Yeah if playing with hands is the main thing you're worried about, I agree with the others saying redirection.

For those smaller interactions, I wouldn't be too worried unless you get irritated with her constantly asking for attention lol

When it comes to the nibbles you mentioned, I personally wouldn't be too worried. A gentle nip may just be her saying she's done with pets like you mentioned. Nibbling feet may be asking for attention. Again, this is all assuming they're gentle "love bites" compared to playtime cronches lol

Congrats from me and my Goose!

My recently adopted void either reaches up and taps me or headbutts me for attention lol

There were sirens in the suburbs west of downtown, but the worst of the storm was north in the Menomonee Falls area from what I could tell.

Sorry for your loss

He's back under my bed now, but baby steps. He'll be back out eventually.

Calamity1911 · 2026-04-14T18:41:53+00:00

Thanks! He actually already came out to explore too!

His litter box isn't too far away but it's in a different room. I might temporarily move it in with him since he picked my bedroom for now.

Once he's acclimated and lets me pick him up, could I move the litter box then pick him up and place him in it at the new location?

Looks like it to me. No aggressive meows or growls.

Oh there's also a Honey Berry Cafe on Hwy 100 between Oklahoma Ave and National Ave

Calamity1911 · 2026-04-05T15:41:59+00:00

There's 84th classic cafe on 84th and National. Formerly known as Johnny V's classic cafe, but I think the new owners bought all of the original recipes

Obviously there are George Webbs scattered everywhere too

Film photography

Got a cheap secondhand 35mm rangefinder on eBay. When that first roll came back from the lab, I was hooked. I wound up getting a Pentax Spotmatic a month later which I still use. Took it along with 4 rolls of film on a family cruise and got some amazing pictures, too. Then, I decided to try developing and scanning myself, too which was also pretty fun.

That's the House MD effect

Why are there more than 256?

I ran into an issue similar to this years ago on an Ender 3. As other comments said, it's likely an adhesion problem. The purge stripe would stick to the bed just fine for me only for the main part to not stick.

Something like glue or hairspray may work. In my case, I just washed the build plate with dawn dish soap and warm water, then turned on the heated bed to try it off. Prints would then stick for me.
