That's our eventual plan! I haven't ordered one yet since all of them have reviews about cats being able to open them up plus I have to figure out how to transition to a dry food diet again. Mine will paw at the sealed container o

How long is "eventually"? My cat is almost 5 years old. She is the type to overeat to obesity, probably because she was abandoned at ~1yr by her previous owner. For half her life my partner and I have been feeding her like clockwo

You have to pay vehicle registration fees every year. I don't see how this is all that different from that. I can't imagine that $150 - even if it was per car, which it's not - even covers the overhead of ensuring that the co

I highly recommend all of NK Jemisin's works. The first novel in her most recent series won this year's Hugo for Best Novel: The Fifth Season.

From a fellow moissanite fangirl, thank you for writing this up! I always enjoy telling people my ring isn't a diamond, but the essay is more compelling to share with folks that can't see moissanite in person. I have a 1ct moissan

Don't forget to explicitly vote no on 66 if you are voting yes on 62. If both of them pass, the one with more 'yes' votes will supersede the other.

I have ADHD too. Have you looked into fidget toys? They dramatically cut down on my toe-tapping and fidgeting. Also the incidence of distracting fidgeting goes down when I'm at a good level of meds+therapy. I might also add that (this

Actually, funny you bring up a $50 price point. The only other autoinjector still on the US market is Adrenaclick, which is ~$140 for a 2 pack. I genuinely have no idea why people consider there to be no viable alternative to the EpiPen - t

I mentioned this in another thread, but another option is using (hair) conditioner. I can't personally speak to how well it works on faces seeing as how I have no facial hair, but it's my go-to at home for shaving my legs and thin

Have you ever tried using hair conditioner instead of shaving cream? I prefer conditioner even at home. I never get enough shaving cream for my legs, if I even get one that doesn't smell "manly", so I always just pack extra c

That narrative is a bit strange in the US, as the only federal/state mandated leave afforded to new parents (if they even qualify) is one that covers major medical/caretaker leave too.

Weeeellllll, 2 days is still better than what a lot of folks in the US get. Which is to say, they don't even qualify for 12 weeks unpaid leave from FMLA as their employer is not big enough or they have not worked enough hours for their

Surrogacy on top of actual harvesting is very expensive and time-consuming and painful if even possible without donor sperm/eggs. I doubt most people are able to make up the $100k+ needed with earning potential differences in the 10-15

Many folks get Part C or D coverage that give them the option to get dental/vision included too, if they don't just buy it separately. My parents pay $95/month or so each for Kaiser's Medicare plan in the Bay Area, and t
