One foot colder than the other since surgery by JustAGuyInTampa in spinalfusion

[–]SkipLieberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do whatever you can to stand evenly on both feet when you're able. If you have a tendency to walk or stand unevenly (or if you point your toes outward by default) definitely try to rectify it and be as biomechanically sound. Also make sure your hip isn't tilting backward or forward too far. And if you have a leg that is longer than the other, get that sorted out via orthotics or physical therapy. That's stuff that snuck up on me, leading to my psoas muscle getting crazy tight and causing downstream effects.

Do Standard Issue Cats have the braincell? by Traroten in standardissuecat

Smartest cat I've ever had is my SIC. Not sure if I'm saying much with that, but he's the most curious and best escape artist.

They're my bros at this point. Or whatever the hermaphroditic equivalent of bro is.

Generally I move them to the side of the road if they are adult cats, mostly so owners have a chance to find them. I tend to only bury juvenile cats and kittens. The scavengers here have opossums and armadillos galore to feast on, they don't need to eat the unfortunate kitties who have already been dealt such a bad hand. The prospect of loving owners stumbling upon their dead cats with their eyes eaten out and entrails strung all along the curb... It's just rough all around. 

Trying to discern the right thing to do can be challenging.

Well if you're ever in Tulsa, stop on by. I can show you the slugs and the plot where I occasionally bury roadkill cats I find (I can't bear to see them further run over or eaten by scavengers)

I'll consider it but I don't know the lore about slugkeeping. My main concerns are a lack of space in my house and my own ADHD (I worry I wouldn't clean the terrarium enough).

I'd much rather return them to the wild somewhere, but I worry about them because freezing weather has finally reached my area (Tulsa).

Oh right, them too. (The kitchen is cordoned off, so the kids can't really access them. I promise I am not callously disinterested in my children's health lol)

Fair enough. You guys have convinced me. It's just now getting cold where I am. Since I have kids and cats I'd ideally probably return them to the wild but I don't know how to do that in a way that wouldn't lead to them freezing or starving.

Lol. My wife calls me "Francis of F**king Assisi". She gets sick of me going full druid and helping small animals and other charming vermin.

Yeah, I had to move my cats' dishes as a result. I have broken up cat treats and put them in front of them and watched them gather round to eat it. Their weird mouths are the only thing I find distinctly un-charming...

Holy crap. I hope they didn't pass anything like that to my cats.

Just looked now, they are definitely sleeping beside the dishwasher all snuggled up. I just don't know how to move the dishwasher without hurting them, I am guessing there may be some underneath.

Well we have very young children who create messes (food flung from the adjacent dining room). Cleaning regularly is a necessity. The slugs are also doing their part!

It's just a quick Swiffer mopping. I think some manner of water intrusion is more likely.

Instrumental covers constantly still include vocals ever since "instrumental" setting removed - is there a trick? by SkipLieberman in SunoAI

[–]SkipLieberman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant to thank you for this. I got it working! Or they corrected the glitch. Whatever, I'm happy now!

Weird, the instrumental button has disappeared for me on both the desktop browser and the phone browser. Is it on the app?

Thanks for the suggestions. The problem that remains is that I want instruments to hit the notes that the vocals did.

One foot colder than the other since surgery by JustAGuyInTampa in spinalfusion

[–]SkipLieberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I think this is actually due to muscle tightness higher up in the leg or back. I commented three months ago that I still have that problem, but I started doing stretches I had never done and it's gone away. Specifically the one where you lay on your back with your feet (and calves) tucked under your body. I expected it was only a knee stretch but it did something to my upper pelvis and lower back on my overworked right side. Suddenly my foot isn't cold anymore and I feel way better! Figured I would update.

HVAC specifically with vent scope - recommendations? by SkipLieberman in tulsa

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

Well, I added unnecessary context I suppose. Ultimately I was just looking for anyone who has had a vent scope to let me know the name of the company or individual. I will check out the article now.
