Being jealous is just an emotion, its nothing to feel bad about. How you act on that emotion however, is how I'll receive you.

People are capable of incredibly complex emotions, such as feeling both unhappy bitterness of their own lives in comparison, while feeling and displaying joyous celebrations of their friends success.

One can have both positive and negative experiences of the same event. There's no use in trying to narrow down to either one.

What is a banfield clinic and why should we avoid them?

I can see why you love him already!

As a new cat owner there are a lot of pitfalls (I've stumbled into plenty in my time). Figure out how he acts normally, and whenever he strays from that normal - go to the vet.

For example: regular advice is if cat seems more withdrawn than normal they are sick - for me cat was more affectionate than normal so didn't realise they were sick,

Another time I was toilet training cats, and the one who got it turned out to be sick, because potty training isn't very normal and hides changes in urine and poop schedules.

And speaking of: if you have outdoor cats, keep them inside for three days now and then to have them go in a litter box just to check that they don't have parasites, bloody stool, pain around peeing, frequent pees etc.

If its an option, always have the insured for the vet, and better safe than sorry. Cats are experts at hiding their pain and injuries until its too late, so any change can be a symptom.

Not to bee a gloomy doomy - my current bastard is nearing 20 years old (with regular vet visits and daily medication no one guesses his actual age). They are for sure the light of your life, and I hope you have a long full life together!

I don't know, I struggle to find a single use.

Maybe to make a quick funny thing with seven fingers to send to your friends...? But even then the downside is that these images get sort of normalised and I personally wouldn't do it. At least not now that the novelty is way over and there are fewer funny obvious errors.

As a person who can't draw a circle to save my life, for RPG-characters I thought I'd find use for it, but I actually prefer doing a horrible childish two-colour-crayon-sketch at the table rather than bring in a portfolio of images made artificially. My horrible sketches will become part of the lore we kaugh about.

I know that at work when we had out summer greetings sent out from the CEO, anything anyone talked about was how it was so clearly written with AI and it for sure didn't inspire confidence or pride in the work place as it was meant to do. The same with some project image very clearly AI generated, which led to the whole project being less reputable in the organisation at a ground level and having fewer qualified people conscript to it willingly.

And any project where the creator or images are generated, I'll trust far less than ones lacking images altogether.

I'm sorry if I couldn't answer your question properly.

Edit: I may have to go back to gboard - at least it could spell for me...

Personally, if I'm paid to work I don't mind doing other type of jobs, as long as the job I'm hired to do takes precedence. So if I am done with my assignments and they're still paying me for the time spent at work, I'll work at whatever needs doing.

Where I feel this doesn't work in your case is doing jobs you're not qualified to do. You're not trained and qualified to talk to patients about their troubles, or to train nursing staff on how to apply electrodes, and probably not to bring patients to the bathroom. All things that would be your responsibility if you were to do it wrong, as those are not under the qualifications for your position.

I would put my foot down on those, and go fetch a different/senior nurse (as fetching people IS your job) when that's needed.

And that is the conversation I'd have with my manager - not that I don't want to work while they are still paying, but what types of assignments I'm expected and allowed and qualified to do, and which to refer to someone else to not put yourself and the hospital at risk for liability. And to have that in writing.

am very aware of my weaknesses.

[I'm not the one who originally commented]

I wouldn't know the difference.

All I can know and judge on and care about is how they choose to respond, not how they feel.

And I personally trust people who tell me of their ugly emotions (after we've been friends for a long time) more than the ones pretending to be perfect a decade into the friendship.

If it's possible and you're capable to do it, then I think it's a moral choice.

If it's a matter of survival, health or inaccess to a variety of food, I don't think it really is a choice one should have to make on grounds of morality.

maybe my body needs a warmup set on my working weight? If so, I'll just do about half the reps of a normal working set and count it as a warmup set and see if that fixes my problem.

As a rookie, I don't think you need to be this meticulous... But if it helps you actually get to the gym and keep the routine to have a strict schedule/progress, sure!

I personally wouldn't do a warmup at my goal weight, neither for PR (because then you can't push it) nor for sets (because you get fewer sets if you loose one to warmup, and I like the numbers lol), but thats just how you want to count it.

Warning up is meant to lubricate your joints and capillaries and whatnot, to avoid injuries before going into heavy weights, so I wouldn't encourage warming up in heavy weights. Warm up the motion with multiple reps, not heavy resistance.

