I think when you have an elderly cat, you have to just concentrate on what will give her the best quality of life for however long she has left. In our case the root cause of the ear problem that caused the scratching and the hematoma was never found because we felt that subjecting an elderly cat to an operation would cause her more stress than just living with it. The vet gave her antibiotics and pain killers, and put her on a low dose of steroids that she took for the rest of her life. The hematoma turned into fibrosis and although it looked horrible, the ear stopped bothering her once she got used to it.

With hindsight it was 100% the right decision, and she lived her best life for another 18 months, right up to the last day.

Bless her. We had an elderly cat with an ear like that. It looked horrible but it didn’t bother her, so we didn’t put her through the stress of operating on it.

It’s hard not to take the attitude that Americans deserve everything they get.

Looking at the shit that Americans put in their food, saying it’s for health concerns is hilarious.

To a more secure alternative, obviously. There are other options than Apple and Google.

So despite all the tough talk, they just roll over and capitulate. The only way to protest this is to move your stuff off Apple.

Into the pockets of the billionaires.

We all knew these people were depraved, but it’s still a bit shocking to see how fast things are progressing. Where do you think they will be in 4 years time?

If text-to-speech doesn’t work, then is it not discriminatory against blind people?

Poisoning AI with backdoored code is surely a real risk now? I can see this getting quite nasty.
