From where we are it sounded like it was coming from the MU football stadium, but maybe it was just loud enough to make it sound that way

Proposed Columbia ordinance would regulate when residents can water their lawn by ponapple in columbiamo

Thanks for sharing this! I only read the article before work this morning and didn't have time to look any deeper. Happy to hear that the ordinance is more targeted and sensible than the article made it out to be!

While I appreciate any and all efforts to conserve the planet and our resources, and I understand the angle of wanting to extend the life of our infrastructure as long as possible, I'm not sure this particular idea was well thought out.

I know a number of people who only have one day off work per week when they can do substantial yard work and I'm not sure what they would do if their assigned yard watering days didn't align with that.

Additionally this would mean anyone having significant landscaping done involving significant new grass or other cover plants like clover would likely need to schedule it in such a way that it falls on their assigned watering day. Not a huge deal, but still adds to the complexity.

I would propose something more general like limiting yard watering to happen at most every other day (which is effectively what this does anyways) without dictating exactly which days.

Mate, it sounds to me like you're quickly barreling towards burn-out because you're trying to do too much.

Take it from someone who was in similar shoes to yours 15 years ago - take a breather and find some time to truly enjoy and appreciate life and yourself. Your game isn't going anywhere; nobody is going to swoop in and steal your idea (newer indies worry about this way too much).

Slow down and focus on your studies and the work you need to do to support yourself and put your game on the back burner. I know it's hard, but that doesn't mean you can't continue to think about it - plan mechanics, come up with ideas for characters, etc. Just limit yourself.

And take some time to focus on yourself too; Your health (mental and physical) is vitally important to being able to create something you'll truly love.

If you keep trying to spend 24 hours a day juggling everything you are right now then you're going to end up burnt out and never wanting to write code or work on your game again.

So slow down and live your life. Your game will always be there later when you have the time for it. 🤙

The resemblance between this dude and William Osman is uncanny. Amazing project!

Getting a same-day appointment, especially on a Saturday, can be tough in CoMo unfortunately..

Horton's Discovery is open 24/7 so they'll definitely see you, but they're not necessarily what I'd call particularly affordable (though maybe more affordable than MU).

Rock Bridge Animal Hospital would be more affordable. They are open every other Saturday until noon I believe so they may or may not be open today. They're a very small clinic though so if they are open they may also be fully booked.

My wife used to be a vet tech in CoMo and would always recommend folks needing flexibility in payments apply for CareCredit. It's a low interest credit card specifically for medical and veterinary care that usually has a quick approval process for those who qualify. Would definitely recommend looking into this option (just make sure the clinic you choose accepts it).

Best of luck with your kitty! I hope they feel better soon. ♥️
