  • Sounds like a Bengal to me!

    When modding the syringe, I find it easiest to remove the plunger, and using a drill bit from the inside that is slightly smaller than this inside diameter of the syringe. 1/32" leaves enough of a lip to still stop the plunger in my experience, but YMMV depending on the plunger style.

    We had a 5ml syringe with a fully plastic plunger (no rubber) that was amazing. Eventually lost it and haven’t been able to find a replacement yet, but rubber tipped plunger are fine too, just wear out faster.

    Looks like a Bengal. I’m surprised he wasn’t snapped up.

    BTW as an elder cat caretaker, if he stops eating hit meds willingly (which can easily happen if his condition flares up), we have had amazing success with cutting the tip off a syringe, loading it with canned food and front loading the tip with their pills.

    When cutting the tip, leave a tiny bit of material so the plunger still stops, but not so much that the pill gets jammed.

    3/4 of our cats actually open their mouths willingly to be pilled because they only taste the food, the pill is swallowed without them noticing.



  • He is correct that the forces are different. The equation for centripetal force is Fc = Mv2/R.

    Radius is the distance from the focal point, and each seat will be different distances.

    So he is technically correct that seat position could be calculated in perfect conditions with accurate measurements.

    But none of the data that reaches this service will be remotely accurate or complete enough to make that determination. It will only have one passengers phone data, and even if it collected everyones phone data, phone sensors have a margin of error well above what the difference would be. GPS data is only even marginally accurate up to something like 6ft, and really not even then. Then cars have a lot of other factors like suspension and compression in seats, etc, that would absorb enough of the forces to muddy the data even if accurate sensors were everywhere.

    Tl;dr; another cocky person that took a few physics courses but walked away with a poor understanding of real world applications talking out their ass.








  • My poor late kitty could never fully retract her claws.

    As a kitten, she’d catch a claw on the carpet, somersault, and scream until I freed her. This continued through adult hood, minus the screaming. She’d just flop on her side and tug until she freed herself.

    She ended up with bad arthritis in her old age. I long expected she had some defect in her front claws, but she was an absolute disaster at the vets, so I never got a diagnosis.

    Definitely intentionally deceiving by OP.

    Working with exotic animals at a sanctuary is basically a labor of love. It’s a shitty industry to make a living in, but these kinds of places usually run on fumes.

    Still, the training fee, walkie deposit, and not supplying the tour vehicle are pretty sus.

    My wife’s car disconnects my bt audio like every 5 mins. There are certain intersections where it always connects. I’ve long suspected its because of other bt devices using the same frequencies. This is on a 2023 ev car using android auto.

    My shitty aftermarket bt radio I installed on my 2003 PoS is 100% stable. No problems.
