It is in our house. We watch it every year as we put the tree up.

My last cat had eye cancer that looked like this. We watched it for years and eventually had the eye removed when it started to deform. The pathology came back benign though. My cat did perfectly fine with the surgery and was back to his normal doofy self within 2 weeks. He lived another 3 years and passed last Christmas from another unrelated cancer at a ripe old age. I'd say don't worry too much just give your buddy their best life.

Please note the larger/heavier you are the more it can cost. Also most medical programs don't like to take overweight bodies for dissection programs as they are harder to keep/work with.

No mention of advertising in streaming services now? That was a big factor in making me shut of my subscriptions. The price increases made me cut back but the ads have made me turn them off. I'm not paying to watch commercials.

Well if it makes you feel better the high prices have made me quit eating beef. I've switched it out for beans and sausage. I'm not vegan but I am cheap.

These wipes are dry. They're basically a blend between tissue and lens paper that is used for damn near everything in the lab (microscope lens, cuvettes, runny noses, etc.).

If any of that was actually real I'll eat my hat. I'd be more willing to believe the little shit just got his ass beat but with this rotten admin the whole thing is likely made up.

I saw Rob Zombie sometime in the early 2000's at Ozzfest. He was headlining the B stage and I didn't really have any expectations but damn that set was the best set of the day by far. That man has so much energy and you can tell he loves working the crowd.

I get where you're coming from but as a lab tech my biggest grip with MyChart is how they post lab results. I can stand the one at time value layout. Like Jesus Christ just give me the results in report form. I want to see all of them at once so I can look at the whole picture.

A really life Tommy. That was a wild story.

I believe the bill keeps growing. I don't know if all birds are like this but I know it's an issue for captive parrots. Luckily I've never had to trim any of my parrots because I make sure to give them plenty of things to chew on. I'd imagine that owls naturally keep their bills shorn with diet (bones) and foraging.

 

 

 
 

Saw this nice guy/gal in front of my shed this morning when I took the dog out. The dog was completely oblivious and I was able to get a nice pic without scaring it off.

 

I was curious if anyone knows anything about the large delay for content coming in from lemmy.world? There's a discussion over there in one of fediverse communities and apparently we're like a week behind in receiving data.

Here's another old picture from my vault. This is one of our Greenbottle blue tarantulas (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens). We spent the day watching this little guy molt from start to finish and took pictures of the whole process. You can see in this picture that he is laid out on his back on his molting malt. At this stage he has split from the carapace lengthwise down the sides and is currently pulling his legs out of the molt. We had two at the time and wanted to breed them but they both turned out to males.

 

Here's a pic of my favorite little guy and one the only good pictures I've ever taken. Unfortunately he turned out to be a male so I didn't have him too long but he was a great tarantula to keep.
