I'm interested in your pillow thickness comment. Do you have any more information about that, like a study?

I used to sleep on a very thin pillow since I was a stomach sleeper. As I've aged, I end up on my side and back more, and I had to get a thicker pillow.

People said precisely that during the early part of the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Tangentially related, but are job fairs even worth it? In my limited experience, you wait in a long line for someone to tell you to apply online. I was better off getting a list of employers who were attending, and then looking through each of their websites.

Skilling got 24 years which was reduced to 14 in 2013. Lay was convicted of crimes that have a max sentence of 45 years, but died before sentencing.

Yeah it's an oversight committee in the same way that the "Committee of Public Safety" was concerned with public well-being.

You'll also run out of young people who can just take care of the elderly.

Bumblebees are super chill and cute.

My grandma was stung by a bumblebee after she ignored it bumping into her for 10 minutes. She was working in the garden next to its nest. I can't think of another organism that has that kind of patience.

So Rite Aid buys Bartell Drugs, a relatively nice local pharmacy, runs it into the ground, and then declared bankruptcy? 10/10 business plan.

How bad does her shit smell? My cat has Inflammatory Bowl Disease. When she has a flare up, her shit smells absolutely horrific, she strains a lot, and poop often ends up outside the litterbox.

The other suggestions in this thread are great. I'd add take her to the vet and explain the situation. Also see if they can express her anal glands. My cat also had massively clogged anal glands which didn't help anything.

Good luck.

I can't believe how strong my 8 lb cat is. It took both me and my wife to hold her when the vet was examining her. It doesn't help that cats are slippery and have noodle bones.

Don't give them the pleasure. Kick them out.

I can't speak for KDE, but I run Linux Mint Cinnamon with a 1440p 144Hz monitor and a 1080p 60 Hz monitor. Everything worked except that the refresh rate for all my monitors was capped at the lowest rate either monitor could handle, which was 60Hz. I just went without the 2nd 1080 monitor so I could get 144Hz all the time.

I think you mean "Uniqueleigh"

Yeah, on TV it's typically between the short segments with the dudes walking around and then running into each other.

In person it's usually when the marching band shows up and some jets fly overhead.

Still not as bad as amateur statistics and beer baseball.

When I had a MacBook Pro with the 1st generation Magsafe, I went through 2 legit Apple chargers and 3 off brand ones in the 9 years I had the laptop. One of the off brand chargers even exploded! Well, a capacitor inside it exploded, but it was designed well enough that it didn't damage anything else or catch fire.

I've only ever had that one laptop, and I was using it in college so I was constantly plugging and unplugging it, so I have no idea how abnormal that cable use is.

Magsafe is super cool, and it definitely saved my computer from certain death several times, but damn it sucked buying those expensive chargers. It would've been nice just to buy the cable, not the whole damn charger.

You and me both.

I had to look it up. A scutum is a type of Roman shield.

so people overseas will also get shot in the foot face.

I fixed it for ya.

There are tons of super right wing young people. I mean all the alt right "personalities" are probably under 40. Lots of my coworkers, for example, are at best die-hard Republicans, and most of them are under 35.

They're in no danger of dying out. And even if they actually are, we should rely on that to reduce the influence of the Republican party.
