Yea, they can live pretty long. It’s mostly the dangers out there (cars, people, poison, other animals) that shorten the lifespan drastically.
That’s why indoor cats have a longer lifespan on average.
Also, the kidneys… keep an eye on them and your cat should do pretty well for a long time

Totally not a dumb question tbh - the answer probably also highly depends on where you’re from.
In Germany (also highly depends on county/city) yes, they do normally fare pretty well and shelters often operate multiple feeding stations where there are a lot of strays. So they get to know the „local strays“ and can keep an eye on them via volunteers and cams.
When a cat is visibly sick, they catch them at this station, treat them and if the cat is alright, oftentimes release them again - shelters are notoriously full and money ist scarce for these organisations unfortunately…
However, if there are conditions that make life for this cat (or others - e.g. FIV) dangerous, they are normally kept in the shelter and then opened for adoption as a „only indoors cat“.
Also, older cats often end up in shelters because they often belonged to older people - and when they can’t care for the cats anymore, have to move or die one day, the cats have to go somewhere too.

Interesting, where do you live that “Malzbier” is alcoholic? Here they are normally the sweet non-alcoholic drinks e.g. children drink

Damn, my new pack of yerba mate infused with pomelo arrived today. I just gulped down the whole cup in one big sip. Fucking delicious as a terere.

Yeah, iirc TetraPak advertised as being an eco-friendly packaging and was prohibited to do so (at least in some countries, dunno) exactly because of that.

Zettlr is a bit similar to Obsidian and FOSS, but imo lacks a bit in the hierarchical options.
I really like Anytype, too. Also Foss, can run/store everything locally but they also offer hosted plans. It has a different paradigm where everything is typed. But this offers a lot possibilities (linking things, using sets and collections)

Yeah, turning it a bit to the side is no big deal.
However, I recently found out that this makes drinking things a little more viscous absolutely impossible without messing up your shit.
I drank a Kefir, which you normally shake before drinking. So there is a lot of it clinging to the inside of the cap for dear life - up until to that very moment you take a sip. Then, it decides that it had enough and spills on your clothes, face, shoes - whatever the fuck it can possibly get to.
So either you need a glass, let it sit until the cap is mostly empty or lick that cap and look like a complete degenerate.

Completely ignoring that fucking crazy statement from the video:
Yes, it can contain meat. But you normally start somewhere at around 5months with only single types of veggies, so you can check allergies and also it’s easier for their digestion. I think you normally do not start any meat before 8 or 9 months.

Kinda sounds like a bad joke… but in Germany they do.
They are being lowered into a pit in masses and then stunned using CO2. In theory (and propagated as such) a rather “good way to go”, but they tend to suffer a fucking awfully long time, because well… they’re being suffocated alive with a lot of them in a small pit. So yea…

Brave girl! And good on you to neuter them! Give her a lot of cuddles and treats :)
For the pills: A stupidly good tip I’ve read on Lemmy a while back is butter! Cats love that stuff and it masks the bitterness of the medicine. Wash your hands after initial handling of the pill, rub them in a bit of butter between your fingers and optionally put them into a snack your cat likes. That way, I can give my one very picky cat its meds daily.
When our cat had this surgery, the vet told us that she should not jump and climb if possible. So, maybe set everything she likes up the way so she won’t have to climb/jump? Ours especially liked to crawl into our bedsheets afterwards, so I set up the bed on the ground for some nights.
And, if you have another cat: separate them if you can’t watch them. Cats can’t really recognise their fellows after a surgery (meds, wounds and the vet mask their normal smell) and might go a bit berserk on them.

As almost everybody already said: Just try it. Get some protectors and a helmet - don’t give a single shit whether anybody would think that’s not cool or goofy or whatever. You love your body and want to protect it. That’s rad imo. Also: a helmet is more real estate for awesome stickers ;)
Then remember two things: bend your knees and lean forward. Also, you will fall and get up again. That’s part of skateboarding. Try to learn how to correctly fall: loosen your body and try to always divert the impact by rolling and “pushing the ground”. Find out if you’re regular or goofy and just go for it.
I highly recommend the beginner videos from braille Skateboarding on YouTube! They have a lot of tips for everything.

Yes, I think that’s the consensus on how to pronounce it.
In case anyone has never heard the acronym: it stands for what you see is what you get. As opposed to what you see is what you mean (e. g. TeX)

The good reason as stated in another comment is having hairy housemates ;)
Also, I personally much prefer to get into a tidy bed, it’s just such a comfy feeling :3
frosch 6 months ago • 100%
Yeah… we’ve got furry little idiots that will spread hair everywhere in the bed. It’s a bit nicer to have that on top of the blankets instead of in your bed

That’s a good one! I’ll try this out tomorrow 👍
My 2yo has one night with kind of a blue hour every other week, where he wakes up in the night and is just completely awake for 1-2,5 hours. Wanting to read books, maybe snack a bit. They’re more common for him when there’s something up (milestones like learning a lot new words, when he learned to walk, teething, …) Do any of you experience them? How do you handle this? We manage okay with keeping the light low, reading books that he can choose, but otherwise enforced staying in the bed.
So, we switched from one really big blanket to two individual smaller ones. And every day I’m struggling with the decision. Do I a) let them overlap, which looks good but is a damn hassle to get undone for sleeping b) have them separate and kinda crinkle them so they only cover one half of the bed, which looks ridiculously bad c) some third option my simple mind could not come up with?

Auch ein guter Punkt! Manche Städte und Regionen bieten sogar in ihren Grünflächenämtern Saatgutmischungen mit heimischen Pflanzen an :)

Second this! Ich verstehe es auch nicht ganz, weil das sinnvollste (kommt natürlich auf die Menge an) einfach drübermähen (am besten mit Mulcher natürlich) ist. Und das ist zeitgleich auch noch das einfachste… ich sammel immer genug für ein, zwei Häufchen für Igel, Insekten etc mit dem Rechen weg; der Rest bleibt kleingemäht auf dem Grün.

EAC is fine, actually. They planned on moving to another Anti-Cheat that is definitely not supporting Linux (forgot the name), but this has been postponed atm

Strangely, I’m currently on the search for the exact same thing :D Your post was weirdly close to my own thoughts about this that I got stuck on it. Maybe you might try „Insurgency: Sandstorm“. Very very good Gunplay, some years old by now but at least in the EU or US it’s really not a problem to find a full match in about some seconds. There’s no grind - all weapons and attachements are unlocked right away, the only thing you can buy are weapon skins. It is on the „realistic“ end of the casual spectrum tho. Also, compared to COD or OW, the rounds feel rather slow.
Another one you can check out is „BattleBit Remastered“. It’s pretty hyped right now and kinda like what Battlefield should have been. It is extremely hectic and chaotic. The gunplay and customisation is really really good. Personally, it wasn’t really for me and I just could not get over the Roblox-Graphics… this one also works perfectly on Linux with Proton!
Honourable mention: with its Steam-Release it’s also a breeze to run OW2 on Linux! If you want to give it another try.
Edit: forgot this one. As you mentioned Halo - have you tried Halo: Infinite? This one is fucking infested with microtransaction tho… there is no chance to grind the content humanely possible without paying

Fun fact: in Germany, the 70s series „The Persuaders“ has cult status because of this. Everywhere else it kinda flopped, but the German dub is soo hilariously nonsensical that everybody loved it.
The people that were in charge of the dub are the same as for all the Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill Movies.

I don’t make hexmaps, but I’m quite fond of Dungeonscrawl. IIRC, it supports hex-backgrounds as well as hexagonal rooms. It’s pretty straightforward and easy to use, ymmv for hexmaps tho
