Better not, the salt is not good for their kidneys. Kidney failure is a pretty common cause of death in cats, sadly.
- Comment on How did you guys deal with the death of a parent? 2 weeks ago:
Grief comes in many forms and comes to everyone in different ways. The important thing is to not keep the emotions away, but to feel them. Grief is our way of accepting and, as to your question, dealing with loss. The bigger the loss, the keener the grief. There is no timetable, there is no plan. Grief works in mysterious ways and will take its time. Often that time is the rest of our lives - but it does eventually settle if you let it do its job. Take your time. Let yourself grieve.
I have not lost a parent yet, but I have lost many a dear person over the course of my life. I’ve had to grieve people who are still, for now, here with us, because I know they won’t be for long. Not long enough. Never long enough.
I find great solace in the thought that grief signifies that what we lost was precious to us. Loss is painful, because what we lost we loved deeply. I’ll add a tried and true quote about grief from Alfred Tennyson’s In Memoriam:
I hold it true, whate’er befall;
I feel it when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
I’m sorry for your loss.

Flash was trash that made the web almost unusable for a time. I was glad it died. Shit never properly worked anyway.

I was actually making a joke about the hydrotherapy he used to treat his condition. It involved getting doused with 900 liters of cold water. I don’t think anyone caught my joke.

He sounds like he needs to take a cold shower.

Some of the missions weren’t great, but otherwise it was a fantastic game. I do prefer the first one, personally, but the second one had some awesome power-ups.
- Comment on Yeah, right 5 months ago:
It’s actually funny, I could never play Fallout & Fallout 2 as an evil character because it made me feel bad. At the same time, I’d fire up Carmageddon & Carmageddon 2 and just mow down everything that walked or drove with utter glee. I’m sure there’s a psychological explanation for this dichotomy, but I sure don’t know what it is, and I’m in no mood to make guesses.

There’s this neat life hack where you drink enough and forget all about the taste - and most of the previous night, to boot!
I don’t actually drink though, tastes like shit.
