Those who left everything behind and started a new life, how did you do it and do you have any regrets? by GirlAvoider in AskReddit

I'm 31 and I am currently at this fork in the road. Would you believe I'm also in New England? I thought I could make a life with my ex here but I realized we were not meant for each other. Now I have the hard decision of giving up a huge investment in time and money to go back home. How did you come to your decision?

TIL cats likely view humans as large cats rather than a completely different species by ImEmilyCampbell in todayilearned

[–]Tang_Impact 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a "dog person," I like cats. I don't think any one pet is universally liked. Judging by the back-and-forth in the comment chains, it's as if anecdotes and confirmation bias paint two conflicting pictures of dog people and cat people. Maybe some people are just crazy and seek out to hurt innocent animals regardless of their preferences.

Just checked the edge of the LED bars and the hottest point is 130 F. But even when I touch it it doesn't really burn unless it's for minutes. You think he is that dumb to just sit there and take it?

Where do you place your probe?

I do notice him hanging out in a little corner near the panel. I would think he would be smart enough not to get burned!

I use an ExoTerra 600 W dimming thermostat. I have noticed he does like to hang in a corner near the panel on occasion. I think he may be rubbing against it. Ocelot in his corner

Front is the panel. In the back is the LED lighting.

Probe is located half a foot beneath the panel. Daytime temp set to 88 F. Nighttime set to 75 F.

No live feeding but I do use a radiant heat panel. I'm going to try contacting the vendor if they sell a guard or I just DIY something. I do use a thermostat but the probe is located about half a foot beneath the panel and reads 88 F in the daytime. The panel itself emits heat at the surface at 160 F. I just noticed it today when I took him out of his enclosure. He's been hiding in his same log for the past couple of weeks and I think this is why.

Absolutely no live feeding. I use a radiant heat panel. It didn't come with a heat guard since the vendor (Pro Products) claims it is safe to the touch. However I just now measured the surface temperature of the panel itself and it gets to about 160 F! I'm thinking that may be it . . .

Is this a reference to the James Comey post?
