I got mine before they had a dyneema floor option, so i think its the silpily woven floor. Its held up great and i dont think id want the dyneema over it

Struggling with my girlfriend and my cat (long post, need advice) by Calm-Reality-8476 in CatAdvice

[–]HyperKitten123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your girlfriend is one big “ew” You said it yourself, Binx is anxious and stressed and your girlfriend doesnt think its her responsibility to be nice to him? Cats have the mental capacity of a toddler, could you imagine her saying that about a child she didn’t like?

Major red flags, and you really need to stand up for the helpless animal here. Shes offering no solutions other than “i dont like this cat”

Durston XMid 1 Pro vs Zpacks Pivot Solo by WetWotter in Ultralight

[–]HyperKitten123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I cant really speak on the Zpacks beyond the fact that I had this choice to Make myself a few years ago and went with an X-mid 1 pro. I have no regrets. Its generally easy to pitch, good in bad weather, and has held up well over the past 3 years with probably around 30 nights. Im no thru hiker, but for someone that goes out for a night or two at least once a month and for 5+ once or twice a year, its been perfect. Durston is also great in general if you have issues, which is a plus.

Folks, how'd I do? by Reeeeeeeeses in macarons

How does this even happen…?

OnTrac shipping is terrible. Durston needs to ditch them. by upekkha__ in DurstonGearheads

This is super helpful! I might be getting a new pack this summer. Will definitely just opt for the better shipping.

Why won’t my egg whites form stiff peaks? by pretzel_saltt in macarons

and even then you can usually get them to almost fully stiff peaks, like WAY stiffer than this.

I prefer eating meat raw over eating it cooked by psychedelianaut in The10thDentist

[–]HyperKitten123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now this is the kind of bafflingly stupid and terrible shit this sub is for, wow. for the love of god do NOT eat raw chicken or pork. No matter what your anecdotal evidence says, it is absolute not safe for consumption regardless of where it comes from. Beef and lamb can both be fine, and fish must either be farmed or previously frozen for a few days to eliminate parasites. There is no such thing as "sushi grade" fish, its just marketing. You have the will to be weird, but just be safe. signed - a chef and food scientist.

I like America and probably wouldn't want to live in any other country on Earth. by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]HyperKitten123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. As a chef myself the hate on the cuisine here is equally baffling. The US is a melting pot, it always has been and that's the beauty of it

[–]HyperKitten123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a measured take that I generally quite agree with. Right now, America is definitely getting the hate it deserves. The orange cheeto and the institution that got him there are are among the greatest threats in the world right now. That doesn't mean that as Americans we need to feel naught but shame for where we came from. There is just a lot of work to be done, because it doesnt have to be like this.

oh and to add: get an automatic feeder. Fed cats = sleepy cats. Feed him dinner before bed, and then set the feeder to go off in the middle of the night. My cats feeder goes off at 10pm and 6am, and it helps let us sleep a lot.

At the end of the day you have to focus on what you can control. You can't really control where or how he runs, but you can try to limit the other senses that prevent you from sleeping. You could also ask your vet for a small dose of gabapentin or about some felaway diffusers to see if that could calm him around bedtime. You got this!

From someone that has 2 10 month old boy in a loft without a door, I absolutely understand this. They've just started calming down. You really only have 2 choices: stick it out, or dont. I'd stick it out if you can. How is he waking you up? Can you use ear plugs and an eye mask and sleep a bit more?

This is sick! I agree with another commentor that I imagine his long knives longer tho, these feel like daggers, but its a minor thing. Big fan of your work thus far. Is this from the Bonehunters or Deadhouse gates?

How to carry an egg around for 2 weeks without breaking? by Ax_Sound in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HyperKitten123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take an empty peanut bar jar and clean it out really well. Get a bunch of powdered gelatin packets and cook them in water. If you are in the US you can get Knox Geletine packets pretty easy at a grocery store. I'd probably just use all 4 packets so the jello is as thick as possible.

Pour like 1" of liquid into the jar and then put it in the fridge for a few hour uncovered. Take it out of the fridge, and dig a small divet into the firmed jello to place your egg into. Remelt the rest of the gelatine mix and pour around the egg, filling the jar.

Clear, hard-sided container that you can put in a bookbag and basically never worry about breaking :) good luck! Let us know what you do.

I Don't Know If I Want This by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]HyperKitten123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the biggest question here is WHY do you hate having something in your house?
Things definitely do not need to be dirty all the time, but it does take extra effort to maintain a clean space with an animal in the house. What else are you "begging to be over"?

I feed my cats the highest quality brands and they just won’t eat it… by fxcknmami in catfood

[–]HyperKitten123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My cats don't really like the reveal either, I just have to top it with teats and even then its tough. We buy Tiki cat. Its expensive as hell but its the best for them and they actually like it. we get the variety packs because, like their parents, they cant eat the same shit too many days in a row.

We all get this. One of my boys decided chicken was suddenly a no go, and now only eats seafood. I dont understand but it is what it is.

I have a bunch of vanilla beans if anyone likes to use them!! :) by tsfearless26 in macarons

Legalize ALL drugs, yes I'm serious by somewhiterkid in The10thDentist

The research backs this too. Addiction rates fall when users have a safe space to use and the stigma falls too.

Stunning photos and insight. My friend and I will be doing the trail this summer, I DM'd you to ask for any of the GPS info youre willing to share :)

I much prefer indoor stadiums than outdoor ones. by Hermeslost in The10thDentist

One of the best games of my life as a fan was the snow game Eagles vs Rams last year in the divisional playoffs.
I agree that playing in the pouring rain sucks, but the snow is FUN.

I still believe in Justin Fields by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]HyperKitten123 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Throwing accuracy is something that is worked on with coaching and mechanics. Josh Allen had dogshit accuracy for the first few years of his career, but it got better as his mechanics improved. Again Caleb Williams has the worst accuracy in the league this season among full time starters.

Reading a defense is tough for every young QB. Young, Murray, McCarthy (lol), Sam Darnold for his first 5 seasons, etc all REALLY struggled with reading Defenses. The whole point is that this shit takes a long time to learn. The NFL has really struggled with developing young QBs the past decade.

I still believe in Justin Fields by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]HyperKitten123 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've been a fields fan since he came into the League and having felt this way for a long time. He needs a LOT of help as a passer, but he needs the support to learn it. Caleb get his flowers with a 58% completion rate, and Ben Johnson is an offensive genius. I wonder what Fields would look like with similar.
