My brain knows this is an allophonic glottal stop where the 't' is on an unstressed syllable (vs in 'data' where it is a stressed syllable preceding an unstressed syllable).

Poor kitty trying to keep cool with my water bottle and my limbs.

She has a cold compass but I'm just irresistible.

In my day, you needed a 3COM 10Base-T express card in your ThinkPad and a dongle to plug in your network cable so you could load up Napster and check out that cool new Neopets thing.
