My fiance and I feed our 2 cats Tiki Cat After Dark. We have noticed in the last month the cans are much wetter, some flavors almost to the point of being soup. I'm concerned about a calorie change since they were at a good weight the last few times we went to the vet.

Has anyone else noticed a change? I saw General Mills bought them last November (can we have something not owned by a fucking mega corporation?) so I feel my suspicions may be substantiated.

My girlfriend and I are obese and one thing we wanted to do once we moved in together was help each other lose some pounds. I have a gravel bike that I've had for 2 years, and once the weather gets warm I can ride about 25 miles. She wants to start riding for exercise but wants something more comfortable than a road bike which I completely understand.

I would like to ride with her but I don't think riding on a gravel bike next to a city bike is going to be much fun for either of us. Should I bite the bullet and get a second bike for me while we shop for her new bike? We only plan on riding in town and on bike paths occasionally.

I got the Creality brand glass bed for my Ender 5 a few weeks ago. I bought it for making sure my bed wasn't warped, to replace my original magnetic bed that had a crease, and because everyone said prints just pop off after it cools. I have had absolutely zero luck with the prints popping off.

I printed bed stabilizers for it first. First and second print didn't stick. I don't know if that was due to me not cleaning it or not letting the glass warm. On the third print I cleaned the bed with alcohol and let the glass warm up. This one stuck so well I thought I was going to break the glass and had to use a scraper to help. Next prints were some minis that were tough to get off. One

I tried finding a room and creating a room but I'm not being matched with anyone. I have tried restarting the beta and made sure I was connected online.

I need suggestions, advice, help with the big decision to adopt, anything you want to throw at me.

I picked up a 1.5 year old, 35 pound rat terrier named Cricket on Sunday and I'm worried he will have too much energy for me.

On Sunday we;

  • met my parents two shelties separately
  • played fetch and tug of war inside and met my friend/neighbor
  • went to my parents house to meet family and play with the other dogs in a fenced in back yard
  • went home and went on a 2 mile walk
  • obedience training and fetch inside

Monday

  • went for a quarter mile walk in the morning before work
  • went for a half mile walk and obedience training during lunch
  • Went for a 2 mile walk when I got home
  • tug f

Introduction

  1. Will this be your first dog? If not, what experience do you have owning/training dogs?
  • It will be my own first dog, but I grew up with a dog and regularly take care of my Mom’s 2 dogs for weeks or a month at a time.
  1. Do you have a preference for rescuing a dog vs. going through a reputable breeder?
  • No
  1. Describe your ideal dog.
  • I want a dog that’s excited when I come home and sleep in the same room or bed with me. I want it to want to sit with me, but also be fine with being alone. I’d like to take it on walks along the road and let it loose in fenced in areas. I want it

I was making a dipping sauce for udon noodles and accidentally forgot to reduce the heat of my burner when cooking some onions. Some of the onions got scorched, but a small amount that I figured I could save it and pressed on. This was also the last of the onions I had. I realize the first thing I should have done was switch pans to one that doesn't have all that extra burnt onion on it. So after adding garlic, Ginger, soy sauce and mirin, it still had a large amount of burnt flavor to it. I tried to mask it with a bit of hot sauce, red wine vinegar, curry powder, and honey in that order. In the end I had something that tasted fine, certainty not the original goal though. I was also never ab

Early this year we had some students print to our Treasurer's printer so we decided to disable printing from Chromebooks until we have a solution. They are currently only able to print from the 6 laptops we have setup in the Media Center, but that gets extremely crowded the day a paper is due.

We want to make it so students can only print to one or two printers in the school, but also able to use their home printer. So I guess my question is if there's a way to black list printers?

I just bought a new condo about two months ago. All 3 rooms have a fan and I wanted to add lighting to 2 of them. While trying to find the correct breakers, I realized none of them turned off any of the fans. They do not have switches, they are only controlled by the pull cord.

So I have a lot of questions about this so I'm just going to list them.

1: Is this a common or semi common thing?

2: Am I being charged for the electricity my fans use?

3: If I ask the owner of the complex, would I be forced to have them rewired to my breaker box?

4: If there's no way for me to shut power off to them without informing the owner of the complex, is there any way I could add a light fixture t

We started our 1:1 program last year with HP 11 Chromebooks in the middle schools. We had given G3's and G4's to 7th and 8th grade, and G4 EE's to 6th grade. With each student keeping their Chromebook until 9th grade (we just started high school 1:1 this year) the new 6th graders received brand new G4 EE's.

It seems like almost an epidemic this year with how many motherboards are going bad. Almost none of the 6th graders new chromebooks are having issues, but the 7th and 8th grade ones are dropping like flies. Problems range from the screen "glitching out" then going black (this is repeatable with a slight flex to the motherboard), the system not being able to read storage saying there'
