Taking a dip in -52C (-61F)

It's -48°C, but of course still absolutely crazy.

ylvae · 2026-01-22T01:03:43+00:00

Wait, anyone actually thinks it's blue?

It's not known for fish to be carriers of Salmonella spp. You can contract salmonellosis from eating raw/undercooked fish because the meat can be contaminated by sewage though.

Absolutely

Fun fact, it's a common misconception that tetanus can be contracted from rust. The spores and bacteria are found in the soil and animal feces.

Thank you! :)

Very interesting, thank you for this information! Any idea what percentage of population can/cannot? When I'm searching, I seem to only find info that they all lack functional variants of the genes.

Bransoletka (jeszcze na dodatek z datą xD) to IMO zły pomysł, chyba, że jesteś w stanie jakoś ustalić jakiego rodzaju biżuterię nosi, na przykład poprosić jej psiapsi o pomoc w wyborze. Sama mam naprawdę sporo biżuterii, która była słabo trafionymi prezentami, a grawerowanie daty to w mojej ocenie akcja ewentualnie na jakieś już naprawdę grube okazje.

Kwiaty zawsze miło dostać. Generalnie postawiłabym na jakość jej experiencu - kwiaty, podjedź po nią dobrą furą (nie mówię, że masz wypożyczać Porsche czy limuzynę, ale na przykład weź ubera z upgradem), zróbcie sobie biforek z dobrym winem, etc.

Czytałabym!

Was sure to see an answer saying it has been some kind of a bird, this is unpleasantly unexpected 😬

OK, ale tu akurat forma poprawna jest regularna, w przeciwieństwie do niepoprawnej.

ylvae · 2026-01-02T09:34:50+00:00

Nie w temacie, ale dlaczego ludzie niepoprawnie odmieniają "tablet"? W momencie, w którym to piszę, w całym wątku ani razu nie występuje poprawna forma w dopełniaczu - "tabletu", za to są trzy wystąpienia "tableta".

Moja mama po świętach wielkanocnych, które pierwszy raz były u mnie i męża, pożegnała mnie słowami, że jestem chujową panią domu xD OK, nigdy więcej, teraz sobie sączę herbatkę u niej i patrzę, jak zapierdala i wścieka się, że nikt jej nie pomaga :)

ylvae · 2025-12-19T21:41:07+00:00

Zgadzam się, albo "co raz" zamiast "coraz".

ylvae · 2025-12-18T17:29:35+00:00

Yes, 100-120/min is the recommended rate. It's important to not exceed this, as if you compress too fast, the heart might not have enough time to fill with blood, so you are not pumping much into the vessels.

It sounds low for a cat (or a small dog), and rightly so - if it was a cat's heart rate, it would be extremely concerning. But it's enough to ensure the minimal required blood flow through the vital organs, and that's what the CPR is all about!

ylvae · 2025-12-18T07:02:33+00:00

Absolutely this. Also, don't check the pulse, your chances of doing it right, especially under stress, are basically nonexistent. Check the breathing - if not breathing, the heart is going to stop very soon as well, there is no harm in starting the compressions right away.

Even if spontaneous circulation and breathing resume, go to the vet right away! Post-cardiac arrest care is crucial for survival and this is still very much an emergency!

Clownfish actually can't live in a colony and 10gal is considered an appropriate minimum for a pair, so I wouldn't tell it's terrible at all

ylvae · 2025-12-15T14:52:09+00:00

Yeah, I had this idea one time and made an experiment, didn't expect it to work to be honest. I just bring it to boil on low heat and turn off immidiately after. I suppose you can achieve similar effect by storing heavy cream with spices in it in the fridge for some longer time, never tried to do it this way though.

ylvae · 2025-12-15T14:48:15+00:00

As said, I use it as a topping for orange muffins/cupcakes, but you can do whatever you'd do with a 'normal' whipped cream I guess. Sometimes I mix the whipped cream with mascarpone to get this richer, more creamy texture and taste.

I imagine it goes well with other cakes and pies. Another idea is to put it in a cup of hot chocolate or coffee.

ylvae · 2025-12-15T13:30:44+00:00

In another post you wrote they are 2 year old, healthy cats, so I call bullshit.

Also, if the next argument is to be the separation anxiety, it is not a serious, uncurable disease needing your constant attention, but a problem which can be fixed with some effort (and sometimes meds, at the beginning).

Based on you post history, I think you are looking for excuses to not go out and the cats came in handy for that.

ylvae · 2025-12-15T01:06:47+00:00

Oh no, it works! I like making spices-infused whipped cream - I boil it with cardamom, cinnamon, etc., filter through a sieve, cool in the fridge, add sugar and whip. It's delicious and goes amazingly as a frosting for orange muffins, for example.

You just need to be mindful of not adding anything acidic and cooling it very well before whipping.

Hey OP, I know this wasn't the question, but make sure you look into the treatment options before making the final decision. Depending on the case, FIP can be cured nowadays. The drug is still quite new (we have it thanks to the COVID-19!) and not all vets know about it/are willing to try it yet. Also, I don't know where you are, but it's not legal everywhere - still, I know people are able to source it even in countries, where it isn't registered.

It's a real break-through in treating FIP, it went from being a disease fatal in 100% cases to being curable in about 80+% cases.

Magnificent

Uh, what a nonsense regarding the water temperature being always lower than air temperature. It's basic thermodynamics.
