Not true, and why "evidence based medicine" is such a problematic term. You can't destructively test humans, you can't run a trial on whether, for instance, CPR works, vs just doing nothing.

Which part of my terrible phone post is untrue?

Are the conditions I set stricter than what is necessary? Or the overall gist of making calls based on poo poo science? Pretty sure I meandered all the hell over in that post and failed to make a cogent point.

Beans doesn't wander, he has balcony access. Doesn't try to kill birds or wander away at the scent of cats in heat. For an unfixed male, he's pretty awesome.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Of course he's well behaved. He still has testicles that you can remove if need be

No, they get sneezy/pukey. I don't know if they actually die from it, though.

I think it's largely that he was a stray last winter, so he's been comfortable behaving knowing how good he has it now.

Not having another cat, he's been mimicking Frank. Hasn't started barking though.

If you give your cat a high quality food and brush em every once in a while the puking should be fairly rare. I mean you should do the same for your dogs too it's just that cats are very fastidious cleaners and if their coat is of poor quality it sheds and clumps more so they get more hairballs.

Dogs will just be gross and smelly until you do something about it.

They injected it up the nose of cats in super high concentration and still couldn't be sure it actually hurt them, not to mention it was less than 10 animals.

So dont sneeze up your pet's nose constantly or eat its poop, and you're probably fine and so are they.

It's still in the 'it's complicated' category, to some extent, but the main concern is how people will react to the news with the death toll rising. Cats have not had the best time of it wrt witch hunts, be they literal or figurative.

I don't think it's anything to freak out about right this second, but keep cats closer to home for a bit.

I'd be lying tho if I didn't say I wasn't a little concerned for my old siamese, but that's mostly 'cause he's old enough that his muzzle's gone grey.

Older Beans pic, I think this was about 2 months after taking him in as stray. Such a good boy.



Little dude is so well behaved now. When Frank demands pets, Beans flops down next to him, usually in the same manner and position, and demands lower back scratches. He curls up little spoon style to Frank sometimes. Grooms Frank. He's never sprayed my apartment down with piss either. All good reasons to keep his balls. He's earned them.

See if you can figure out why.

Crack Mayor's brother (Premier of Ontario) is gonna be releasing Ontario's COVID-19 estimates today. He's already said "you deserve to know what I know", and that "the numbers are shocking and sobering".

Let's see if people finally get the message to STAY THE gently caress HOME. They had to put a by-law into effect here in Toronto imposing a $5000 fine if people not in the same household are within 2 meters of each other on purpose.

It's incredibly stark to see the difference between him and Jason Kenney (Alberta Premier). I don't like Doug on the best of days and I think the list of essential services here in Ontario is far too large. BUT, at heart Doug (and the Ford family in general) are populists (hosting Ford Fest every year), and I'm pretty sure someone sat down with him at the start of this (after his idiotic "go travel on your march break!" press conference) and gave him his "come to jesus" moment.

I took great pleasure in watching him get royally pissed at price gougers though.

I realize this is a moment of the pot calling the kettle black, but I can’t tell who he’s supposed to be taking a pot shot at? Cuomo? Inslee? Some other Democrat? They seemed to handle things really well. The only states I’ve been thinking wtf is those in the south east.

I’m not a New Yorker, but Cuomo’s composure and outright blunt honesty in his coronavirus briefs give me the impression he is competent. Hell my brother who had the virus (and is recovered now thankfully) and lived in NYC for the last 15 years said he’s not Cuomo’s biggest fan because he’s more center than left, has said in multiple occasions said he’s doing a really good job.

Inslee seems to have shut everything down really quickly as well. I remember seeing a report showing they have flattened their curve and aren’t currently at risk of breaking their medical infrastructure, and are one of the only states that has done that.
