I'm going to start by saying you need to have a frank discussion with your fiance about who's responsible for the cat. I'm taking a bit of a leap here, but it sounds like this isn't the only problem with communication between you two. Also, and I think you know this, but taking the cat to a shelter will put a wedge between you and your fiance if she isn't fully on board with the idea.

As for the cat, well, she's a kitten. It's what they do. But it won't be forever, she will start to calm down in about another 6 months to a year. The constant need to play will start to disappear and probably turn into the need for lap time. She's a lot of work now, but when she's fully grown she'll be a lot more independent and easier to handle. You might even find she'll become a great companion once the kitten energy wears off.

As she grows and learns how to cat, her instincts are telling her what to do when she encounters prey. And the only way for her to get good is to "practice," unfortunately on you. When she starts, grab one of her toys and dangle it in front of her. If she starts going for it, toss it for her to chase.

A toy I suggest you get for her is a Kong Kickeroo. She'll be able to wrap herself around it (like I assume she tries to do with your hands, arms, legs and feet) and really go to town on it. It's good for her and good for you, since she can burn off her energy without causing you pain. To add to her enjoyment, you can grab the tail of the toy and give it gentle tugs while she's wrapped around it to mimic the toy "struggling" to get free.

I hope some of this will help!

I hate how Via Rail is trying to call it "an inconvenience."

A train being 15 minutes late is an inconvenience. A train running out of the sandwich you like is an inconvenience. This was a complete lack of emergency planning and care for the passengers. The fact that a diabetic person has to be rescued off the train is appalling.

There needs to be regulations brought in to stop any transportation business from being able to literally trap people like this all because they don't want to pay to make it right.

The business will always only do what's best for them. They're becoming less and less afraid of bad PR. So we need to make them care again with regulations, fines, and even criminal charges when it reaches that threshold.

Who wants to bet Sony will shoehorn in a PSN requirement just to play a single player game?

Oh wait, it says so right on the requirements image in the lower right corner. Colour me shocked.

So the gunner is the first to get cancelled? Huh. Figured it would be the driller.

What's going on in your screenshot? Where's the gunner? Or is this a joke I'm not aware of?

The UCP folks. The party of big government in control of everything. From municipalities to whether or not you can defend yourself in court or from the police. Gonna be fun for the folks sitting in an interrogation room praying a lawyer will show up while they're being antagonized by the cops. They can't force you to answer, but they sure as shit can make your life hell while in their custody.

I'm enjoying it so far. The new mobs are fun and mix well with the others. The new cave type for the morkite seed missions is confusing though, I keep getting lost in them. Hopefully they'll start making sense soon.

Now I want to see a glyphid grabbing a cape and dragging off a dwarf.

In this case, it sounds like the heat shield still performed and protected the craft. But since it burned in ways they didn't predict, they want to understand why first. They also delayed the next mission to give themselves time to understand what happened.

To me this sounds like they are making sure the heat shield will stand up to all the actual stresses it will be under and making sure they fully understand what those stresses are.

This is actually good to see. They are not merely accepting the risk to the heat shield, they are searching for the root cause to the problem. NASA is keeping the Challenger and Columbia disasters in mind while designing and launching the Artemis missions.

This article reads like a Twilight Zone episode turned to the "nightmare" setting.

I think there is, when you or a business is purchasing a complete product from another country. But if you are a Canadian company, there are no tariffs if you're manufacturing a product in another country and then selling it in Canada.

I think.

Tariffs are too complicated, and I won't be surprised if something I said is wrong.

 

Please, people. Be reasonable and considerate of Reddit's need to make money. It is, afterall, spez's main focus.
