I don't know what is concerning, me knowing how to read this, or being able to read this even when I am not from a sms generation (not that i am very youung, but where i live, sms was very expensive, so many people did not message untill we had internet based messengers)

nobody said it has to be a 16h flight, it could be a picnic or camping, at a place which is a 2-3 hours walk, or 1 hr drive

I am sorry for your experiences, but my mother would differ. I know we (my sibling) were a pain in my parents' ass, but our journeys are one of her most cherrished memories. I understand as parent it is not as stress free , you have to worry about safety and comfort of children, many times above your own, but I think that is a part of parents life, they have to bear this pain, but some parents also consider this not a pain, but cherrish this, they enjoy the cute moments.

It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.

Is that aa bad thing? coming from a introvert, but exploring the world is not a bad thing. Most things written just feel like someone too afraid of things to change. That could be a personal choice, but definitely should not be generalised. You learn different cultures, experience different worlds, get different perspectives, etc.

quoting from AVtar the las air bender (not sure if i remember verbatim, but i hope i am close)

You should learn from all nations, if you do not, your information gets old and stale Uncle Iroh

And I love Iroh, so heavily biased

I am not rich, and I do not get paid vacations, and I do not go to vacations often, but I still agree, it can help disconnect from life stresses. Money is a factor here, and we have not always been lucky in this, but sometimes, just a nearby place where you could get for cheap can be just as effective. You can choose to not to live in a expensive hotel.

Yes and no, this is not jsut radical islam, but radio-labelled radical islam, the star denotes the radio labelling, in this case, a neutron extra, the stable version has a mass of 786, with n = 478 and p = 308, n/p ratio of 1.551948051948052, which just so happens to be the highest n/p ratio of a stable element.

we can't let the noble black hole keep all ye energy, ye shall liberate it

No, It is actually the light produced that we can actually use as a energy source, the limiting thing is, before completely loosing its kinetic energy to frictional heat, stuff falls into black hole, from where we can not get anymore energy back. If black hole is stationary, then its 6%, and if its spinning (and assuming the fastest spinning theoretically possible) - 42% (spinning black holes are smaller and have smaller radius of no-return

Misinformation - the post title is not (just) K

sadly black holes go to something like 42% conversion (source: some minute physics video i think)

you broke my heart, man

they are kinda a gender neutral.

Bro is fairly commonly used as gender neutral word.

Man (as in my man) does not have an equivalent (my person does not havve the ring) - but originally, man was the gender neutral term for persons, and we user mer (as in mermaid) / were (as in werewolf) for males. that is how man was used. But that very well could also be due to bias in writing and archiving of stuff, I don not know much about this.

May I ask, Is it functionally equivalent of proprietor-ship? (share holding is with one person, but they may have employees or contractors or free lancers) or completely single person business?

this seems extremely clickblaity. At best, you could say a liquid which takes a seemingly gravity defying shape. There could be a billion ways to reach such shapes (for example surface tension of the liquid, and it having some bistable, or a metastable state that we achieve with this shaking)

I did this yesterday, and slept for 4 hours

forgotten

A cat’s claws are too long when they develop into a curved shape. In extreme cases of overgrowth, the claws can curve into your cat’s toe pads, which can be painful and cause open wounds.

That is an extreme case, and I think that is required pain here.

most of these things seem to indicate to me, the said cat is not doing play/scratch/hunt/climb enough. Many comments speak of this, but i think cats gradually and naturally wearing claws is better than discreetely done

Bold to enter the fray with no experience.

one can akways try to learn, who knows how many cats i will have in future.

That’s not even a word, but your boldness has been discussed.

ah the famous, lets fight on grammar instead of actual argument, you must be a internet veteran /s

(but seriously, dropping hyphens is somewhat accepatble now, and "at least" ~= "atleast". I don't use any spell check)

Nope. It’s like trimming your own nails vs removing part of each finger.

I have replied to others too, but no i dont think comparison to human nails is not very accurate, our nails are much thinner, and farther from bones, cat claws are more deep seated and wrapped around bones ( i also shared a link regarding this). To me, trimming nails seems more like scratching/chaffed on your digits (as in getting wounded, but not in a threatening manner).

I would request you to read my comments, the comparison to declawing was for trauma, rest of my discussion is about impacts of trimming (should it be done naturally/gradually, or discreetly trimming them) Most of the chain is about should we or should we not, not about why should we.

thank you for your services, I have huge respects.

Another thing I would like to ask you since you are experienced. Would one the reasons for you / your teams to trim nails be to prevent cats from hurting each other? since cats are terretorial, and you guys must have many of them, and likely not enough land for all of them, so they must "not get along". If so, possibly trimming in your case is much more acceptable, it is preventing othets from being harmed. But should this be also applicable to some pet adopter, who likely does not have many cats. Even most indoor cats do make "trips" (read prey) outside, and the this trimming is making them less effective. 1 part of my argument is that for not trimming.

i know i can search, i know why people trim claws, question is, shoul we or should we not

(most of the links in this chain are posted by me, and are for unrelated topics) - I was comparing trauma, and in comments I go deeper about impact of clipping on their preying skills, and then discussion go on for if indoor cats prey or not, and many links are related to that. I also had added a link for anatomy of claw vs human nail (It is basically just geometry, but there claws are more deep seated and wrap around bones)
