That’s the gold standard for hacking, by far. But this also deserves a mention for pushing the bounds of technology, way ahead of it’s time: https://youtu.be/fQGbXmkSArs?is=Ud3PG9ymvBif7h2T

That’s interesting. Is it followers of all genders that get ahead, or women get ahead andthey are mostly following? What dance (if you don’t mind saying)?

If you’re late in the planting season you can go for winter veggies. Potatoes and carrots can be planted when it’s cold, and ready to harvest when its warm again. Kale stays green well into the snowy seasons.

Potatoes just needs a bucket or bag per potato, and soil and/or sand. Fill the bucket maybe halfway and hide the potato, then once it starts growing in the spring keep covering the all but the top part of the stem with new sand-soil until the bucket is full, then let finish growing. Water regularly once it thaws outside, but not while it’s freezing.

I think I kept it cold but protected during winter, like a shed, but maybe I just left it outside? You can keep one bucket indoors and one outdoors and see if there are different results in the end. Bring both outside once there’s sun and warmth to kickstart the growing.

When the damn eyeliner applicator decides that you’re going full goth today.

Ice packs, the ones you put in picnic bags to keep the food cold.

I sit on one or put it in my lap during the day, and put another in bed with me at night. Great between the thighs for maximum cooling. Wrap it in a pillow case or towel or something so you don’t have it directly against your skin when it’s fully frozen.

I bet that I could ride a bike (MC), and lost my ability to walk properly.

Does that count? I don’t like to gamble unless my life is somehow in the pot. Money is boring.

Edit: I see that the title literally says money… so I guess the hospital bills.

What is a banfield clinic and why should we avoid them?

I can see why you love him already!

As a new cat owner there are a lot of pitfalls (I’ve stumbled into plenty in my time). Figure out how he acts normally, and whenever he strays from that normal - go to the vet.

For example: regular advice is if cat seems more withdrawn than normal they are sick - for me cat was more affectionate than normal so didn’t realise they were sick,

Another time I was toilet training cats, and the one who got it turned out to be sick, because potty training isn’t very normal and hides changes in urine and poop schedules.

And speaking of: if you have outdoor cats, keep them inside for three days now and then to have them go in a litter box just to check that they don’t have parasites, bloody stool, pain around peeing, frequent pees etc.

If its an option, always have the insured for the vet, and better safe than sorry. Cats are experts at hiding their pain and injuries until its too late, so any change can be a symptom.

Not to bee a gloomy doomy - my current bastard is nearing 20 years old (with regular vet visits and daily medication no one guesses his actual age). They are for sure the light of your life, and I hope you have a long full life together!

maybe my body needs a warmup set on my working weight? If so, I’ll just do about half the reps of a normal working set and count it as a warmup set and see if that fixes my problem.

As a rookie, I don’t think you need to be this meticulous… But if it helps you actually get to the gym and keep the routine to have a strict schedule/progress, sure!

I personally wouldn’t do a warmup at my goal weight, neither for PR (because then you can’t push it) nor for sets (because you get fewer sets if you loose one to warmup, and I like the numbers lol), but thats just how you want to count it.

Warning up is meant to lubricate your joints and capillaries and whatnot, to avoid injuries before going into heavy weights, so I wouldn’t encourage warming up in heavy weights. Warm up the motion with multiple reps, not heavy resistance.

But if it works for you, it works for you. When you’re elite enough you’ll get a trainer and won’t have to rely on internet randos anyway. Just avoid injuries and be kind to your body until then.

If it’s possible and you’re capable to do it, then I think it’s a moral choice.

If it’s a matter of survival, health or inaccess to a variety of food, I don’t think it really is a choice one should have to make on grounds of morality.

Extend your warmup set or do two warmup sets (possibly with even lower weight).

Allow for a bit longer rest between the warmup set and the workout set.

Try both and see if either one or both makes a difference.

I understand how it went down, it sounds pretty unavoidable given the circumstances. I’m glad you went and got the bites taken care of.

And I also understand why the younger cat would react you the older cat protesting, that sounds like quite the triggering howl.

It can be a nightmare introducing old cats and new cats. I’ve given up myself and will not house any new cats until my current grump passes away, it’s not worth stressing him out over it at this point (nearing 20 years old).

I hope the pheromone helps.

If they are indoor cats, are you making sure to activate them enough? Like playing at least 15 min at least twice a day with each of them, especially the younger one? I mean getting them to chase and jump and climb and bite and finally successfully kill their pray with a snack (can be part of their feeding time). If they’re tired from playing they have less pent up energy turning to aggression.

