thanks!

dnschneid commented 11 years ago

crouton can present a strange environment to software. If it were an issue with a tool running inside crouton, I'd at least help you figure out if it actually is due to the crouton environment or not.

In this case, however, the question has nothing to do with crouton and will be closed with great prejudice. Please re-open it you believe it is, in fact, related to crouton.

What makes this thread funnier to me is that I just saw David's humor on 'bashism' today.

Ok... alright... I stop here and go on laughing now.

@mark-hahn https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/pull/1754 See the outdated diff. Strictly speaking that's not humor. It's just funny to see David was pointing out the bashism all the way.
