This is why my scratching posts are all carbon steel
No problems with the cat but what about my pet rm?
Not without help from your pet sudo.
You can blame a cat or dog approximately once per 5 years of employment. Nice save!
My dog ate my spreadsheet
Randy you’ll never believe it. The cat did it again, yep this time it’s the IRS servers. Whole thing is down and can’t be recovered. Don’t worry I have told the cat on no uncertain terms that 3 or 4 more times and I’m going to start getting pretty angry about this.
White hat kitty is in ur serverz
Erasing ur PIIz
Why you should write rm /path/to/dir -rf ; and not rm -rf /[cat jumps here]
Some linux greybeard wisdom right there
Other than cat jumping, you can just accidentally hit enter all by yourself, it's a well-developed reflex for all of us.
I donmt like where this is going. Legit, animals are considered peoperty and this cat has United States of America v. Random cat who had and maintains no idea what the fuck's going on written all over it.
Sad.
