It’s a frequent thing here. I’ve lost count of how many. CC was one of the ones that didn’t want to tame. But after a year he is finally tame.

A cat. A member of the band Poison. A unit of volume measurement in the metric system.

But in this case it’s a cat.

Is a fake honey pot just a real server?

I am from the internet. I’m here to help.

Let’s not reinforce the idea that IQ tests prove anything. Even if it’s to pown Trump

I had it checked last year. Regular size with my regular murmur.

More power to you. We have a number of cats that aren’t “ours.” Ones that we decided couldn’t be released back where they came from for health or other issues.

I recently got a message from the local rescue saying something to the effect of “here is every cat we know about that lives with you but isn’t yours. If any of them need anything like flea meds, vaccines or something else just let us know. And if the list isn’t complete let us know that too.”

Between that and the hundred pounds of cat food they recently gave us it really relieved a lot of stress.

For TNR situations I would look at the existing wounds and see if they are on the road to recovery. You dewormed which is great. I always want to minimize the amount of time they are away from their home area. If they are healing (not necessarily healed), eating, have healthy dedication and urine then I would get them fixed ASAP, hold for 24 hours to make sure everything is going okay, and release them.

That’s for boys. I might keep girls for up to a week longer because the fixing is a bit more traumatic.

But when in doubt ask a vet. Fortunately I’m not paying out of pocket for any of that other than gas money. Our local shelter or SPCA handles the expenses. Have you reached out to them or local rescues to see what they can do?

I found one of his books when I was working at a library back in the late 20th century. It was amazing. And with absolutely zero formal training I could easily spot that some of it was complete BS. But there was enough truth in what was there to still keep it amazing.

If you are familiar with Tim Minchin’s song Confessions you are aware of his work because parts of it are straight from Desmond’s books.

If you pay. It used to be free from your ISP. And it was one of the busiest places at that time.

Life was easier on Usenet.

Article doesn’t mention Usenet or NNTP even once. Saved you a click.

Are we talking like a 2005 Ford ranger or a 2024? F350? Because there is no standard size for a pickup truck.

But D isn’t a vitamin. It’s a hormone.

“In theory, this is a safe default, but it is not very convenient,”

That’s the eternal trade-off isn’t it?

Black walnut is definitely harder to work with. But it makes a good weed killer.

The pecans and garlic are from my yard. It’s a forage meal without having to hunt things down.

Came here to mention the dead nettles too. They make a decent pesto.
