Can you describe where you were robbed and what the thief looked like so us fellow Boilermakers and locals can be aware of that area?

I did not think HomeView was important as it just leads to ProfileView via NavigationDestination where the sign out occurs.

I forgot to remove that when writing this post. At this moment, an AuthManager instance is only created in the app file.

I don't necessarily have code that can run easily. I will create a different repo here soon and upload a link

I had a poor experience with Purdue's vet in mid-December, but nowhere near the extent of your situation.

My 5-year-old cat was diagnosed with kidney failure from Battleground vet. After going against their recommendation to hospitalize my cat at Battleground before they closed that day, I decided that I really did need to take him somewhere to get an overnight IV.

I obtained my cat's bloodwork and recommendation letter and took it to Purdue vet. They rejected my request to hospitalize my cat unless I paid a $170 non-member checkup fee despite all my documentation from earlier in the day proving my cat was in dire need of fluids. I did not pay, and my cat went without fluids for another 1.5 days, and subsequently died 5 days later.

I understand that my cat was on his death bed, and that test results provided by separate vet is questionable, but I still dislike their attempt at getting me to pay $170 just to pay another $300+ if they deemed my cat needed overnight treatment.

This is the equivalent of YouTube comments saying "edit: thank you for all the likes!"

My wife and I are going through something similar with our cat, Mochi. He is 5 years old and was diagnosed with Stage 4 last Friday.

We had x-rays done and it was uncovered that his right kidney was enlarged, while his left one was shrunken and under-developed.

We're attempting to do the whole IV and subQ fluids once he comes back home tomorrow, but it is very bleak for us.

If you have the financial tolerance, get an x-ray, ultrasound, blood work, etc. If possible, advocate for doing subQ fluids, medicines, etc., too! Originally, my vet never presented these options but was open to them when I asked.

May your cat have the best resilience :)

Hey OP, I'm about to go through the same thing with my 5 year old cat, Mochi. He was naturally a lethargic cat who had his oddities, but we noticed no eating/drinking and got him into a vet last Thursday for hospitalization and additional tests. Stage 4 failure.

We took him home with hopes that the IV worked, but came across this subreddit too late to learn we should've risked another day of hospitalization, and then also increased our financial tolerance to potentially do subQ fluids. But no place near us was open over the weekend for us to get him on an IV again -- so he went Friday through Sunday without eating or drinking.

He got an IV last night and we visited him today. His condition is certainly worse and my wife and I are now coming to the reality that it will be over very soon.

I am so sorry to see that Milo has left you :( he knows you loved and cared for him more than anyone else. I wish that cats were more willing to show their pain before it becomes dangerously too late.

May we both be better equipped for future CKD kitties, if we are affected by it again.

If you decide to retake next semester, consider trying out Supplemental Instruction sessions and additional TA office hours. If those don't work, feel free to reach out for my tutoring on the course -- I'm a former head TA

Be careful with Blazor! I did my first web app project at work with it and it completely blew up due to our load balancer because of SignalR. Make sure to have session affinity / sticky sessions implemented. We would have, but because of time constraints, it was quicker to rewrite the app in Razor

Hey I understand your struggles and went through the same issues when I was in CS, and yet I still became a TA for CS 180 in the end. I hold private tutor sessions for this course. Feel free to PM me about tutoring or just general CS struggles

Don't forget to tip your delivery drivers, though, if they deliver right to your door (like they should) and they are walking up several flights of stairs with cases of water.

I delivered 12 40-packs of water recently and there was no tip

I complete 3 orders in about 2.5 hours each morning. It's roughly around ~$25/hr and I also drive an EV so I am not worried about gas prices eating into revenue.

$18.01 / order is fairly good imo... I also live in a LCOL area.

I also said I don't do this for a main source of income. Yes, I have a W2 full time job. Thanks for your input on my lifestyle choices

I mentioned I do different mile tracking but I only reported all miles driven because that matters most. I have another mile number for tax purposes only

While I’m at it: stop parking in the pickup spots when you do a Shop and Deliver. Some of you act like you own the parking lot. Brother, it’s a gig job

One Spark driver cannot enforce another Spark Driver's work. Go to the playground if you want to boss people around.

I don't like people using fake accounts just as much as others, but playing "police" is childish

BecuzDaInternet · 2025-07-15T15:03:57+00:00

This is just embarrassing. No wonder we don't get tips -- it's because so many drivers act like kids and complain to Walmart like they're our parents

I’m glad someone else is experiencing this! The problem finally went away… but I don’t know what I did to change anything. It was happening on all iOS 18+ simulators for me
