You mean the thing that loses 80% of it's value every 4 years?
All India cares about is getting oil and gas for as cheap as possible. Russia has limited markets they can sell their oil to, so India now has tons of leverage and can set their own price. India has their own territorial conflicts with Pakistan and China that they need to worry about. They dont care what Russia does so long as they keep getting cheap oil.
The shelters are all full of cats and kittens across the area right now. But a restaurant definitely isn't the place to just drop a stray cat. It was peak dinner time. They just walked in, dumped the cat, and left. She was probably a stray, but that's still a terrible way to dump a kitten. Luckily the hostess loves cats so she wrapped her up and put her in her car for the shift.
It doesn't matter now though. Hopefully she can stay with me now
I've got some ear wipes. Her ears were pretty dirty when i cleaned them out. I'll grab mite drops from the store and give both kittens a treatment.
The "city" is a 17,000 person college town surrounded by corn fields. It's a very picturesque town. Probably the best place for a stray cat to be since there's no stray dogs or coyotes. Basically 200 year old suburb with a walkable downtown.
Yeah, that's one of the drawbacks of living in a semi-rural city in Ohio. Niniane's mom was a barn cat though, so i i figure she was exposed to worse when i got her. Her mom's owner only put the bare minimum into preventative care for the cats since coyotes are such a big problem around here. Meanwhile the stray was a "city" cat, so I don't think she was exposed to anything Nini wasn't already exposed to. I'll keep an eye oit for worms in the litter box, but the stray was probably only slightly more at risk for something nasty than Nini was when i got her. Either way, I'll know in a couple weeks.
Yeah, the early Internet didn't require 5 tons of coal be burned just to give you a made up answer to your query. This bubble is Pets.com only it is also murdering the rainforest while still be completely useless.
I'm thinking about Boudica, since she's a wild little fighter. Plus it goes well with the Arthurian name of my other kitten.
Unfortunately the vets are all booked up for months around here. I haven't even had my first scheduled appointment with my original kitten yet, so there's no way to get the stray checked out before introducing them. I didn't find any fleas when i brushed and bathed her this evening, and i am gonna give her a deworming pill tomorrow after breakfast.
The vets are booked up for months around here. I haven't even gotten Niniane in for her first vet appointment (scheduled for the emd of the month), even though i got her a month ago. On Monday I'm gonna call the vet and see if i can make the visit i have scheduled a double appointment. Other than that, I'm gonna give the stray a dewormer tomorrow after she eats breakfast.

Someone just walked into the restaurant i work at, dumped this soaking wet kitten in the lobby, and left without saying a word. I just got a kitten this month, so i took her home with me since i have kitten supplies and everyone else at work has too many pets.
She cried the whole ride home, and my kitten (13 weeks old), Niniane was not happy about the new cat. I took the stray into the bathroom and fed her. Afterwards i weighed her and she wasn't even 2lbs. She was absolutely filthy, so i gave her a quick bath without much struggle.
I dried her off and groomed her with the slicker brush and then let Niniane into the bathroom so they could socialize a bit. Nini was curious, but very standoffish and mostly just hissed while the stray just wanted to climb into my lap. I put a cat hammock, scratching post, and some toys in the bathroom (none of which Nini uses) and have locked the stray in there until i know she is litter trained. Currently she is jist sleeping in the hammock, so i think I'll leave her there for the night and try to socialize the kittens some more tomorrow.
Edit: i think i am gonna call her Boudica. It's much better than "the stray". She just peed in the litter box and even buried it, so that's a massive step. Unfortunately I'm still gonna keep her in in the bathroom for the next few days, but I'm so glad she used the litter box.
I love ousters in all forms. Raw on the half shell, smoked, deep fried, Rockefeller. They sre such tasty little animals
Huffman has been a frequent attendee at Burning Man, the annual, clothing-optional festival in the Nevada desert, where artists mingle with moguls. He fell in love with one of its core principles, “radical self-reliance,” which he takes to mean “happy to help others, but not wanting to require others.” (Among survivalists, or “preppers,” as some call themselves, FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, stands for “Foolishly Expecting Meaningful Aid.”) Huffman has calculated that, in the event of a disaster, he would seek out some form of community: “Being around other people is a good thing. I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”
Spez pretty openly fantasizes about owwning slaves
The_Donald was dead amd had migrated to a non-reddit forum a month before the ban. It was typical "both sides" bullshit from a dude who always uses the kiddy gloves with fascists while throwing the book at any leftists
Maybe you're telling on yourself by announcing your disdain for antifascists
I have a teddy bear that's my kitten's size for when she starts trying to wrestle with my hand. I'm ised to small dogs who love to play hand monster, but it's very different with cats. So when ahe tries to fight my hand i grab the teddy bear and use that to wrestle with her
I usually go with "so is your oven" but the sentiment atays the same
So it's still not surprising since ChatGPT doesn't give you factual information. It just gives you what it statistically thinks you want to read.
NHL player Johnny Gaudreau of the Columbus Blue Jackets has been killed after being hit by a car while riding a bicycle in his home state of New Jersey. He was 31.

