Some drugs are available online / locally through compounding pharmacies as transdermal creams that you apply to the inner surface of the cat's ear.

From a quick search, it looks like cerenia is available in this form.

Your last sentence, "[pilling cat] (without drama) is by putting it deep into his mouth" must mean you have a very chill cat [emphasis mine].

But, 4 is possible.

After Salinas v Texas, you must positively assert that you are exercising your right to silence, not simply remain silent.

The prosecutor in a murder trial argued, at trial, that silence of the defendant (during police questioning) was evidence of his guilt. The supreme court in Salinas v Texas allowed this.

* The defendant also selectively answered some questions, so perhaps there is nuance, but to be safe, a positive assertion of right to remain silent seems prudent.

IANAL, and would love if an actual lawyer would comment on this.

> Now let's talk about Meta and their 8200 alumni...

And, Google ~100 Israeli spooks employed

Microsoft ~250 Israeli spooks

Apple, at least, several dozen. And, Apple is heavily invested in Israel's tech sector, shipping Israeli developed tech in their products.

Palo Alto Networks was founded by an Israeli spook

Nvidia

Amazon

...

Over 1400 Israeli spooks employed in US tech firms.

They have also infiltrated US media, including CNN and Axios

The thoroughly discredited story about Hamas raping Israeli Jews that the New York Times printed, then retracted, was authored by an Israeli Air Force intelligence officer.

> They're condemning the only democratic country

An apartheid ethno-supremacist state is, by definition, not democratic.

In the last month, the Israeli Jews passed a law to allow the death penalty, but only for non-Jews*. The Israeli lawmakers celebrated their lynching law by wearing noose shaped lapel pins. There are several 10s of laws that favor Jews over non-Jewish citizens of Israel. Palestinian citizens are, at best, second-class citizens.

Non-Israeli Palestinians who were violently driven from their homes in previous Israeli Jewish genocides of the indigenous population, do not even have a right to civilian courts. In most cases, the Israeli Jews imprison these Palestinians without charge, trial, or fixed sentence-- including young children. Rape and torture by Israeli Jews is systemic in these detention centers.

Their "democratic" process includes mobs of Jewish Knesset (parliment) members threatening, on the floor of the Knesset, the rape of Palestian Israeli members of the Knesset including, Haneen Zoabi and Sa'id Naffaa.

* The law doesn't really change anything in reality, as Jews have always been able to rape, torture and murder Palestinians with impunity-- e.g., for the year prior to 7 Oct., Israeli Jews murdered, on average, one Palestinian per day, in the West Bank. That rate is much worse now.

Read up on "Operation Clean Break" / "The Clean Break Doctrine". Israeli Jews came up with a plan to overthrow Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran... Seven states in all that the Israeli Jews wanted to destroy so they could engage in genocide of the Palestinians without opposition, and steal the land of their neighboring states for their "Greater Israel Project" (Israel refuses to declare their borders as they plan to steal more land from their neighbors and the remaining surviving Palestinians).

The fun part was that their plan was that the US would do their fighting for them. And, it worked. US wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran. Millions dead in illegal wars of aggression, all to benefit genocidal messianic religious crazies who call themselves Israeli Jews / Zionists. Many trillions of the US debt is due to these wars for Israel. The US has gained nothing from any of these wars.

Professor Jeffrey Sacks is a good source for material about this.

The passive voice and dishonest language is often used by British and US corporate and state media when describing atrocities committed by Israeli Jews.

"Some Palestinians are dead." Implying, "They seem to have just died. Nobody knows what happened." To describe the countless massacres of Palestinians by Israeli Jews

E.g., the BBC reported an IDF soldier, in uniform, who was captured as a prisoner of war as, "A young girl was kidnapped by Hammas." The BBC also reported on an 8 year old little girl who was kidnapped by the IDF and held as a hostage as, "a woman who was detained."

The BBC is still at it with the Israel-US illegal war of aggression against Iran. They reported that "180 people died" in the triple-tap strike on the school that murdered 165 young children, mostly little girls. The BBC also did not mention that it was a triple-tap strike where subsequent strikes killed rescue workers, parents coming to find their children, and 10s of children who had survived the first strike.

The UK (and Germany) are as bad as the US for media and government controlled by Zionists.

> Who was abusing?

Israeli Jews. Both IDF soldiers and civilians.

