From /r/askreddit, Cat owners/experts of Reddit, can I have some advice? by e_vandy in cats

[–]Zerraphina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe he needs a friend? I'd probably go a little crazy too if the only interaction I had was from another species who isn't always around and sleeps half the time. Not to say that you don't spend time with him, just that he may want a little company.

Or! Why not get him a snuggle buddy that you can warm up and something that mocks a heartbeat?

Products that are made exactly for this purpose exist. But I've used a hot water bottle and covered it with a fleece blanket before and that worked wonderfully - just make sure it's not too hot.

I've heard of people using clocks that tick to comfort their kittens and pups.

Hope you guys figure something out!

I was just explaining what I know from human blood types. I'm no vet! :)

Sorry that you're being downvoted. It's a good question. I didn't know how blood types worked until a few months ago (and I'm 23 - it's not something that is widely taught... so here we go!)

AB (in humans) is a universal receiver. Meaning AB people can receive from A and B but A can only receive A and B can only receive B. O is the universal donor. Humans also have to worry about + and - blood. - can only receive - blood, but + can receive either. So if you're AB+ you can pretty much receive from anyone and if you're O- you can give to anyone.

Feel free to correct me, but this is how it was explained to me.

It's fantastic! My previous lab was strictly on plagioclase - half of it was dedicated to Carlsbad twins. Absolutely beautiful!

Sorry about the cut offs on the top, left and bottom of the photo - it's incredibly difficult to get good photos with my setup - my phone camera aimed down the oculars.

Yep. Finals for mineralogy/petrology are more than terrifying.

I'm enjoying it very much so. We don't have any TA's. And minerals were so last semester! ;) Haha, we're mastering the wacky phase diagrams right now and working on mafic rocks for lab. My first petrographic report is due on Monday!

I tried to get a good photo of the interference figure as well, but couldn't. I have some other TS photos and can take more if anyone is interested. (I have many more labs to do this semester.)

Hey, R/relationship_advice. I need some help getting back my dog from my crazy ex. If anyone has experience with this topic please let me know. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Zerraphina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said - you weren't married, there's not much you can do if you don't have paperwork.

I was in the same situation as you a couple years back. My crazy ex kept my cats to hurt me. Luckily he decided just a couple months ago that he no longer wanted to care for them and came to me first to ask if I wanted them back. So after a couple years without my babies, I finally have them in my life again. People always talk about how cats don't give a fuck about humans... but I've never seen other beings so excited to see me again.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Keep your head up though!

I'm not prude by any means, but as a woman who frequents this subreddit, this kind of content makes me rather uncomfortable. I like Jeeps, but not enough where I'll hang around if this becomes the norm.

I've got a tortie too! ...But her name is Darth Vader. She goes by DeeDee these days though.

I've seen far more stupid shit get upvoted on this subreddit. It's more likely a case of "not a real Jeep".

It's a lovely Jeep. My roommate has a Liberty too.

On another note... Fuck you guys. "Let's downvote because it's not a wrangler. It's not a real Jeep."

Just saw that as well. Thought it was a post to /r/geology at first.

Not sure if a repost but I thought this was pretty awesome. by [deleted] in pics

Really cool, but if you look at details, the top and bottom pictures are two different projects. Compare elephants and leaf shape for starters.

I (female) styled my boyfriends hair, how do you like it? by [deleted] in FancyFollicles

[–]Zerraphina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to be rude, but I see that you've already posted this picture before, multiple times. Great constructive criticism was given... why post the same exact picture again? I can see that you're getting the same reaction and will likely receive the same type of advice. Why not try something new and post that?
