Even so rounding up a bunch of cats still seems like the most high effort way to get meat compared to literally any other animal. Even just talking about wrangling strays, dogs seem like a better choice because then you at least get a bit more meat. Cats just don't seem like they would have enough usable meat to even be worth the effort of butchering them. Unless these are some especially chunky feral cats, all the ones I've seen are basically just fur and bone.

To each their own but I'd still rather have numb limbs and frozen snot than be stuck in the heat. I live in minnesota so I'm more than used to snapping off snotcicles at -20F while shoveling the driveway. At least when it's cold you can still move your body without it making things worse. When it's opressively hot all you can do is sit there sweating and feeling miserable. Any activity just winds up making matters worse. There's nothing you can do except suffer. It's the temperature equivalent of having congested sinuses.

Of course like you said, you have heat retention issues. Meanwhile my body runs like a damn furnace. I just wish it also burned calories like one.

Actually yes. People with severe burns over a large part of their body wind up with massive issues as far as keeping their body temp up. But if you're burned that bad then you usually have much bigger things to worry about anyways. However your epidermis is mostly dead tissue so to have any real effect you need to go a little deeper and remove the dermis too. So if you skin yourself it can help keep your body temp down.

I'm just wondering how you get enough meat off a cat that it's worthwhile. Most livestock are herbivores because herbivores are larger and much easier to feed. Cats are obligate carnivores, even if you're feeding them scrap meat you're going to wind up with them eating far more meat than they produce and I can't imagine that they produce much usable meat. It just seems like it would be easier and cheaper to just raise actual pigs than to try and get the same amount of meat off of a bunch of cats.

Yeah no. I'll take cold over heat any day. At least when it's cold I can just add a few layers or do something to mitigate it. When it's hot theres only so many layers I can take off without becomming a sex offender.

Oil based lube.

As long as you don't jump all the way to mathematics. Then we have a problem.

Great. So now the processs of legalizing psylocybin has probably been set back years all because some asshole decided that the best way to try it out for the first time would be to take enough to trip balls when he was going to be in the cockpit of a passenger plane. This is no different than if he had been drunk but it's still going to be used as ammunition to keep psylocybin clasified as a schedule 1 drug.

It's actually from an XKCD what if (the light speed baseball pitch one I think). I believe the exact phrase was "You wouldn't die of anything in particular. You would just suddenly stop being biology and start being physics." I liked it so I stole it. I also like my modified version "They ascended from biology to a more pure science."

Not sure what you're talking about. Hot and cold water definitely use different pipes. I'm not even sure how that would work with one pipe unless you were mixing right at the water heater or something.

Having worked in IT I can tell you that often asking for specifics (even simple ones like what you said) will just get you a reply of "I don't know it's just broken. Fix it." If you even get a response at all. Asking for a screenshot (or a picture in this case) is an action that you are requiring the user to take and is much more likely to at least get a response even if the response isn't always helpful.

If the landlord had just asked for clarification I wouldn't be surprised if they just got a response of "It just doesn't work." Which is far less helpful than even that picture.

They went straight from biology to physics without any time to feel the in between. There are far worse ways to go.

Oh my god. A butt plug that contains something that breaks down the fart smell. From what I can tell the stink component of farts (hydrogen sulfide) can react with a carbon catalyst and oxygen to produce elemental sulphur and water. So you just need a butt plug with an activated charcoal filter plus something to bind the sulphur to eliminate the smell. Even better, because your fart is passing through the chambers of the butt plug there will be no noise. So every fart will be silent and stinkless.

Same here. I was looking at renting and the cheapest apartment I could find was the same cost as a mortgage on a house. So I just bought a shitty house that I still can't afford but I guess I'm at least building equity so that's nice.

Alternatively just build it dirt cheap and expect to rebuild every year. Disposable housing, the real american way.

We currently are... with oil subsidies.

I would also even say that a show/movie subscription makes sense. Except all of the services have already preenshittified themselves to the point where it's literally more convient to just pirate everything.

So far spotify hasn't done that so I'll continue happily paying for spotify even though I'm a filthy pirate. Hell, spotify could double in price and I would still be perfectly happy with the service I'm getting.

Will that also block all users from that instance? I was under the impression that it just blocked posts from that instance showing up in your feed.

Did we really need yet another reddit mirroring bot?

If that's what it is the the way they're doing it is beyond obnoxious because I can't just block the whole thing. If I wanted reddit comments then I would be using reddit.

In murican, at least in my area, pesticide is used exclusively to refer to something that kills animals like an insectiside or vermin poison. We would just use herbicide when talking about a weed killer.
