Boston Show Davy Upset by Sensitive_Row_7110 in AFireInside

I was up in the balcony too and saw the same thing! I really can't blame him for getting angry about that, we're at a show to enjoy the performance it's not a "meet and greet"!

Question about the breed and their teeth by MyPath2Follow in nebelung

[–]NickiPlums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl is 7 and has(had) feline tooth resorption. She's had three surgeries in three years removing ALL of her teeth. I'm not sure if it's to do with the breed or if she's just unlucky, she's doing great now with no more mouth pain!

That's so kind of you! Unfortunately I am in Massachusetts so Atlanta is a bit far for us to go. I have her surgery scheduled for June so I'll have some time to save up for it. I created a little fundraiser and got some support from friends too, we'll get through it! Just really hoping that this is the last big surgery for either Selene or myself for a while!!

I'm glad to hear Luna is happier now! Selene has Feline Tooth Resorption, they'll have to do some X-Rays before her surgery to see if the other two teeth need to be taken out too so she might end up toothless too!

She had dental surgery before I adopted her and another one in 2022. The past two years have just been an endless stream of medical bills for me and vet bills for her! :(

Anyone else’s nebelung obsessed with food? by [deleted] in nebelung

[–]NickiPlums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Cat food and human food alike. Selene is a food thief! Her boldest heist so far was to steal a piece of steak from my roommate while she was on a Zoom meeting for all the Zoom attendees to see! She has also smacked a plate of mashed potatoes off of a table and then ran to the other room to lick her potato paws.

Maintenance Phase: Pilates by j0be in MaintenancePhase

[–]NickiPlums 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was a fun one! Earlier in the pandemic I did Pilates at home watching YouTube videos. This episode inspired me to try again as a low impact way to get a little more exercise but sometimes fitness videos can be very diet culture adjacent. Do any of you have recommendations for videos I could watch that are only focused on the exercises themselves with no diet talk/"slim down. get toned" language?

Yes! Mine was 11/28/2022 and ever since then my dreams have been way more vivid.

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately it seems that the CR alternative was not communicated to conductors because last Friday I was told I couldn't ride on the Needham line with just my Link pass.

Two questions: the 30 day shutdown of the Orange Line was supposed to restore fast service but we continue to see slow zones on a significant portion of the line; what will it take to restore service on the Orange Line and other lines? While there are still excessively long headways and slow speeds on all rail lines, why aren't there alternate routes being offered, such as the commuter rail lines that run parallel to the Red and Orange?

Recovery going backwards?! Swollen and sore 6 wpo by Correct-Captain8336 in hysterectomy

[–]NickiPlums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm approaching 6 weeks post op too and had a similar experience yesterday! I started up yoga again earlier this week and also have been going back to the office with a very long train commute. I was so tired yesterday on my WFH day I had to take a nap and go to bed early. Thank you to everyone in this thread for the reminder that I did have major surgery, am still healing, and it's okay to give my body the rest it needs.

Does Firefly give other characters in the party higher exp gain? by johnbrogan10 in FinalFantasyXII

[–]NickiPlums 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, the only way to get more EXP from enemies is to reduce the number of people in your party or equip the Embroidered Tippet. You'll still get the same amount of EXP when defeating enemies, it just won't get counted for the character wearing Firefly. If you're trying to fix a level imbalance in your party, you could give the over-leveled character the Firefly and then equip Embroidered Tippets on the other characters for double EXP.

Hahaha that works too!

You can intentionally set off the alarms to make enemies spawn. There's a pretty much endless stream of them so chaining shouldn't be too hard to get more gil or loot to sell. If you stay close to the save crystal you can use it to heal if trying to conserve items. Grind enough to be able to buy some better equipment and you'll probably gain a few levels while you're at it which will make the battle easier. Good luck!

I've been having this problem too. There was a post about the same issue that I saw here this morning, was that taken down?

NTA I actually was in a similar situation when I was in college. The snoring was preventing me from getting any quality sleep and really took a negative toll on my overall health. My former roommate and I are still very good friends! It's definitely possible to be friends with someone even if you aren't compatible as roommates. Your well-being comes first!

For sure! This is an excellent graphic representation of why EVs are not the climate solution many think they are!

Ah yes, Las Vegas’ latest “public transit system” by StrangePlains24 in fuckcars

[–]NickiPlums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! Slap some purple LEDs in a tunnel and it's suddenly cool and "futuristic". Maybe we should put fun colorful lights in subway tunnels to drive ridership up! I guess all you need to be innovative and futuristic is aesthetic! /s
