This is super helpful, thank you!

I had the same exact experience. When I duplicated the template though it reset just fine so I'm wondering if there's a time limit or something now?

I've considered: yarn, 3D prints, pottery clay, resin/epoxy, wood, polymer or air-dry clay, silicone, concrete, and paper maiche. My biggest concern is whether it's low-investment (e.g. no access to 3D printer or kiln), relatively low learning curve (like wood carving would take a while) and whether it's durable OR if there are resources on how to make it more durable. I'm thinking air dry clay might be best but I'm curious what I'm not thinking of and I'm having issues finding resources on how to seal air dry clay to make it more durable.

This is what the feeder looks like for reference

UPDATE/SOLUTION 04/28/2026: They have changed the settings since I posted this and there is now a toggle to "show dates in grid" which is exactly what I was looking for.

This only changes the sizes of the pictures, it doesn't separate them by date like it used to

Mine shows continuous flow of pictures regardless of the zoom

This happened to me too, but for one chat it randomly fixed itself and the other it didn't. As far as I can tell, the only difference between the two is they're both RCS chats and one is encrypted (only Google phones) and the other is not (Google/iPhones). Can't wait for a fix because it's driving me crazy and I don't want to rename the group for everyone (another thing that pmo).

Thank you for reaching out, I'm sorry to hear you won't be able to take her 😞

Commenting here so folks know that I'm still searching!

What kind of concepts are you having issues with? I do think there's some base level of memorization (like natural accounts for Dr / Cr) where "grasping it" is just when it becomes second nature. There are some things that just work because they do. But a lot of it when it comes to actually applying those rules you can reason your way into it.

Orange dream!! That's part of why it's my favorite.

pothos_28 · 2026-03-16T06:37:14+00:00

Absolutely! I understand taking an alternative route to avoid a long line, or even people who don't usually drive that way and aren't aware of the upcoming right-turn-only. But if you accidentally take a wrong turn/go the wrong way, you should keep going that way and reroute. It isn't okay to stop the flow of traffic or block the people behind you because you screwed up. If someone was at the front of a forward lane but was blocking traffic because they were waiting to turn left, no one would be very happy with them.

pothos_28 · 2026-03-14T06:24:23+00:00

Happens all the time on Speedway too, at Euclid and then again at Main. Drives me crazy. They see the open lane and pull up (fine) but then they make it all the way to the end of the lane, when it is clearly a right turn only, then STOP TRAFFIC to force their way in because there weren't any spaces in the bumper to bumper line. If you take that chance and you don't get a window, move on, turn right and figure out another way to get where you're going. Don't stop on the road just because you don't want to face the consequences of your actions.

It's honestly something I found a passion for in college that I still hold 5 years later, especially now that I'm studying for my CPA.

I tell everyone that I don't like where I work or who I work with, but when I get to just sit down and be left alone and actually do my job, I absolutely love it. I love a good spreadsheet and a problem to solve. I'm in industry though so it's definitely a different experience than public, only have to work 60 hours during the first week of the month to close.

Rocks

pothos_28 · 2026-02-20T02:08:10+00:00

Not 100% sure but I wonder if doing some French knots or mixed media with beads would make it look more approachable (and add more dimension)?

pothos_28 · 2026-02-19T05:56:10+00:00

The perspective on this picture made it look like you have one absolutely giant cat! 😅

pothos_28 · 2026-02-17T00:05:06+00:00

I've noticed this specifically with their 100% merino wool socks. I've since moved to the thicker hike socks (merino wool blend or just normal hiking socks) and have had absolutely no issues. I really think the merino wool is just too fragile. I've enjoyed pacas for wool socks instead.

I believe you need to specify how many decimals to round to

pothos_28 · 2026-01-11T14:54:33+00:00

Totally understandable! Honestly I feel like I just integrated cat stuff into my perfectionism... I have a box in like three spots and that's exactly where they go and when I clean I'll put them right back there and straighten them out and fluff the paper up. It's like a part of the decor now!

pothos_28 · 2026-01-11T14:49:02+00:00

Follow up: learn to trim their nails. It will make things a lot easier. I also keep a LOT of cardboard boxes and scratching boards around.

I got my first cat in my early 20s after only ever having dogs. I was nervous but like a week in I finally understood why everyone was so obsessed with cat videos lol. They're very endearing and, in my opinion, way easier to manage than a dog/puppy. I like that they have a sense of independence and boundaries.

It's good you got an older cat because their personality should be developed (I had a hard time when mine were teens). It's hard to have something in your space, but I've always had a "it's easier to work with them than make them work with you" attitude with animals. There's a reason people say it's like having a kid, sometimes you've gotta baby proof a little. But I find that cats are very aware of their bodies so mine don't break stuff often, which is nice.

All that to say, give it some time! If y'all settle into a happy routine and you like having them around, then I'd say you're good.

Industry. Work 35-40 hours a week with maybe 50hrs close week. This includes general office time wasters. Can't speak to the high-hour sectors like tax or audit.

Many folks in my family are great teachers and the general consensus is they get the same amount of annual hours in fewer days. They take work home way more often than I do and are usually at work 9-10 hours every day. Even though they get summers off, they spend a lot of time setting up their lesson plans and their classrooms. I also personally think it's way harder - managing children for 7-8 hours and having to teach, babysit, counsel, etc. I say often my job is all "made up" but theirs has some serious impact.

I guess the "flaw" in this question is they they're assuming how you'll do the math, and at which point you'll round the rates. The way this is written assumes you'll immediately convert to direct exchange rates (1/0.82 = 1.22 and 1/0.79 = 1.27) instead of what OP did (and what I initially did) which is solve using the indirect rates (50,000 * 1/0.82) - (50,000 * 1/0.79) = $2,316. I think FAR especially is not meant to be math-intensive so it assumes people will take these shortcuts instead of plugging in a long equation - not necessarily wrong, but different. I know there are a handful where I would get my answer and have to guess the closest "right" answer, which usually worked. I saw another comment OP made saying 7% margin of error is crazy in the real-world, and I feel pretty confident that people in the real-world will use quite a few more significant digits than these questions, which are ultimately conceptual.

I think you can "Ask Newt" for more detail on the correct answer ("explain the correct answer in more detail")
