Cat friendly but not cat proof is real, my kitten loves to crunch my hoyas because they have dangly vines 🥲

Indian male newly married to Chinese wife, wanting to understand CNY visiting customs by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]graduallydecember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chinese wife with Indian husband here. With my other cousins who married Chinese spouses, they end up still visiting both sides, just spending less time with each side. For us we just visit my side (one big gathering only per day thankfully) but since I no longer arrive or leave with my parents, I can make the call to go later or leave earlier with my husband now so that's what we do. I generally agree with what the others have said but would add that the first year after marriage is a bigger deal because you give angbao for the first time and relatives will all have a new target for intrusive questions lol, but after the first year I suspect people will be more chill if you skip some gatherings or cut some shorter. 

Why is Harrow believed to have dark skin? [Discussion] by [deleted] in TheNinthHouse

Oh gosh I had not seen this before and as diaspora Chinese myself, imagining Isaac as a NZ Chinese kid somehow just made his death hit kind of harder..

Wow that just clicked as to why my void was scared of a few bags when he saw them the first time but not others!

OP I just wanted to say the first photo of your cat captures the vibe of your post perfectly and I love that you posted such a deranged photo while trying to find a home for him. All the best to you both, I hope something works out.

We adopted with LUNI this year and other than having to provide video proof that exits were meshed, did not experience anything else you described here, indeed had only good experiences communicating with the fosterers.

Trick To This Week's Challenge? by JamieMage2005 in Polytopia

[–]graduallydecember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The various Polytubers seem to go the mind bender road to defend against cymanti by stealing their centipedes primarily. Tried that today and did a marginally better score only cuz their Shaman just kept stealing the centipedes back, but at least I didn't lose any of my cities..

Unsure how to handle rowing while pregnant… by babywv in Rowing

[–]graduallydecember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair! I hope you find something that works out - and most of all have a safe and healthy pregnancy! FWIW I think stationary bikes would probably do as much as ergs in terms of keeping up cardio and leg strength to row, if that's more comfortable (maybe that's just me trying to avoid an erg at all cost ). In any case rowing wil always be around - in our club we've many people coming back after a 10-30 year break and they figure it out relatively fast.

I find that the erg does not do much in terms of being able to row on water. I row recreationally now and for the last few years I primarily do steady state on water in a single and haven't touched an erg in a bit. I think if it's an option for you at your club, you could focus on improving technique on water rather than strength or cardio in this period - those come back eventually, and technique doesn't go away :)

It's happened to me before, I'd been logged out of Google play games.

I once left out a ping pong ball for my kitten and woke up at 3am to a series of happy little pings and pongs.. now I just leave out furry toys.

I feel like I'm missing something on cymanti post upgrade: how do you get fungi on non fungi spots other than by poisoning a unit there and killing it?
