Melatonin resistance? I imagine you can overuse it.

Your question suffered in part because another person was in the comments arguing that cats aren't a problem. Sometimes, someone who is just asking questions appears alongside someone who is "Just Asking Questions" and being a total asshole about it.

100%, this would have happened on Reddit, too.

Maybe this will finally be the impetus for developers go start optimizing their app memory use.

Hard to say that with a straight face.

This is one of those words where English is a little indefensible. Hah.

A good example of spoken emphasis changing the meaning, too.

Saw this today: buddy burners. In TLD terms, it could just be some tinder, cooking oil (or animal fat) and a can. Provides 8-10 hours of light, maybe, and a 1C warmth boost. I used to make these all the time as a kid!

A variant uses two cans and can be a stove.

Raccoons will also rip apart a slow or unwary cat.

Differences between salt are mostly textural. Trace minerals can change the flavour, and people do sell flavour infusions and mixes.

Also, differences in size for ease of use or speed of dissolve.

Letters of marque have to be issued by their legislature, no?

Yeah, I'd imagine treated wood wouldn't be great.

Does this significantly damage the wood?

 

Various bugfixes.

I'm a little choked up.

18 years is a pretty good run for a cat, but yeah.

 

Now that something like a quarter of car sales in BC are EVs, I am starting to think their privileged access to HOV lanes is no longer a sustainable concession. There are just so many that the priority should shift back away from single occupancy vehicles.

Alternatively, we could keep the allowance, but add a second HOV lane, leaving gas vehicles to whatever's left on the highway. But that probably be unpopular. 😀

Who in government would I write to express this opinion? MP or MLA?

Interesting comment on a post.

Tldr: Zebra Mussels reach a balance that prevents them from being a totally catastrophic invasive.

 

Some pretty neat stuff in here about upcoming visual changes, and minor updates about episode 5 and Blackfrost.

"The Department of Government Efficiency, Musk's vehicle. made news by "discovering" the General Services Administration uses tapes, and plans to save $1M by switching to something else (disks, or cloud-based storage)."

 

Pretty catchy song.

 

Mostly bugfixes. Cooking UI keyboard updates. Performance tweaks.

 

This is a pretty cool event. $100 for basic, $150 for VIP. We really enjoyed it last year.

I'm having a bit of struggle tanking (prot paladin) Vek'linash. I'm able to hold threat on him fine, but unbalancing strike (-100 defense) rocks me pretty hard, since I keep getting scarabs on me, which eats up all my HS charges and I'm pretty sure that's pushing me into crittable range as well as crushable.

I've taken consecrate off my bars and de-runed HotR for exorcism, but I keep getting the scarabs too, and then get rocked down to 20% health.

Any advice? I've stacked as much +def as I can and am using Greater Stoneshields and armour elixirs as well as the usual suite of ALL THE CONSUMABLES.
