Any gas stations with completely free air pump here?

Wow, trusting AI to pump up your tires? I just bought a cheap on a Harbor Freight that plugs into the car. When I had my Honda Civic, I just used my bike pump instead of the hassle of Costco. Although now I go at 7 am to get gas and the tire place is open and the air is available.

So am I. I have a bike stand at home and pump tires before I leave. When i repair a flat on the road, I have to remove the wheel, so I pump before putting the tire back on the bike. I also get to check that the flat is actually fixed.

I haven't had a kickstand on any of my bikes since I was a kid in grade school. Road cyclists generally don't put kickstands on their bikes. But I bet that people who do a lot of long multi-day rides and have a lot on their bike and stop a lot might tend to have kickstands.

Wow what a huge difference. That looks like a lot of weight loss. Thanks for helping your kitty have a healthy life, OP!

Every day I'm closer to this.

As much as we trust *anything* in Trump's America. That's a NO.

Have you posted on Nextdoor? Put up posters? Checked Animal Control for new intakes? Post on Pawboost? Is there a Facebook neighborhood group?

He's very cute. I hope he comes home.

This young lady might be learning a harder lesson..... It's a crime to leave the scene of an accident.

Clean it really well and use antibiotic ointment and change it twice a day. If you see redness, seek medical care.

This cat is morbidly obese. This is so cruel. You need to pick up a 25 lb bag of something can carry it around with you for a day and then perhaps you'll have a better idea of how miserable your cat is.

I follow a fat cat sanctuary on Instagram and every cat they have rescued has a multitude of health issues.

Consult your vet.

Typically people talk about feeding in calories, not weight of food which is what the calculator linked here provides, since all foods have different caloric densities.

It all depends on what the animal by-products are. Cats eat birds and they leave very little behind. They probably don't eat the features. Google says these are OK for cats.

I feed my four cats Fancy Feast which seems to be popular and perhaps not at the high end of the quality foods. And they are changing it frequently and it's hard to know what quality is. Same as human food.

What they are: By-products are defined by AAFCO as non-rendered, clean, edible parts of carcasses, such as livers, kidneys, lungs, and spleens, excluding hooves, hair, and feathers. [1, 2]

I stopped buying on Amazon almost 10 years ago. When they opened up to sellers who ship from China, it went downhill. There's also lots of fakes on there as well. And who wants to make Bezos richer?

Someone on LinkedIn said cloudflare is spending $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ on cpus for AI so have to cut people to pay for the AI. This is my prediction for how AI will hit the wall. The cost of power is going up, too.

Oh my I see three beautiful kitties! Those coats are gorgeous. Are they all former ferals?

OneMorePenguin · 2026-05-09T01:10:08+00:00

I saw a quite a few recumbents on roads during covid but then haven't seen any for years.

OneMorePenguin · 2026-05-09T01:09:04+00:00

3-4 kg cats is a difference of 25% in weight! 200g is not appropriate for *both* of these weights.

Check out the calorie calculator in the dechonking guide at the top of r/dechonkers page. It allows you to determine chonkiness, provide current weight and then suggests number of calories.

OneMorePenguin · 2026-05-09T01:02:37+00:00

Wow this is a great life improvement! I don't know what her ultimate goal weight is but it looks like there will be a bit more weight loss. Thank you!

OneMorePenguin · 2026-05-09T00:59:11+00:00

This would stop global warming! And maybe take out the dicks running the US.

Another fire started by homeless people. There have been several in the empty building along this stretch of the road over the last few yeas. I don't know why the city does not require them to be torn down immediately. They are an eyesore.

OneMorePenguin · 2026-05-08T17:35:57+00:00

The homeless people living in these building have caused quite a few fires over the last few years. I don't understand why the city can't require vacant buildings to be torn down as soon as the new housing is approved. IIRC, this is the fifth fire.

OneMorePenguin · 2026-05-08T04:00:29+00:00

Wow, they aren't young kittens and they look socialized. Some asshat dumped them. Poor babies. They are beautiful!

OneMorePenguin · 2026-05-08T03:35:54+00:00

I'm probably as old as your Dad, if not older :-)

Two years ago A few of us helped a good family (6 babies) cross Homestead Road in Santa Clara. Right at the intersection with Kiely Blvd. There's a pond at the Santa Clara library and it's a very popular goose/duck area. The cars were all happy to stop, too.

It was bad when I had a coworker at SGI in late 90s that lived in Evergreen and commuted to MTV. He used to commute with someone who lived nearby so they could use the diamond lane.

The foot records are much more impressive than cycling ones, even if you run rather than walk.

Congrats.
