  • Meet Bread a stray cat that visits my house I’ll be attempting to trap and release this week

    Jump

  • Good luck!

    My recommendation is to cover the top of the trap with an old towel or blanket and leave it open (at both ends) with the bait food in it for a few days so Bread gets used to going into it for the food. Then close the trigger end and move the food towards the trigger. Once he's comfortable going right into the trap for the food, you can arm it.

    Keep in mind that you probably only get one shot at this - if he gets out of the trap, he's probably never going to go near one again. I lost a couple of strays that way before I realise that the trap I was using had a hidden flaw (a strong male cat could push against the spring-loaded end enough to bow the bottom of it and squeeze out). I've since reinforced it to prevent that issue.

    Chernobyl Fungus Appears to Have Evolved an Incredible Ability

    Jump

  • Sigh. Misleading headline - the suspected radiotrophic ability seems to already exist in the species (which was identified in the late 19th Century; it's not new, despite the article claiming it's a "strange black fungus") and several others, based on research with non-Chernobyl collections:

  • Meet the Three Garbage Bag Cats; Tiny, Moustache and Chonky

    Jump

  • Wow, 16! That's an amazing effort and it's great to hear that they all get along. 👍️

    We only kept two of the eight that we rescued (I live in the suburbs of an Australian city where there is a low level of stray cats) but there have been two that I wish I'd been able to catch.

  • Meet the Three Garbage Bag Cats; Tiny, Moustache and Chonky

    Jump

  • Thank you for putting in all the effort to save these kittens. It's heartbreaking to think somebody dumped them in a garbage bag like that.

    Are you planning to keep them all or will they be rehomed now that they're older and healthy?

  • Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking

    Jump

  • I'm sure these idiots have no concept of the future. They want to burn everyone out in months to years for the sake of boosting their profits in the here and now. Doesn't matter that if you treat your workers well (and pay them well) you often get greater productivity over a longer period.

  • Outrage over Trump’s bill reclassifying nursing as not a ‘professional degree’ for college students

    Jump

  • I think you're right. It will be those with financial resources that can enter the profession, which basically means that there will be even fewer nurses and the cost of healthcare will increase even further. It will be only available to the 1%.

  • Internet erupts as MAGA influencers exposed for being based in other countries

    Jump

  • Not remotely surprised that this is the case, but am not holding my breath that it will make MAGA followers any more likely to reassess their worldview.

  • I wish debugging looked like this

  • Clock but we saved DB space by just returning the index of the array of DigitNames

  • There's something to be said for consistency!

  • What's a little scope creep between friends?

  • Clock but we saved DB space by just returning the index of the array of DigitNames

    Jump

  • Well, if we're saving DB space, why not just use the generate_series function (assuming you're running PostgreSQL...)?

  • Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade

    Jump

  • That's my point. I feel like they have been sitting on this for a while and didn't release it ages ago because it would be one more thing to reduce the odds of people shifting from 10 to 11.

  • Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade

    Jump

  • Right, so they wait until just after Windows 10 reaches EOL to release the patch for this annoying bug. Typical. They've probably had the solution ready for ages.

  • Clock, but its ORDER BY Hour DESC

  • Somebody used the wrong data type for the Hour column...

  • Just push through the alien Nazi episodes.

    Jump

  • It was definitely one of those holodeck adventure stories. I was disappointed that the Hirogen didn't show up as much in the later seasons (the extent of their communications relay network suggested that they used to have a vast territory), although they did come back to the fallout of "The Killing Game" in Season 7's "Flesh and Blood".
