You reduce the protein in their saliva

There’s a pre-made Purina food but there’s also food additives like safeline and pacagen.

I’ve not tried any of them myself and don’t know anyone who uses them, but the science itself seems solid. Worth looking into.

Also quite the beautiful floof

Not wanting a cat doesn’t mean won’t care for a cat. I said no to another cat because I’m not prepared to care for it on top of everything else I’ve got going on.

This whole “didn’t want a cat but is secretly a softy” thing needs to die.

I wonder if caching it as “a warning from God to preserve the environment” would help at all

I know exactly what you’re talking about and it’s why I don’t eat popcorn.

Welcome to the club and you’re spot on. I buy a few fake mice and stuff but for years my cats have played mostly with: stolen hair ties, a green washcloth (but only that one, no idea), a laser pointer, and some string (put away after each session so he doesn’t eat it).

It opens my programs menu (or start menu to use the Windows vernacular). It’s still incredibly useful for me to have it that way

My problem is I just threw everything I had on it to backup everything. There’s so many duplicate files. Just today cleaning up I got probably 200GB back.

Alright, fine, screw it. I’ll organize my NAS finally. I’ll create structure there or die trying

I don’t know why people keep saying this. I wonder if it’s an old thing? I’ve got three people with dedicated Nvidia gpus on mint and they’re just fine. The driver manager just works.

Talking in just modern times most any technology uses it. It’s used in medicine as nanoparticles for biosensors and cancer treatment (photothermal therapy) as well as targeted medicine delivery. Pretty much all computers have gold wires in them due to it’s conductive properties which sure isn’t necessary for sustaining life technically but modern life, yes. It’s been used in dentistry since like 1000 BC because of how inert it is, it’s used in chemistry all over the place and material science which we rely on to use on all the previous fields. I could go on but I think the point is clear, gold has many many uses beyond just jewelry.

Usual caveats: I’m a person on the Internet, going off only what you’ve posted and just your side of things, so can only say so much. I’m also exhausted so probably rambling.

I am the gamer in my relationship. Married for several years quite happily. I spent ~24 hours gaming this week. I will spend about 0 hours gaming next week doing what my wife wants.

“She still makes time for me when we play video games” <- this right here is concerning to me. Not criticizing you at all but that isn’t the way. Just “sucking it up” will only lead to resentment and loneliness and fighting. Ask me how I know. If she’s only making time for you in her hobbies, that’s not really making time for you, which is why you’re feeling unfulfilled and asking on the Internet.

A relationship is entirely about balance. If you have hobbies and interests outside of gaming there should be time for those. She should be willing to go to those because she cares about you. Not always, and not at the cost of her fulfillment, but some. Once a week I go out to dinner and then watch a dumb rom-com or something. I have zero interest in it but I do it because it makes her happy. Then at some time during the week we I take time to game and she brings me snacks because it makes me happy. It’s a give and take and we’re both happy

Have you tried communicating directly to her “I want to do this, and I want to do it with you. Please join me because this is a way I enjoy spending time with you”? What was her response to that? My wife and I learned early in our relationship that we need to just be clear and say those things. Being able to not only express what you’rr feeling but understand and listen to what your partner is feeling is the only way it will last. And really think about both what you’re saying and what she is saying. Sometimes my wife and I still have to stop each and clarify what the other person actually means. You can’t read her mind so don’t assume you know what she means. Make sure. And visa versa.

It’s not easy. But seriously. Go have a deep heart to heart and figure out where the disconnect is and what balance is needed to make the relationship work long term.

Like four hours? Got some wine as a present and quick little walk.

Depression sucks. Hopefully you can find some meds and a process that works for you. As others mentioned, logging off really can help. It’s all about balance.

Just finished Sunderfolk with a group of friends and my wife. Also finished Expedition 33 (and I’ll never stop talking about it).

I’m about halfway through Dodgeball Academy and Chants of Sennaar. They’re a fun little distraction before I dig into Blue Prince and Hades

Por que no los DOS? (Pun intended)

But really it’s been two things. I’ve had to adapt algorithms to some extremely ancient hardware that had another twenty years planned service, and I’ve had to work on robot operating systems where timing of operations is extremely important

“human legible”

Have you looked at a punch card? I like some assembly, but the punch card is just dots. They blur together until all you see are holes and more holes and structure has lost all meaning.

That’s been on my list for ages. I really need to watch it

Hear me out but Iron sky. A group of Nazis have been hiding on the moon. They’re back now. I thought it was a great romp and you could tell the creators cared.

Kung Fury was also 10/10. Time travel Nazi fighting.

I see a theme lol

Curseforge, another Minecraft launcher that many modpacks get uploaded to and also supports multiple versions, has been working for about a year for me on Linux Mint too incase she ever wants that.

Most people when they hear “drama” they think things like the brain dead hissy fits on reality TV. The kind of pointless fighting we should avoid. Destigmatizing the word would legitimatize that stuff.

We really need a better word for this posts topic where there’s very public back and forth but it’s a much more valid moral disagreement.

One of us, one of us!
