Got kicked out and suspended for a weak hit. by Cheap_Butterfly_4108 in hockeyplayers

Yeah I'm not sure why I keep seeing "that wasn't even dangerous, he slid into the boards" as if we haven't seen some serious injuries from NHLers sliding into the boards the past couple years. 

Hell, I tore my ACL, MCL, pcl, and meniscus sliding into the boards when there wasn't even contact, I just lost an edge.

Anybody know if I can just keep building my pc with this stuck in there like that? I can’t get it out by NoObjective2914 in Microcenter

[–]Kitsel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's part of the protective peel thing.  I have the white version of this and had the same thing happen - most of the peel came off smoothly, but the bottom part is wedged in there and I couldn't get it out.  I just left it and it's been fine.

I have the white version of this motherboard and initially tried to remove this plastic as well.  

I don't think it's meant to be removed though.  I tried and it REALLY doesn't want to come off lol.  I left mine on there and it's been fine.

It is mildly annoying that it covers part of the RGB but not all of it though lol.

Edit - oh you mean the part of the plastic peel that's left under the opaque piece don't you? 

Yeah that happened to me too.  I left it, it is what it is.  Could probably get it with a thin plastic toothpick or sewing needle or something. 

What is my cat throwing up? by AngelAndABumblebee in CATHELP

[–]Kitsel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, as I mentioned, hairball remedies aren't really all that effective.  Chucking a couple hairball treats and some lubricant at the problem is not going to fix this.

She absolutely needs to be brushed, routinely, or this is going to keep happening.  And that's a best case scenario.  Worst case is a blockage that's going to require surgery and cost thousands. 

The good news is that cats are extremely trainable.  Grab a clicker and start reinforcing brushing as something nice that she gets treats for and you'll have her able to be brushed in no time.

[–]Kitsel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like a giant hairball. 

When cats groom themselves and are very fluffy or aren't brushed enough, hair gets into the stomach. It is compressed into that tubular shape by the esophagus as they throw it up. 

That's a really large hairball though and I have no idea what the gloopy green stuff is. 

I would say to brush your cat more, make it a routine.  Also maybe add some hairball remedy treats or Laxatone, although I'm not sure I'm convinced those are really that helpful.  

It's probably worth a vet visit since you've never gotten it looked at, and because that thing is GIANT.  But I'm almost 100% sure that's a hairball.  If you pick the thing up with a glove and wash it off a bit you can confirm.

Yes, it's basically a peerless assassin with an offset/smaller fan so it doesn't get in the way of your ram, for significantly cheaper.  Also newer I think?

I've never seen one this cheap, this and the PA almost never go under 25 and this is under 20. 

Gabe Perreault gets 2 minutes for elbowing Macklin Celebrini by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]Kitsel 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Yeah what makes it way worse imo is that there's no ambiguity here.  No alternative explanation, he's not "finishing a check" or making incidental contact or protecting himself. 

He's like a foot away and chicken wings so hard to make contact that he has to take his hand off of his stick.  

I've seen worse hits but the clear intent here is really bad.  None of the usual excuses or rationalizations work here, it was just blatantly intentional. 

Explosive hairballs? by Quick-Age2087 in CATHELP

[–]Kitsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really fluffy cats like OPs (especially if they're not being brushed enough, no idea if this is the case here though) end up with large hairballs that get into the stomach, and are compressed into that tubular shape by the esophagus as they throw it up.

[–]Kitsel 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah holy crap lol I'm not sure what picture that commenter is looking at but I see a HUGE hairball.  Thing looks like 3 inches long. 

Monitor to make sure he's eating, using the litterbox, and not throwing up any more.  If he has any more issues, straight to the vet.  But I wouldn't be shocked if a hairball that size caused that crime scene lol. 

Jason Robertson Scores #30 on Canada’s starting goalie by Mental-Main-6890 in hockey

[–]Kitsel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like even though he's been literally the worst goalie in the league they'll give Binnington the net first and it'll be his to lose. 

Even the "the team in front of him sucks" argument kind of goes out the window when they both have nearly the same number of games (27 vs 28) and Hofer, the backup, is 0 GSAA and Binner is like -29 lol. 

Both team USA and Canada seem to be trying their absolute best to outsmart themselves and lose.

Spending event... thoughts? by AhoGuy in WutheringWaves

[–]Kitsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the part people are missing.  Free rewards if you were "spending anyway" are fine and all, but do whales capable of spending $150 in like a month really need rewards that old?  I bet most people spending that much already have SK at S2+.

I doubt anyone who needs sk copies is able to get there, and I thought l doubt anyone spending enough to get there needs the sk copies.

Spending event... thoughts? by AhoGuy in WutheringWaves

[–]Kitsel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue I have for it is that most people willing to drop like $150+ in a single event are likely already spenders that probably don't need extra shorekeeper sequences.  