I don’t know anything about blade runner, but since utopia is a positive dream future (as opposed to dystopia that are negative nightmare futures), I’ll take that.

It probably depends on where you’re from, but you for example couldn’t do military training or become a pilot with a diagnosis, and you needed a doctors note that you were reliably medicated for a long time to be allowed a driving learners permit. Some things have changed since then though, since this was decades ago.

Pretty crazy that they used to encourage people to stay undiagnosed and unmedicated to go into dangerous careers, rather than the other way around.

Some companies have started selling period panties made for swimming, see if you can find some and maybe she can swim comfortably going forward.

There are other ways to play with water, like running through a water spreader, water balloons, water gun fight. She can do all of these with whatever her protection of choice is currently.

You can make popsicles by putting decarbonated soda or lemonade or juice (I like mine a bit watered down) in the freezer. Mini ones with icecube trays (and tooth picks?) or larger ones in trays bought specifically for the purpose (or home invented).

Staying in shade and having a fan for cooling off also helps, but isn’t as fun. Going for a bike ride down a fairly flat and shaded park or forest trail could be more fun way to get some wind.

Only if it actually matters, or if very little time has passed, and only if I have previously demonstrated that I’ll also go back unprompted and admit to being wrong. And I’ll prefer to demonstrate good behaviour and pointing out when I’m being wrong multiple times before pointing out when others were wrong.

Others need to know I’m not going to be a dick about it and I’m just looking for truth in either direction, so they don’t feel personally attacked or defensive.

It also depends highly on the topic and my relationship with the other person.

Better safe than sorry, or as in this case: both safe and sorry!

If you were bit at all you also need to go to emergency care for a shot and taking care of the wound. Cat bites are really nasty, like losing a limb or worse. They heal quickly on the surface so it may look fine, but they go deep and push a lot of nasty bacteria that gets trapped under the surface healing.

The next time, throw a glass of water into the fight or slam some pot lids together to make a scary noise to interrupt the fight. Don’t put your hands in between them. Use a broom or some other barrier if you absolutely want to get physical with it.

And in the longer run, make sure your cats are both neutered to make them less fighty, and that they have someplace to retreat to avoid a fight (like high shelves in every room with an entry way on both ends, pull the couch and other furniture out so theres always always a differentexit from where they entered). Give them multiple high value places like beds, toys, water, food, scratching posts and litter boxes far apart from each other so they don’t need to fight over resources. Especially look these things over for spots where they get into conflict.

Good luck!

Edit: perhaps you know all this already…but better safe than sorry, lol! Maybe someone else reading doesn’t know.

I think washing your undercarriage and pits goes a long way. If you can get a handheld showerhead or bidet you can do it without even taking your too clothes off. Just a tiny bit of soap between the ass cheeks and sometimes on the hairy bits, then rinse all of it with water. With a bidet you can do it while on the toilet, otherwise pop a squat in the shower after the morning pee/poo and rinse off.

For the pits you can use a tiny towel or washcloth and soap and water, and even do it fully or partially clothed. I like wiping off the neck and underboob at the same time to feel cleaner.

With this I think a full body shower including hair washing isn’t necessary more than once or twice a week (for some even less) depending on your lifestyle, age and body composition. It’d be good to recruit a friend or family member to do a smell check occasionally (when you have access to a full shower) and ask them to be truly honest on if you need a shower or hair wash. Your body changes over the years, and your funk levels changes with it.

A bathtub might suit you if possible, or at least a shower chair.

Shorter hair means quicker showers, if that’s something you’re considering anyway - go for it. Otherwise dry shampoo (or just flour for blondes or cacao powder for darker hair) can push a shower another few days.

You could also attempt to do the opposite and shower as cold as possible, at least for a set time period (I had no hot water for 6 weeks, it was torture, but also enlightening in how i could change my shiwer habits) - just to try to break your dependency on overly hot showers. It’ll also save plenty of water because you’ll naturally turn it off when soaping to not stand in cold water unnecessarily.

If it’s not sarcasm: I feel that sentiment. With time, and intention to change my mindset, I’ve come to appreciate these little conversations. Ten years ago I’d rather fall off a cliff than talk about the weather, but now I see the value in it; even though it’s the most boring thing in the world, I enjoy the (surface level) connection.

If it’s sarcasm: Haha yeah right? (stop bullying me :( )
