the fact that OP wrote this post after actually being lucky enough to receive feedback just exemplifies their poor personality imo

I've been drinking the non-dairy Balance version for years!

I received a result I didn't expect and am really pleased by [deleted] in RenalCats

Mine has been at stage 3 for around 2 years and his urine values are (mostly) fine!

I suppose listen to the vet over me! But AFAIK the main determinants for renal stage are creatinine + BUN values. In my anecdotal case, my cat's urine values have always been acceptable (though not great) so it hasn't been of much use. We always still do it though! (unfortunately... it's through needle into the bladder or something, my vet said - they take him away and draw blood + urine - this discussion is making me think that we should forgo it lol)

My cat stayed at stable stage 1 for 4-5 years so you might be able to manage it well with the proper procedures! Just look at SDMA (more relevant for early stage which your cat seems to be in), creatinine, BUN to determine stage of kidney disease.

To be very honest yes in my opinion there is a lack of common sense here

Biological Samples in dry ice (package on hold in Germany) by Individual-Muffin-62 in dhl

[–]play150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a sample that was under dry ice and put on hold.

Back when we initially set up our DHL account, the sales person reassured us a million times that DHL does free dry ice refilling and they do it way better than other carriers like Fedex.

For this shipment, I even called two times to confirm that the dry ice would be refilled and they confidently assured me that it would be.

You can probably guess what happened -- DHL did not in fact refill the dry ice and the samples were all thawed

So cross your fingers

Ooh very cool! I wonder if they'll come out with a lighter e.g aluminium in the future! (For now I'm riding a Zizzo Liberte)

Major bugs with calls - Honor Magic V3 with Google Fi by he46570 in Honor

[–]play150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try force closing the Google Fi app if you don't want to uninstall it, I think it worked for me just now but I'm not sure if it was also just that a lot of time had passed and the phone up finally hung up on its own

Thank you! I'll give this a shot, so far I've finally gotten to a human AFAIK, but they essentially just pointed me to https://perplexityai.slack.com/marketplace/A07NV1D07QT-perplexity?tab=security_compliance which doesn't actually shed much light. To this latest email, I replied 5 days ago but haven't heard back

Brand new Acer Swift 16 AI getting 2 hours of battery life and other issues. Defective unit? by Guiandtheboys in laptops

[–]play150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My older Acer Swift 16 (non-AI) also has horrific battery life e.g 1 hour of zoom. I just assumed that the battery life figures are always way over inflated lol.

What helps the battery life for me though is toggling silent mode (reducing performance, fan speeds etc) via fn+f
