One time I had my cat out for a walk in his harness. He started going nuts on this random spiky looking plant by a fence. My wife and I are like, uh oh, is that cat safe?
I took a photo and uploaded it to a plant ID site (was, and still am, amazed that they are just casually online with such a tool).
Catnip.

Put salami on bread,. everyone ignores your sandwich-making.
Put salami on a cat, everyone loses their minds!
Except the cat, he’ll just go “oh! A treat!”

Is that truly the impression you got from my post, or are you just being snarky?
- Comment on I'm A Game Dev Who Got Layed Off From His Non-Game Dev Job 3 days ago:
This sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole! Apparently “layed” used to be a well-accepted form. “The hens layed 22 eggs each”, etc.
But it looks like it was tapering off in use during the 1700s. Laid was almost always more common even during the 1500s according to Google ngrams.

Still infuriating. I have actual money but can’t use it? Ugh.
- Comment on Which gun would you use in a shtf scenario if AI went rogue 3 weeks ago:
Nukes get set off? I’m just dead since I live in a major city.
If I somehow survive the wave of nukes? Meh, I don’t need a gun, I just wait for the power grid to go down. Batteries only last so long, and the power plants still need human intervention to keep operating.
If they have fully automated power plants? The guns still don’t matter as much as how well you can conceal yourself from the sniper drones.

Oh, I get wanting it to be. But…IDK, reviewing my block list makes me question how friendly or welcoming you can really call the fediverse.
(I am pretty quick with the block button. I’m on lemmy in hopes of finding fun, interesting things to read or look at, not to get in flame wars. I sometimes even block people based on how much of a dick they were being to other commenters. Some people here are lovely. Some…not so much.)

Lemmy / Piefed used to be such a welcoming place.

Huh, that doesn’t match my understanding (TBF I don’t work in the field).
Looking again at the study… Dr. Jain had a second person split the students into two groups. I’m not sure whether she conducted the followup exams or had yet another person do that. Assuming that the students were strict about not talking about which toothbrush they were using, I suppose you could call it a ‘blinded’ experiment. I don’t really see how you could double it, though.

Ah, there’s the thing. My wife and I try to avoid buying from amazon. Bezos has too much of our money already.
We do look for off-brand replacement heads, but there are more gotchas than I realized until last week.

Ha, if only it were that easy :(

100% renewable, nuts. I’d actually be thrilled just to get back to 1990s levels of coal and oil-based power plants. Even that seems so far out of reach as to be a fantasy, though.

Comment deleted because it was a load of nonsense
LOL! I was just about to “well, akshually” you about minisplit design!
- Comment on I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK) 4 weeks ago:
Eh, technically both contribute. Heat from electrical devices still gets dumped into the environment, and a good portion of that electricity is produced with greenhouse gasses (coal or oil-fired power plants).
Generally, though, yeah, the heat from running AC (or, say, a desk fan) is miniscule compared to other factors.
- Comment on I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK) 4 weeks ago:
Your phrasing of “a lot of bad stuff” sounded like you were saying that AC puts out chemicals or something.
