I always forget how cursed pre-beard Riker looks 😶

My childhood cats hated their bells so much they learned how to abuse the breakaway safety clasps on their collars and get them off entirely. Sneaky indeed.

I think it might be a bell, but definitely some kind of collar accessory thing.

I was thinking very finely ground parsley or basil would make that color. But I’ve never seen either that powderized.

I’ve been driving myself insane for 10 minutes over this; what is the garnish?

Yeah it’s #2 I have the problem with. If I’m not there when it happens the smell diffuses out into the house and lingers even once the source is disposed of. I think half the problem is my cats make no attempt to bury it with the pellets where before with the litter they would entirely cover it. I’m surprised to hear people had problems with smell with clay litter, never noticed it myself. It was the dust that drove me to switch (plus cost and environmental stuff, but if I’m being honest the dust is what finally got me to research alternatives)

Do you have a good solution for the smell? I recently switched to wood pellets and I swear I can’t enter the room if my cat has recently used the box.

This is probably on the right track, but just wanted to add a little detail. Elastic deformation is when something fully springs back to its original shape. Plastic deformation has some spring back, but some portion of the deformation remains after the force is removed. Unless of course you bend it to the point of breaking. I’d imagine that means that in the brittle zone in the image there’s virtually no deformation, just force applied until a break occurs.

Can’t wait to see if the negroni encased in a giant fake ice cube was the climax of that bit or if there’s something even more delightfully unhinged waiting for us.

Something about the professional, detached tone combined with the absolute slapstick insanity of the article’s content makes this perfect comedy

Saw this predicted by many people right from the beginning of the protest talks, but it still stings to see it play out. What a sinister move.
