Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most horrifying thing someone in your care has eaten?
12·13 days agoI didn’t see it happen and I don’t know whether it was all at once or over some time. But one morning my cat was in distress, and the vets endoscoped 30 wrist-sized ponytail holders out of her stomach. Very grateful she was okay, we banned them in our home because they were her favorite toy but apparently secretly delicious.

I remember having to give your “cross streets,” i.e. the nearest intersection of major thoroughfares, so they’d know which section of the Thomas Guide to look in, especially if there were multiple streets with the same name. Then again, I’m older than Domino’s.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Questions about steps to take when I return home from wildfire evacuation. Not sure what to expect.
11·23 days agoOh hi again, I commented on your other post. Good on you, sealing the house and with your solar fridge setup. This other commenter knows their stuff. See if you can find out more about whether your home experienced heat from the fire (spot fires in your yard would be a clue that hot winds blew through) or not. And because your whole area was affected, your local and state government will probably have helpful resources and information so tap into that. Be aware that you may see animals (wild or pets) displaced by the fires. I live near the Pacific Palisades but was luckily upwind and got no real damage and I’m still getting visits to my feeder from wild birds and squirrels that don’t usually come into human areas.
Okay I’ll include her own age and maaaaybe up to 10 years older. But anyone aiming 30+ years older than themselves probably has a financial motive.
Among your other points, a wealthy 40 year old CEO looking for romance is going to pick a guy below her age, not one who’s 72.
Pretty sure the only organ they’ll harvest is his wallet but they can cut pretty deep financially, and break his heart.
Know any real women who might make a better match for him?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the most tone-deaf advertisement or marketing campaign you’ve ever seen?

Although I could see having snacks to fill out the extra spaces in a laundry-products vending machine by the washers.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you find friends without kids ?
24·1 month agoLook into volunteering some of your free time. Search for opportunities that put you out among people, do the things parents don’t have time or energy for. It’s okay if helping the community isn’t your main motivation, the work doesn’t care who does it. And it self-selects the other participants to be somewhat like yourself, especially if you let your interests drive your choice of where to donate your time.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Investing for good: possible? What do folks do?
32·2 months agoIt’s hard to “do good” while also making a profit. But it’s a little easier to not be evil, not support evil, and still be responsible about earning enough to support yourself when you can’t work (now or when you’re old) or have an unexpected need for cash. For instance there are socially responsible stock-market funds that exclude the worst companies, but you’ll want to check for your priorities like climate or worker exploitation because they vary in what they make compromises on.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•On what specific episode does your favorite "I swear it eventually gets really good" television show actually start turning around?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•On what specific episode does your favorite "I swear it eventually gets really good" television show actually start turning around?
15·2 months agoAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had to vamp for too long before “Turn, Turn, Turn” but it got better and better the loopier it got, and the farther from the canon universe. And yet it’s worth watching the early eps because things are set in place that the show runners fulfill later. In some cases much much later, and in some very satisfying ways.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Any Other Guys wish they were short/shorter
4·2 months agoI think we all, tall and small alike, can agree the airlines can get fucked with the way they jam inhuman numbers of seats into the airplane. You know they bribe Congress with free flights, to keep themselves carved out from disability -access laws and even basic decency for their passengers.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does a PBJ have a defined "up" side?
2·2 months agoIf you’re packing a PBJ for later, a thin layer of soft butter on the jelly side prevents it sogging the bread. Especially helpful if you’re using preserves rather than jelly, so there’s fruit-syrup between the fruit pieces. It also adds a nice little salty-umami flavor.

Your whine is valid, so many things are never done. Laundry is one of the worst, not the difficulty of the job itself, it’s simple, but unless I were to go down to the building’s laundry room naked I’m already making more laundry even when I’m doing it.
Good choice moving the cat box early in the process, get the cat used to it while it’s still a mess.
