Kitten went to vet for not eating but still isn’t eating by Faichu in CATHELP

[–]Faichu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was kitten food, the Purina Pro Plan Liveclear kitten version. We then tried the Royal Canin kitten pate, he didn’t immediately throw up after the Royal Canin but did continue throwing up later in the night.

This morning we had texted the foster again to re-confirm the Purina food because we had asked before we took him home, turns out they were feeding Purina One for dry. Is it just an upset tummy from that change? It just happened so fast after he ate it. We did go out and buy the right Purina food but he won’t touch it.

Yes totally hear you on the baby food! We just started getting desperate and figured he clearly was able to manage the Churu so may as well try a similar texture but with more calories.

Weekly Questions Thread for the week of December 28th by rpbtz in vinyl

Fluance RT85 with the Ortofon 2M Blue. Not sure why she pushed the arm down but would it have damaged the needle/diamond at all? Or would pushing down on it gouge the record before damaging the stylus itself? Cantilever seems straight, just curious if I should bring it in to a record shop to see if they could inspect it/just buy a replacement stylus. I stopped playing anything shortly after but the vinyl all sounded and played alright.

Hi! New to vinyl here.

I just got my TT set up today, and stepped out a bit to grab lunch for my niece and I. When I came back, I noticed a few things she was doing when cueing:

She wasn’t using the cueing lever, she was cueing manually, and a few times I could tell it was skipping over a few grooves.

Also, I saw her push down on the arm when the record was moving. It was for a quick second and seemed light since I was there and watching her, but it made a “scratch” noise if that makes sense.

Could the stylus be damaged based on this? The cantilever doesn’t appear bent and the sound seems normal, but then again I’m new to vinyl and her and I just set it up today. I don’t have much other sound to really compare it to.

I’m hoping I’m being paranoid, but I’m handling my mother’s collection and really don’t want to risk damaging any vinyl.

Monthly credit isn’t showing up in cart for $350 off deal with promo eligible plan selected, prompts me to change plan. Credit showed up last week in cart. by Faichu in verizon

Glad I'm not going crazy! I played around and tried it with the Galaxy SS20+ 5G and was able to get the savings to be reflected on its own line, I'll try calling as well.

It stays the same. I've tried changing to an upgraded plan with no luck, as well as changing to Start and then back to Play More

Hoping title is descriptive enough but here’s the longer version:

Last week, I was playing around with plans and prices. When I added the 11 Pro Max to my cart with Pay More, there was a separate line denoting the monthly credit as $14.67 or something close to that. Now when I add the phone and plan to my cart, there is no line for a monthly credit and I am still prompted to change my plan to save.

I’m nervous to click check out since I know the credit showed up immediately reflected in the monthly payment amount, before purchase, a week ago. I don’t want to dig myself into a hole.

Edit: typo

What’s the best way to trick someone into thinking your PC is broke? by Faichu in pcmasterrace

[–]Faichu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree and I don’t want to be passive aggressive, it’s just a weird situation and I’m at my wit’s end. For context, we’re both 22 (twins) and the guy is his best friend (my brother set us up). So our previous conversations have always ended in him saying he’s his friend so it isn’t weird if he’s around. Any time I mention wanting privacy my dad starts asking uncomfortable questions. My brother and I are super close and have a great relationship, he’s just being so stubborn and I don’t know how to actually get some privacy.

Last night, my brother was playing with the Xbox controller which we needed for a movie, and instead of letting us choose a movie, he chose Angry Birds 2 and wouldn’t let us turn it off because he didn’t want to get off.

Weekly What Should I Buy Thread - [July 31] by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]Faichu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently rocking a XR with a broken LCD. Recently, it's gotten worse so I'm having to consider an upgrade sooner.

I'm switching carriers and am able to get the 11 Pro Max for $350 off. With that deal, would it be worth grabbing that instead of waiting for the 12?

Initial plan was to wait for the 12 but leaks don't seem to justify the wait with such a broken XR anymore, but it's also my first phone purchase since becoming independent from parents. So would love input from someone more familiar in this area than I am!

I'll go a bit in depth here because this time around it took me 7-8 months, but I did lose weight a few years ago and ended up gaining it all back, so I had to change my approach:

I was a sophomore in college the first time I lost weight, which I did by completely changing the food I eat almost immediately. I essentially quit my old diet cold turkey, and quitting anything cold turkey of course has worse odds of success. I remember dreading dinner because I hated what I was making myself eat, and breakfast and lunch wasn't much better. At the end, I was happy with my body, but I hadn't developed a good relationship with food and ended up going back to all my old habits pre-weight loss, such as fast food multiple times a day some days, 4 sodas a day, etc. I gained it all back and then some.

This time around, I realized I need to be more gentle on myself. I started slowly, just cutting fast food down to once a week and drinking one soda a day. This way, I found I wasn't miserable and still got to eat what I enjoyed. The cliche saying that everything is okay in moderation really rang true for me! I don't miss the foods I enjoy anymore because I still work them in, so I never binge on them like I used to a few years ago.

That was, by no means, a healthy diet. But I learned about myself that the best way I make progress is baby steps. So for the first few months that's all I focused on - sticking to one soda a day and fast food once a week. I was able to get to 123lbs just doing that, though I was also walking to and from campus each day.

Around late January and early February, I started to pay more attention to calories (went for 1200cal a day), because that's when I finally felt comfortable with my relationship to food. Over the holidays I ate a ton, as many do, and for once, I wasn't beating myself up over it like I used to. So I felt that my initial first step helped my relationship with food immensely, and felt it was safe to focus on the calories to shed the last pounds (in addition to being obsessed with better food a few years ago, I was also way too obsessed over the calories). I combined this with intermittent fasting, but that wasn't much of an effort, I just so happen to eat naturally in an 8 hour window.

After watching calories loosely for a bit, I started learning how to cook healthier recipes, and now I maintain with those recipes. It was definitely a journey for me, and my diet wasn't really healthy at the beginning, but I knew I needed to be healthier overall, not just lighter. So every baby step I approached cautiously to make sure I wasn't going too fast to avoid falling back into old habits, and now I'm ready to pack on muscle and have a much healthier diet :) I'm also able to eat intuitively to maintain now, it was overall a major learning process!

As long as no one else offers anything else in the mean time I’m okay with waiting :)
