[05:43]	IsambardPrince	So that ruled out a UTI or diabetes.
[05:43]	IsambardPrince	The ultrasound found no evidence of any kidney stones.
[05:43]	IsambardPrince	I wanted to rule out any urinary tract problems that could explain the litter box refusal before trying an osteoarthritis drug.
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	Through deductive reasoning, ruling out most other suspects, we determined it was probably OA pain.
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	The drug is starting to work. First good evening for her in years.
[05:45]	IsambardPrince	If it was kidney stones there's various approaches for dealing with that, depending on how big they are.
[05:45]	IsambardPrince	It ranges from a special diet designed to deal with smaller ones, all the way up to surgery.
[05:47]	IsambardPrince	It's important to find out what you're actually dealing with first before you throw a bunch of money at potentially the wrong solution while the cat keeps suffering..

[05:56]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I had Leeloo on buprenorphine for about 36 hours there.
[05:56]	IsambardPrince	It's an opioid so I had a "stoned" cat.

[05:57]	IsambardPrince	I told them I wouldn't give it to her.

[06:55]	IsambardPrince	I also can't stand a lot of the creamers, like "French Vanilla".
[06:56]	IsambardPrince	Corporations, they put "artificial vanilla flavor" in them. You can get away with using synthetic vanilla in a batch of cookies where most of the complexity just burns off in the oven anyway.
[06:56]	IsambardPrince	But not in coffee.
[06:59]	IsambardPrince	In the 90s, you were pretty much just limited to whatever flavors that the local grocery store would get, which in rural Indiana was usually "vanilla", "hazelnut", and it was all synthetic. It wasn't very good. So I just leaned away from that stuff and used a quality non-flavored coffee and half and half and sugar.

[23:50]	IsambardPrince	Walmart will probably go the way of KMart.
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	They're getting stagnant in some of the same ways.
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	One of the managers accidentally revealed a "me too effect".
[23:51]	IsambardPrince	He said their apps on the work issued phones "change every 3-4 months" because "retail is competitive and we have to keep up".
[23:51]	IsambardPrince	People who talk about "keeping up" are admitting they're not in the lead.
[23:54]	IsambardPrince	Amazon did Prime, Walmart did "Plus".
[23:54]	IsambardPrince	I think that Walmart Plus is actually worse. Amazon doesn't have the physical store footprint so they don't have the same inventory shrink issues that Walmart does.
[23:55]	IsambardPrince	They also have multiple vectors that merchandise can take to get to your home so not everything can be delivered from the store. The store layouts are the holdovers of different eras. They were constructed then repurposed.
