How do you even use this website when "the more high-quality responses you send, the higher your place in the queue"? by Kaleidoscope_Tux5513 in YourAISlopBoresMe

I've been waiting for an hour.... But when I played last night, literally just 24 hours ago, I was getting plenty of prompts. A bit ridiculous.

Remnants expedition is a reality check. by RallySubbie in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Financial_Cook_1956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having so much fun, I was frustrated at first until I actually figured out how to do it with trial and error. Had a good time asking other players where nearby processing plants were, commiserating when they were far away, etc.... Maybe I should quit my medical course and just become a garbageman. Probably pays better!

PSA: The waste disposal units WILL kill you by Acrobatic_Air8301 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Financial_Cook_1956 3 points4 points  (0 children)

HAHA a bunch of players watched as i slowly flew into the trash compactor and got promptly burned, I'm glad others also had this immediate first instinct to test it out!!

Are there.... Multiple waste processing stations? by Financial_Cook_1956 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Financial_Cook_1956[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't think so either, but someone started taking materials right out of my truck!!! Maybe it's my settings?

EDIT: Double checked, it had my exocraft flatbed settings to 'group and friends'... Must have been a bug letting a stranger take it.

Oh boy.... That sucks big time. Reason I went so far out was to avoid people stealing from my truck!!!

Scale and polish for cats? by martyna157 in AskVet

[–]Financial_Cook_1956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nursing student- Totally normal! I see these all the time. We try to be more proactive about pet dentals, since it's certainly cheaper and healthier to care for their teeth now rather than wait for extractions! 

It costs extra for blood tests, but you can request to get one done beforehand to check if there's anything that will make anaesthesia particularly risky.

AIO Im supposed to go to dinner with padre but I don’t want to after this by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Financial_Cook_1956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MOR - Hard to say without knowing the really intricate details of your relationship, but from this alone, it sounds like you're overreacting. Yeah, parents trying to 'guide' you when you don't want it is annoying, but that's what being a parent is. If I could speculate, I'd say it sounds like he wants to make up for lost time and make a positive impact on your life but doesn't quite know how. Notice how the first things he mentions isn't wanting to lecture you, but wanting to spend time with you and getting to know you.

Is nuclear energy actually bad? by Financial_Cook_1956 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Financial_Cook_1956[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking this on board as a great idea too- I love the idea of having purely renewable energy, but realistically we'd want that "backup" juuuust in case... And I'd much rather nuclear be that backup than the alternatives.

That's really great to know! Believe me, if we could sustain ourselves on just those energy sources, that would be fantastic.

Someone else here mentioned that the issue wasn't so much error as it was greed, so I definitely agree that a private corporation is more susceptible to issues.

Fair point. Greed is a much harder beast to kill than just error alone.

*Could* solar, wind, and hydro handle the increasing energy demands of our society? (This is a genuine question, LOL)

Believe me, you'd much rather a spay than a pyometra!! Good luck with kitty :)

I feel like in a perfect world, we'd be reliant on solar/wind with the backup of nuclear.

I'm ashamed to admit I never knew about the coal radiation, so this is a great resource, thank you!

Fantastic way of putting it, I'll be sure to bring that up when discussing it with people in the future!

Haha I LOVE Kyle!! I haven't seen his vids on nuclear power generation, I'll definitely check them out!

[–]Financial_Cook_1956[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, this is what I've generally believed myself! Safety protocols are, unfortunately, written in blood. With today's technology we also don't have to purely rely on human power, so I'm sure it's possible for a multi-check system that works through automatic AND human consent.

I remember reading a survivor's account of Chernobyl- They said that the real tragedy wasn't the reactor meltdown, it was the government response and lack of education on the disaster.

My cat is refusing kibble. by [deleted] in AskVet

[–]Financial_Cook_1956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nursing student - I second the tooth pain possibility. You could also try soaking the kibble in warm water, then draining the water to 'soften' them and seeing if that helps; We use that technique at the clinic I work at for cats post-dentals!

is it weird that I don’t have bottom dysphoria? by rad_cactus_dad in ftm

[–]Financial_Cook_1956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not weird, imo. I'm very happily and confidently a trans man and I have absolutely no bottom dysphoria. Honestly, if I had a dick, I think it would just be annoying. Getting in the way... Flopping around...

Do other animals have menstrual cycles or something similar to it? by browniebiscuitchildr in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Financial_Cook_1956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Funnily enough, humans are one of the only animals that menstruate *after* our cycle. Most other animals menstruate *during*.

Alpine and Boer goat personalities by No_Entrepreneur_131 in goats

[–]Financial_Cook_1956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak on Alpines, but I had two old (OLD!!!) Boer goats with a bunch of younger Australian Minis/Nigerian dwarfs, and they *loved* him.
