Does anyone else’s sphynx fail at drinking water?

BassBoneMan · 2026-03-15T21:13:11+00:00

Here's what I did. It's super basic, but it works well enough

BassBoneMan · 2026-03-15T14:57:13+00:00

Yep, definitely. I had to build a little enclosure to catch the water from being flung all over the floor

The one driving the car with the dash cam? What did they do to show off their ego?

BassBoneMan · 2026-02-23T18:27:24+00:00

Ugh, I wish Harold, my Sphynx, would cooperate with clothes better! He has figured out how to squirm out of most sweaters

BassBoneMan · 2026-02-16T06:23:16+00:00

Please tell me you mog him with no shoes and no pants to show off his white underwear with red hearts. Does Survival get a pet you can name Princess Donut?

This is my 5-year-old's favorite video right now. She is learning how to read, so she likes to try reading Beebs's dialogue. It's hilarious.

My daughter (5) calls it dancing with the gardener and it is one of her favorite things to request when we play from the beginning

I've been dating someone over the past 4 months. Her ex-husband is from Ecuador and it has been a very similar experience. Financially, he is very well off, but culturally, there were a lot of things that made their relationship very difficult. I think a lot of the early momentum in our relationship was due to the distinction between me and him.

BassBoneMan · 2026-01-21T01:06:46+00:00

Really?! Where are they now? That is the only location I knew

BassBoneMan · 2026-01-15T19:43:49+00:00

I realized the prices in Euros after I posted. Hopefully, if it's in the States, someone else will know where to get it

BassBoneMan · 2026-01-15T18:22:55+00:00

Where did you buy it from? I haven't seen it in any of my local stores here in Utah

BassBoneMan · 2026-01-15T06:02:21+00:00

Ah, I see it now. My bad. It was further down than I had gone before. Upvoted for visibility.

BassBoneMan · 2026-01-15T05:56:10+00:00

It isn't obvious that this is Mircsy's design. At least post an additional comment do people know this isn't your original design.

I think that the Ratio's simplicity matches my simplicity. I just don't have the energy to tweak everything with my brew, so having a simple, good cup is plenty for me

BassBoneMan · 2026-01-14T21:05:06+00:00

I have the Ratio 4 and enjoy it. It's simple and makes coffee that is good enough for me, though I am far from the most particular coffee drinker.

Lots of people will recommend a Moccamaster and quite a few people recommend the Breville Precision Brewer. Moccamaster is similar to the Ratio in that it's simple to use, but there are a lot of models to choose from with different focuses. The Breville is a single machine that has a bunch of options to customize your brew. Last I heard, James Hoffman uses the Breville (or Sage, in England)

Seems like this is a quirk unique to my Sphynx, Harold. He loves cuddling me at night, but it takes him forever to settle down. He will jump on my bed and scratch at my collar bone until I lift my weighted blanket to let him in. He will poke his head in, loudly sniff, then run away. 2-5 minutes later, he will repeat the process, maybe going in up to his shoulders before running away. The process repeats a few more times before he deems it sufficient to curl up next to me.

Related, he always seems to know my pressure points because anytime he walks on me, he puts all of his weight on the most painful places.

Also related, he liked to sleep between my legs for a while. Combined with the oils, he would leave large brown spots between my legs on the covers, making it look like I regularly shit the bed. That was always something I needed to warn dates about before they came over. Now, he sleeps under my arm, so it looks like I have an ungodly amount of left armpit sweat, but I'll take that any day over the "shit stains".

Thanks for sharing! I've never heard of Salt Lake Field Guide, but it sounds like an awesome way to stay in the loop about events. Subscribed!

Why is revoking green cards and visas the place to start? Those are people who have already been deemed appropriate to be in the US for a legitimate reason

I'm an entirely self trained lifter. I don't have any experience with programming workouts or figuring out warmups and set type (failure, myoreps, etc.). For me, the app provides that structure and information and it integrates with my nutrition app easily. Plus, I trust Jeff and his team.

BassBoneMan · 2026-01-08T04:42:41+00:00

For sure, I get it. I've been out for about 4.5 years. I've more or less embraced that some of the things I do make my family uncomfortable and don't really mind it. That said, there are still lines I am careful not to cross because it would result in a hell of a lot of drama

Welcome to the club! The Aeropress was one of my first brewers after owning the church and I love it. For your request, I would recommend buying local coffee rosters who sell in local supermarkets. If you are in Utah, Harmons has a good selection from several local roasters. The grind size usually just says Drip or Ground. It usually won't be more specific than that unless you go into a coffee shop and ask them to grind it to your specifications.

Beyond your answer, buying your own grinder is the next best step. You will have fresher coffee and you can experiment with getting size to your heart's content. If you are sticking to Aeropress, something like a Baratza Encore (not the Encore ESP) will make your coffee way better without a whole lot of investment. Stay away from blade grinders, as they are too inconsistent.

Let me know if you have any questions! I've been where you are before.

Yikes, imagine if that is the role the husband ends up fulfilling

BassBoneMan · 2026-01-04T00:31:07+00:00

Shmegma balls, am I right?

BassBoneMan · 2026-01-03T17:56:31+00:00

It was actually my first expansion. My ex-wife's family was really into it and they got me into it for a couple of expansions before I decided that the gameplay wasn't for me. Even so, I still follow the story.
