I went crabbing and the resources I found said that killing them before cooking them was likely more humane than boiling them alive, so that’s what I did.
My old neighbor’s cat once left a paralyzed/twitching rat outside my door, which I found in the morning. I quickly realized that the rat was not going to recover (it had already been there for hours), so I had to figure out a way to quickly end its suffering. I did not eat the rat though.
Username checks out!
I also frequently enjoy more alcohol than recommended, so it’s good to know that my “expensive urine” may be serving more purposes than intended. Lol.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but the supplements I take are primarily intended to improve the quality of my life, not quantity. For example, I take a B multivitamin because I find that my nails don’t break quite so easily when I do.
Awesome! There’s a PDF referenced in there too that seems to go into a lot more detail about plumage and molt (40+ pages!), which I will have to read a bit later.
I’ve been seeing mallard ducks during my daily walks and have really been enjoying learning about them. They’re seasonally monogamous, and this was an entertaining read about their mating habits: https://www.tyrantfarms.com/duck-mating/
I was actually looking this up the other day regarding ducks, and had trouble finding an actual answer. What’s the difference between a breeding male, a non breeding male, and a juvenile male? They each look different, but why? Can an individual bird/duck go through phases of each? Somebody please info dump! Links greatly appreciated too!
Imagine a primary election with 5 candidates, 2 from Party A, 2 from Party B, and 1 from Party C, and these are the results of the primary:
Where I live, those results would mean that Candidate 1 and Candidate 2 move on to the general election, while the others are eliminated. To me, it sounds like you would instead see Candidate 1, Candidate 3, and maybe Candidate 5 move on to the general election.
Any idea how things might be handled when things get crossposted? Will replies on the crossposted threads also become comments on their sites? Or only replies to the original post?
It was years ago, so my memory might not be perfect, but I had something that kinda did that. I think it was an Xposed module called GravityBox, and there was an option to limit repeat notifications. I had set a cool down period of probably 1 minute, meaning if I received multiple messages within 60 seconds, it would only notify once, but if I received another message 60+ seconds after the first, it would ding again. I’m pretty sure that the cool down period was customizable per app too. Damn, I miss that.
Oh, I definitely got the South Park reference!
I just got curious about the math anyway, then very, very angry. Another source indicated something like 300 million people with cell phones in the country, but it wasn’t clear how many of those are customers of the affected carriers.
Not even. Looking at the 2023 Q4 subscriber counts listed on Wikipedia that’s about 500 million devices, so the total fine amounts to less than 50¢ per customer.
Someone please tell me I’m calculating that terribly wrong, because I’m feeling quite angry at such a meaningless penalty.
Shit, I’d just make a spreadsheet, but then again, I love spreadsheets. Not FOSS, but you could set up a Google Forms to collect the entries in a more user friendly format.
added sugar in the form of sucrose or honey in samples of Nido, a follow-up milk formula brand intended for use for infants aged one and above,
I hate that it sounds as if I’m defending them, but the only specific mention of honey does say it was in a product targeted at children over 1 year old. I believe the recommendation I’ve heard is that honey is dangerous for children under 1 year old. But fuck, if unsweetened products are good enough for infants in wealthy countries, WTF are they doing adding it to products aimed at infants in poorer countries??
I can’t speak for all other animals, but I imagine it’s often for similar reasons as why they do it for cats: removing the hormones means they’re much less likely to display unwanted behaviors such as marking/spraying, territorial aggression (fighting) towards other cats, and roaming. Those behaviors all stem from the desire to mate, and if they don’t have testosterone from the testicles, they don’t experience the desire to mate. Unless you don’t mind the smell of concentrated cat urine everywhere, adult male cats with testicles don’t make very great house pets.
With female cats, they completely remove the ovaries (rather than doing a tubal ligation) for similar reasons. If they did a tubal ligation instead, the cat would still go into heat, meaning lots of yowling and trying to escape, and an increased risk of marking/spraying, just no longer able to get pregnant. In my region, they also usually remove the uterus, but it appears that varies globally.
I hate it because income feels like a number that the studios really care about, but what about number of tickets sold? A movie released this year has a huge head start on box office income when compared to a movie from 20 years ago, since ticket prices have easily doubled. Plus, theatres often have different prices for students, children, seniors, matinees, and even IMAX/3D. So wouldn’t it be more apples to apples over time to compare number of tickets sold, rather than total income?

Do you know if there’s a way to do this other than DND? I just set up a profile that’s scheduled to be active 24/7 where only people in my contacts can call, but my problem is that it puts the DND icon in my status bar, so I lose the visual indicator when my phone is in a more restrictive DND profile, which I do use sometimes and also occasionally accidentally trigger.
I’m in the US, and this has been my technique too. I’ve found that listing things for free gets me people with a million questions and complications, but if I list something at a cheap price, the whole process is usually much smoother.
So then, if a woman is exclusively attracted to men who eat pussy, does that also make her a lesbian?
Quick, someone photoshop the legs to complete the third heart!
