John Deere and a few others recently paid like 20m to build a diesel tech training center for my university that includes several large vehicle bays and a fuel development lab, with the expectation the students would work for their companies after graduation. It’s starting to look like these kids will be opening their own businesses and ending the cycle of ripping off farmers in the community.

As a former mechanic with lots of lovely health issues before even hitting 40, I really hope they do work for themselves so they can get out of the grunt work when they are my age and still earn from their experience

Sometimes being my flavor of neuro divergent really sucks lmao. I do not have a favorite food. I don’t even really have a favorite flavor. I don’t even like to drink coffee multiple days a week, which is why I have a cabinet with 30 odd types of teas and tisanes.

I don’t even have a favorite texture or flavor profile of food. I definitely prefer bitter and spicy to sweet, but that’s about it. And I find the act of eating comforting in itself, but I have nothing I can point to as a comfort food.

Every animal I’ve had has reacted to my playing of a flute or ocarina. They ignore my piano and guitar tho lol

I’m assuming it’s because most people do not keep their cats indoors here. This is a very agricultural area. So quite a lot of cats are shop/barn cats. The cat I adopted in this state is actually tattooed, but I adopted him from a shelter a little over 200 miles away and things start becoming much more urban the further in that direction you go from my “city”.

The cheaper (or often free) cat sterilization clinics near me clip ears instead of tattoo even if the animal is owned and indoor only.

I live in one of those sparsely populated states, I have to drive 5 hours one way to see a neurologist. Because the one that is two hours away only sees a small number of veterans due to the way the VA pays them.

Thank you for the offer of help, I now have 100% disability with the VA and I’m also on ssdi. Good luck helping your veteran, and please appeal when the VA gives them a rating. They like to lowball us, I was given 70% after my first c&p.

I have triwest, which is the veteran version of tricare. I’m totally fucked trying to find care in an already sparse Healthcare provider state.

The government says well this service was only worth xxx in 2000 so that’s what we’ll pay. And then they act all shocked when none of us can find care

This is a weird way to find out Toby Keith died

When I was in high school red and blue bandanas were banned because of the links to bloods and crips. I grew up in an isolated agricultural town in Florida, completely on the opposite side of the country where those gangs were. (are? I feel like they could have spread a bit since then)

I’m a Navy vet, and the only anime I can remember watching was Inuyasha. I’m probably an outlier though, because the only thing I actually like to watch is Star Trek

Edit: I was aviation, so not your typical sailor

Is there a work around? I feel like every time I figure out how to keep it from uploading and just save locally, it resets the next time I boot up. I’ve been using word because the transcribe feature is very helpful for navigating uni with my disabilities

May as well pay for a legitimate match making service at that point

With the litter robot? I think it was living in a location with very high humidity, honestly. Even a litter with low dust will stick quite a lot in that circumstance

It is an automatic lol. But I get it. I switched from pet-safe to the litter robot. Loved the robot but it only lasted two years. Eventually just went back to manual scooping low dust clay, with alarms in my phone because adhd

Hope you find what you and your kitty need!

Have you tried pet safe scoop free? It uses crystals, so no clay dust. It’s just not good for more than one cat tbh
