catio
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: compound
Etymology: Blend of cat + patio.
Compound parts: cat
patio
Inflected forms:
form: catios
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: An outdoor enclosure for cats.
pos: noun
examples: So some cat owners who would never dream of letting their pets roam free outside have come up with a creative compromise: an enclosed space — usually in the form of a screened-in porch or deck — that allows them to share the great outdoors. Please don’t call it a cage. They prefer the term “catio.”
And we have a catio of sorts, a small screened porch built by the previous owner for humans.
She made a “fence” of them for Varmint inside the wrought iron white fence that bordered the patio so that it was his “catio.”
They're happy to hang out on what we call their “catio” all day, lazing on the couch while glowering at chipmunks and letting the sun warm the downy fur on their bellies.
Behaviorally, catios help cats organically cross their own challenge line; like any Catification project, catios should be scalable and filled with everything from scent soakers (for comfort, both physical and territorial) to superhighway elements that can change over time to accomodate the cat's curiousity and maturation.

pos: noun

examples: Abstract: I introduce and argue for the importance of a cognitive state that I call alief. An alief is, to a reasonable approximation, an innate or habitual propensity to respond to an apparent stimulus in a particular way.
Simulated risk can invoke an alief of danger in subjects using a virtual environment. Alief is a concept useful in virtual training that describes situations where the person experiencing a simulated scenario knows it is not real, but suspends disbelief (willingly or unwillingly).
In many cases, Bloom notes, it is actually aliefs that are involved, not full-blown beliefs. 'Alief' is a term coined by Bloom's colleague Tamar Gendler to refer to more primitive versions of beliefs that are responsive to how things seem, not how things are.
Having the half belief (or what the philosopher Tamar Gendler calls an alief) that an image or decoy is literally what it represents is one thing, but how might one jump from that confusion, which is usually cleared up, to conceiving the abstract law that influence can be transmitted between the representation and it referent — the law of similarity?
In response, they pop out of the fiction and refuse to imagine as the movie invites them because, ex hypothesi, their nonconscious alief that white human beings are superior leads them to react automatically and in affect-laden ways to the contrary story and implicit appraisals that Rodriguez and his fellow artists present.

examples: In my own headcanon of Rocky IV, Ivan Drago is a Russian Mafia enforcer instead of a Red Army Captain.
Technically, the social context of Borogravia is such that the actual external difference between a trans man and a woman disguised as a man is practically indiscernible – the technology level means they’re indistinguishable by the bodily modification standard (although now that I think about it, there's no reason Igors couldn't perform sex changes, and that's going in my headcanon now), and there does not appear to be a space in the language for self-identification.
That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that they just fill in the missing information with whatever headcanon (one's personal belief of what is true to the universe) they want instead of actually trying to find out more about the character.
Don't forget if they can write pages and pages and pages of “headcanon” information for an already developed character, probably changing his or her already set personality or even expanding upon it.

He's seen those fatbergs on the training videos; huge accumulated walls of solidified grease and food and tissue and excrement, the churned result of everyday debris tipped down the domestic sinks and bathtubs and toilets of London.
Then I worked in the sewers of Manchester – a six month stint of that, jabbing pressure-water-poles at fatbergs, tonnes of used kebab grease and congealed sump oil, woven together with thousands of used wet wipes.
A 250-metre long fatberg weighing 130 tonnes which was blocking an east London sewer has been cleared after a nine-week "battle". The solid mass of congealed fat, wet wipes, nappies, oil and condoms was found in the Victorian-era tunnel in Whitechapel in September. Thames Water said it had taken longer to clear than expected because of the damage it caused to the sewer.
Thames Water has become the latest object lesson in the predictable and predicted folly of privatised monopolies, aided by a regulator that’s an even bigger wet wipe than the fatbergs bunging up the sewers.

gloss: Of or relating to a form of satire, usually in prose, which has a length and structure similar to a novel and is characterized by attacking mental attitudes instead of specific individuals.
pos: adj
examples: Without a doubt, the most unusual, the most conspicuous, and the most Menippean feature of the curious verbal landscape of Finnegans Wake is the ten 'thunderclaps.'
The most Menippean of these were written by John Harington of Kelston, who was first banished from court for his 1596 Metamorphosis of Ajax (a satire against the Earl of Leicester and a pun on 'a jakes,' the first flushing toilet in Britain, of Harington's own design), followed by An anatomie of the metamorphosed Ajax, and Ulysses upon Ajax.
Salman Rushdie's new work of 2017, his novel The Golden House, is not just a Menippean satire; it is a novel about Menippean satire.
However plausible such arguments, I should like respectfully to disagree. My position is closer to that of Dustin Griffin in his recent book—that the ludic is inherent in satire, especially the more menippean kind.

It also appears that the controllers running the centrifuges were air gapped and not directly connected to the Internet.
At least twice, [Dario] Amodei also used an air-gapped computer to write critical strategy documents, connecting the machine directly to a printer to circulate only physical copies. He was paranoid about state actors stealing OpenAI’s secrets and building their own powerful AI models for malicious purposes.
