That’s caused by intentionally breeding cartilage deficiency genes that cause arthritis and joint pain as the gene effects more cartilage than just in the ears.
Selective breeding for variants like stunted legs will also cause a whole bunch of joint pain and arthritis. Especially with legs, which are taking the entire force of a regularly leaping creature on a small surface area, unlike other body parts which have the full impact cushioned by the lower body muscles and joints.
Skeletons just aren't made to be fucked with by anything except evolution and maybe a skilled surgeon. Even then there are no guarantees it's a good mutation or a good surgery.
Are humans performing labor allowed to ask a question? Yes. Especially when they are performing dangerous work, which it legitimately is where I am. I have no desire to fuck with low earning people in dangerous jobs, so I wait outside for them when I see they're pretty close on the GPS.
When I had covid I put "have covid, knock and leave at apartment door" as the delivery note. It worked pretty flawlessly. My normal delivery message is "will meet you out front, do not call unless necessary", which works about 90% of the time.
The delivery people who actually piss me off are the ones who call/text "I've arrived" when I'm waiting outside and I can see they're still 3 blocks away on the GPS. Don't lie to me, even though i understand you're trying to reduce your wait time, and some people make them wait for 15+ mins.
The other ones who piss me off are the ones who take a 30min detour with my food because they're juggling apps and two different services have told them to go in opposite directions. Special shout out to the dude who literally rode past me while I was waiting for him outside, so that he could pick up an order for a different app instead of giving me my order. Thanks for chilling half my hot food too with what I assume was a cold drinks order, asshole.
I think this one is a regular cat who is still crouched down from sniffing its stylish accessory. It just looks like it's a fully standing Munchkin because of the perspective, diffuse lighting and floof ruffles on the shoulderblades that are very slightly out of frame. The curve top right looks like it might be its left hip.
Also wishful thinking. I hope the lizard went on to lead a long and fulfilling life too, for what it's worth.
A lot of accounts are interacting (voting, posting, etc.) on lemmy-visible activitypub services within a 6 month timespan, but most accounts are not active users interacting every month.
It's actually a very positive graph. Many of the new accounts would be spammers, bots, throwaway accounts, alts of banned users, users making account on multiple instances because of downtime, etc. So it's normal to see growth over longer spans of time that aren't completely reflected in monthly active user statistics.
The current plateau is probably for the best, it gives developers time to catch up somewhat with the last growth spurt. There will be other social media platform clusterfucks in the future that will kick off future growth spurts.
I love how completely cool and casual the cat is about the entire situation. Like it's just up to date with the latest lizard-tongue-piercing trend, and it's a little thing called fashion, you wouldn't understand.
Huh, I've never experienced that. And I take a lot of pills. They might have really bad binders or compression at the factory where they're making yours? But that does sound very irritating, I'm annoyed enough when I cut pills in half and it breaks into not-halves.
I have, however, cut myself on the foil a few times. And that stuff is sharp. Not sharp enough to get through the shitty seal in my first pic, but enough to really slice fingers if you're not looking.
I would be fine with mediocre or even shitty adhesive properties here. It's protected and pressure is maintained using a solid HDPE capped jar with perforations, which is already a tamper-evident seal. I don't need a padlock on it either. Or even a disability-proof cap (the manufacturers prefer the name "child-proof" though). And there are multiple adhesives which don't impart odor or flavor. Even superglue wouldn't do it, given you need less than a tiny smear. What an odd false dichotomy you have given me.
I've got a couple of things that I buy which have the best ziploc seals I've ever seen, and I wish I could reuse the bags for other things, except they're opaque and printed. But I have definitely met my fair share of terrible ziplocs too. Nothing like spending 10mins struggling with a shitty ziploc seal when you were just trying to put some food in the freezer.
It looks like Goo Gone has some in it, but it's mostly petroleum based. D-limonene is a nifty (refined) by-product of citrus agriculture, it's essentially just the oil from the peels. I use a product that's basically half D-Limonene, half anionic and non-ionic surfactants (which is somewhat the equivalent of shampoo and sugar alcohol).
I'm not who you were replying to, but I just want to wish you the absolute best of luck in your health battle. Empathy is in short supply at the best of times, but showing empathy when you're in the middle of something so hard is next level. I bet you also make an excellent pizza, even if that's not where you expected to be working.
I'll have my fingers crossed for you, friend. Fuck cancer and everything that it entails.
I hear you. I definitely recommend picking up a tiny bottle of it, a little goes a long way! I'm still using the same 6oz bottle I bought maybe 7 years ago!
You need d-limonene (orange peel extract) for adhesive removals. It works wonders by comparison to the things you tried, but even then I can still spend a good 10 mins on the same problem!
This was a supplement I was opening on my way to the bathroom, where I keep my medication. Long covid memories makes ms forget everything to open first. Long covid memory problems also make me fail to double check my posts every time for bad autocorrect.
The seal looked to be perfectly vacuumed when I opened it, and the lid wasn't a tight one, so I suspect you're right. But someone else in the thread indicated that this may also be a "feature"? I'm not sure if it's a post hoc rationalisation of shit supply purchase choice or a deliberate design decision or a manufacturing error, but it doesn't matter. I hate it all the same.
Also, thanks for providing me with a proper specific name for these things, and the gift of your experience in all things sealed.
