All this isn't really a surprise though, I mean they spend the majority of their time stuffing their mouths with all manners of creatures that were too slow to escape or to weak to fight back, ranging from mice to moles and even snakes. That is why my kitties are indoor only (among other things). They will eat flies, spiders and moths though. Cat is gonna cat. I appreciate the services my cats provide, I used to have a mole mice infestation, they absolutely destroyed all my root vegetables in my garden to the point I was giving up on gardening altogether. The downside of course is my cats getting prone to parasite infections despite all my efforts. I de-worm my cats regularly but sometimes they get infected right after I got them the meds. I suspect they get those parasites from hedgehogs, I have a lot of those in my garden as it is a perfect habitat for them and my cats don't (can't) hurt them but they keep bothering them. Hedgehogs are really cute and all but they are incredibly filthy parasite ridden animals. Fleas, rat-lung worms, spool worms, mites - most hedgehogs are infected with all of these.

My day has been fun so far. I was about to leave for work when I noticed an intense smell. When I checked on my cats I saw literal piles of crap on the floor, my cats shat all over the place despite having their own clean toilets. What a nasty surprise, my cats are well trained and never do that. But wait, there is more! Upon closer inspection I saw spaghetti in the crap. Now I am pretty sure my cats did not eat any spaghetti yesterday so.........yeah. I called my doc for some anti-parasite meds, when he asked me about the weights of my cats I was tempted to tell him they weigh 105 kg. Because now I feel the urge to take that stuff myself. Ah, all the benefits of being a cat owner. All this isn't really a surprise though, I mean they spend the majority of their time stuffing their mouths with all manners of creatures that were too slow to escape or to weak to fight back, ranging from mice to moles and even snakes.

The Curse of the Seiko Alpinist I'm now convinced, that the Alpinist is cursed. I've ordered not one, but two Alpinists, and they've both been defective. The first one was the Limited Edition SPB123J1, that had a misaligned cyclops. Yes, it's a Seiko, so it's kind of their thing, but it rendered the date window useless. And just recently, I ordered the SPB337J1 Black Series Limited Edition. Guess what. It was a non-runner. That was a first one for me, and I've bought watches online before. A bummer, but I returned the watch promptly. If I ever actually manage to buy an Alpinist, it's going to be from a brick-and-mortar store, after I've had an opportunity to inspect the watch myself. Speaking of watches, which one would you get: GS SBGN013 or Tudor Ranger? All that talk about high quality watches reminds me that I still need to draw a couple more numbers on mine...

All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable. Which makes the idea of man as the image of god even more funny. Would explain a lot though.

1: Needs help moving. 2: Wants to sell you into an MLM or time-share. 3: Needs to borrow money. 4: Is secretly dying and wants to leave you an ancient artifact that will start you on a terrible quest and great journey. My life is so boring. I usually get 1-3; four never happens to me. Same, nobody ever contacts or visits me unless they need something from me. Even family. No exceptions. Its very tiresome.

Today somebody who invited me to a couple parties in his house some years ago visited me claiming that he is my friend. Just came by for a chat. Is that how friendships work? I am confused. 1: Needs help moving. 2: Wants to sell you into an MLM or time-share. 3: Needs to borrow money. 4: Is secretly dying and wants to leave you an ancient artifact that will start you on a terrible quest and great journey.
Great, now I'm scared. I have no friends so its got to be one of those things. Or my kidneys.

Got my latest covid booster and a flu shot today so I should be good until next spring/early summer. Nice to get that out of the way. Get your heart checked soon, I have a friend and a family member who got myocarditis right after their second and third booster shots, and according to the doctors the boosters were the official cause - so no conspiracy or anything here, its official. This inflammation resulted in severe heart insufficiency for one of my family members and if his heart does not recover very soon he is going to need a transplant - he is already on the list - and he is in his early fifties and did not have any health issues prior to the shot. If you get your heart checked they gonna do a blood screening, they look for several protein markers which are good indicators for an inflammation of heart tissue, then they do an ECG do see if the heartbeat is correct. No fear mongering or anything - but get your heart checked. Do it.

