Trying to prep a bunch of long-retired computers for a big e-waste pickup and found a computer that predates my time at the company, went to pull the HDD for separate storage or disposal and found a lovely copper heatsink. Might need to clean it up and use it as a steampunk paperweight.

![A grey, white and tan tabby cat sitting upright, on the keyboard of a laptop, his tail is curled around his forepaws, his face is turned toward the camera.

This cat, I swear..
Every time I use this basket, after I empty out the clothes, Twig will hop in and demand a ride. So I have to carry him around the house until my arms get tired. #CatsOfMastodon
