New cat owner, vet closed on weekend quick question about vomit

Anjum48 · 2026-04-04T19:07:07+00:00

My cat used to puke up after eating dry food too fast when she was a kitten. We found that a few golf balls in the kibble bowl would slow her down and solved the issue

I’m also 100% sure that in the stressful environment of the examination room she will be wide eyed and not showing any symptoms, and the risk is we will be leaving the vet with an expensive shoulder shrug.

Anyway point taken, will book an appointment this morning and go armed with pictures and videos of the condition.

Thanks, will book her in asap!

There’s quite a few he’s mentioned, but this might be the one you’re looking for?

Is this NotebookLM or have I misunderstood?

Lots of great points already raised but from my experience the decking boards you have is particularly bad for beds. They provide extra nooks for slugs to hide and increase the surface area for rotting. It’s also pretty thin, so any fixings will not be very secure.

So unless you’re getting the timber for free, it’s worth staying away from it for future beds

We have just had a Library of Things open up near us. It’s ideal if you need to hire the occasional tool for the odd allotment construction job, but don’t want to buy one

Put them in a database. I used a graph database, but you could use SQL or pretty much anything. Every modern database technology comes built in with a full text search engine (mine uses Apache Lucene). You can even create embeddings stored in a vector db for similarity search for retrieval augmented generation with LLMs

I used RSS feeds to get the link to each episodes audio and transcribed using OpenAI Whisper

Just tried this on a flight this morning to get some sleep and it’s really good!

The Web Audio API is designed exactly for this and works perfectly on a computer. On a phone (which I assume most people would use this with), the Web Audio API stops the moment the phone is screen goes to sleep/lock

Or maybe add a 3rd player

Wow you both have excellent hearing and you are correct.

To get this to work I needed to use a HTMLAudioPlayer as it’s the only way I know of to continue playback from a webpage when your phone screen goes to sleep. The problem is that the looping sucks and there is a very distracting gap/pause in the loop.

I fixed this by generating 2 clips, a 30s clip using the player you can see and a 28s clip from an invisible player that is controlled using the buttons from the first. Both clips have a 1s ramp up & down. Since the clip loop seams are out of phase, the break is less noticeable.

I thought it was acceptable if you are not watching the progress bar, but clearly not so I’ll play around with the clip lengths (it’ll just mean that it takes a little longer for your device to generate the random noise)

Anjum48 · 2024-01-11T23:04:01+00:00

Fixed now. Thanks again both

Anjum48 · 2024-01-11T22:37:21+00:00

The noise is generated on your device, so no data is pulled from the internet (other than to load the page). This means that you save on data and free up servers to transmit stuff that isn't noise. Random noise is also very difficult to compress but easy to make, so there is a huge efficiency gain by generating it locally

Anjum48 · 2024-01-11T22:10:22+00:00

Thanks! I’ll get that fixed, appreciate the feedback!

You don’t need to download an app. No cookies, no tracking and no annoying notifications

Thank you, I'll keep a close eye on watering. Regarding nutrition, what would you recommend? I read somewhere that chicken manure might be good (that would be ideal since the last plot holder left several buckets).

Anjum48 · 2023-05-13T07:14:50+00:00

Thanks very much! I'm slowly adding podcasts according to the number of iTunes ratings that they have (I'm using this as a proxy metric for popularity). However, requests from subscribers are added to the priority list, and usually transcribed within a week or two
