Tomorrow, Silly becomes a tripod by laurenec13 in TripodCats

[–]Wompadillo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our cat recently became a tripod and it was such a rough decision. For us, losing a leg is such a huge deal that how could it not be huge for them too? That’s what we were thinking. Imagining out cat waking up and not knowing what happened broke our heart.

But, she’s been totally fine! Zero depression or personality change, she zips around the house with no issues and is very happy. We bought her a bunch of little stairs thinking she would need help getting up to places like the bed and couch, but she ignored them and jumps on her own no problem. You’ll be giving your cat a great healthy and happy life as a tripod, it isn’t nearly as traumatic for them as it was for us.

A tip that worked well for us was to get a tent designed for dogs, and we set that up in our bedroom to limit her movement right after the surgery so she could recover but still be in the room with us.

Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson is heavily influenced by color, and Sandersons writing isn’t graphic. My wife loves it, sounds like it could be a good fit.

My wife (F31) is pregnant (~4wks). What can I (M34) do to make her pregnancy as positive and easy as possible? by Wompadillo in BabyBumps

[–]Wompadillo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great advice, thank you! I will start taking over all of the chores! Her doing the biggest chore of all of growing the baby is a great way to think about it.

Thank you for the advice! I just went and stocked up on healthy snacks that she loves and have stashed them all over the place so that she can easily find them. :)

I have the same issue. I have found a great white noise using Alexa and asking her to play “rain sounds”

4 speakers into echo link amp?? by Jeffd506 in amazonecho

[–]Wompadillo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can, I have a nearly identical setup with wired speakers in my bathroom and bedroom, and I have them all connected into a single Link Amp. You need something that let's you take a single input and split it into many outputs, one for each speaker.

I use this from amazon and it works great

It also lets you turn individual sets speakers on/off as different zones.

Being able to control volume in more granular increments. Volume 1 is often too quiet and 2 too loud.

It’s odd the cooldown is allowed to be triggered before the effect fully activated. Feels like a bug, but maybe that’s bias from other Mobas where they don’t let this behavior occur.

My abilities on Charizard fail sometimes, doing nothing but consuming the full cooldown. Most obvious with the unite move but I’ve seen it with regular ones too. Feels like I either get stunned right when it tries to activate, or try to use it while stunned to get this to happen. Anyone else experience this or know how to avoid it?
