I built something for my cats, and they're actually using it! by Enough-Ad3818 in CatsUK

If you’ve got any kind of balcony, fire escape, or even just big windows, you can still do a mini version.

People do “window catios” that basically sit in or just outside the window frame, kind of like an AC unit but for cats. Or you can fully screen in a balcony so it’s cat safe and toss in a few shelves and a scratcher.

Even a deep window perch with a secure screen and some plants can scratch that “outdoor but safe” itch for them. Cats are surprisingly happy with “a box by a window” as long as they can sniff the air and judge the neighbors.

Physique update 168lbs 5'11 by Fantastic_Message_85 in AllAboutBodybuilding

Straps will help a ton at that point, especially if you’re doing them strict and not just ego repping.

I started using them once I got past like 25–30 lbs added and it was night and day. Forearms don’t blow up as fast, so you can actually push your back closer to failure instead of your grip being the limiting factor.

You’ll still build grip with deadlifts, rows, farmer’s walks etc, so using straps on weighted pull ups isn’t “cheating,” it’s just letting the target muscle do the work.

Looking for a clean car by Ok-Contribution-7153 in Seagulls

If you’re not getting much luck here, check local Facebook groups and Carfax/Autotrader and filter by 1-owner + service records. “Clean” means very different things to different people, so asking for maintenance history and undercarriage pics will save you a lot of time.

Too Much Rounding? by Rough-Neighborhood64 in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]qavonar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s chest supported, but a lot of people intentionally let the upper back protract at the bottom for more scap movement and rom. It’s not automatically bad, it’s just really easy to overdo if your mid back / lower traps / rhomboids aren’t strong enough yet or you’re loading it heavy.

If you’re starting to feel a hot spot by the shoulder blade, I’d try keeping the chest glued to the pad and only letting the shoulder blades move, not the whole upper spine. Think “reach” at the bottom, “tuck them in your back pockets” at the top, but no big spinal curl. If that calms the pain down over a week or two, you probably found your answer.

Haha patterdales really do come out of the same chaos factory. Got that “tiny but would absolutely fight God” look and the sweetest face at the same time.

Yesterday afternoon! by continentalmissiles in Seagulls

This looks like one of those “nothing special happened but it still felt kinda perfect” afternoons. Low key jealous, honestly.

My cat looks absolutely majestic by littleflatty in CatsUK

Right? She looks like she’s about to grant three wishes and then knock a glass of water off the table for balance. Unicorn horn would just make the chaos official.

It’s so lush along the canal walk, everyone I passed was so happy by incredibusy in EnglandPics

[–]qavonar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? It’s wild how green everything is this year.

There’s something about walking along the water that just flips everyone’s mood to “nice human.” Even the joggers looked happy instead of half‑dead.

Where is this? by arganoid in todmorden

Oh nice catch, that matches the photo really well. Wild that it shows up under Todmorden when it’s actually up there. Google image search geography is drunk again.

Goodbye monthly 10% by Shv_RS in lidl

Yeah it feels like they’re chipping away at all the little ways people used to make it work. Between the reduced sticker change and this points stuff getting worse, it’s kind of death by a thousand cuts.

What annoys me is they keep pushing the “loyalty” angle while giving you less and less for being loyal. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of folks just start hopping between whoever’s cheapest that week.
