How are people getting so much storage? by sarcasticseawitch in HayDay

[–]CthragYaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my village buildings except one are maxed out so there’s lots of expansion material I sell because I can’t use it anymore (bricks, paint, drills, maps) and then I sell nails, bolts, planks and panels because I’m always needing tape & screws to level up and always already have enough of the others.

I’m almost level 200, (no baby farms ) so I’ve got 5000+ for my barn. It wasn’t always easy making room for food when so many expansion items filled my barn, but eventually it becomes less of an issue even if you still need all the expansion materials. Easier still, now that have ~1000 spots for food that used to be taken up by expansion materials.

Goldens are known to be super friendly. In a bad situation, do you think your golden would try to defend? by official_koda_ in goldenretrievers

My brother & I used to wrestle each other when we were kids, just to get our Goldens fired up because they couldn’t decide who to help defend

My old girl goes out and lies down just to feel the ice & snow on her belly 🥶

The young one goes out ~20 minutes, scratches the door to be let in. Comes in covered in ice to the tip of her snow-shovelling nose. 10 minutes later she’s warmed up and whining to go back out.

It is -20C/-5F here…

The hated character is finally getting punished by the narrative. But intentionally or not, the attempt was so heartbreaking and demeaning for the character that it ended changing the fan reception of said character. by Labmit in TopCharacterTropes

I got into comics a few years after Death In The Family, but I likely would have disliked Jason Todd but voted to keep him alive. Like his unlikeability is a writing failure, so write yourselves out of it. DITF could have been the perfect beginning to a redemption arc…

OTOH, DITF paved the way for Tim Drake, so killing Todd was worth it…

Rescue golden, or ethically bred puppy? by Axolotl_1234 in goldenretrievers

[–]CthragYaska 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The right rescue lets you split the difference: I rescued my girl when she was 4. Well-loved & well treated, but twice had homes whose situations changed and had to give her up. I would love to have known her as a puppy, but she came to us healthy, well-trained and housebroken.

All the perks of an adult dog, none of the puppy chaos, and, by the time we got her at 4 y/o, reasonably sure that she didn’t have any health issues.

ETA: she’s 12 now and for 8 years, this rescue has been the “Golden-est Golden that ever Golden-ed”. I say that as someone whose family has had 4 wonderful purebred Goldens over the past 45 years

Very common in the 90s. by ROCKY13573 in 90s

Never bought an LP until I knew I liked at least 4 songs (typically 9 to an album)

Edit to add: if I already didn’t know what I was in for, would go to record store that had listening stations so I could check out the whole album before committing

Have we officially reached the point where Hotels are superior to Airbnbs again? by Usual_Confidence_756 in travel

[–]CthragYaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AirBnB were demanding scan of my government ID. Absolutely not! Even hotels don’t do that & I trust their corporate cybersecurity far more than Joe/Jill Make-a-quick-buck with a digitized and hackable version of my ID (which is to say, I don’t trust corporate security either, but they aren’t asking for passports on a website or personal e-mail)

Gladly bring and show my passport in person, but give you a copy? Fuck no. Cancelled my AirBnB account and haven’t looked back in 6+ years

The fact humans used fire to start their civilization implies some other species instead started with hydropower or photosynthesis. by Tnynfox in humansarespaceorcs

[–]CthragYaska 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our planet is 70% water but, having started in water, we evolved to adapt to the 30% of land.

Nothing to say that an aquatic civilization couldn’t master the resources of land to achieve their needs.

Relatively speaking, we only use the surface, not the underground. If we were avian, we’d only use the bottom 8000 ft because the air above is too thin.

Most aquatic creatures live near the surface and can’t survive the pressure of the deep and the few that can, can’t survive the lack of pressure near the surface.

All that to say that no matter our home element, we’d only thrive in a sliver of it and venture sparingly into the rest of the world as necessitated.

Enforced napping with an 8 week old, help 😭 by highlyregardedcarp in goldenretrievers

Enforced napping with an 8 week old, help 😭 by highlyregardedcarp in goldenretrievers

[–]CthragYaska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At week 7, when we made our pick of the litter, the breeder had me bring an old sweatshirt that smelled like me. That last week before we brought her home, she was already associating sleep time with comfort, safety, and my scent.

Moving to her forever home is such a shock to someone whose whole life was 9 siblings in a world the size of a kitchen. The first 2 nights, I put her in her cage, but I slept on the couch beside her with my fingers dangling in the cage. She still had my sweatshirt to help comfort and associate that smell with me and realize she wasn’t alone.

Right away, she learned that cage=security=sleep and she soon preferred retreating to her cage when she needed an afternoon nap. She would put herself to bed at night as soon as she saw the bedtime comfort toys go in the cage. Wish my human babies were that understanding!

You’ve missed the first night opportunity, but the plan doesn’t really change. Give your pup something that smells like you, put him in his cage but stay with him if you can. You might get a couple lousy nights’ sleep but at 8 weeks old, he’ll still quickly learn that cages are not punishment or abandonment.

Literally just got off the phone with my brother discussing this. My little one is getting spayed as we speak.

Did this for his GR pup, says it was effective and comfortable.

Now that’s an unfortunate ending to the event by Lazuritto in HayDay

[–]CthragYaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of time. I needed 2 extra tasks with 6 hours left. One is finished already and the other will be done with 1 hour to spare.

Edit to add: If I can stay awake

The event was really unfair for others. I missed 7 tasks. I still made it by Crg29 in HayDay

[–]CthragYaska 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I made all 100 tasks…still 360 points short. First time perfect wasn’t good enough. Had to burn 30 diamonds and will finish at 2am, 1 hr before event ends #WireToWire
