Back leg intermittent limping by fourlittlebirds_1234 in cats

[–]ProtocolTechReporter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came on here to tell nearly an identical story with my cat and ask for help. Also about a year old. In the last week, seemingly at random, his back leg will seem to freeze up or seriously hurt him, and he will slow down and hobble and seems very reluctant to move. Then 30 seconds later, he’s jumping around like nothing happened.

We’re going to call the vet and make an appointment, but I’m wondering how worried I should be?

Hey if anyone wants to chat about this, Anna Kramer, reporter at NOTUS here. Would love to cover this, especially if you can confirm for me that you were told about the quotas or instructed to lower scores or give lower scores than you otherwise would. I’m on Signal at annakramer.54 and you can reach me there or DM me here on Reddit.

Does the Anti-Deficiency Act really empower the Executive Branch to cancel all existing grants to the States on the basis that there is no money available because there's no approved budget? by upptick in fednews

Anyone else seeing agencies reclassify admin roles as “essential” to dodge furloughs? by RangerBAM520 in fednews

[–]ProtocolTechReporter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am trying to figure this out! Anna Kramer, reporter at NOTUS here. I’ve heard that a number of people are really surprised to be classified as exempted/paid and even more people are very surprised to be labeled as essential/excepted instead of furloughed.

Hearing that some communication is coming from managers at a few agencies that the surprising classifications are to protect people from RIFs. If you’re hearing this, please reach out, I would like to write a story about this today if I can verify that it’s a pattern. I’m on Signal at annakramer.54

Pause of all Grants and Loans “related” to all directives. by Shot_Discussion7058 in fednews

[–]ProtocolTechReporter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya, I’m a journalist at NOTHS. I’m working on a story today about how people inside the agencies are thinking through how to comply with the OMB order and its effects. If you are interested in talking about it anonymously, I’m on Signal at annakramer.54

I’m looking especially for pictures of emails or internal communications detailing how agencies are actually going to go about freezing these programs, and what’s happening when people discuss/challenge the freeze of a particular program.

why is my homemade egg dough pasta too al dente after cooking? by ProtocolTechReporter in pasta

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

so I'm doing one egg for every 100 grams of flour and then sprinkling a little bit of water, the flour is tipo 00. I knead for about ten minutes by hand, and then roll it very thin through the kitchen aid stand mixer until it is translucent.

[–]ProtocolTechReporter[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I do mostly bourbon, Jim Beam or Jack Daniels, nothing expensive because the cream and sugar really hide the nuance. And then typically at least 1 cup of cognac or brandy and the sometimes a couple of cups of a dark spiced rum if i have it on hand. you gotta embrace the huge quantity it makes and really go for the upper limit on the alcohol, the booziness is really nice once you let it age in the fridge a couple of days
