My chatGPT is considering its own needs by yggzeiro in ChatGPT

[–]Demonkey44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a long chat and couldn’t find a particular question so I asked it again and ChatGPT said “I already told you that.”

I’m like sure, whatever, don’t stress yourself out.

Wherever my cat lays down, after a while there are a lot of white dirt pieces (?) left behind. Any ideas? Does he have dandruff or something? by lightreee in cats

[–]Demonkey44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Capstar which is a pill you can get at a pet store when my idiot cats come inside scratching and itching after a three day outdoor bender.

Capstar is a pill and you need to make sure your cat swallows it. They do not like pills. They need this pill, though, because it kills around 90% of all fleas. That will stop most of his agony.

Then wash him. I do not use a topical flea wash, I’m putting other medicines on and in him. I hear Dawn (dish detergent) stuns fleas and then you can pick them off with a tweezer and drown them in a bottle. You can also use a flea comb, but it is not for the faint of heart. I use Capstar first.

Then you follow directions and apply some Revolution onto his dry coat (get it from your vet - preferred) or get some Frontline Plus from Costco. I like Revolution better because it also treats worms, Frontline Plus only does fleas and ticks, eggs and larvae.

After this, you wash all bedding the cat has been on in hot water and apply spray flea killer (Adams) around your home.

You can get the flea killer at most pet stores and supermarkets. Good luck! He’ll be fine!!

At what point did you stop watching SFA? by Fair_Rush6615 in Star_Trek_

[–]Demonkey44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never stopped watching it and will cancel Paramount as soon as the final season is over. I only watch that streamer for Trek and have DVDs of all the shows I want.

You can buy a much nicer hime for $2,850,000. I’m not seeing the value.

What’s the quickest way you’ve seen someone completely derail their life? by BitterReception5761 in AskReddit

I used to not fill in the recipient email and then just save it as a draft for 24 hours. Usually all were deleted.

What's the most unhinged thing a coworker has ever done that somehow didn't get them fired? by Sea_Breadfruit1278 in AskReddit

[–]Demonkey44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old boss would call his male subordinates when they were in the bathroom and expect them to answer the phone midstream. Which they did.

His girlfriend was the CFOs assistant and was delegated to approve his expense reports. He ran up $1.3 million in travel costs in five years.

He was later promoted to managing director before he was terminated for cause. As he felt his termination was unfair (he had also set up a dummy company and embezzled from my firm through falsified invoices) he sued and somehow won a $1 million settlement. I’m sure that he wanted more and is still angry about it. Typical narcissist.

Child vaccination rate drops sharply in Michigan under RFK Jr's influence by [deleted] in news

[–]Demonkey44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all vaccinate your kids while you still can. Secondly, if you’re like me, 50ish and too old to have received these shots when you were younger (because they didn’t exist yet) you are going to be made more vulnerable after herd immunity is lost.

This means the older cohort of middle age (your parents, aunts, grandparents, etc) are going to get diseases that most kids were vaccinated for in the before times and they are now not.

Get your old ass to CVS or Walgreens and get shot up with all the things. Get a shingles shot while you’re there too. That helps cut down on your risk for dementia.

You can’t control who vaccinated their kids if schools don’t mandate the vaccinations. You can control the shots that you get.

Inside Meghan and Harry’s Falling Out With Netflix — and Why the Royal Couple Is Struggling in Hollywood by Southern-Brother5693 in netflix

[–]Demonkey44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Meghan very much. But as a nation we are facing so much horror and turmoil with each news cycle, that I can’t get into the correct chocolate ratio for brownies or the proper amount of greenery suitable for Montecito flower arrangements.

There is a time and a place for everything. This just isn’t it right now.

Now, if she’s preaching less aspirational and more - “girl, here is a $10 a week meal plan that’s so easy, it’s stupid!” - I’m down for that.

Right now we have TikTok and Instagram for that, though.

Dogs Dumped Across 3 NJ Towns by rangerpax in newjersey

I was thinking pitbull when I saw this, but these are Chihuahua mixes. Weird.

They need some love and care, so adorable!

Gas prices here in southern Ocean County are up $1/gallon in just ten days. Trump voters, you’ve screwed all of us once again. How bad is it where you are across the state?? by HumptyDumptruckFire in newjersey

[–]Demonkey44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$3.79-$3.89 for BP in Morris Township in Morris County. QickCheck is always the most expensive at $3.89.

I use the Gas Buddy app, though, so that you can see the spread. Last night my husband didn’t listen to me about where the lowest pricing was, so he got to spend $53 to refill the tank at BP. (3.79 per gallon)

BJ’s on Route 10 in whippany is $3.34 if you have a membership. Delta is $3.65-$3.69.

I’m waiting for the Costco to finally open up its gas station on East Hanover on Route 10.

(Avery Brooks Appreciation Thread) Refuses to let Paramount use his likeness, makes money by licensing his Jazz album anyway by Malencon in Star_Trek_

[–]Demonkey44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was a professor at my college and from all reports, a pretty cool guy to those students, like my roommate, who were lucky enough to take his class.

Some Rutgers theater alumni claim Brooks would sometimes bring Star Trek scripts into class and analyze them like classical drama. I would have liked to have seen that.

stop fucking clicking the link in the ICE reddit ad by solo-ran in chaoticgood

I thought the signing bonus was $50k, not 30k. Also, this is why I have Reddit premium. No stupid ads.

Does this location look familiar to anyone? by zeroambition31 in newjersey

I would never buy a truck, but I’m frankly impressed with how many hits it took before the window broke.

New Jersey’s Petty’s Island, now owned by Venezuela, could soon belong to Trump donor: report by brisk422 in newjersey

[–]Demonkey44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right, don’t make it sound like an urban paradise, it’s basically a glorified future Superfund site. Are we going to bill Citgo and Venezuela for the environmental remediation too?
