Depending on the cat you might have success hiding pills in treats. I always have some frozen raw chicken for my cats (actually food quality for cats, not whatever I would buy for myself which needs cooking first). I make sure that’s thawed up and room temperature, then roll it into a little ball with the pill inside so my cats can just nom it without coming into direct contact with the pill. There’s also some liver paste treat thing I know but my current cats are not a fan.
As for what you can do for your cat: Watch her and see if she wants something specific. If she acts as if something is completely abnormal check in with the vet again. But overall the aftermath should be pretty smooth sailing from the one case I experienced myself.
Thanks for sharing, might try to hide the pill in something she likes. Vet told us to just put it down her throat, while effective doesn’t feel like the most pleasant thing to do…
That works but… I rather keep that as absolute last resort possibility. It’s not something the cat enjoys for sure and I rather have my furmily members as happy as possible at all times. They’re a bit like kids in that regard: sweeten things up for them and suddenly they’re not (as) horrible anymore. And fighting against a child/cat that absolutely doesn’t want to is not a battle you win easily.
I once had a cat that trusted me enough to just eat the pill as is straight out of my hand but he was an absolute exception in every way possible. Ofc he too got treats after taking his meds.
For sure, I’ll defo try to give it via food next time. Many good tips here in comments. Thanks for your inputs 😊 Also never heard the use of Furmily before, but I love it!
I have a senior cat who needs a pill every day. He’s on a restricted diet for chronic kidney disease so I avoid giving him treats. What I do is give him the pill by putting it down his throat right before feeding him, so the food itself is the treat. He’s super used to the process now.
The thing is that Steam doesn't have a history of shutting down a significant fraction of games they have available by themselves. Hence people don't criticize them.
Also you can (not saying that you should, I personally don't trust Gabe) put some tust in a private owned company if you trust the owners.
In case of public companies they are forced by law and major shareholders into making shortsighted decisions and prioritizing profit only.
The reason for that fanclub is that publishing a game on Steam does NOT require you to use any DRM at all. That’s a choice every publisher makes for themselves.
Furthermore, the Steam DRM itself is weak af (as in “circumvention has been automated”) and as non-invasive as it gets (a simple licence check). All of this is in line with their public stance (“Piracy is a service problem”).
I pirate more shit than i could ever play, but still buy games on Steam (But only the stuff i really want to keep playing like Baldurs Gate 3, or small indie titles that are just gems (i have to namedrop ΔV: Rings of Saturn and Star Valor here, because i come back to them ALL the time)
idk what was wrong with the games you named (except hl2 episode 3), yeah, the propriotary launcher is not so nice, but at least they support FOSS besides that, I love GabeN for making even games from other studios playable on Linux
Creating the loot box economy, profiting off cosmetics while hackers ruin the game, sequels that add small features, forcing a contained story to be episodic.
" love GabeN for making even games from other studios playable on Linux"
I don’t want to say they are perfect, but they are better. while they offer cosmetics in cs, others would have made it pay to win. portal 1, hl 1, l4d1 wouldn’t be playable anymore if it was for ubisoft, you get the point.
come to think, the only 2 things I’m mad at: propriotary launcher and they took down csgo with the community stuff
The joke is making fun of anyone who does assume incognito mode is hiding anything from third parties.
All the Chrome bashing around this issue is pathetic. Every major browser has the same feature and none that I know of give it a name that makes the purpose any more clear. It’s obvious a lot of people have an irrational hatred of Chrome and don’t understand the actual issues involved.
Yes I get the joke. But the reason it's focused on chrome is because it is far and away the most popular browser by an insane margin, so "incognito mode" is universally known and understood.
Hey there, I have been lately trying to better understand how privacy/my network work lately. I’m kind of right at that line where the next barrier gets pretty technical. I think I have a decent understanding of DoH, but I know it has quite click for me yet. How would you describe it? (I’m assuming that is an acronym for DNS over HTTP?)
Yes, or more precisely it’s DNS over HTTPS.
The S at the end stand for Secure, but technically it means that it is HTTP inside TLS. TLS encrypts the traffic, and verifies server responses to be authentic.
HTTP and HTTPS are most often used by websites, but there are many more common uses of it.
When a program - like firefox - uses DoH to resolve domain names (that is, find their corresponding IP address, they can have multiple), then instead of asking the DNS server that was configured in the operating system (often automatically set by your router’s “advisory”, though DHCP) through a clear text channel that is prone to inspection and manipulation, instead of that it asks a DNS server that communicates over HTTPS, just like webservers do.
By doing this, domain name lookups have the protection of TLS, and they look like as if you have just visited a website. It’s harder* to find out which server was that request sent to, what was the purpose of that request, and since the content of the request is encrypted, and the response is encrypted and signed just as when visiting a website, it’s harder to see as an outside observer what was being done, including what website’s IP did you look up, and it’s harder for them to modify this response.
DoH servers to be used may be set up with an IP address if that is fix and never changes, or through a domain name. If you only have the domain name of a DoH server, then you can’t contact that yet, first you have to look up it’s IP address using either an other DoH server who’s address is fix or the current one is known, or with a plain DNS server.
This is really helpful thank you. Definitely one of somewhere between “I kind of get it” and “I understand some of these words,” but I think with a little term research and some pondering this will click better. Appreciate your taking the time to break it down!
I can’t speak for the popularity of TurboVPN, or the probable ease in which companies can manipulate download numbers, but note the “+” on the end of each number.
NordVPN could have 99,999,995 downloads, TurboVPN can have 100,000,002 downloads, but one would be 50M+ and the other would be 100M+.
