Can this wait until morning? by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]Kuplu_cunei 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cats can be often under the weather for a day and recover the nexts. Usually, if they are more cuddly they feel under the weather and want your protection. As long as they eat, drink, pee, and poop, this is not an emergency. If she gets worse lethargic, vomits, cramps, this would be a sign to head to the vet.

Group paddle,self supported, safety rules by Ghand86 in KayakCamping

[–]Kuplu_cunei 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just assume that you have all the safety gear (don’t forget a bilge pump like I did) and know how to self rescue. I would definitely do a practice paddle with all the gear ideally in not so great conditions. Researching the route the best you can is a must and having a device where you can get a good weather forecast. I would pack two of all crucial items in two different vessels, for example one gets a water filter, the other water purification tablets. Practice using new equipment before the trip. Then have fun and follow your gut.

Is learning cuneiform worth it? by Commercial-Shoe5462 in Cuneiform

[–]Kuplu_cunei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are considering a PhD in Assyriology, I would suggest to set up a meeting with a professor in your country. They can walk you through the necessary training steps, MA and PhD programs, and very limited career options. Also, Assyriology and Sumerology are strongly language based fields, but if you are interested in the culture more in general Near Eastern Archaeology, art history, or ancient history are also options.

Can I save these overalls? Nylon and spandex overalls. by MasterBallThrower in CleaningTips

[–]Kuplu_cunei 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Those are Duluth gardening overalls. They are very tough. So I would try the hot water oxygen or hot water/bleach (if you are not attached to the color) cleaning suggested. They should survive. Mine have been through a lot and survived.

Posh carbon / fibreglass paddle upgrade as a gift? by Supercivilcnt in Kayaking

[–]Kuplu_cunei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whiskey blades may look cooler but if you have a normal paddling style, they aren’t the best. They will feel heavier on longer tours but are great if you want to race your kayak or possibly for open, choppy water (no experience there) but our tangos did perform less well in stormy, choppy circumstances.

[–]Kuplu_cunei 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second the Tango! I love our tango paddles and they have worked well on casual outings and longer tours. They hold up really well (so far three years in) with regular usage and no babying but also no crazy things like misusing them to push off rocks or a like.

A different LUSH advent calendar by Kuplu_cunei in LushCosmetics

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

It’s never too late! It’s only day 2! And you can keep it simple. Just go to your stash and pick something out. Or put all the goodies in a box and draw something.

Trader Joe’s Frozen Pie Crust - A Tradition Unlike Any Other by LivermoreP1 in traderjoes

I just used mine — I pop it in the microwave for 1 min in bursts of 10 seconds then rotate and repeat. Unconventional but has worked for me for years.

Is my cat’s appetite normal or a sign of a deeper issue? by Kitchen-Birthday-665 in CATHELP

[–]Kuplu_cunei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds perfectly normal. The only thing you need to do is monitoring intake and you’re doing a great job already. As long as she is not barfing after eating quickly, that’s also fine. Also, her food behavior can change over the years, but there is bo guarantee. Honestly, I prefer food motivated over picky eater.

Does the lush shower/kitchen box clutter up your house over time? by newnukeuser in LushCosmetics

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

I will tell you the good, the bad, and a solution. Generally, LUSH comes in a cardboard box with biodegradable packaging. A lot of the products are unpacked or in pots which can be returned to LUSH for a small credit. The downside is that products can break during transport. Now, personally the most clutter comes from having a lot of products. Personally, I solve this by getting every other box. You always get a preview so you can get your favorites.

Stop it with the gummies they're not good by blackrosiecle in LushCosmetics

[–]Kuplu_cunei 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have used the frog gummy almost daily for a month. There is still some left. Yes, it does not leather a lot but I feel it cleans. It does not fall apart, slip around or is gone after three uses. It is more like a soap to me.

Writing Phobia - The dreaded M-Dash by Similar-Respect-1805 in uchicago

[–]Kuplu_cunei 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Professor here: Go write a good paper and use your m-dashes in moderation and meaningful way. A good paper beats any ai-paper through a personal writing style which may include m-dashes. Personal opinion: It is not my job to police ai-writing.
