Kept wanting to wait or do research or whatever excuse. When I ended up taking him to Saskatoon to the WCVM, after his initial exam (which they did without me present - not sure if that&#39;s new policy or what, it wasn&#39;t like that years ago) they suggested the CT before I could even bring it up. Since it wasn&#39;t a critical / &#34;right now&#34; emergency it was done the next day rather than that night - still pretty quick.<br/><br/>I know it&#39;s a lot more trouble for you to go there - ~5 hours instead of 2.5, and you likely don&#39;t have relatives there like I do, so staying would be a problem, too - but it&#39;s something to consider. 2026-08-10T05:24:40Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstlvlwshz72tr4wq5x7zcstaht3cczguhergr6wh2mhjr0nw5slpqzypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e6hnwz6r In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd5vegxqrtnwy3xjj4tggg9v30wtzhngfulsljwkmujqg954vqgyg68p3wx'>nevent1q…p3wx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Oh, I&#39;m so sorry you&#39;re dealing with this shitty behaviour on top of the stress of everything else.

The joke is that when it&#39;s dry, you can&#39;t get a shovel into it, and when it&#39;s wet you can&#39;t get it out. I don&#39;t doubt yours is similarly problematic.<br/><br/>Between wetting/drying and freeze/thaw cycles, it heaves quite badly here. Many older homes will have steel I-beams installed all along the inside of the foundation walls, braced across the middle, to keep them from shifting enough for the house to fall in 😱 . When we moved in this house was still new enough that the basement was mostly solid, but the floor has heaved and cracked and separated in the years since.<br/><br/>As someone else noted, at least we don&#39;t have mine subsidence risks. My partner&#39;s family came from Nova Scotia, full of old coal mines, and it&#39;s a problem there, too. 2026-08-07T19:37:49Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2tqhxeesepj9zgh37qwmtlfnwxhx83du8rvzqqu7xq6v3x54k5fgzypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e60k80y0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswphaw3a2alymg9m8yk99lzy3au4g5v7ur0pvdvg2dhu5xlsp4hccmctzl0'>nevent1q…tzl0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I know about shifting foundations [grumble grumble Regina grumble].<br/><br/>The extended humidity can also cause wood to swell.

I wasn&#39;t expecting that call this soon after dropping him off yesterday.<br/><br/>It was a different young woman as receptionist today, so I told her I was there to pick up George the rabbit. She got up and went over to where they hold the packages in the little office area, and after confirming my name - or rather, George&#39;s surname, which is my partner&#39;s surname, not mine - she asked, wide-eyed, &#34;Is this George, the very large rabbit? We&#39;ve never seen one this big...&#34;.<br/><br/>Maybe not the most appropriate time - but I wasn&#39;t offended. It was nice to see George had one final opportunity to make someone else smile.<br/><br/>He&#39;d put back on most of the weight he&#39;d lost throughout his health issues, so he was 15 pounds.

Being cautious about a recurrence of his upper respiratory infection from the fall, I took him to the vet today. Minor upper respiratory infection, doesn&#39;t need antibiotics for that, though he did get eyedrops and Metacam [1][2] to reduce the inflammation in his sinuses (if that&#39;s what you call it in rabbits, dunno?).<br/><br/>BIG BUNNY NEWS ALERT BIG BUNNY NEWS ALERT BIG BUNNY NEWS ALERT <br/><br/>George has now been officially diagnosed with Big Fur Syndrome (BFS). He is apparently only approaching 15 pounds, not 20 pounds as I thought. The vet officially classified his weight as &#34;heavy&#34;, which is a step below &#34;obese&#34;, so George says we can&#39;t ration the snacks any more. 🤷 <br/><br/>END ALERT<br/><br/>He&#39;s in pretty good health overall. Not bad for a bunny born in the spring of 2018! 🐰 <br/><br/>[1] Rabbit physiology / metabolism is very different from dogs or cats. For NSAIDs like Metacam, for example, George needs the same dose as a 30 kg dog would take, despite being 6 kg.<br/><br/>[2] We actually got a generic &#34;Rheumocam&#34; this time.

