Sorry for your loss.

Our 19 year old also had kidney failure, and we spent every minute with him as well. On his last night, the sunset was in every direction, a full 360° sunset. April 30th was his last day and I will always miss him. He was Muteki; he was invincible.

Same, but they’re getting harder to find.

There’s a gas station near me that have the mute button disabled. I refuse to go there and the station I fill up at is 2 miles out of my way.

Keep being transparent as fuck, Space Karen

🤣

I agree; I won’t even buy it if it’s locked up.

Same, except for list comprehension in python, I prefer sinlge character var names there.

I’m literally having my 19 year old cat put down tomorrow due to kidney disease and I very much wish for him to feel young and healthy again. It sucks.

Same thought. Try kagi search. Search is better, I believe they use their own indexing, and you’re their customer, not the product, so there’s incentive to providing good service to customer instead of being treated like cattle and it shows!

Fully agree. I would also hope to see a complete ban on advertising to children, and to get rid of obnoxious billboards.

People who sit to pee are still splashing the underside of the toilet seat, so there’s piss to cleanup for standers as well as sitters.

I was taking the comment thread (about how dangerous this could be in photographic evidence) a step further by imagining a hypothetical techno-distopian future where corporate controlled AI alters photos to make them look better, but in reality, it creates a back door where incriminating evidence can be created.

edit: since it wasn’t obvious to readers, this is a hypothetical of a techno-distopian future…

Imagine taking a selfie only to see an image of you holding a knife. But there are no knives in your hands. Another snap. Same image displays on the screen, but there’s a person of particular importance in the background. You turn your head but are all alone. Nobody is around. You’re starting to freak out. Are you being pranked, maybe your phone has been hacked. Another shutter sound effect and you see an image of yourself over a victim. You frantically open your camera’s gallery, thinking your eyes are fooling you, but the photos are the same. And are sent to the cloud. Deleting isn’t allowed, AI detected felonious imagery. You’ve been reported to multiple agencies. You are alone. There are no knives in your hands.

I have died of dysentery.

Well if it isn’t Abe Simpson.

Mine is 19. Nearly lost him a few weeks ago to kidney disease. He’s on special diet now and doing better. I can’t help feeling like we would have caught it earlier with regular checkups. He’s old, deaf, and has an insatiable appetite, I just hope the quality of life he has in his final years are worth it to him.

This issue only occurs when i go into a deep meditation specific to relaxing my muscles before sleep. I had to learn this as a kid because my mind would race for hours trying to fall asleep. With a few different techniques, I can fall asleep within 15 minutes. 5 if I’m already tired. But it wasn’t until recently that i discovered i could push the technique far enough to relax my autonomous breathing. But probably very much related to sleep apnea, just not quite the same in my case.

A funny thing I discovered, if I relax my muscles too much when falling asleep, my body’s autonomous breathing stops. It’s weird, I just literally stop breathing until something else in me starts to panic then I’m gasping for air.

I feel like they’re being disingenuous. Lots of what-aboutisms and moving goal posts and ignoring the issues that got us to needing right to repair laws in the first place, namely Apple and John Deere and all the copy cats, but also with the goal of reducing e-waste.

Hijacking to say Complex PTSD by Pete Walker is a great read on the subject, even if you don’t think you suffer from cptsd, it’s very eye-opening.

Why the switch? What are you looking about nixOS? (just curious, i haven’t heard much of nixOS)
