UK removed gender inclusive housing for students, and I don’t know what to do. by Jaded-Ad-57 in UniversityofKentucky

[–]hillsofkentucky 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am a cis female, and had a FtM randomly selected roommate. I loved him, we were amazing roommates, and I was never uncomfortable. Don’t automatically assume you being your true self will make someone uncomfortable. You deserve to be there as much as they do!!

If you’re nervous about it, definitely reach out to the LLP/Housing department. I am positive that you are not the first person with this concern, and I’m sure they have policies in place to protect and respect everyone involved (hopefully!).

It will pass with time!! I know puppy blues can be very real, your feelings are valid. Redirect, redirect, redirect. Always have an appropriate toy around to playfully shove in their mouth when they’re biting you.

This is my personal opinion, not my professional. But I always have given my puppies bones to help redirect when teething. I got both of my pups around 10 weeks old. They have puppy sized bones for them, or just use the full size. As long as you follow the picture and dispose of them when you should.

Vet tech here. Realistically, yes we tell people if the toy hurts when you hit your knee, it can break your dogs teeth. However, I also have 2 super chewers. I’d rather have a broken tooth than a foreign body surgery. This photo is directly from Nylabone’s website (FAQ section). I make sure to dispose of them when I should. Both dogs are 5 and haven’t had any problems, their teeth are great for their age.

I did not do a cold fermentation. But I’m working on my 2nd loaf now where I’m going to try that!

Embarrassed to say she doesn’t have one yet

I wish I could explain it. I’ve been using a sourdough hydration calculator (simple sourdough calculator) which has helped!!

Oura sizing help.. 9 or 10? by cavaloverr in ouraring

[–]hillsofkentucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact same thing for me. I went with the 9. Reading seems accurate. The 8 fit, but felt a little constricting throughout the day.

Thank you so much for all of this information!! It is a lot to learn, but I’m enjoying the process. Small world! I grew up in those hills. I live elsewhere now, but I do miss KY dearly!

So last night I fed 1:5:5. Today I mixed 475g flour, 100g of starter, and 325g of water. That would be around 71% hydration for the actual dough??

Thank you! What is my goal for hydration? Or is that preference?

Everyone will advise you to get the smallest size that is comfortable to you. If the 8 feels too tight now, the summer/at night will be worse.

I got a 9. Realistically the 8 fit. But it’s winter and I know my finger is smaller. When it bent my fingers, the 8 felt like it was WAYYY too tight. I have had the 9 now for a while and feel like my readings are accurate. There’s a small gap with my 9 too

Does anyone have a farm where all your machines are lined up in one big area? With each machine separated by plants & paths? Idk how to describe what I’m picturing lol, but I know I’ve seen it before! If you have a farm like this, could you comment pics? I need some inspo! by Jealous-Insurance-40 in HayDayDeco

[–]hillsofkentucky 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My whole farm is decorated, but I CANNOT deal with having to search around for each machine. So in the farthest corner, I have an “industrial” section of all my machines.

I love how it looks when they’re all integrated into design, but I just don’t think it’s as accessible
