I’d say unless you have a habit of inspecting your cat’s mouth every other day, the most important and obvious sign is the cat not eating. A lot of people handwave it away as the cat being picky (which to be fair a lot of cats are), but if the cat simply refuses to eat for days on end, or doesn’t eat as…

I very strongly advise you, and anyone thinking “well, okay, JKR is a bit dicey but she’s not that bad” to watch this:

Yes, if it was GMail only I wouldn’t really care (I just remove emails with large attachments), but being in Google’s ecosystem means your storage space is filling up from all sorts of place. Currently I’m managing, but I’m already preparing to just get the cheapest plan and that should last me for a very long time.

Yes, use plastic wrap! Don’t waste time and effort getting leakproof travel bottles that you can reuse, or putting all your potential leakables into a secure, reuseable, easily washable stash that will protect the rest of your stuff should anything happen - use plastic wrap instead! You can just throw it away when…

I think it’s just a case of similar names:

The issue, aside of her raging transphobia, is that she’s basically in bed with fascists and people who want to force women back in the kitchen, and want to take LGBTQ+ rights away:

Fruits peels - yes, they’re reusable, but you know what’s even more wonderous? That most of them are edible. Seriously, why on earth wouldn’t you eat apple peels? Unless you have some sort of a medical condition where it’s not advised, apple peels are perfectly edible and taste just as good as the actual apple, why…

I don’t live in the US either, I’ve been using MFP for ages and I haven’t seen a single ad - because I use Blokada on my phone. The one time I opened MFP with Blokada turned off it was unusable due to the sheer volume of in-your-face ads.

MyFitnessPal is shit, but it’s the only app I’ve found so far that is not hopelessly locked in US/UK databases, which is important for someone like me who is not in the US or the UK.

Don’t worry, you’re not exporting it. Countries are perfectly able to come up with shitty things on their own, without the US being involved.

Same here. I’m not using Twitter for the community, and I’m not really interested in any community option. I’m using it to keep up with people (mostly visual artists) whose works I’m interested in. And they don’t form a single community, they’re from all over the world.

Sure, people are leaving Facebook and Twitter, but not in droves like they keep swearing every time something happens. Same with Twitter, a lot of people are now being all “THAT’S IT, I’M LEAVING”, some of them may even sign up to Mastodon or other services, but most of them don’t actually leave Twitter because let’s…

Yeah, honestly, I think people are overreacting. Elon Musk is running his mouth as he tends to, but at the end of the day that’s just what he’s going to do. Eventually he’ll have to realize that, like the hyperloop or self-driving cars, some things that may sound awesome (for him, anyway) won’t really work as intended…

When I was a kid I used to bark at the neighbor’s dog, who never seemed to believe that it was me making the sounds (I have a really good and convincing bark). He would always start running around looking for the other dog.

Supposedly it’s rubbing it in your skin that does everything from stimulating hair growth to getting rid of cellulitis and achieving smoothness...

Clean your kitchen - sure, whatever, just be aware that coffee grounds don’t magically dissolve in water, they tend to accumulate in pipes, combining with all the other muck you pour down the sink...

Because this is Japan and as you will see if you dig into this story, nobody gave a shit for the longest of time. Even now I’d bet money that he only resigned (note: no authorities told him to resign) because there was an outrage on social media and I guess someone higher-up told him to get out before he damages the…

A reasonable person would expect that a website doesn’t publish articles about how any side-effects you may experience after consuming MSG is just in your head:

No reasonable person would expect everything contain warning that something could be bad for a small number of people.

In my neck of the woods stores that deal with consumer electonics are required by law to take in and handle discarded electric appliances. Maybe you have something similar?
