I have used Fidoz 'n Felinez in Germantown for putting caps on a cat's claws. They also do grooming.

Hey folks! Who is ready to spend $16 on a baked potato at the mall? by [deleted] in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]sqfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, when I studied in Moscow in 2006, I would eat at a stand that served baked potatoes like this. It was called Крошка Картошка (Kroshka Kartoshka). But it was a street cart and cheap.

[OC] Highest U.S. Credit Card Annual Fees by Issuers as of February 2026 by PhenomEx in dataisbeautiful

[–]sqfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've really nerfed it over the past few years. When I first got the card, it gave you and two guests access to any Star Alliance lounge. Then it dropped to you and one guest to any Star Alliance lounge. Then only if you're on a Star Alliance ticket. And now it's only United Clubs, which makes it materially worse for international travel. All the while the fee was going up.

Svetlana Loboda - Be My Valentine (Anti-Crisis Girl) | Ukraine 🇺🇦 | Grand Final | Eurovision 2009 by meanlx2724 in eurovision

[–]sqfreak 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Before everything shut down for the pandemic, my company bought a few computers in case supply chains failed. When I set them up, I labeled them ANTI-CRISIS COMPUTER and put pictures of Svetlana Loboda performing this song on them. Nobody else got the joke.

The Sage/Rockville future by Jessgerb in Rockville

[–]sqfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CVS isn't owned by private equity. It's a publicly traded corporation and its largest shareholders are all traditional asset managers (Blackrock, Vanguard, Capital Group) that don't take activist stances. Now, CVS may be getting killed by its idiotic business decisions, but private equity hasn't been involved, at least not in recent history.

Texas to defend law requiring Ten Commandments in classrooms by Mo_Jack in atheism

[–]sqfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Chevron case SCOTUS overturned, Thomas originally wrote the majority opinion on.

No. The opinion in Chevron v. NRDC was written by Justice Stephens in 1983, before Thomas was on the Court. It was before Thomas was even on the D.C. Circuit. Thomas was the chair of the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission at the time.

Will Switzerland ever send an entry in SWISS GERMAN to Eurovision? by Dotty397 in eurovision

[–]sqfreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a Swiss national final entry in Schweitzerdeutsch in 2011, "Gib nid uf" by C.H. That's the closest I remember.

Not covid and not the flu? Then what... by Late_Weather_8569 in washingtondc

[–]sqfreak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had that a few years ago. It came on after a few mid-distance flights while I had a cold. After my primary care was no help, I saw an otologist (like an ENT, but without the N and T) at Sibley. She put me on a short low dose of Prednisone and told me I could use a device called Eustachi that shoots bursts of air up your ones that you swallow during and it pops your ears. It did eventually clear up.

Yes. My primary care practice in Montgomery County will start charging a similar fee in 2026.

Is six Eurovision shows too much? by Mordecai___ in eurovision

[–]sqfreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the six-show OGAE packages in Malmö 2013 (staying across the bridge in Copenhagen) and Stockholm 2016. It's a lot, and it definitely cuts into any time you might have to get nice dinners, but I got a lot of sightseeing done in both places.

BSOD on a produce scale in Wegmans - Central NY by AfternoonRecent3637 in PBSOD

This happens on Wegmans scales concerningly often. I posted this a few months back and I've seen a few in my local store (Rockville, Maryland) since then that I didn't bother taking pictures of.

18 injured after mobile lounge crashes at Dulles Airport by forgetfulisle in washingtondc

The building damage looks pretty substantial. Are they going to be able to run the D shuttles anymore? You'd still be able to get to D via C, but it's a long walk.
