What aspect of it do you think is offered for the cat if it’s an infinitely dripping tap vs being changed regularly? Putting kidney failure on the fault of water quality alone without a source is pretty asinine.

These were so fun! I barely understood them as a kid but still had a blast scanning stuff for monsters and items

House of leaves for me too 😅 got 80% and loved it, then got busy again… now I’m intimidated to pick it back up

Those are changes in parent company names though while the services Facebook and Google still exist. The rebrand of Twitter to X continuing to not stick for people is a much bigger failure on their part than Meta and Alphabet not entering the general zeitgeist.

I will also pay the toy addict dog tax

Been pronouncing the L up to now?

Yeah, if anything, comparing this conservative line of thinking to previously established DEI policies grants it way more validity than it deserves. It’s hard to find the best ways to point out but not normalize their blatant hypocrisy.

I guess I’m glad somebody on the left is finally reciprocating the populist style memeing necessary to contend with trump and current far right politics. “Fighting fire with fire” would feel a lot better though if our flamethrower supported trans rights, among other things.

Trump won twice not just by being a memelord but by leaning fully into the populism necessary for his base. You can’t achieve a ‘left’ version of that by just meeting him at the meme level. The contending policies have to be so popular that they’re obvious.

Yeah gotta be this. Decaying arthropod smell is pretty gnarly

A lot harder to buy that at the store unfortunately.

Is this “article” just a summary of a random YouTube video? Not sure this should be on c/news

It depends if it’s a voltage that’s triggering the speaker via a circuit on that IC, or if it ends up powering the speaker directly, and I’d bet the former. Putting a resistor in series with one of the speaker leads is more likely to achieve what you’re hoping for (without knowing more about the circuit).

Do voices and the buzzer sound come out of the same speaker shown in the picture, or is there a separate little “buzzer” speaker in there?

I’m going to travel internationally for the first time thanks to a work trip. Stressed but excited!

Anybody have any “must-sees” in Taipei?

In the house or somewhere else?

What type of cat is this?

I don’t have a ton of experience but I’ve kept Nepenthes pitchers before - the ones I’ve kept are pretty particular to humidity staying up and not getting dry soil. A lot of carnivorous plants also need distilled (or similar) water to stay happy.

That being said, there’s lots of carnivorous species that aren’t tropical or picky! Check out some Saracanea pitcher species if the tropical ones are too much to deal with

The Library of Babel by Borges melted my brain as a teenager.
