You really have no clue how compilers and libraries work, do you?

He peeped through the kitchen window to see if the neighbors' cars have
come back. Pendulum clock now was showing almost noon time, and none of
those "true Americans" worked. So whatever booze and drugs buying
escapade they'd embarked on that morning should've ended by then. They
all had! So he took the paper with the sketch of the correct
cross-section on it, and got ready to go there and knock on their doors.

As he came back in the living room area it happened that he surprised
the only male cat he had who wouldn't let him touch him, let alone lift
or hug him. This was a black and white cat who in the hierarchy held
among them, occupied the lowest position. Even the miserable gray cat at
the second to lowest position, who always got bullied by the two other
male cats, would sometimes get a bit of respite in bullying this black
5and white one. And when that happened, the gray cat was ferocious
toward that cat, literally trying to make up for all the humiliation and
stress he was always receiving from the other males.

Physfit had not resolved that situation yet.

And when the black and white got surprised, he ran to hide somewhere,
which triggered the gray one to run after him, and the two other cats
run after both gray and the black and white cats. So suddenly a huge
noisy quarrel began and all four began running and jumping and fighting
and hitting stuff around the living room, throwing them down, etc.

When this happened, which it did about once a week, nothing would work
to stop them but water :) Physfit had to take one of their water bowls
and empty it on as many of them as he could at once. He did that, and
cats quickly dispersed and hid silently somewhere, with the female ones
still where they were, except were now watching this madness intently;
and probably getting yet a bit more feminist as a result. Physfit could
read their faces, "These lunatics..." they may've been thinking.

Physfit took a look around to estimate the damages. Other than all that
extra cleaning up added to usual daily chores, only one item seemed to
have suffered real damage. The pendulum clock. It had fallen down
hitting the hard floor underneath it when one or more cats had jumped
away from it. Its front door was unhinged and thrown off, and the
clock's both hands were missing. It was a piece of shit to begin with.
He'd bought it years back from a thrift store for something like $9. And
for some time he'd messed with it to make it work at all, forget the
accuracy.

The clock was prone to all sorts of disruptions. It was not designed to
automatically correct for any of them. The manufacturer, some fucking
CHINK, had left all that work to the buyers to toil and adjust. Its
functional window as far as being vertical was concerned, did not
include the 100% vertical direction! Right there you could see what type
of _Chink_ had designed it. Someone who'd left the rice fields not that
long before changing jobs.

Physfit had discovered that the pendulum would keep oscillating only
when the clock was held on the wall slightly tilted to one side, and
only to that side, and only to a certain degree, not more. There was not
a way to turn the clockworks part of it itself against the wooden body
of the clock. More than one screw had been used, and they weren't
regular screws either, you'd have to damage them to remove them. Not
wanting to go that far in the repair of the thing, Physfit had decided
to correct for it by tilting the frame itself. It wasn't showing that
much though. But it sure was, again, the hand of a fucking rice field
farmer showing. Or that of an equivalent little Code Monkey wannabe,
begat under some stone somewhere across this land of the brave, thus
turning into a "true American" for us who came and built the USA.

And there were all sorts of other problems with other parts of the
clock. For one, the slider on the pendulum bar for fine tuning
oscillation frequency was way too light for that job. You could move it
all the way up, and clock was still slow, or all the way down and clock
was still fast. Physfit had had to wrap rubber bands around the slider
to make it play a role... imagine what THAT did to the "interior design"
of the living room after the fucking think was tuned and done with,
giving the correct time at last. He'd messed with it so much in so many
different ways that he didn't even want to change the rubber bands with
something more appropriate. He wanted that Chinese _sin_ to exhibit
itself each time you'd notice it; or that stench of a "true American"
type parasite.

It had several other problems. The gears were sharp, showing that clock
was quite new, yet one wind beyond the second, and PRRROPP!, they'd slip
and turn back to the unwound position. There were at least three pivot
points where you could reduce or increase the distances between gears,
both sideways and in a planar way, and yet with nothing that Physfit had
tried, you would find a combination that eradicated the slippage of SOME
gear in there. Result was that this motherfucking thing could only get
safely wound two turns of the key, and never more. The little user
manual said 5 to 7 turns is best. So winding had to get repeated every
week, and not every month as it was supposed to.

The damn thing was also susceptible to temperature variations. The
material used, and the design of it both, were at fault. And this was
Texas! Where temperature often varies 30 to even 40 degrees within the
same 24 hours, repeatedly, in most periods of the year. So this thing
was accurate only in certain hours of each 24 hour period. It was the
mark of China in that house. The mark of rice field workers. A "true
American" thing.

The clock had been knocked down by cats once before, so Physfit
carefully placed the clock back on the wall, adjusted the position as
best as he could (he had marked the wall itself for it), and reinstalled
the detached front door of it whose glass was fortunately not shattered
or cracked.

He then looked for the hands and found them and inserted them back on
the face of the clock. He chose, for now, to position them at 12 o'clock
noon and adjust the fucking time and the clock itself later.

Unbeknownst to him, he had inserted the hands in wrong order,
effectively interchanging the roles of the two hands.

Cats are fucking filthy animals. They potentially harbor Toxoplasma gondii.
For human health, ALL fucking cats should be exterminated.

But all the queer women would hit the streets in protest.

Fuck pendulum clocks.

Surprisingly, the pendulum clock persisted into the 1920's as the only
accurate time piece for science and engineering. By that time, there
were some sophisticated designs for pendulum clocks.

But then quartz oscillators were introduced and they obviated the pendulum
clock.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator

Quartz oscillators are extremely cheap and provide astounding
accuracy. I use them in a lot of my circuits.

Pendulum clocks exist only for antique buffs and old women with
their pussy cats (and toxoplasmosis).

