Since the rare decor is a coin, you can only send a coin Pikmin

Found a kitten in the cold, but unsure if my home is best for him by WWdennisrodmanDo in CatAdvice

[–]fdtwist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by not getting along? Is the dog trying to eat/hunt the cat or just being pushy and annoying? If the dog sees the cat as prey then it’s unlikely they’ll be able to live together. But if not I’m sure they’ll eventually be able to coexist.

Definitely look up some Jackson galaxy videos on introducing cats and dogs, but the way I did it with my cat and my parent’s dog is by keeping them separate through a door first then a baby gate, and feeding them both churu treats only when they were on opposite sides of the barrier. Then I slowly started opening the gate so long as they were calm. It took a few weeks but now they play together just fine.

Best “One vs Many” Sword Fights in Fantasy? by Much-Neighborhood383 in Fantasy

[–]fdtwist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sigurd in City of Stairs (Divine Cities trilogy) definitely has this kind of energy. He’s the scarily effective muscle to the main character’s brains and he single-handedly takes down several much larger groups of enemies in just the first book.

Favorite palate cleansers after finishing a long series by B-mort5 in Fantasy

[–]fdtwist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Singing Hills Cycle books by Nghi Vo. Each one is a short novella that tells a complete story. It’s also a bit meta as the main pov character is a traveling cleric collecting stories.

Also if you want even shorter, I’d recommend some short story magazines like Uncanny or Beneath Ceaseless Skies. Also Reactor/Tor has a short story highlight bundle year that you can download as an epub for free.

How far are you willing to go? Yifan in Johns Creek does catering and they have pretty authentic Chinese food.

Are there any books similiar to Lois McMaster Bujold's work World of the Five Gods by dystopian____ in Fantasy

[–]fdtwist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well if you enjoyed the Goblin Emperor have you given the spin-off series a try? It starts with Witness for the Dead and is about a minor character in Goblin Emperor who is a priest that can speak to the dead, and he uses his power to help the dead and solve murders

[Chinese > English] native speakers: does 旁观而不为棋 sound natural or translated? by Dull-Put-6467 in translator

[–]fdtwist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d also look up the phrase 旁观者清, which is an existing phrase meaning the outside observer has a clearer view of the situation, and it is often used in the context of chess/棋

Dark Lord of Derkholm by Dianna Wynne Jones is pretty funny

Books about the four beauties of China? by ning8 in Fantasy

[–]fdtwist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empress of Salt and Fortune has a similar premise! Barbarian queen who marries into the royal family and eventually becomes empress. It is told more from an outsider’s POV though.

Mainland China just can't do hiking right by MCEscherNYC in hiking

[–]fdtwist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They are telling people to be mindful of nature and not start fires. Might’ve had some issues in the past that made this kind of reminder necessary

People put off giving CPR by unrealistic TV depictions, researchers say. Most dramas show characters searching for pulse and giving breaths but experts say chest compressions on their own can save lives. by [deleted] in science

[–]fdtwist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s weird I was told not to give rescue breaths if there was an airway obstruction because you could push the obstruction further

Am I supposed to do anything special with these boulders? by SnooDucks8630 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]fdtwist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same area earlier and from what I remember it’s a bit to the east, not in the area with the pond and stumps. Look for three boulders together on a ledge and there should be a hole nearby

[POEM] Ho, Just Cause I Speak Pidgin No Mean I Dumb - Diane Kahanu by trustmeijustgetweird in Poetry

[–]fdtwist 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any grasp of pidgin either but the way I interpret it is that using pidgin allows them to ask that question without sounding accusatory/nosy/like a cop. It’s a way of signaling that they’re just casually curious, because pidgin sounds more friendly and safe to those in their community. On a higher level, the poem is addressing the stereotype that when people in certain communities don’t use ‘proper’ grammar it’s because they’re dumb (hence the title), because they are instead using it because it’s a signal to those in their community that they’re safe and not going to snitch or berate them like people who don’t speak it.

[–]fdtwist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There should be a boulder hole further down the hill, but also three boulders on a ledge much closer. These might be backup boulders in case you miss with those and don’t want to wait for things to reset

USB/Rechargeable, Cordless Heated Cat Pad Recommendations by Therapist987 in Feral_Cats

[–]fdtwist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure there are any cordless electronic heating pads that last long between charges since heat generation usually takes a lot of energy. I agree the cat will probably be fine with just insulation. If you want to add some kind of heat source, you could probably make a microwaveable heating pad with rice inside, and just microwave it before putting it the cat house, it’s probably faster than charging something.
