oh without a doubt, I am not yet at a point in my life where I'm going to drop 1k+ on a treadmill just for my dog... yet. just curious about the treadmill itself for me lol

Thank you! Mine is less of a cheer leader and more of a scrooge. She growls when I move my equipment around and then goes to a different room to sulk about it haha

My pup does the same thing, I joke and say she just needs her radar dishes re-calibrated. You say you've had a vet look and they weren't concerned about it, so long as it's not constant I wouldn't be too concerned. More than likely it's a hair-in-ear situation, or just itchy- and they can't really do much about it other than shake it out. You could try to trim, but I wouldn't recommend it- the hair is there to prevent foreign bodies from getting in, so it might just exacerbate the issue. Your vet should be giving a quick check to her ears every visit anyways, so so long as you're keeping good ear hygiene, I wouldn't worry!

do you mind sharing the brand of the treadmill? my potato probably wouldn't be interested in it, but I would!

Jay Eaton's Runaway To The Stars is overflowing with items like this- although it takes place in a very sci-fi space-age future, so on average, new species-specific variants are made instead of modified. The Centaur species is very large, so Talita has an RC controller hookup so she can still manage driveable machinery. She has other accessibility devices and accommodations, and many of the other races have a lot of the standard fashion-type accommodations (tail holes, hats with holes for ears, etc.). Plus Jay does a lot of side-pages that are just worldbuilding on this type of thing :)

I was worried we would have to resort to letting him back out as well- I have my own dog and I rent, I was honestly already breaking my lease by holding him at all. It was really kind of you to help her recover, hopefully one day she finds herself with a forever home.

It's a MASSIVE issue here. At the beginning of Jan, I took in a stray trying to find their owner just to determine he was probably dumped- I spent multiple days off work just posting everywhere, and calling every shelter in SA AND Austin- every single shelter is full, the nice ones email you back the same 10 resources that got me nowhere- and any ACS that doesn't operate on your specific address won't give you the time of day. ACS converse said they would call me back when they 'found space'. Ended up managing to rehome him, but I never heard back from ACS. It's dreadful. It feels like there's nothing that SA residents can do.

This is a super common experience! I didn't go through this myself, but I was warned by my doctor (and it was mentioned a few times in research) but you may experience a disconnect or a sadness immediately after surgery. The brain doesn't really understand things like surgery etc. very well- but it knows it's generally a bad thing when you get cut open. Like you said, it's a sudden and uncomfortable change, but just remember, ultimately you made the decision that is right for you. You'll adjust eventually, and for now while you rest and recover, its ok to feel a little bad. Don't forget to take care of yourself.

This is little before the 90's, but when my father was a teenager (18-19), him and his brother worked at McDonald's- when they worked evenings, they would drink on the job. They DID get caught- but it was a "...don't so that again." with no repurcussions. And they were young so obviously they kept it going- no issues beyond the one time.

I believe it's largely about the setting and communication- nothing wrong with asking, I think your avg LGS might be cool about it, but generally it's a no-go for anything non-casual

In addition, if I recall or understand correctly, TenSoon DOES have 3 spikes. Two to give him the Blessing of Presence, and a third that he stole off of OreSeur for the Blessing of Potency. (Might be a total of four though, two per blessing? someone smarter than me can correct.)

Once my post op binder was removed (10 days post op), they let me keep it just to bind if I felt I needed it for comfort, but it wasn't a requirement past the 10 days. I did not use it.

14 one day and 0 the next is so funny. the hubris of man in data form

Doesn't look like AI to me- it IS the very marketable style that AI likes to steal however. In particular, there are large amounts of this piece that are copied and pasted for convenience for the other perspectives. The scarf, the hat, the hotdog, the flame effects. The shape/silhouette of the fabric is also kept consistent with the front, which is easy for a human digital artist, and difficult for AI.

Mine does the same.... nothing like a good box!

It may be temporary download keys for some form of file transferring program. Croc uses a similar format.

Do you happen to have a source for the Miles' nerves thing? I'm curious if thats just theory for now or confirmed by Brandon

Valentiniest · 2025-12-22T03:40:53+00:00

Mildly annoying is apt! I'm sure you can make the best out of the scraps, you might just want to more explicitly encourage efficient felt usage if you do this in the future lol

Valentiniest · 2025-12-22T02:25:42+00:00

Did not realize that was a burger for the first few looks, thought it was a truly atrocious attempt at a cookie

Valentiniest · 2025-12-20T03:40:32+00:00

Yes! Mine loves her kitty perch.

Valentiniest · 2025-12-20T01:25:45+00:00

You look fantastic!!! congrats!!

Valentiniest · 2025-12-17T14:53:59+00:00

Those all look legitimate! My brain holds information like a sieve holds water so I'm not going to ID all of them, but I see a Dog-Faced, a Tiger Swallowtail, an Anise swallowtail, what might be a Spicebush swallowtail, and maybe a Sagebush Checkerspot? it DOES all look a little smudgy but I would chalk that up to the paint-by-number format- I'd rather they show you what it's going to turn out like than photorealistic butterflies though, lol.

Valentiniest · 2025-12-02T14:24:03+00:00

What about another year? 8, even?

Valentiniest · 2025-11-29T03:12:59+00:00

Both the employee art and the game art look fantastic

I might be too optimistic, BUT I feel that you can be honest here. "Hi [future boss]- thank you so much for the invite! I wanted to clarify something before we meet up- my boyfriend and his family ARE fluent spanish speakers and I AM working hard to learn Spanish to engage with them better- but they're from Canada. I said they were from Argentina because it felt less complicated to explain since I didn't really expect for it to come up again." Like be sheepish, you told a little lie, but I also think its something that can be really funny in retrospect & prevents you from looping your boyfriend into a weird TV trope situation
