You’re welcome :)

Yes, was the same here regarding the rabbit hole. Then I just took a look at what is most commonly played around France by everyone. Simple, do not overcomplicate and have fun.

I’d say as there are 6 balls per team, two or three people on a team is great.

I think (what I remember of) Pétanque is the simplest and most fun version: search for some kind of flat ground if you do not have a “real” boule-ground available. Make two teams and divide the big boule-balls between them.

One team starts throwing the small one and subsequently their first large one. Then, always the team not in the lead (i. e. the team not currently having one of their balls nearest to the small one) has their turn. Ideally, they more or less take turns that way.

If one team has no boule left, the other team can throw theirs until both are done.

Getting opposing balls out of range by hitting them with your own is fine and part of the strategy as well as hitting the small one and thus moving the “centre”.

Then, counting points is pretty straightforward: search for the big one most adjacent to the small one - this team scores this round. Count all of their balls nearer than any of the opposing teams ones. That’s the score.

Pick up everything and start the next round!

Very fun as you can easily talk, eat and drink while playing! Reminds me that I should play again, sometimes.

Have fun! If you do not already have them: get at least to sets of balls, ideally with different colours/ornaments to easily keep them apart while paying/counting.

While always true, feline asthma is something a lot of vets handle vastly different. So, hearing about how other people roll with it can have a great benefit (given you do not simply change medications by yourself, but propose other plans to your vet!)

Interestingly specific question for asklemmy :D and as someone else said: always ask your vet. But hoben the nature of feline asthma, hearing of other ways different vets tried to tackle this with can be helpful.

Our cat is currently on systemic prednisolone via pills. I don’t know the dosage off the bat - they can be split into quarters. The vet told us to gradually reduce the amount by one quarter every two weeks as long as the cat has no asthma-attacks.

When we’re down to one quarter, we will try to switch to the inhaler and see how that goes.

Two things to keep in mind with feline asthma: a) it takes a long time for the levels to adjust and thus see correct effects and b) there are so so many different dependencies like stress, food and other infections. Our cat is prone for UTIs. As soon as the bladder makes problems, we are up again with 1 whole pill per day and she will still get asthma-attacks.

So also watch out for other conditions, they may interfere.

It would literally have cost you nothing not to write that sentence down… but here we are

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)

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.

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@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

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

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?
