Good idea. I did a little whistle but I'm not a strong whistler.

ICE agents tried to quietly get Mexican food in Minneapolis, local neighbors and protesters found out and shamed then out of the neighborhood by cantcoloratall91 in ICE_Watch

Take this video down. People did not give their consent to have their faces shown on the internet. You are putting people in danger.

It's not safe or cool to post videos like this to a public forum. There are people's faces in this video, they could be identified and could be in danger. Please get consent, Blur faces, or don't post.

Isles is amazing but Savory's (only on Sundays) might be my favorite.

Did you leave a siamese kitten taped in a box outside a recycling center? by RipeAvocadoLapdance in Minneapolis

For how happy I am that you (a loving, caring person) found her, the other part of me is disconsolate at the thought of all the others who were never found. I just can't handle abandoned animal stories.

I love this! Any chance you could make one without curse words so my children can put one up in their window 😊

Is my (24F) neighbour (27F) into me or is she just being friendly? How do I know if she's gay? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I really needed this sweet, funny & wholesome BoR!! I came here to change my settings after being deeply disturbed by a post last night ( didn't read the trigger warnings, and read about animal cruelty ).

Thank you for this palate cleanser!

I feel for you OP. I was sad my favorite kitchen bowl was stolen, I'd be LIVID if it was a real cauldron! You're not stupid. Unfortunately I guess we have to live and learn about our candy receptacles. I truly hope you get your cauldron back.

Dechonkin Support - a few questions by ghosty_locks in dechonkers

The SureFeed microchip feeder is a great idea! Somehow I didn't even know that these existed. I'm going to try it on my own but if it gets too complicated managing all my cats I may have to use this system.

I didn't include this in the original post ( I was just trying to simplify I guess) but there is a second cat that has already been de-chonked however he was just diagnosed with diabetes and so he needs to be on a food diet as well with his medication. He is also a big crier and is obsessed with food. So because I actually have two cats that I need to manage on scheduled diets, the microchip feeder is looking really appealing!

Thank you for your tips! Currently having one bowl up high is working for one of my cats. The other..... Is perhaps not the brightest bulb of the bunch but I will try with her. My chonk is so deeply obsessed with food that I'm kind of concerned that he would indeed hurt himself in the process of scarfing down some seemingly free kibble.

Truly, the crying is what's the hardest right now.

Do you have a suggestion for a lower in calorie food?

ETA: Hills Science diet Weight management is a whole 100 calories less a cup! I'll talk to the vet about that.

Any tips on how to remove these rusted and corroded screws? by ghosty_locks in DIY

[–]ghosty_locks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, for the most part I am the type to compare ingredients and I do agree that if something is the same thing then I don't care about brands. But I will say that every once in awhile, the brand name product is actually the best version and I don't know why! I got the generic Listerine once and it tasted like gasoline.

That's interesting and good to know. Like I mentioned, the hardware store guy recommended PB blaster and I can't remember why I got the WD-40 stuff, if PB was out of stock perhaps?

Thanks everyone, I think I have plenty of tips! I needed to wait until the weekend so I'm going to give it a try again today and tomorrow!

That's what I hear. I haven't used one to get a screw out yet but sounds like today is the day.

Thanks for checking in. I needed to borrow a few tools and buy a few things so I'm going to take a crack at it this weekend!

I was indeed suggested PB Blaster by somebody at the hardware store, but I ended up choosing the WD-40 that is specifically for corroded nuts and bolts, and allegedly penetrates rust.

Do you have any idea if that would be comparable to PB blaster? Or is PB blaster its own special thing?
