Different companies may not ship to where you live so my suggestion is to search for molded or moldable earbuds.
You can get some high quality ones if you have cash to burn, and some that will be okay and stay in place for a lower budget.
What is a banfield clinic and why should we avoid them?


[I’m not the one who originally commented]
I wouldn’t know the difference.
All I can know and judge on and care about is how they choose to respond, not how they feel.
And I personally trust people who tell me of their ugly emotions (after we’ve been friends for a long time) more than the ones pretending to be perfect a decade into the friendship.


People are capable of incredibly complex emotions, such as feeling both unhappy bitterness of their own lives in comparison, while feeling and displaying joyous celebrations of their friends success.
One can have both positive and negative experiences of the same event. There’s no use in trying to narrow down to either one.
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For example: regular advice is if cat seems more withdrawn than normal they are sick - for me cat was more affectionate than normal so didn’t realise they were sick,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!


I don’t know, I struggle to find a single use.
Maybe to make a quick funny thing with seven fingers to send to your friends…? But even then the downside is that these images get sort of normalised and I personally wouldn’t do it. At least not now that the novelty is way over and there are fewer funny obvious errors.
As a person who can’t draw a circle to save my life, for RPG-characters I thought I’d find use for it, but I actually prefer doing a horrible childish two-colour-crayon-sketch at the table rather than bring in a portfolio of images made artificially. My horrible sketches will become part of the lore we kaugh about.
I know that at work when we had out summer greetings sent out from the CEO, anything anyone talked about was how it was so clearly written with AI and it for sure didn’t inspire confidence or pride in the work place as it was meant to do. The same with some project image very clearly AI generated, which led to the whole project being less reputable in the organisation at a ground level and having fewer qualified people conscript to it willingly.
And any project where the creator or images are generated, I’ll trust far less than ones lacking images altogether.
I’m sorry if I couldn’t answer your question properly.
Edit: I may have to go back to gboard - at least it could spell for me…


Being jealous is just an emotion, its nothing to feel bad about. How you act on that emotion however, is how I’ll receive you.


Personally, if I’m paid to work I don’t mind doing other type of jobs, as long as the job I’m hired to do takes precedence. So if I am done with my assignments and they’re still paying me for the time spent at work, I’ll work at whatever needs doing.
Where I feel this doesn’t work in your case is doing jobs you’re not qualified to do. You’re not trained and qualified to talk to patients about their troubles, or to train nursing staff on how to apply electrodes, and probably not to bring patients to the bathroom. All things that would be your responsibility if you were to do it wrong, as those are not under the qualifications for your position.
I would put my foot down on those, and go fetch a different/senior nurse (as fetching people IS your job) when that’s needed.
And that is the conversation I’d have with my manager - not that I don’t want to work while they are still paying, but what types of assignments I’m expected and allowed and qualified to do, and which to refer to someone else to not put yourself and the hospital at risk for liability. And to have that in writing.


You can select a license with attribution attached, but put in your project info that you have no plans to ever enforce the rules of attribution but will strictly enforce the rules of open availability and free of charge.
No one will enforce rules for you that you as project owner/creator does not care about.


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, but if you put some more effort into remembering people’s names you don’t have to get into these situations in the first place. I say this as someone who’s terrible at remembering names, but I have gotten better at it, and so can you.
Also, most times it’s fine to just say “a coworker” without specifying who it is unless people ask.


Of course mistakes happen, but I think it’s pretty rare so you do notice when it happens.
Have you seen live translations? It’s really cool how they keep up. Maybe nowadays it’s done with an LLM, but at least back in the day subtitles could be written live if they didn’t have an interpreter for the hearing impaired. My guess is it was made with some shorthand-keyboard.
Translators can either go strictly translating the sentences, or change them quite a bit to make a joke, double entendre or clue still work in the context of the movie. The latter can feel jarring if you know both languages but I think are actually the better made translation, because they take the whole piece into consideration and not just the words.
Something I find rather funny is when they translate a title from english to english. For example Miss Congeniality is translated to Miss Undercover, Miss Detective, Miss Agent and Miss Secret Agent in different countries.


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 find it draining but rewarding.
I love interacting with people, it fills me with joy making someone else smile or laugh, or helping them feel supported and accepted when times are tough, or lifting them up so they feel clever or helpful or kind. But I also require a lot of solo time to recharge.
I have made several friends in life who I can be in silence with - that really helps me not feel as drained. Being in nature or exerting myself while interacting also makes it less draining (hiking or working out), probably because I can focus more on my own body and experience and less on the social contract and thus be my natural self more.
My colleagues are very understanding of my need to recharge, so we can have a lot of fun together but I can also let them know that I’m socially burnt out and need to work from home or alone with my tunes.
Sometimes burnout takes a long time to recharge, and then i need to force myself with baby steps to get back into socialising, but it is always worth it in the long run.


Sunhat (wide brim that goes all the way around) with mosquito net atop it so the brim keeps the net away from the skin.
A bit of hair in a flat bun under it, so theres a cm of distance between scalp and hat to avoid getting bit through the top. Or find a hat with bite-proof material (fishing, hiking and hunting stores most likely). Remaining hair in a low braid to keep the net from your neck even when bending over, and getting the hair out of the way.
There are electric mosquito repellants I’ve been considering as a way to keep them away without putting anything on me, especially when as stationary as when weeding or with multiple people in a small area.
After gardening, you can rinse your hair out with just water, to remove dirt and sweat. It’ll get rid of debris without affecting your washing schedule.


What do you mean by pro-self preservation?


Both, for sure.
I like it here because my home feed actually ends, there are no ads and no suggested content, and no influencers getting paid to make others feel bad.
But I would like obligatory AI markings on all type of content that’s been generated on every kind of platform. Would make my youtube watchlist more comfortable to expand (even if it takes only 30 seconds to identify an AI video, it’ll still ruin your algorithm for the foreseeable future with only AI bullshit unless you also go and remove it from your watch history).
I’m very happy not being on other social media in general, so I wouldn’t go back to the big ones even if they scrubbed every scent of AI off the whole site - but do it for yourself if it’s something you want to have!
What were the consequences after meeting hr?
