On ours, the back of the aerokat is open, so removing the inhaler would let the drugs out. Yours looks like it might have some kind of restrictive flap though.
The steroids were the initial attempt to control his asthma. It worked pretty well for a while (a year, maybe more), but a few weeks ago he went into respiratory distress so we rushed him to the animal hospital. So now it’s steroids plus inhaler! He’s been doing a lot better under the current regimen.
We just had to start doing the aerokat with one of ours. I was dreading it, but it has actually gone pretty well.
I’m sure this was just for the picture, but you do need to keep the inhaler in the back of it until they’ve done the 10 breaths, I think.
We are also giving the same cat a steroid. There’s a pharmacy that compounds it into a dermal gel that we just rub on his inner ear. Getting pills into that cat was hard, but he doesn’t mind the dermal at all. (And we’re expert cat pill givers - a previous feline resident of our house needed many.)
His fans: “Wow! That could have been me!”
Our state has speed cameras in school zones. I would like to see before-and-after statistics showing that fewer kids have been hit since the installation of the cameras.
Of course, said data doesn’t exist, because no one bothered to collect it. It “feels” safer and generates revenue, so they do it.
All these comments, and I’m wondering who would ask someone about their height like this…it’s pretty easy to estimate someone’s height just by observation.
To your first question: 26 U.S. Code § 6103
Great question - during the pandemic there were a lot of memes about how dogs are loving the humans being home all day, while cats were hating it. Our cats were glad to have us home all day (as was the dog, who kept demanding walks at odd times until he settled into the new routine).
When we get home from errands, the dog will of course be at the door - and there’s about a 85% chance the one cat will be nearby, too. Another cat will often show up as well. (The third cat, never. He’s too busy hiding.)
I moved and took my cat to a new vet near my new house. That vet was not great with him, kind of rough, and we could hear dogs barking constantly, so he was already stressed before the vet even started.
I’ve never seen that cat so upset. But I got him home, he left the carrier, went a few steps, and flopped on his side, and I knew all was forgiven.
I never took him back to that vet - I ended up taking him to the previous vet instead. Much longer drive but they were already familiar with him and his issues, and were much better with him, so it was worth it.
When we adopted another cat, we started using a different vet local to us that we still use (the first cat passed away years ago).
Yeah, we bought a new LG washer and dryer set when we moved to this house in late 2016. The washer has been trouble free. In fact, it actually saved us from washing delicate clothes in hot water (the handles on the spigots are reversed - the blue is hot; the red is cold) - it filled up, recognized there was a problem, and drained without doing anything more. I thought there was an issue with the washer at first, but then I realized how warm it was inside the washer, and I figured it out from there. I don’t think it’s technically a smart washer in the current sense (there’s no app or anything), but it’s definitely smarter than the ones I’ve had before.
The dryer’s tension pulley failed, so I had to replace that, for ~$20 from Amazon. It was making noise for a long time, but like a dolt I waited until it actually failed to replace it. The replacement has been trouble free. I found a video on Youtube from someone that showed how to disassemble it to get to the part - it’s easier than it looks.
Yeah, I think you’re right. I forgot to add that there’s no mucking about with drivers and all of that, it really just works. Older scanners usually aren’t a problem with Linux, but Vuescan almost certainly supports them as well.
I paid for Vuescan. There are a ton of Linux scanning apps, but pretty much all of them require editing all pictures to some extent after the scan. Vuescan applies a useful set of defaults that work for most pictures, speeding up the work flow. I had over 4,000 pictures to scan so anything to simplify that was worth it.
The speaker at my college graduation was convicted of fraud a few years later. I can’t decide which is worse, that guy telling us what a great businessman he was, or an AI speaker.
I have a cat with IBS on my lap right now, and we had another one who passed away about 10 years ago.
For both, the prescription food was enough to control it. Going back to regular food would generate issues, and if the earlier one got into something he shouldn’t, he’d often toss his cookies.
Ours weren’t diarrhea issues, though. Both of ours were throwing up a lot. The earlier one, even with the prescription food, threw up a lot - even now with three cats, I still have less cat vomit to clean up.
Eventually, the cat that had IBS developed cancer and passed away. I had had him 12 years at that point, and he was a young adult when I adopted him (they said he was “about a year old” but a vet later told me that means “anywhere between 1 and 6 years old”). So he might have been as young as 13 or as old as 17.
(Same deal with lap cat - they told us he was about one, we adopted him in 2016, but his black fur is starting to fade in some spots on his legs, so I suspect he’s older than they claimed. No real way to tell though.)

They don’t care. The only way for a Trump aide to get fired is to mock them on SNL.
30 years from now: “Haven’t they always been called Strawberrums?”
That is, ummm, interesting. Can their installed system do anything, though? There are so many restrictions, it seems like it would be a difficult installation to daily drive.
And some of the justifications are really confusing. I realize some are probably typographical errors, but I can’t figure out what a few of them are saying at all. It reminds me of the people that invent their own lexicon and just expect everyone to understand what they are saying.
If one woman can give birth to a baby in 9 months, then 9 women can do it in one month.
Heard that as an example of tasks that do not work in parallel in project management.
A good point. The BBQ place owns their own building, I believe, but in general that is a good point.
It would eat him up inside if he were capable of admitting he did something wrong. Every action he takes is the best, the most perfect action, no one could have done a better action. Every action he didn’t take, but his definition, is clearly wrong.