Absolutely devastating story. Gaudreau was supposed to be in his sister's wedding today. Instead, he and his brother were stuck by a drunk driver while cycling last night.

Never had a kitten before, but i got her from a friend of a friend for free. She is a couple weeks shy of 3 months old and is an absolute sweetheart. No accidents outside the litter box after a week, and she has even let me trim her paws!
She was 2lbs 5ozs when i got her and she is growing well. She's way less shy than when i got her and has become super curious and playful the past week.
I am axtive in communities that requite uploading images, but i haven't been able to properly upload any images using Sync in months. The communities are across multiple instances, so I believe it is a Sync issue.

Sorry for the infrequent posts. I lost my job and am trying to move out to Cleveland. Add some other personal stuff to the mix and it has been a rough month for me.
But these are a gift for my best friend's birthday this weekend. She's an absolute coffee fiend. I'm not big on tropical flavors at all so I'm not really impressed by them, but here's hoping she likes them.
Notes from baking these, but my powdered egg substitute was not useful. I had a lot of issue gettting the dough to come together and ended up using way more oil than is usually necessary for biscotti. They al holding shape, but they were definitely more crumbly than i was originally hoping for.

Been meaning to make a baklava for a few months, and figured this was the perfect time to do it! The phyllo dough took me a bit to figure out, but once i realized you just need to starch the shit out if it while rolling and just keep stacking it, it worked out great! My bottom layer is fucked, the middle one a little thick, but the top layer was absolutely magical
Started my first union job right before Thanksgiving and elections are this week. Results will be in this weekend since contract negotiations start on Tuesday. Everyone is gearing up for a big fight and i am nervous, but excited.
Anyway, they had a trailer set up in the parking lot and the steward flagged me down to get over there and vote.

Been super busy recently and have fallen behind on my baking so i decided to do a two-for-one and make zebra cakes! I even made the cake mix from scrath with gliten free flour so my friend with Celiacs could try one!

I have never used any LLM's, and didn't fee like starting, so i went with a random recipe from my go to baking site. Unfortunately the batter ended up WAY too stiff and nothing i did allowed me to pipe these suckers out, so they just sorta ended up as regualr cookies, but delicious none the less.
I do think piping would have made them better though. The center of the cookies wasn't nearly as good as the crispy outsides, and piping them would have really increased the surface area.

I'm American, but my mom is a Geordie. We always visited my aunt when we went to England and i thought her living right next to a castle was the coolest thing ever.

Sorry i am way late on this one. I asked my uncle in Japan (he's American, just a 65 weeb currently backpacking through Japan with my aunt for their retirement) for advice on something to make. He was currently in Hiroshima and told me to try making this local street food. Unfortunately i didn't realize how hard it would be to get some of these ingredients in rural Ohio, but i finally got everything for this recipe. luckily there is an amazing little Asian grocery store in Findlay that hooked me up with everything i needed and i am incredibly happy with how they turned out!

These rich truffles have a little bit of brandy as well as sour cream to create a luxurious and rich chocolate treat!

While i was born and raised in the American Midwest, my mom is from North Shields so i grew up eating loads of English foods, amd Yorkshire pudding was always my favorite.

My bagels turned out not so great for cream cheese, as you really need to make the hole in the middle massive, but they were excellent for homemade pizza bagels! Made a great lunch for my and my neighbors's kids!
