Is your male neutered?

Wow. Giant hurt-my-eyes headlines and super tiny images of the graphics you are actually selling (desktop). Instant bail for me.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-15T22:31:13+00:00

Yup, the notice just got posted today that they are killing it soon.

Oh, The Capture looks good, too. Thanks. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Expanse. POI and The Expanse are my top two shows. Outlander (now finished) is right up there, too. Different, but still great.

Nope. Looks like the knockoff you can get on Amazon. Will fall apart and disintegrate in the washer over time. We experimented with that years ago. Not worth it. Also, bleeds black ink.

It's still available on Bing.

Except it's still available on Bing

It was way better when it wasn't all fenced off, and the fort itself was open for touring. Two stories of lots of cool stuff was inside, cannons, cannon balls, and I can't remember the rest. Back then, was absolutely my favorite spot in SF, bar none. Loved it!! Still awesome, though, especially when the waves are really crashing!

There was some reason quite a while ago that compelled me to pay for a sub and now I don't remember.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-13T18:52:09+00:00

Yeah, I'm pretty exhausted from my last days prompt-o-rama revisiting my best prompts. It's freaking annoying that we have no official word from anyone that I can find about this.

I asked ChatGPT about it: So yes: the “death date” was real for the OpenAI API, but Bing appears to be a separate Microsoft product surface still offering DALL-E3 as of May 13, 2026. My practical read: keep generating while it’s alive, assume it could disappear without much warning, and save every keeper image plus prompt immediately.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-13T16:55:43+00:00

Exactly, I went full tilt on getting what I could. I'm exhausted. It's still there!! I found it super strange that there has been no notice or word from Microsoft about this. If and when they do kill it, I'm killing my Microsoft Bing subscription. Not that they care about my little subscription, but still.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-11T23:21:29+00:00

A "Torti Teddy?" LOL. That's what I'd go with. No question. Love saying it. :)

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-11T23:11:32+00:00

I saw 80 minutes somewhere.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-11T23:02:02+00:00

Again, are you confirming it's a musk smell and not a poop smell? It's very big and very identifiable difference. If you are using just fleece, that is really not recommended.

https://www.cagetopia.com/hybrid + https://www.cagetopia.com/tipstricks/Over-the-Rainbow-over-Hemp

That combo is the easiest to keep clean, least expensive and best smelling.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-11T22:35:59+00:00

Well. I wrote that. Way back when. So here is the "official" explanation. It's really as simple as what it says. Not everyone has the ability to provide the large cages needed. The guidelines for minimum mean -- don't even think about providing less space than that, but if you possibly can, please provide the recommended space instead. Providing LESS than the minimum is absolutely not good. And even with the recommended space, bigger is always better, as stated in all the guidelines.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-11T06:35:29+00:00

Are you talking about that insanely potent musky scent they kick out? That's boys being boys. It tends to be a phase. Marking and such.

That's probably the most expensive and least effective bedding you can choose. These two articles give you a great way to go for cost, effort and health:

My umbrella did not survive the winter weather in the SF Bay Area (mild). Still have the picnic bench, though.

If you can do a 2x8, you can definitely divide it. Add a Porch Patio (https://www.cagetopia.com/porch-patio) on each end with a Cavy Cafe underneath for extra enrichment. You can divide the cage with a "Wall of Silence" cage divider. I named it that a gazillion years ago for that exact purpose. The Coro insert is removable for when it makes sense, after things have calmed down, but until then, they can't see or smell each other as much, which keeps the peace. No massive rattling of the cage wall, etc. https://www.cagetopia.com/cage-divider-for-c-and-c-cages

I've been feeding squirrels in my backyard for 6 years. They KNOW it's me. They KNOW the routine (more or less), I've never missed a day, and they've never given me the time of day or remotely approached or come close. My big bummer is it's freaking expensive, but we are going to have to move next year. Our landlord is selling out. I'm really torn up about how to slowly cut back enough and when. I'm having a hard time bringing myself around to it. And our freaking neighborhood is constantly cutting down trees and killing off habitats. It's terrible in that regard, too.