Some, like the province&#39;s name, are just anglicized words or phrases from various First Nations languages (flavours of Cree, Dene, and others). Others are English translations of such phrases, which may sound odd to native English speakers. Occasionally this oddness gets them used in various contexts, like in Weird Al&#39;s &#34;Canadian Idiot&#34;, where he says &#34;Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni, and dream of driving a zamboni all over Saskatchewan&#34;.<br/><br/>The random recollection is of a game I used to play on the Amiga computer back in the late 80s or early 90s. I don&#39;t recall its name, but it was a driving/racing game of some sort. One of its levels was called Moose Jaw, which is one of our memorable place names (a mid-sized city and home to a Canadian Armed Forces air base).<br/><br/>The funny part is that the level included towering cliffs, jungle, an enormous waterfall ... anyone who&#39;s been to southern Saskatchewan will now be chuckling to themselves. I guess the Swedish developer (IIRC) just thought it was a good, unique name. I doubt he or she had ever been here.<br/><br/>[1] For example, we have towns for both #Elbow *and* #Eyebrow.<br/><br/>#MooseJaw #SK #Canada #Amiga #computer #Swedish #Sweden #developer #WeirdAl #random #game #ComputerGame #AmigaGame 2025-10-07T00:27:45Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgwgywsrqmnmcafs0ge8r0hm70dlnjk02w5svung9dpjvr5vd3h9gzypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e6agf23d In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqzytk642j3c0alf5vgyv7mejvyjzq0v47d733h6ttqea3tfxd42cjgtpy7'>nevent1q…tpy7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I hadn&#39;t considered telling him he&#39;s an astrobun.

Another week of that and he&#39;ll be done.<br/><br/>#rabbit #bunny #HouseRabbit #RabbitsOfMastodon #rabbitude #BunnyButt #USask #UofS #veterinarian #BigBuns #BigButt<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/115/243/605/933/032/241/original/841e6d5c48f1fc63.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/115/243/606/404/314/710/original/663c7b67c754f5db.jpg"> <br/> 2025-09-21T18:10:30Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfgd6ez3q3yehu0clyamgp7fn80fltsxp44u8cw5gawg78wrqmc5szypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e6ewx4kd From my recent unexpected trip.<br/><br/>If a superfluous label for an unnecessary switch is ignored, does a tree fall in the forest and hit a mime?<br/><br/>#superfluous #unnecessary #design #BadDesign #philosophy #mime #DeepThoughts #label #switch #camera #ignore #IgnoredInstructions #IgnoreInstructions #WhatDidIJustSay #DontMakeMeTapTheSign #sign<br/> <img src="https://a.mindlycdn.com/media_attachments/files/115/166/764/904/978/879/original/66f87b1007bf1b91.jpg"> <br/> 2025-09-08T04:30:57Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvtyfe28yjr8ln5e2cv86ylg9gqclhdzwfxe62d76pegtww8jjacgzypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e62zag3n On &#34;AI&#34;...<br/><br/>I finally had an opportunity to personally evaluate the output of an #LLM that was asked to do a technical evaluation / summary of the state of an industry. A friend asked a modern model about a particular #technical field and asked it to summarize various aspects of it. It happened to involve supercomputing, which I have some knowledge of, and he asked me to look at the answer it gave.<br/><br/>It was a detailed writeup, a little over 1300 words. It had the structure of the kind of document he&#39;d asked it to create, with appropriate sections, headers, with the information divided up sensibly, etc. It very much sounded like the type of thing you would expect a computer science #expert to respond with if asked the same question.<br/><br/>But some of the specific points in the answers were obviously wrong to me. Some I suspected were wrong. Some I didn&#39;t know. So I checked. I didn&#39;t check every fact and figure, but a decent number of them - and every single one I checked was flat-out wrong. It gave specific numbers or attributes for many aspects of the state of the #tech, and they were all wrong. Sometimes badly #wrong, and some stupendously wrong.<br/><br/>There were only a couple of things in the text that were obviously inconsistent, so unless you happened to already know something about the subject, there was almost no hint of how incorrectly it stated the facts. And of course it sounded supremely confident.<br/><br/>1/2<br/><br/>#AI #fact #incorrect #GIGO #garbage #model 2025-08-25T05:12:51Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9ytvvvccewgmsxt0hhsmkhaldhclp93ay7m9nxs84xuea9ezcnegzypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e6mq6gfj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv3p3rrpmmmh9gc5fj8afn7jawuazndpnvn8p828h525cvc8ufjvcj6zxn8'>nevent1q…zxn8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What epitaph would you like? 2025-08-24T17:56:02Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszatec27k6tk07evle9vk6wck4gnhuvak2cxf38q67fp0r66l9haszypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e60rw6km In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszlc3k0r3puezefvu4yukw7kjqnhcgnaqy8qrz2af3t9j79s96wjs8zyfdm'>nevent1q…yfdm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think my chiropractor would get it.<br/><br/>#halfway #replacement 2025-08-18T01:29:03Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsy7g5evwdn342ad2wacymj7v96dyd3jkjkv63ung0v0039hn0sw3qzypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e6xn9qj3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgtklv5f239su475c5lf9rc67rhhm28jt4wyga4uu0qw382tvcclsa5vw0q'>nevent1q…vw0q</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The corollary is when you (like a good person) search the issue tracker before filing a new issue, find the exact problem in an open issue, it&#39;s already full of people with the same problem ... and it&#39;s been open since 2017. 2025-08-17T18:16:05Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8a8czmv7n2tvzsy28amxsq93k0uyl9vrpjsqd592epyrpj8qd63qzypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e6q4kusk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw8fx7fl82dhd38t6cjktsddd6vdytjf50xxjhsu8l9y6lr05yn7qpaxmw7'>nevent1q…xmw7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>And you of course have one of those detangler / slip-ring things for it?<br/><br/>I love my landline.