They exterminated them in medieval times in Europe and 2/3rd of human
population there got exterminated instead. By disease carrying mice.

In Egypt, on the other hand, when mice put a definite stop to their main
agricultural grains, they almost gave up, until somebody introduced cats
to households and fields around them. Cats saved the Egyptians, I mean I
have no idea how many tens or hundreds of thousands of them, or even
perhaps more than a million of them were saved. So cats became as
respectable to Egyptians as cows are in India.

There is a full-size statue of a cat among findings of ancient
Egyptians, made of pure gold! They meant that much to them.

Put that another way, if one multiplies an exact Farley a million times,
or 5 million times or more, one gets a nation that will get exterminated
by nature itself :-) Hehe :)

So rejoice, while individuals other than Farleys, also, are around :)

In case you haven't noticed, the Medieval period ended about 700 years
ago and ancient Egypt dropped out about 2500 years ago.

In modern times, there are excellent rodent control measures. There
is no need for cats except for severely repressed females (cat women)
and other highly neurotic human beings.

Now that the cat issue is settled, you are free to comment on the
pendulum time keeping issue.

The medieval period ended when the first dictionary of the English
language itself came out, in the 1700's ! That's just 300 years ago
according to my calculation.

Nope. The end of the Medieval period is also known as the Renaissance
which began in the 15th century, i.e. 1400's.

The Renaissance predates modern science but it includes the development
of perspective geometry which is fundamental to modern computer graphics.

The Renaissance also resulted in the fucked up female human being
which aided in preserving cats as a substitute for giving birth.

For neurotic women today, as back then, a cat is a substitute child.

Appearance of less than 5 figures doesn't bring the end of medieval
times. As I said, the proof of medieval times being over was the first
English dictionary getting printed because the effect had gone into
people by then. If not in your book, certainly in my book.

The matter of cat is not over until all Farleys are exterminated :)

For those newsreader nuts I add that the inability to sense the quote
from someone else and placing it under the poster's own name instead, is
a bug that persists to exist and hasn't been fixed.

If you highlight a piece of text from what you previously quoted from
someone else, and make a "followup" addressing that piece only,
Thunderbird places the text under your own name as if it was you who
posted it earlier. It doesn't sense the original poster of it.

Poor programming by one or more of the Code Monkeys who develop
Thunderbird. You monkeys are everywhere! This is USA after all.

Kind of like this but with four cats, not two, and numbers among cat
reactions do not add, they multiply!:

Nope. Check out the common reality:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_lady

In my neighborhood (Boston, MA) there was a woman who would always
leave food out in the open to feed her beloved squirrels. This is
just more projected motherhood.

The problem was that the food would attract and breed rats. The
city authorities, as a matter of public health, rightly forbad
her from leaving food out in the open. But the stupid, neurotic
bitch resisted and fought tooth and nail to keep feeding her
little "babies."

The phenomenon is real and widely recognized.

Cats, and their bitches, should be exterminated.

:-) That won't help your problem :)

Anytime, anywhere, any woman, if she observes, or is told by you or
others, or senses it herself, or even suspects it, that you show hatred
towards cats, she dumps you.

And women know quite well who to dump.

If you hate cats, you're not fit for any scene where relationship takes
place. Some men are like that. And as I said, what they need is not a
relationship, but a service. A servant. So they get a dog instead. With
a cat, not a single chance in the world you could have her as your
servant. She won't let you!

Get yourself a dog and that's all that you can muster in a "relationship."

Physfit then walked around and patiently removed other stuff around the
living room that were knocked around, and placed them nicely where they
belonged. Then he, one by one, showed love to all four cats and made
them sure he was not angry at them, the result of which had always been
visibly easy to see cause they also in turn, invariably, showed a sign
that they loved him back and aren't angry at him. This could be as
little as a quick short licking of their front lips (the "no, but thank
you for offering" reaction when you offer something to them to eat and
they're either not hungry or the thing is a bit below the level at which
a food for cat should be), or a fake yawning (saying, "I'm already over
it and everything is fine here"), or slowly narrowing their eyelids and
lowering their beautiful heads (saying, "I'm sorry, but it happens
sometimes"), or lifting their little chins up to receive a bit more of
that touch under their chins as well (the way a male cat "hugs" human),
along with many other ways they could respond back reassuringly.

Such reactions as suddenly go full force jumping around is of course an
amazing defense mechanism that when triggered, goes into effect
automatically until enough time has passed to collect information to
zero in on what the threat is, if any. And that's when, if there is not
an actual threat, it immediately ends. That reaction results from
advanced brain developments that immediately senses that possibilities
are endless and therefore preparation for every scenario is due. A lot
of life forms have that but in various degrees and never as advanced and
matured as in cats.

Those miserable little home-tyrants who could only stand dogs, NEVER
cats, couldn't find that feature in their dogs. Compared to cats, dogs
were like lame stupid creatures who had to wait _seconds_ to make the
threats coming in sink in, before similar mechanism in them would go
into effect.

Physfit, knew that with practice, human also could get there and create
such abilities almost to the level that he could observe in cats. A
couple of forms of martial arts that were developed by Modern Humans,
and not the early humans of Europe, aimed at creating that level of
reaction by a lot of practice and through many years of effort. Human
was THAT much backward and miserable compared to life forms like cats in
that regard. Cats were born with it, and we had to put at the least 3
years of multiple hours of practice per day, every day, into it, to
perhaps some of us get there where cats so naturally, comfortably and
gracefully, were.

After that necessary _duty_ was carried out, the one that a
home-little-tyrant boy could never even IMAGINE in his entire limited
life, Physfit then got busy with other chores, beginning with cooking
cat food!