But if it works for you, it works for you. When you're elite enough you'll get a trainer and won't have to rely on internet randos anyway. Just avoid injuries and be kind to your body until then.

Extend your warmup set or do two warmup sets (possibly with even lower weight).

Allow for a bit longer rest between the warmup set and the workout set.

Try both and see if either one or both makes a difference.

It depends on what type of exhaustion. Some types need sleep, some types need physical activity, some need alone time and some need time with friends or family.

A bath and a book or a nature walk and a talk, are my most frequent needs aside from actual sleep.

Some companies have started selling period panties made for swimming, see if you can find some and maybe she can swim comfortably going forward.

There are other ways to play with water, like running through a water spreader, water balloons, water gun fight. She can do all of these with whatever her protection of choice is currently.

You can make popsicles by putting decarbonated soda or lemonade or juice (I like mine a bit watered down) in the freezer. Mini ones with icecube trays (and tooth picks?) or larger ones in trays bought specifically for the purpose (or home invented).

Staying in shade and having a fan for cooling off also helps, but isn't as fun. Going for a bike ride down a fairly flat and shaded park or forest trail could be more fun way to get some wind.

Better safe than sorry, or as in this case: both safe and sorry!

If you were bit at all you also need to go to emergency care for a shot and taking care of the wound. Cat bites are really nasty, like losing a limb or worse. They heal quickly on the surface so it may look fine, but they go deep and push a lot of nasty bacteria that gets trapped under the surface healing.

The next time, throw a glass of water into the fight or slam some pot lids together to make a scary noise to interrupt the fight. Don't put your hands in between them. Use a broom or some other barrier if you absolutely want to get physical with it.

And in the longer run, make sure your cats are both neutered to make them less fighty, and that they have someplace to retreat to avoid a fight (like high shelves in every room with an entry way on both ends, pull the couch and other furniture out so theres always always a differentexit from where they entered). Give them multiple high value places like beds, toys, water, food, scratching posts and litter boxes far apart from each other so they don't need to fight over resources. Especially look these things over for spots where they get into conflict.

Good luck!

Edit: perhaps you know all this already...but better safe than sorry, lol! Maybe someone else reading doesn't know.

I understand how it went down, it sounds pretty unavoidable given the circumstances. I'm glad you went and got the bites taken care of.

And I also understand why the younger cat would react you the older cat protesting, that sounds like quite the triggering howl.

It can be a nightmare introducing old cats and new cats. I've given up myself and will not house any new cats until my current grump passes away, it's not worth stressing him out over it at this point (nearing 20 years old).

I hope the pheromone helps.

If they are indoor cats, are you making sure to activate them enough? Like playing at least 15 min at least twice a day with each of them, especially the younger one? I mean getting them to chase and jump and climb and bite and finally successfully kill their pray with a snack (can be part of their feeding time). If they're tired from playing they have less pent up energy turning to aggression.

You can select a license with attribution attached, but put in your project info that you have no plans to ever enforce the rules of attribution but will strictly enforce the rules of open availability and free of charge.

No one will enforce rules for you that you as project owner/creator does not care about.

I don't know anything about blade runner, but since utopia is a positive dream future (as opposed to dystopia that are negative nightmare futures), I'll take that.

It probably depends on where you're from, but you for example couldn't do military training or become a pilot with a diagnosis, and you needed a doctors note that you were reliably medicated for a long time to be allowed a driving learners permit. Some things have changed since then though, since this was decades ago.

Pretty crazy that they used to encourage people to stay undiagnosed and unmedicated to go into dangerous careers, rather than the other way around.

I try to decide for myself that these small exchanges are part of a sense of community, of seeing each other as safe, and having neutral social interactions.

Forcing myself to have neutral exchanges I think builds a sense of safety, because it extends the area between positive and negative.. so I don't have to avoid everything non-positive for fear of it being negative, you know?

Though sometimes my head is not in a good place and it's more difficult to find the positives in stuff and be annoyed by annoyances.

(Feel free to put my unwarranted unloading as today's second slight annoyance if you'd like)

I don't know, but if you put some more effort into remembering people's names you don't have to get into these situations in the first place. I say this as someone who's terrible at remembering names, but I have gotten better at it, and so can you.

Also, most times it's fine to just say "a coworker" without specifying who it is unless people ask.
