Q. What is the difference between a Stoat and a Weasel?
A. They look stoatally different from each other so are weaselly distinguished.
Sorry - not original. I first heard it before England won the World Cup (never mind the local derby that is in progress).

Welcome to the club.
I have 4 cats (2 males, 2 females) and 2 dogs. All cats come and go from the house as they please.
both my male cats kill on a regular basis: squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, gophers, rats, mice, birds, snakes. They bring body parts into the kitchen, and lay them on the floor as gifts for my family.
my female cats rarely go outside and hunt.
it is what it is.

We had a Scottish Terrier that used to catch and kill mice then proudly bring them to show us. No stoats here but I bet some of the Norwegian wharf rats are big as stoats.
We'll be getting another Scottish Terrier as soon as we get over the loss of our long time pet a "Westie".
Terrier lovers, Unite!

I'm sorry to hear that - they leave such a big hole in a home, don't they?

used to have a problem with ground squirrels around my house. Son got an Aussie Cattle dog a few years ago. Haven't seen a ground squirrel or rabbit or pretty much anything that goes about on the ground for the last few years. Thankfully he does not bring them in as gifts. Herself would probably have histrionics if that happened.

Please ship cat to me - moles are tunnelling my yard. Moles must die.

Oh, he catches those - normally alive - and brings 'em in. I try to get them separated and release them a good distance away but that doesn't always work ...
They do however make weird noises, moles. A bit like a very angry kettle with a whistle built in.
But shipping cats doesn't really work: I think Schrödinger put the whole species off the idea.

In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

My truetype rendering engine is sort of working.
Dumping to console as ASCII for now for testing

Can you generate a jsc42 for my signature block please? I assume that your testing with '42' is the same as why my sig ends with '42'. The ultimate answer?

Yes 42 comes from Douglas Adams.
I said works "sort of" because of this - I need to actually alpha blend the BMPs for each letter because they're overlapping and wiping each other out with certain letters. Watch:

It's going to take me a bit. I've got a lot to do before I tackle that rendering issue. I have to retool the loading code to work in a constrained memory environment, and since it changes the footprint of it, I have to then change the rendering code to work with it, after which I can fix the rendering issues. It might be a week or even two. This code is hairy.

Not just rendering but kerning the letters as well?

I actually seem to be kerning properly. That's what's causing the bitmap overlap problem.
