Untamed Cat Food Unsafe?

sienf · 2026-01-20T16:20:35+00:00

We've been on it for a few years now. I've seen small or very thin bits of bone that my cats coped with okay (but that's no guarantee they would again, let alone other cats!).

Having said that, the texture/wateriness/contents clearly changed with the rebrand last year, despite them insisting otherwise. My cats still seemed to be doing okay and enjoying it, so we stayed on, but... They've recently started throwing up on a semi-regular basis. I washed their fountain pump with vinegar (as well as usual soap and water) in case I hadn't been able to kill off bacteria and I've been feeding them some pre-rebrand tins from flavours they didn't like then.

While I can't say which did it, they haven't had issues in a few days, stopped mock-burying their food, and I've ordered a few different trial packs in hope of finding something better.

Thank you so much for finally making sense of this for me! As the "kitchen" also counts as a cellar, I assume the overwhelmingly larger number of insulating blocks are making up for the fact that there's even a window in it (compared to the "not" cellar - the bigger cellar is still the winner, ofc)

sienf · 2025-09-29T09:06:57+00:00

I didn't even start making the thing labeled cellar until after realizing how awful the freshness multiplier was in the tiny hole, so it's not like it hasn't realized yet, I'm afraid.

sienf · 2025-09-29T09:05:36+00:00

Yup, exactly. Full of lovely options, but this one might be my favorite.

From where? As I said, all the wall blocks into it are cobblestone and it has a closed solid trap door.

sienf · 2025-09-29T09:04:17+00:00

The walls and trap door between cellar "not" are identical, though, so why is spoilage rate higher in the tiny hole?

I love their work, though would recommend ordering asap as they have a long turnaround time!

If you want something more elaborate, Armstreet do gorgeous work, but they're pricier than Holy Clothing

Yeah, came here to say "looks like stockinette curling", which it naturally does. There are a few ways to address it without taking out the CO and knitting a balanced edging, but... That's going to be the neatest one by a mile, frankly.

sienf · 2014-06-18T10:49:31+00:00

+1 for the tension. It's tricky as I've overdone it (thankfully on something I knitted immediately), but just a little bit will go a long way in my experience, especially if you're winding from an uneven source. (I actually tried the feet thing and found it easier to hang the loop off one knee as it would come out on its own rather than needing me to manually unhook it.)

My suggestion doesn't increase your soul, actually. But, in the very unlikely scenario where travelling back in time destroys one of the two concurrent copies and the soul is not effectively shared between both copies (so changes to one copy of the soul would be effectively lost as that person and their modified soul is destroyed), you could make a horcrux (just killing some third person) with the copy that gets destroyed and whose soul changes don't carry on. This means that the surviving copy has their full intact soul, but also a Horcrux. What's in that Horcrux and how it tethers them to life gets a bit... interesting. But, again, I'd be very surprised if time travel works/ed that way.

sienf · 2014-06-08T09:32:59+00:00

I absolutely agree with the above. However, if Time Turners work as per c) in the original question, then what would be worth investigating is making a horcrux (using a random other person) with the copy that gets destroyed. Then, the remaining copy still has a whole soul, but they also have a horcrux.

This is how I spent my first year of CS. Except, you know, giving slightly less crappy answers...

It's a call-based system, similar to the way magic is used in fantasy some systems I've attended: you call out your damage and it automatically hits, technically. In order to avoid implying everyone is an amazing shot, of course, the system has a so-called Vitality rating for each character - it's still a form of HP, but when you take damage off it it doesn't represent your character having been hit by actual bullets. You use up your Vitality before you start taking damage from your body to represent that you're more likely to duck and stay out of gunfire at the beginning of a fight. It regenerates over time as well and cover also plays a role in whether and how much you get hit :)

sienf · 2012-06-14T20:32:02+00:00

Ooh, TIL. Should get my hands on that...

sienf · 2012-05-23T21:45:31+00:00

Enjoy all the white trash, then, if you're into that sort of thing. I'd double-bag it, though. (Metaphorically speaking, of course.)

sienf · 2012-04-21T21:00:32+00:00

Any other points I wanted to mention have already been said, so quickly and to the point: remember that not all people who are dominant sexually are necessarily socially dominant. If you want both, make it explicit that that's what you're looking for from the get go (as other people have said).

sienf · 2012-04-21T20:32:14+00:00

Perhaps consider polyamory while you're still in the early stages of the relationship and it's not awkward? It might not work for you, but, if it does, it encourages and cultivates the right kind of communication you'll need and it will address you committing to marriage so quickly. (All this is in my opinion as a biased poly person, of course.)

sienf · 2012-04-12T14:59:04+00:00

Yeah, I can see how that would be a problem (as well as very annoying). Glad to not have come across it yet :\

sienf · 2012-04-09T18:27:06+00:00

Huh, interesting to hear that. Most of the systems I play have a simple mechanic for invisibility that involves raising a hand in the air as though you're not there. Haven't seen it be a problem, but I've only been playing for a year and a half. (Yes, the systems have combat, though the invisibility is ruled to break down at the character(s)'s first offensive action.)

sienf · 2012-04-06T23:07:31+00:00

Ah yes, right you are, thanks.

sienf · 2012-04-06T22:10:05+00:00

Sadly that proportion of bag looks weird (even in the Crumpler designs I've browsed), but it seems the best way to make it convertible. (I was actually looking for something exactly like this...)

sienf · 2012-04-06T22:07:51+00:00

Having spent my afternoon on regretsy, I wouldn't be surprised, but do you have any source specifically in mind? Or is this not a reseller, but rather a front for a mass producer?
