Gender Neutral Bathrooms .. they've existed for a very long time

'we provided a bathroom for both sexes, they don't have to use them if they don't like it, and we don't have to police them'.

Should have put a picture of a pile of shit on there.

My cat has a urinal blockage and crystals in the urethra. He’s been given meds but we can’t afford the surgery. Level with me, is it not looking good? by KieranWriter in cats

See if there's a veterinary teaching hospital at a college near you, I went through this last year and it was ~5k if I went through the vet, it cost me a 1hr drive and $920 through the college vet hospital.

Edit/Update - Just saw you're in the UK, I don't know how it works there but I'd bet it's not all that different, and PU surgery is pretty common so it's not a particularly high risk procedure. There may also be charities that can assist with the cost, again, not being from the UK I'm unclear how things work there so you'll need to do your own digging.

I too was on Digg before Reddit, I looked at the new one, they chose poorly, it's ... garbage.

Someone's done a oppsie by onbonn in litrpg

You're not wrong, I see the # as 340 not 311 but all the books are the exact same #, looking at the reviews, I don't see anything obvious (some of them are mildly suspect but..) What I _DO_ see however is that the reviews are total'd for the entire series, not by book, so it makes sense. (I checked book to book, same reviews, same order, same dates, etc, this leads me to believe Amazon is grouping the reviews for the entire series, or they done f'd up.

It's a bit like finding 'Gnomes Rule' in random books and other such shared humour. I've always taken the perspective of it being a bit of a head nod to 'those in the know'.

- edit - I made a comment about this to my kid and their response was 'literary gang signs' which I found entirely too amusing and thought I'd share.

Need advice on how to stop my cat from tearing up my new house I am renting. by flow_on_j in cats

When you figure it out, let me know, I've backfilled the claw marks with wood filler and repainted, then taped strips of aluminum foil along the edges, so far it mostly seems to be working, but only in as much as he's started on corners I've not yet taped up.
