  • Oh, one more thing: don’t put your cat’s water next to their food. Separate the two by at least 4 meters. Across the room, or preferably in another room. Get a water bowl that’ll hold a few liters and auto fills. Cats don’t like their water by their food, and you should make sure your cat always has plenty available. Also they like water that’s moving. A fountain is good, but my cat took to the self filling water bowl just fine and it seems to work a lot better for her. Once I switched to it from water just in a bowl the amount she drank tripled.


  • My cat has these little plastic mice covered in rabbit fur will a little rattle ball inside them. She goes nuts for them. Her favorite game is fetch.

    You can find them all over Amazon super cheap.

    And yes, you’ll want cat trees, they like to be high. Also if you can get your cat a tree in front of a window, put it a bird feeder out there.


  • Can you summon a song in your head? A melody?

    It’s that… But it’s your voice. And you employ it to think. It’s how I argue with myself and reason my way through a thing. I’m not sure how I’d get along without it, except every once in a while I get stuck on a problem, so I do something different. Often, the right solution to the thing I wanted to do will pop into my head. Then I need to work backwards how I got there. Both are useful, I prefer the information up front though.


  • I use it for reasoning. It’s a way to talk to myself without having to do so out loud, which I do a lot.

    There is a segment of the population who, apparently, don’t have one. Even deaf people apparently have an inner monologue of hand signs visualized. But this segment just lacks one entirely. I don’t understand how they think, how they come to a conclusion. Things just pop into my mind, when I take my mind away from other matters and let my subconscious bake on an item… is this the way they think about everything? I don’t know.

    Want an honest answer?

    Onboard are >=2 bits of code. At least one of those is a specific system trained to recognize a “wake word”. This specific system (ostensibly) doesn’t send anything to an outside party. Its entire job is to recognize one wake phrase: Alexa, Ok Google, or Siri, and then if that wake phrase is used it responds and tells the second system to listen. As you can imagine, this is a pretty easy job to get right 80% of the time. So that can be put on a chip. So then it does its job, and it’s the second system that sends everything to an internet service for whatever reason.








  • Don’t eat within a few hours of going to bed. It’s likely you have light acid reflux and sleeping with a full stomach, particularly when it’s full of something so rich and acidic, will compound the problem significantly.

    Also I’d recommend lowering the amount you’re eating. Eat just until you’re no longer hungry, not to the point that you’re full. If you want an extra slice later as a snack cold pizza is awesome, but you can’t un-eat the slice or slices that are punishing your guts.