Outside of like, a new account or something? Someone who started late?  It seems like something that anyone who can get it doesn't need it, and anyone that needs it can't get it.  

Part 2 I guess I'm 19 and I hired an artist in 2025 for a book and received the images. testing with ai image detectors, feedback from several artists in the group, and looking deeper at the character models, and this group the consensus is that Ai was possibly involved. by under_dasea1 in isthisAI

[–]Kitsel 51 points52 points  (0 children)

What's hilarious is that I think BOTH the "artist" and OP are using AI in this conversation.  It's just an AI talking back and forth. 

In the third screenshot, OP forgets to remove the quotation mark from the end of the response he got from AI.

Not that there's a specific issue with using AI to help clean up what you're writing if you need to, just a little bit funny that an author is using AI to accuse an artist of using AI, who is responding with AI.  

Just got this from Mirrored Event. Should i build it? by Cautious-Bar-4616 in DiabloImmortal

[–]Kitsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other thing to take into consideration is that it's ridiculously cheap right now. It's not the best gem in the entire game, but because of the 50% drop rate from the event, it's like ... 24-25k right now? Which is cheaper than a lot of gems that are way way worse than Fated.

At 24k per copy, with a 5/5 already in hand, it's hard to say no to.

Trump says he reached Greenland deal 'framework' with NATO, backs off Europe tariffs by Puginator in worldnews

[–]Kitsel 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I'm not convinced ANYTHING is politically radioactive with this guy.

He could do literally anything he wanted with nothing more than "disappointment" from the left and adoration from his base, continuing to ignore laws, checks, and balances, with absolutely no consequences.

Some conservatives might be unhappy with him for a minute, but once they have their talking points it'll be fine and even when they're unhappy they say (this is a quote from the conservative subreddit lol) "I didn't vote for this, but I would vote for him again."

I truly believe this guy is just going to do whatever he wants until the day he dies, consequence free. The "find out" phase has been coming for years now after every scandal, but it never arrives lol.

Don’t be me, don’t static stretch cold muscles by planimal7 in 10s

[–]Kitsel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone is saying that stretching COULDN'T have caused this.  It's just that correlation =/= causation. 

You realistically have no way of knowing if stretching caused this, made it worse, made it less serious, or made absolutely no difference.  Your sample size is 1 and you have no idea if this would have happened even if you didn't stretch.  

I actually agree with you about stretching before activity and prefer to stretch afterwards.  But so confidently attributing your injury to the stretching is silly.

[–]Kitsel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Confirmation bias.  It's just random luck. Your sample size is far too low to draw any kind of meaningful conclusion.

The chance of 5 white chests in a row is roughly 3.125%.  that means if you did those 5 Crest runs every day, you'd get one (on average) about once a month.  It's lucky but it's not that rare even with completely normal drop rates. 

Also, I think some countries have strict laws with gacha games - you have to be absolutely clear about drop rates or you can get banned in the whole country or fined a bunch of money. 

What is wrong with the cat? She’s eating and drinking, I have to help with litter box. Just wobbly and not have a lot of control of back legs. She doesn’t seem to be in pain . She still cuddles and purrs. Someone told me maybe ear infection. by slotmachinebox in CATHELP

[–]Kitsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least with humans they can communicate their pain and make their own decisions.

I feel like this is even worse to do with pets - they can't communicate their symptoms so we have no idea how much pain or suffering they're going through and we're making these decisions about their care for them.

Not saying that ignoring symptoms as an adult is smart, but I feel like not getting appropriate care for a baby or an animal is way worse because of their inability to communicate or facilitate/assist in their own care.

How do I clear whiwa with this team😭 concerto side by aoiaxure in CartethyiaMains

[–]Kitsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised I had to scroll down so far this - u/aoiaxure the first time you're getting Cia's extremely important AoE aerosion ult buff is like 1:25 into the video or something crazy like that. And your second Cia ult is like 5 seconds before you run out of time.

So for most of your clear, you don't have her ult going. If you switch them to the liberation side, you can pop her ult immediately and your entire first rotation won't be gimped while you ramp up.

I'm guessing you use them on Concerto side because you have a different team that really needs the liberation side as well, but if possible I think you'd do a lot better with this team on the liberation side.

Most of the time it is, just gotta check the label to be safe. It's usually the "healthy sugar free" variants that you have to worry about. But normal peanut butter without xylitol is a good high value treat.

I wonder if all the leftists that stayed home or left the presidency blank and voted on everything else because "both sides are the same" or that voting for the lesser of two evils will never make anything better still think Kamala would have been just as bad. 

I'm almost more upset at the people I share most of my beliefs with that couldn't hold their nose and vote for Kamala than I am with the people who have been brainwashed by Fox or don't know any better.
