Computer Science major and I volunteer with a no-kill animal rescue. You can message me if you have questions on pet care. Formerly ScreamingToad

Sometimes the cat distribution system needs a little help, so why not go to a local adoption event for a reputable animal rescue nearby? Most Petco and Petsmarts will partner with a local rescue or shelter and do adoptions on saturday. You can call them and ask if they do adoptions on Saturday and who they are partnered with.

Sorry for your loss. I don't know if information helps but sometimes cats get some sinus damage if they get sick enough, especially as a kitten. I've fostered a few like that, and even helped nurse some kittens back to health that got sick enough to develop some degree of chronic congestion. They are harder to adopt out but from what I've seen they live otherwise healthy normal lives.

They didn't say a cryptocurrency, just a currency. Gaining currency by volunteering is similar to earning real currency by working but exploits the legal exception crypto does. Of course this private currency only has value in whatever exchanges would allow it and at the rate they allow it, so it's basically doomed to be a fad from the start if it ever got popular.

cant tell if this is sarcasm, but there is a report feature in the list that comes up when you click/tap the three dots under comments.

Have you in a conversation had to ask someone to repeat several times despite no distractions and obvious interest in the conversation due to your attention randomly jumping?

Issue with alot of ADHD memes and stuff is it is stuff most "normal" people struggle with time to time, and many memes are off the mark with actual ADHD. That said if you think you have it definitely look into it. The meds and therapy can be life changing. I got on Adderall as a adult, if I had it as a teen I probably would have been able to pass boring classes.
2 things I've noticed to be ADHD specific. Does caffeine feel like it scratches an itch in your brain? and 1/2

looks like a segmented plasma disc with LED lights around the outer ring. Did like 5 quick searches and couldn't find the exact product.

Far easier than herding people. Kittens are especially easy. Unless they are feral, you can literally stack them on each other to carry them from one room to another. Cats once you understand them are consistent with some things (on a individualized level) so you can control what their prefered hiding spaces are, where they are willing to go, and other aspects of behavior.
People on the other hand are complex, deceptive to themselves and others, have compound motivations and infulences.

Rats are destructive to greenery. Looking it up I see some people have put cat grass in the run-around area (A open area outside the cage for interaction/exercise). One might be able to get away with cat grass in the cage if they planted a ton and kept it in well kept soil, but that sounds like a big hassle for something that might not work.

My point still stands. Even unshortened links are suspect given the incursions of bots lately and ironically it seems many people on imgur can't be bothered to look up a users comment history. Accompanying the link with specific and relevant text and a screenshot of the products page would help differentiate your comment from the spam.

assuming your account did not get hacked I am going to point out that posting shortened links without context is a great way for everyone to assume your a scam bot and vote accordingly.

Spam account. They have a bunch of no vote comments and now suddenly a link to a dubious site.

A thing to be aware with pickling is you have to be aware of the PH to avoid botulism. Most things will end up a PH of around 4.0 without help but things like artichoke hearts require adding stuff to correct the PH.
Basically just do a search online before you pickle something new.

Glazed over than, well downvote fairies were after you so I got you back up to 0.

3/4 are. Orange gene is on the X chromone and dominate when you only have one X(males). In females having only 1 copy makes them Calico or Tortoiseshell. You only get a orange female if she has 2 copies of the orange gene.

I've had sick foster cats who would have starved themselves if I didn't pet them enough that they felt like eating. So much of doing medical fosters is convincing cat/kittens to stop starving themselves and drink liquids, or syringing it to them if all else fails.

I think you meant to reply to @Slugsie instead of starting a new comment chain.

Wow this is a long spam bot account. Wtf-product is the most recent drop shipping scam/spam site for anyone looking.

"Cats by nature don't normally live in prides" MY point is living in groups is the norm

1: I don't think that's the comment you meant to respond to and 2: look up studies such as https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10822437/ and you will see that cats form colonies as a preference, which means it is their nature to form a colony if at all feasible. Solitary behavior is driven by intense resource competition, and is not their normal state.

If @op were to add the word "model" at the end I think half the pedantic comments about working would disappear. The work (in this case causing motion for a purpose) to demonstrate a concept is here.
I'm pedantic, but give someone some slack for missing a word in the title.

Technically if you burn it without enough oxygen you make activated carbon(AKA charcol), which does conduct. It's not a great conductor but it is used as part of some battery anode types.

It's far easier to just add copper wire to it like you see here. Especially as using charcoal would require much higher voltages for any given power.

(2/2)equal to the offset. Still make the initial cutting line mark for reference. For me its usually 2-4 inches to the left.
Now cutting not straight lines is yet to be a skill i've mastered. 2/2

I get what you mean but cutting lumber within 1/8th of a inch is to me easy. Use the same measuring tape, mark points on both ends and use a carpenter square or ruler to make the line between both and the making sure to clamp the wood down(for miter/chop saw) or use a fence(for table saw) or for freehand type saws like circular saw or jigsaw make a cutting guide with piece of mdf or metal bar stock. For that you figure out the blade offset from on of the side and clamp the guide to a line 1/2

Well of course the fancy stuff is strongest. Baltic birch or furniture grade plywood is expensive. Baltic birch and pontoons plus anchors is what they should have used here if they were smart.