Heterosexual Men: Has the woman ever made the first move? (Ex. first touch, first kiss, or called you first?) Yes, I had a some women approach me and flirt with me before I did. (And for the record, I really liked that, women making the first move does not make them ''cheap'' or ''easy to get'', that's total nonsense. )

I had to be bailed out one time when I was doing a lot of weight training years ago. I was bench pressing near my limit for 8 reps and for some reason all of a sudden i felt really weak and light headed mid lift, i was not choking but i could not lift the damn bar up off me and luckily an alert guy came and helped out. Very busy training all the time so someone was always there. I've more than once helped guys with the same issue. Probably didn't breathe right, after a couple repetitions you become slower yet you need to hold your breath on the way up to keep your core from collapsing - time between breaths gets longer and you start to become deprived of oxygen. What helps is taking deeper breaths as you approach your last 3-4 repetitions. And yeah, spotters can be absolute life savers.

Man, I just watched a video of a Chinese man who died doing bench presses a couple days ago, he failed a repetition of only 125 kilos and the barbell slid on his neck choking him slowly. Don't look it up, its hard to watch - Ironically I just had a brutal bench press session in my home gym today with low repetitions and weights of 140-145kg. Next paycheck I'm going to buy a safety rack, thats for sure. He was doing the press alone and just filming it? No help or spotters? In a gym but he was alone at that time doing a livestream, without safety pins and a special cushion in the back to help round the back and decrease range of motion, lifting a weight heavier than what he ever lifted before. The combination of all those things was a perfect storm that did not leave him any chance to bail out or get help. You can watch the video to see what went wrong and so nobody here ever makes the same mistake - but I advise you to stop it once the bar rolled on his neck. LinkAlso a word of advice - if you are doing everything wrong the very least you can do is not putting weight stops on the bar, so you can at least slide the weights off by tilting the bar.

Yeah those expiration dates on milk are total nonsense. Just take a bite, you'll be fine If you leave milk long enough it becomes tofu.
Gee what thread was it on here? I once left a small unopened carton of milk in my fridge for a year. Ah here is the image.
You take photos from your expired groceries? I know its not my business and all but have you ever thought about finding a hobby? Kidding aside, most dairy products age weirdly, that's because they superheat it and kill all bacteria so that stuff simply decomposes. What they really turn into is hard to say -

" It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance. ” - Thomas Sowell Like when you can tell someone isn't listening to you, rather they're waiting for you to finish so they can talk again.
It doesn't matter what words you use, they didn't hear them. They were going over what they think you were saying, they're coming up with a reply to that. ^I'm so tired of this and it happens all the time.

Cutting firewood on a table saw is flat out crazy. Pretty much everyone I know does it like that, instead of splitting the logs they simply run them across the tablesaw and cut them to the correct size. I don't have a tablesaw and still do it with an axe though What I did today: I climbed into my apple tree and shook it as hard as I could - I shook off about 90% of the apples. I collected them in bags and now I have 4 bags each weighing at least 25 kilos, which in total is almost my own weight in apples. Not sure what to with so many apples,, they're the sour kind and I only use them occasionally to put them on a cake. Cooked or baked they turn sweet. But 100 kilos of apples is a LOT of cakes.

I went for a walk and came across my neighbor's house where my neighbor was cutting firewood on an old tablesaw. I immediately thought about the dangers of operating old table saws and that you can easily cut off your hand with those old saws that don't have an automatic safety stop when a hand touches the blade - like the newer ones do. So anyway, I continued walking.- After about 7 minutes or so an ambulance rushed past me, lights and all - didn't think much about it, but when I turned around I could see the ambulance parking at the driveway of the neighbor I just passed, and paramedics loading someone on a stretcher. I know from experience that 7 minutes is pretty much the time the ambulance takes to get here when called, so whatever happened happened right when I walked past the house having my safety concern thoughts. I don't know if it was indeed a saw accident or whatever though.
