  • The stuff I used to give my cat was fine, but she had kidney disease now and is on a prescription canned-only diet. The new stuff smells gross and it makes her poop smell much worse.

  • No, that was not it at all, according to her. It's that things that smell really good to the animals don't generally smell good to humans. She said it would be really easy to make food the animals would be excited about, but their owners would open the can and it would smell bad, so they didn't want to buy any more of it.

  • I'd be happy to be wrong.

  • Two things could hardly be more different than root beer and mouth wash. To be fair, there are a lot of different varieties of root beer - some with a heavy licorice flavor, others stronger vanilla or whatever, but they're all sweet.

    As someone else suggested, maybe you got a strong ginger beer? Those can be pretty spicy.

  • I've always hated liver, but my parents liked it so my mom used to make it. Several years ago my wife said she rememberd liking it but hadn't had it since she was young. I was the family cook and she asked if I'd make some. Got a recipe, cooked it up with onions. Tasted like my mom's (she was an amazing cook). I was so relieved when my wife said it was awful and never wanted to have it again.

  • I remember a food chemist telling me that one of their hardest problems was making things that smell and taste good to dogs and cats, but didn't smell too gross for the humans.

  • Unfortunately, I'll be super surprised if that ever happens

  • How could anyone have predicted that though

  • Yeah, it was a pretty fun time, before the feeling that everything had to be owned by a mega corporation that would wring every drop off cash out of it.

  • Well, pre-WWW. There was internet, but you had to use telnet and remote into computers. Lots of bulletin board systems.

  • I was responding to the days of the picture. I started with computers in high school the late 70s, and got my CS degree in 85. I spent a lot of time on the Internet before there was a worldwide web.

  • Yeah, man, I was so full of hope and so excited about the possibilities.

  • Yes, but because it was completely pre-enshitification internet, with so much hope and promise to be something good for everyone.

  • I'm sure it's just the demons talking.

  • Oh, k, yeah I didn't pick that up at all.

  • Sure, that's great, but when I boil broccoli I don't drink the water.

  • Sounds pretty close, though I'd go on the lower end for the crowns.

    I actually think broccoli comes out better in the microwave. Less flavor leaches out and it's easier to get it perfectly done. A couple servings usually takes me 2 to 2.5 minutes. I just add a tablespoon or two of water to the container to help it steam.

  • Early in my career I was a sysadmin for a multiuser system, and I often had to go to people's desks to troubleshoot problems they were having. That meant using whatever pointing device and keyboard they had. There were a crazy number of variations, including left handed setups of different types. It was actually an interesting part of the job. But yes, some left handed folks do that, as did some people who had issues with their right hand/arm.

  • He was trying to explain how it is one time, and he showed me by drawing a picture of a galloping horse, but he didn't sketch it out and then fill in the detail. He started at the nose and did it in full detail, left to right, like he was uncovering the drawing by lifting a sheet. It was really amazing.