Nothing is &#34;selected&#34; for you. Everything you see in your timeline is things that you specifically follow - people, hashtags, etc. You see the posts of people you follow, plus things from others that they boost.<br/><br/>Hitting the &#34;favourite&#34; button doesn&#39;t contribute to this at all. It&#39;s a silent nod towards the author of the post you favourited - nobody else sees it, and it doesn&#39;t affect who sees the post.<br/><br/>If you liked something - share it! If you hit the &#34;boost&#34; button instead of, or in addition to, the favourite button, then that will share it with people who follow you.<br/><br/>The fediverse runs on boosts - without them, there would be virtually nothing in your timeline to see.<br/><br/>So go ahead and boost more stuff! Your followers will thank you.<br/><br/>#favourite #boost #favorite #Mastodon #Fediverse #share 2025-07-19T05:19:28Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsq2tku4cs43dqrzfjy8ysw0lgh3qn925l6ck5hpevj7aty8wkfn7qzypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e6ru5g26 Venting.<br/><br/>If I have to open the browser&#39;s dev tools, dig through the DOM to find where you&#39;ve set the background colour of the page, and then change it manually, just to be able to read what you&#39;ve written, you have failed utterly at web design, user experience, and accessibility simultaneously.<br/><br/>Yes, I&#39;m looking at you, <a href="https://www.meditationsinanemergency.com/please-shout-fire-this-tis-burning/">https://www.meditationsinanemergency.com/please-shout-fire-this-tis-burning/</a> .<br/><br/>#colour #color #background #readability #accessibility #design #WebDesign #DevTools #DOM #hack #web #venting #browser 2025-07-14T03:16:35Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgymtg8whrgzzmkw7xq0hye66kpaq4uuaju0j7qen4s2m3gylnjlqzypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e6w4kyz8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgnljh0gagjj2wvrdz3ekgwg66wuy40ma67ftk507s2p9hc5vmwmqjejmjj'>nevent1q…jmjj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If he follows his usual script, he will announce it&#39;s launching / registering candidates for the 2026 midterms, and it will actually launch in 2031 or thereabouts.<br/><br/>More seriously, I&#39;m not sure how much of an appetite there is for another out-of-touch gazillionaire in politics, especially one that&#39;s now anti-Trump. 2025-07-06T05:37:15Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsve03arwx64rxumdah435wanv6dn2wjk97k2fkadqkn9s3604mefczypwrhtxxn9q60mpdad4esmzv5855thr8x8yf6kwdg4h5ru5pwh4e6ad97x9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs27hve4emjkrxw0azmm8u7n444cjncn6njd4shxkk4enzrvdhpkzqrdzctt'>nevent1q…zctt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>No, I haven&#39;t seen any documentaries about them.
