I would Google some vet recommendations.

I tried to find the video again but I couldn’t. But I recently saw an Instagram video of someone asking a vet what they recommended as a safe method of transporting a pet on a bike. If I remember correctly - which I might not - the vet was strongly against something on the handlebars that the pet could be flung out of in a crash. I think they suggested a pet-carrier backpack style method instead.

There are already some super valuable comments on here, and I’m half commenting as a way to save this thread for myself for later.

I wanted to say that for adopting a kitten, the current recommendation is to adopt two kittens to avoid “single kitten syndrome” (aka an unruly/loud/needy cat.)

Which was not something I knew of ~12 years ago when I got my single cat as a kitten. And she is very needy and very loud (less annoying in older age but still.)

However, I haven’t adopted a second cat to be her friend because we also now have a high energy dog and another new animal would just be too much for us.

When it’s time for our next cat, my plan is to go to the shelter and sit down in the cat room and take home whoever curls up in my lap first (current kitty prefers “proximity snuggles” to true snuggling.) So probably adopting an older cat rather than a kitten. And probably also sticking with just one unless the shelter says the kitty has bonded with a friend (and adopting a bonded pair would be amazing.)

But if we ever get kittens again, I’ll definitely get two. Better off letting them terrorize each other in the middle of the night rather than me 😁

Not like this though

I’m sorry, are we not going to talk about Williad Shadespesre?

I’m so glad I opened the comments 🤣

I once read a book without punctuation. It was very difficult to read! It was about a hypothetical apocalypse where everyone suddenly goes blind.

“Blindness” by José Saramago

I don’t specifically recommend it though.

Good luck writing your book 🙂

Ahh thank you

You are correct, I actively do not get it.

Cool! I hadn’t heard that term (chords) before today. Do you have to press both buttons at precisely the same time or is it more forgiving, like CTRL+C, etc?

I type too many numbers every day to give up my num pad, so I’ve never bothered to research tiny keebs since 98-100% works well for me.

But aesthetically I do really like the small footprint on your desk!

I work in QA so my desk is always cluttered with hardware. I already have a separate numpad at work (after going TKL and regretting it lol) so I’ve been considering going much smaller for my next build. I still don’t think I could give up a stand-alone backspace key though 😁

How do you survive without backspace?

I saw the /s, but to come to my own defense regardless: when I first saw the post it was at 196 points and I was like “mmm okay better not” but then I opened the comments and the points had increased to 198 and I was like “oh hell yeah lfg”

What

A krill could not do this, sir!

“Don’t tell me what to do”

• me upvoting the post beyond the value of 196 because I like it and I want to give it points too

Happy to share! I love all her posts. Honestly she could post every single one to 196 and it would fit here

If anyone wants more, source is teabag.cartoon

Way less drama and way more transparency than the current state of 196 on the blahaj.zone instance.

Zoidsberg you’re still a good mod in my books and I’m not leaving the community over this. I’ll sub to the new community too but it sounds like the comments on this thread are in agreement to stay here.

Thanks for the status update and best of luck with your partner’s health.

I don’t have the bandwidth to pick up mod work myself but hopefully you can find another volunteer who can help share the load on days where Lemmy is taking a backseat for you. All my respect to anyone willing to moderate, we couldn’t do this without y’all.

Yeah in this age of misinformation I think it’s really important to not just share the truth, but also avoid saying something that could be interpreted in an anti-science way. No the commenter doesn’t explicitly say “never use soap” but, as written, that’s what’s implied.

All the people who poses reading comprehension skills in this thread

Lol yep tell me more about your reading comprehension skills

Jesus Christ the uninformed comments in this thread. Are you seriously saying soap is bad?

You do understand the benefit of removing viruses from your hands, right?

Washing with soap and water is one of the key public health practices that can significantly slow the rate of a pandemic and limit the number of infections, preventing a disastrous overburdening of hospitals and clinics. Source

I can only hope you were only trying to reference scalp care rather than the benefits of soap as a whole.

But either way you’re wrong.
