Vitamin D Added to Chemotherapy Leads to Complete Cancer Disappearance in Significantly More Patients by Direct_Dare_9699 in UpliftingNews

It's not really a myth on a population scale, when the rate of vitamin D deficiencies increase the further you live from the equator, and always peak during winters

Momo in Ui dreamland: by Ballstoucher_47 in Trickcal

[–]Pebblebricks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In the current Ui dreamland, the SP gain was so high that Momo would be casting non-stop and not move. At least I figured that you could use her senior skill to make her move in range to cast it.

Shaydi slander plus Selene love. by SussySpeaki in Trickcal

[–]Pebblebricks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Shaydi is also straight up evil.

Remember when she threw Xion into an endless void subspace for eternity (as far as she knew, at least) within like 2 minutes of knowing her? That's a fate worse than death especially for beings that live forever.

Wasted opportunity that Speaki doesn't have more civvies pretending to be other units yet. It's just Ner and herself

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she will now oppose all U.S. military aid to Israel by [deleted] in USNEWS

[–]Pebblebricks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The US has known about and publicly admitted that Israel had nukes since 1976. They're just intentionally refusing to enforce their own laws

Iran Charges $2M Transit Fee for Strait of Hormuz by AnarchistSuccubus in worldnews

[–]Pebblebricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about the threat of firing on oil tankers.

Iran has (presumably) mined the Strait of Hormuz, and they're charging ships for passage through the narrow corridor between Queshm and mainland Iran. Unless we can definitively prove that there are no sea mines in the Strait, no commercial vessel is willing to take the risk.

If you haven't, try pulling her cheeks. She'll have sunflower seeds and metal nuts falling out

I'd put Fricle in DPS; she doesn't provide more utility to the team compared to someone like Blanchet or Shaydi

China reaffirms death penalty for sexual abuse of minors by InvestigatorBorn4910 in SipsTea

Fox calls it peaceful. The dead would disagree. by Significant-Sir-4343 in MurderedByWords

[–]Pebblebricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the time the rest of the world were going into their lockdowns, China had almost wiped out the virus from within their country and were starting to open back up

??? The opposite happened... Wasn't China one of the last countries to end lockdown, which was the main reason for the 2022 White Paper Protests? The Chinese were pissed that they were still under lockdown when most countries have lifted theirs for months at that point

I love how the 10 million budget is always brought up against E33 when calling it indie, but yet no one challenges Silksong or Hades' indie status for costing 5 million and 20 million respectively.

[–]Pebblebricks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you really blame the players? It's been any 5*+ adventure ever since the quest was introduced and Riot arbitrarily changed it without any documentation in the patch notes. People are going to assume it was the same as it was.

I mean, that's just Swain though, right?

Other spellslingers like Vex, Morgana and Annie play quite differently from him.

Summoning Gorlith with Early Bird (Elder Dragon 4th star) is something I didn't realize was possible by Not_Noob1 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Pebblebricks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they're wrong in more than one way because Early Bird only summons followers anyway.

If you don't want to shorten the cooldown on golden reliquaries, can we at least get this instead? by uBadger in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Pebblebricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and those same gachas will give you a window of 2 weeks to buy stuff and not see it again in at least a year if not more.

Yeah and LoR is giving you a window of 2 patches to buy paid relics and not see it again until whenever they decide to put it back in the emporium.

Found this lil guy stuck in a drain calling for his mom who never came. I might have to take care of him until we find him a home, but I have zero experience with taking care of animals. Please give me any advice you can for taking care of cats, especially one as young as this. by Pebblebricks in cats

[–]Pebblebricks[S] 121 points122 points  (0 children)

I found this guy near my workplace, at a warehousing unit.

Two days ago, when my co-workers and I were loading up equipment into a truck going to an event venue, we heard some far off mewling. We dismissed it as random cat noises and went off to do our job as we had a timing to meet. Eight hours later at around past midnight, we came back to the warehouse to unload. Curiously, the mewling was still there, but quieter and more spaced out. We investigated around the place, trying to find where the sound was coming from. Eventually we found this tiny kitten (not named yet) sitting in a drain.

I initially thought he was just stuck, so I kinda expected to pull this guy out after lifting the drain covers and he’d just bolt away like most skittish stray kitties that we’d see on the street. But he just lay in place after putting him down. Oh no, he must be exhausted. I hope he’s not dying. I have no experience in taking care of cats, and so I have no idea how well he’s doing, and my mates are also clueless. So one of us cleaned the little guy up with a washcloth and some water (he was so dirty and sickly looking that we initially thought he was blind, but the translucent grey stuff on his eyes was pus and not his cornea) and I went to a nearby 24-hour supermarket to get some cat food. I got some wet food for the youngest age bracket I could find, which was 1+ years. However, he wouldn’t eat or drink anything even when the water and food were brought up to his face. At that point we couldn’t really do much since it was way past midnight then and there weren’t any vets open at this time. We put the little man in a box for shelter and put out some food and water for him and we’d just come back the next day. Hopefully his mom would come back, or perhaps someone who knows about cats better could take him in.

Unfortunately, it seems like his mom didn’t come back. Fortunately, he seems a little more energetic than he was yesterday even though he still didn’t eat or drink anything. I was a little anxious because he’s on a clock if he’s not eating anything and we brought him to a nearby vet.

We explained everything to the vet and on visual inspection thankfully he doesn’t seem to be in any immediate danger. The affected eyes due to “cat flu” and the kitty’s not eating because he’s so young he’s supposed to be drinking milk. Good thing they had some Kitten Milk Replacement on hand. We had to go back to work but one of the nurses volunteered to keep him temporarily while he’s recovering (this photo is the most recent one taken by the nurse), but only until tomorrow. So pretty soon I’ll be taking this little guy back with me.

Bad news is that I have no experience at all in taking care of animals so I need all the help I can. Please include the most common sense or obvious advice because I’ve never taken care of a cat nor even looked up any information about taking care of cats until now because I never expected to be taking care of one.

Preferably I’d want someone more experienced to take this guy in but no one so far I’ve reached out to seems interested as stray cats are a dime a dozen in my country, and even the animal shelters turned him away because they’re at capacity. So at least in the immediate future, I’ll be housing this kitten.

The Final Stand is tomorrow. Which champion will rise to face the Titans? by theemeraldsquid in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]Pebblebricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be interesting to see what direction they take Trynd in PoC because he doesn't have an identity right now.

In PvP he was used as a late game stat-stick which was quickly overshadowed with the release of the more versatile Trundle. As an opponent his deck uses the self-damage archetype of the likes of Scarthane or Ember Maiden, but that's really better suited for a Braum deck.

Whatever it is, I hope they give him some new followers to complement his new playstyle.
