  • Talk to your vet. Senior dogs may have incontinent issues but just clean it up or put pads down.
    You don’t necessarily need others help.

    When the time comes, just think of your pet and don’t let them suffer. I let my little boy suffer at least a day longer than I should have because I couldn’t say goodbye, but don’t let your best friend sit in pain.

    Don’t feel bad if they have a medical issue that you can’t pay for. That is common and doesn’t make you a bad pet owner.






  • Most plants and really most foods in general have some sort of effect other than calories, at least for individuals that may not have a fully complete diet.

    Additionally there are more and more studies about phytochemicals, which appear to have a lot of potentially healthful properties.

    Humans are hard to rest though so basically, just eat healthy. Eat a lot of plants and reduce animal products (maybe, this is a contentious recommendation) and mostly just don’t eat processed food if you can.

    Even white rice and white potatoes are “healthy” in the right quantities and ratios.

    Not really want you asked, but if you are curious “eating on the wild side” by Joe Robinson is a great book that talks about phytochemicals and how to pick vegetables that might be more “healthy”.





  • I’m with you in the long term.

    I am curious what kernel is backing the computers on the stuff SpaceX is doing. I’ve never seen their consoles but I am guessing we are closer to modern reusable hardware and software than we were before. When niche applications like that keep getting more diverse, i bet we will get more open specifications so everything can work together.
    But again I am more pessimistic and think 50 years would be relatively early for something like that.
