My dog got TPLO done in both rear legs. They did them one at a time so she could walk on three legs while the surgical leg healed. The surgeon did a very good job and there weren’t any serious complications. The hardest part was convincing her not to get on the couch during recovery. It also cost us about $8k USD for both legs combined.

I sometimes wonder why anything is wrapped in plastic at all. So many products are wrapped in plastic for seemingly no other reason than to indicate that it’s unopened.

Is this what the bridge of the castle looks like when Riff Raff and Magenta take off?

I saw a sign for these guys in the lobby of another doctor’s office recently.

Old Sega consoles like that probably need their electrolytic capacitors replaced. I’d say like 80% of non-working Sega consoles I’ve had just needed the caps replaced.

You might have trouble getting free unrestricted library cards if you don’t live in the area that the library serves. They are usually paid for with taxes and aren’t there to serve people outside their community.

If you’re willing to pay for it, I know that the Ottawa Public Library in Canada offers membership for $90/year to people living outside Ottawa. You may find something similar at other libraries.

The Libraries and Archives of Canada will issue a card too, but you have to visit the archives in person and have a reason you are using the archives and not another library.

This is way cheaper than health insurance.

That depends on your goal. If you want something free, open source and self-hosted then Plex isn’t the best option and you’d do better to look at Jellyfin or Kodi.

I can’t help but think that this is just a ranking of how much people need these things. Everyone needs a grocery store all of the time, so it makes sense to have one nearby whether or not you use a car to get there. But people don’t need a bar or a shopping mall every day. So people might be more willing to have one a bit further away.

While I doubt there are like scientific papers on it or anything, the reverse correlation seems to be pretty strong. I know a lot of trans women who work in tech (IT support, programming, electronics, etc). There are also plenty of memes in trans communities about how we all work in tech, especially programming. If you search for “programming socks” or “Unix socks” you’ll get stripped thigh highs for instance.

Now whether trans people are more likely to work in tech, or if people in tech jobs are more accepting of trans people or something else, it certainly seems like trans people have a slight affinity for tech jobs.

Exercise would still increase your respiration rate. So you would be incentivized to get more steps either way.

We love it here. Canada is a great place to live in my opinion. We live in eastern Ontario.
