<awang> VS-16?
<SilverFox> why is it so hard for apple to unicode properly?
<UmbralRaptor> Well, on iOS. Not sure about OSX. Android and regular Linux correctly ignored it.
<SilverFox> just shitty programming or what?
<UmbralRaptor> awang: visual selector 16. Put it after a glyph to specify emoji presentation.
<awang> SilverFox: Unicode is hard, from what I've heard
<awang> UmbralRaptor: First I've heard of it
<awang> lol
<UmbralRaptor> Contrast with VS-15,which you use to give a "plain text" presentation for something that defaults to emoji.
<awang> "VS-16" in Google gives me Virgin Atlantic VS 16, the flight

<SnoopJeDi> my mistake!
<whitequark> lol
<whitequark> yes it is
<APlayer> So how is котя doing?
<SnoopJeDi> whitequark, so you're a fan of animal psychology, here's a fairly useless anecdotal fact: rats apparently *love* peeing on rocks
<whitequark> that sounds about right
<whitequark> given that they're territorial and mark with urine
<SnoopJeDi> to the extent that it's something of a magic trick to litterbox train them
<whitequark> yeah they normally just pee wherever
<SnoopJeDi> context: I have rats now: https://i.imgur.com/Hdj7YuQ.jpg
<SnoopJeDi> they pee in apparently randomly decided corners atm, but I'm hoping to jedi mind trick them to make bedding management a little more convenient
<SnoopJeDi> it does seem fairly specific to rocks and smooth ones in particular, but I couldn't dredge up much more than a bunch of fora posts attesting to it
