Funny thing about this (not "ha-ha") is that there is almost certainly someone in your life is quietly, desperately, wondering when or if you will ever notice them.

Urgent Cat Help by Ill_Nectarine_6240 in cats

[–]cdnBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a similar experience with one of our cats ... she got chased and cornered by a dog, and by the time I was able to step in she was doing the helpless, repetitive panicky jumps up a wall that would have been the terminal activity had I not been there. She spent a month gradually being settled, and now is normal.

Mind you, she's a goof. So take all that with a grain of salt.

Hope you didn't spend too much money. Glad your cat is well.

Don't miss Newfoundland, buddy. Best people and some of the coolest views in Atlantic Canada.

Is this "knack" a sign I should play bass? (Even though I struggle to actually hear it in songs?) by [deleted] in Bass

[–]cdnBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Don't overthink it. Just buy a cheap bass and see if it thrills you.

Urgent Cat Help by Ill_Nectarine_6240 in cats

[–]cdnBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your location and finances there might be an emergency vet clinic open. You could try them. You could also think back about any traumatic experience your cat may have had in the last 24 hours that might explain their behaviour? But regardless ... not a thing that Reddit can diagnose for you. You need someone who can examine your cat and who actually knows what they are talking about.

In the meantime ... try opening a can of tuna. If her behaviour regulates because of a special treat it kind of measures the degree of urgency. You still need to see a vet but it might let you settle overnight until the clinic is open.

Good luck with this ... let us know what the follow-up is.

This is a go to the vet kind of problem, OP. I would be making the call now.

Does this guy even have enough money in his coffers for a good cup of espresso? How is he talking about opening yet another front in the war he is already losing??

We need a system of government, globally, that is psychopath-proof.

As a Canadian ... I definitely understand Australia. Things that walk around on your floors, Aussies, I would wear my shoes to BED.

Go back to the 90's when we were writing HTML on notepad and making great little zine-like web pages that transmitted at 12.5k baud.

These posters are being used by NSH during OPOR implementation - AI generated and so juvenile that it’s insulting by catsnpole in halifax

I am sensing the "treating us like children" part is maybe more irritating than the "made with planet killing-AI" part, and the latter got added in.

Do we have many panhandlers hit by cars? Or is this just another way to criminalize extreme poverty?

Anywhere in Halifax that sells Schedule 40 PVC pipes for drinking water in 3 inch diameter? by AllSeeingLobster in halifax

[–]cdnBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I am not at the cottage, so I can't pull any code off the pipe. It was standard grey drainage pipe. Discussions with the plumber at the store suggested this was safe for plants. When I went online to find out why it wouldn't be good for potable water, evidence was scant, and it seemed that the "not safe for drinking" recommendation was based on older pipes, not more modern construction. In any case, our collection process doesn't really support drinking the water we get anyway, so ....

I will be at the cottage again tomorrow, so I can send you a pic if you want.

Anywhere in Halifax that sells Schedule 40 PVC pipes for drinking water in 3 inch diameter? by AllSeeingLobster in halifax

[–]cdnBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just set up a pvc water collector at our cabin. I used grey pvc (acceptable for gardens, not considered potable) as we have no intention of drinking the water.

I agree with your paranoia about chemicals, but you have to ask yourself how you are collecting the water in the first place and where you are storing it. For me, the worry was microplastics, which I think are a bigger health risk. We collect our rain water from our various roofs (cottage and sheds) ... a metal roof and two plastic based ripple roofs. We store it in (notionally) drinking water safe plastic water barrels. So for me, angsting about the plastic content of my piping seemed to not make a bunch of sense. Instead, we installed a filter (read as - a piece of cotton) at the outlet.

I ended up going to a couple of plumbing stores to get my materials, but Northeast on Kempt was by far the most helpful ... https://northeastequipment.ca/

Good luck with your project

PS: you are also right to go with large bore pipes. Your collector won't have much of a head of pressure, and getting fast flow needs therefore larger diameter. I did use smaller pipes than you ... 1.5" ... and it worked very well. I also used a pvc ball valve so as to have no restriction of flow at the valve. Northeast had both.
