ok, i didn’t know that, but i never had a dog in my life. TIL, thanks!

yeah sure they are, i didn’t want to put those 2 things on the same level! i just wanted to say that you can’t cut them like you would with a dog’s claw without hurting your cat, and if in doubt, at least let the vet show you how first.

I would not recommend that unless you know what you are doing. Unlike other animals, the claws of cats have living tissue inside, which means a cut too far from the tip is like cutting off a fingertip and pretty painful, just be forewarned.

e: thats also the reason why declawing is brutal and inhumane - there are a lot of nerve endings there too

that stock price is not rooted in anything real (and hasn’t for a long time). I can’t wait until that bubble bursts with a bang i can hear from Europe.

for the lazy people: Wikipedia - GBU-57A/B MOP

Just to set this in relation, the transatlantic roundtrips of those jets are the equivalent to 540000000 questions to deepseek r1, or 1710000000 questions to quen 2.5. for quen, that means to ask about 36 questions per minute.

for the next 90 years.

The book was pretty good, at least when i read it as a teenager. Don’t know if i’d like it now

The “Test” will probably be in line with a psych eval like we already have for our military, which will be enough for cases like this, because he was unfit to serve.

he was still able to get a gun licence, because in austria you are only blocked from getting a gun licence (for 15 years IIRC) if you refuse to serve in the military on ethical grounds and do civil service instead, and the data from the military evaluation is kept secret because of privacy laws.

That would take a majority vote, not only a single party change. Our system here in austria isn’t perfect (like most of the world), but it is not the broken mess the US have.

Regardless, i’d say the move to stronger regulation is welcome here. The shooter had his guns legally, even tho he was deemed unfit for military service, which screams “regulatory hole to fix ASAP”

looks like there is broad support for making sure that whoever wants a gun to be stable enough to handle them without shooting up a school.

They are safe for car passengers, and a nightmare for everyone else on the street. High hoods with bad sight for drivers and awful impact profile for pedestrians, heavy cars which make low speed collisions much more deadly for everyone not protected by 3 tons of steel. Safety should be for everyone, not only car passengers.

Please get an appointment with an psychiatrist and start looking out for an therapist before the ruminations (that’s what that is called) turn darker. A partner will not help with this more than in the short term, I speak from long years of experience.

There are multiple probable causes for ruminations: depression, trauma and personality disorders are the most common ones. only a psychiatrist can get you an correct diagnosis, which will help pinpoint where the ruminations come from, but the way out is always therapy.

But you can be sure that you are not bad or gross or something like that - your mind is just fixated on bad thoughts and experiences. Others will have a completely different picture of you. Knowing how my mind works when caught in my “loop”, you don’t believe one word of that, but it still needed to be said :-)

John Barnett said that the corner cutting during construction would culminate in a crash after 10 to 12 years.

not necessarily. John Barnett, the Boeing whistleblower which died after 2 days into his three day deposition, said that that the assembly line sloppiness would take about ten to twelve years to culminate in a crash.

I don’t fully agree with you, we don’t have enough details. From what i’ve read mom could have been abusive towards dad (at least emotionally), and that makes doing everything in the open pretty scary. I’d forgive someone who cheated to get out of an abusive situation.

if you game a lot, you can also take a look into nobara, which comes with a lot of gaming stuff out of the box, like nvidia drivers, steam, discord and so on. it’s based on fedora, the differences in operating it are minimal :-)

no, but every other international student there, including people who are not so well off.

I’m shedding tears for all the people who are working hard on their education who lose so much because of the tantrum of a manchild.

I’ve set up my SO with adfree alternative clients for Youtube 3 times now, and she always defaults back to the adinfested youtube app - and she’s at least a competent user. i cannot wrap my head around it, but it’s her time and attention she’s wasting, not mine.
