  • Googled it and:

    Gut microbiota: PAs can improve the diversity of gut microbes, and can increase the abundance of beneficial bacteria while decreasing the abundance of harmful bacteria.

    Fecal odor: PAs can reduce the level of putrefactive substances in the feces, which can reduce fecal odor.

    Fecal pH: PAs can decrease fecal pH.

    Antimicrobial activity: PAs can have an antimicrobial effect on potentially pathogenic bacteria.

    Prebiotic effect: PAs can have a prebiotic effect on beneficial bacteria.

    Looks like I'm buying some seeded grapes for science!

  • Another casualty of the auroral storm. Darn those cosmic rays!

  • People used 3.1 and 3.1.1 for years even though it was running on top of MSDOS but show me someone who used 3.0? Or 1.x, 2.x? Unheard of. Version 3 started off with some problems that needed a more or less immediate large update.

  • Venmo is owned by PayPal, but I couldn't find any information about if similar Venmo TOS changes are planned or already in effect.

  • I appreciate the warm welcome! We'll see if I can find a place with low enough rent, I assume Australia has something like the same housing crisis the US and Canada has?

    We have plenty of cookers and loonies here too, yours would find their people here. Would make a great swap imho

  • The article didn't mention it but did her proposal include anything about pay requirements for home health care aides? Generally it is a poorly paid profession and one thing I like about Biden is he always makes sure to tie things to good paying, potentiallu union jobs. Hopefully it's just further in the policy statement, if not this is a misstep from Harris and a retraction from Biden's labor friendly policies at a time when Trump/Vance are appealing to poor folks and labor people left and right (literally)

  • Polymarket has Trump ahead by 6 points. Don't shoot the messenger, I'm signing up for a passport today just in case.

  • Reporting on it just fans the flames, generates the drama he needs to stay at the forefront of the news cycle. Can Harris generate that kind of chatter with sensible talk about realistic proposals? This dispirits Dem voters, while emboldening his base who laugh behind their hand at Trump's boorish political incorrectness. Jester's Privilege. He has never suffered any consequences for anything he's said.

  • I mean if you have a usb lying around, putting ubuntu on it and trying is free. Worth a shot, you could get access to the drive too if it works. If that doesn't work you could still bring it into the shop to get worked on.

  • I know which candidate I consider more capable of causing surprise, although that means if Harris surprises us it would be doubly suprising. Hoping she takes the initiative.

  • An open proxy war with two different co-allied nuclear powers, you say?

    1. Your police are run by the local counties. I think your schools also? I know you have state and federal police also, but most places only have police and schools at those levels.

    This might be dependent on state but any place I've ever lived has had 3 kinds, state police, county "sherrifs department" police and town/city police. To hear theres a part of the US with sherrifs department police is odd to me, usually the state police would take that role in rural areas without their own police department in my experience.

  • That's one well-trained octopus!

  • The Trump campaign saw a 1.5 point boost at Polymarket after the debate, now showing Trump 50% Harris 49%.

  • After some more trying (logging in with my email rather than my mobile #) it seems like it's working now. I appreciate the encouragement, I was ready to give up!

  • In the winter growing up we had a big ol tomcat and he would get the winter blues when feet and feet of snow would fall, so we'd get a 5 gallon bucket, punch a hole at the base at one side and fill it with birdseed so it would pour out slowly and set it up against the snowbank. We dug a little cat hole in the snowbank that faced it and laid a warm blanket in there for him to sit and watch and hunt the birds and squirrels. We loved that old tomcat, I still have a painting I did of him. Mom would pick and dry flowers and put them in his bed under the layers of old clothes and he would sleep on it near the wood stove and dream of spring. Cats spend only a short time with us and we owe it to them to do anything possible to make their lives more joyous and fulfilling. Thank you, stranger, may you have many happy years with your cats.

  • Did you end up eating more pizza than you would otherwise? Also I feel like everything in my apartment would smell like pizza which would get old.

  • Cats eat birds. You are punishing your cat by getting only a bird bath and not spreading heaps of birdseed around too to attract birds and squirrels for prey. Go for it, cats will thank you. Think of their purring, their adoring eyes. Be sure to put camoflagued and comfortable ambush sites in close reach of the killing grounds. Cheers.
