The upshot is every time this guy starts freaking out I find a cool new event to attend.

I LOVE that idea! One of our resident cats is a pain to give meds to so I'll give it a try!
And yes, Bo is half (or so) Bengal. He came to us completely feral but needed those meds so he didn't go the TNR route. He's turned into a super friendly guy who craves getting pets - just took a bit to get there. He's also basically vocal chords on four legs - sings all day long.
If anyone is interested in adopting, he's listed with MEOW in Calgary, Canada!
66% of our resident cats are on prescription diets. Total non-issue. I think people just worry about other unanticipated costs.
My partner and I foster a lot of cats. Some of the sweetest cats take forever to get adopted just because they aren't kittens anymore. One of our fosters has been with us for almost three years now - just because he isn't a kitten and needs some inexpensive meds sprinkled on his food once a day. 
Oof... Not a good look for Canadian soccer. An analyst specifically stating that they were unwilling to spy because they were being pressured to do so...

How did I not think of that?
She's discovered that she can get 'mom time' by jumping up on the desk we have in the room because oh man, do they never let her rest otherwise. 
We just took in a rescue litter from the shelter. Everyone has colds, and mom is pretty battle-worn (limping, lost a chunk of her ear to frostbite over the winter). Everyone is getting medical support and once they are old enough, we'll find these teeny terrors forever homes!
Right now, despite being 'ferral', Mom likes to curl up next to me while she nurses - it's pretty heart melting.
Fines clearly don't work. We need criminal penalties.
Yep - I identify as male, but I put he/they in my email signature because I a) want to signal active support for the trans community and b) don't really think about my own gender much and kind of like de-gendering my language wherever possible.
The willingness to try and legislate away strikes is really problematic...
Just printed this plant pot and the quality is absolutely trash. It's a large print (150mmx150mmx150mm) but printed using my normal settings. It's solid wall - 4-5 perimeters thick. Sliced in Prusaslicer 2.6.1 and printed on an Ankermake M5. Any ideas?
Thanks!
This is Aros (and brother Durin). Aros has polydactyly and by our count has 25 toes - 7 more than normal. He has six toes on each hind foot and left forefoot, and a whopping seven on his right forefoot. Nail trims should be fun with this little guy!
The bonus digits don't seem to bother him in the slightest and living in Canada, I'm sure he'll appreciate the extra floatation in the snow if he ever manages to sneak out during winter - because those feet are like snowshoes!
Shelters are packed right now so PLEASE consider a shelter animal rather than some bougie breed that is likely to have a ton of health issues.
Also - if you can't commit to a pet long term but could foster a kitter or pupper, it's a super rewarding experience. Our shelter covers everything from vet visits to food to even toys so it's a zero cost way to bring a fuzz-ball into your home and out of a cramped shelter while they look for their forever home!
Fostering four orphaned goofballs. Eating is a messy, full body experience...

Fantastic comment. Only item I might disagree on is bearings IF the bike has cartridge bearings as those are easy to work with. If it's cup and cone/loose ball then yea, I'd recommend just letting the shop do it only because cone wrenches are a pretty specific tool.
Lots of bike shops (especially community bike shops) offer inexpensive courses on bike maintenance which are a great option for learning.