Rape was always a weapon by the Israeli Jews. Remember that every accusation made by the Israeli Jews is an admission.

https://www.un.org/unispal/document/report-of-the-commission...

Israeli Jews recently got out into the streets to protest for the right to rape, after some soldiers were prosecuted for a recorded rape of a Palestinian prisoner where a long knife blade was inserted into body orifices during the rape. The whisleblower was condemned while the rapists were celebrated.

Biden is an anti-abortion Catholic Zionist who wouldn't even do anything (but empty talk) to raise the minimum wage during high inflation. He enabled a genocide so his gods would reward him. I guess he would be a radical commie to the extreme far right. Nixon, JFK, LBJ and Lincoln, for example, signed into law actual left policies (whether they agreed with them or not-- none were lefties).

Words have meaning. Someone a bit left of a Nazi is not on the Left even if they are to the left of the person speaking.

The Democrats are a right-wing party. They spend more energy attacking the left than they do, the Republicans. Look at what they did to the center-left Sanders and their constant lawfare to keep left parties, like the Greens and Peace and Freedom, off the ballot and out of the debates (last election, the Greens spent half their campaign funds fighting these frivolous lawsuits from the Democratic party who seek to subvert democracy [Republicans attack anyone more left/darker than them, through voter suppression and other techniques to also subvert democracy]). There is very little daylight between the two. They serve the same masters, Oligarchs and Israel.

The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them. - Julius Nyerere

The US just finished divesting itself from its strategic helium reserve in 2024 due to the "Helium Stewardship Act of 2013"[1]

But, now we have a strategic bitcoin reserve.

I believe LOS still does userdebug builds, so you get root over adb by default. It is pretty much impossible to create a usable local backup on official no-root Graphene builds with the recommended re-locked bootloader.

I switched to Graphene with my new phone. It includes SeedVault which is unable to backup most of my apps and ADB backup works with even fewer (deprecated by Google). So only things I could sort of backup were apps that had their own config/data export options. The stupid, "we know best" restrictions from being able to copy between user profiles also made backup and restoring a PITA (upstream android stupidity, not Graphene specific) It was a few days later before I was back to where I was before having to restore stock OS to get a warranty repair (GrapheneOS does not include repair mode or some such thing that the Google service place required). If I was still on a rooted phone, it would have taken a few minutes to restore everything.

> As the decrypted key is in memory before the reboot, can’t it just be written to a know location in memory and have kexec be instructed to read it early on?

I set up what you are suggesting (sort of anyway[1]) on a personal VPS to reboot after updates, that require one. I just generate an initrd in tmpfs that contains a keyfile[2] and kexec with that ephemeral initrd; The newest kernel can be found by looking at what the /boot/vmlinuz symlink points to. Been running this for years. It is 100% reliable, and simple. And, for the purposes of this box, secure enough.

For remote unlocks from initial power on, Debian has had that since forever using keyscripts and dropbear in the initrd.

[1] You could pull the key from memory, and use that to unlock the disk from within the generated initrd, but it would be more work than just setting up a keyfile in advance. It was my first thought as well.

[2] Easiest way was to use a mount namespace to use a diff crypttab file that points to the keyfile, since cannot specify crypttab location when creating the initrd. E.g.,

  unshare --mount sh -c "mount --bind $CRYPTTAB_KEXEC $CRYPTTAB; mkinitramfs -o $kexec_initramfs  $kernel"
(mkinitramfs is usually wrapped by update-initramfs, but calling it directly allows specifying a location)

> body cameras had no statistically significant impact on officer use of force, civilian complaints, or arrests for disorderly conduct by officers. In other words, body cameras did not reduce police misconduct . . . 92.6 percent of prosecutors’ offices in jurisdictions with body cameras have used that footage as evidence to prosecute civilians, while just 8.3 percent have used it to prosecute police officers[1]

Cops control when the cameras are filming, if footage is retained and what/when/if footage is released. Body cams are just yet another surveillance tool against the population.

Apparently Uruguay is LGBT friendly, and a destination for some Americans fleeing the Trump/Republican regime (LGBT and straight). I'd imagine either of those things would annoy Dear Leader.

It was common, on the left (i.e., not Liberals and not so-called Democrats), to call Obama, the "Deporter in Chief".

Democratic voters always circle the wagons to protect the administration, regardless of the administration's actions, when one of their own is POTUS. The Republican voters do the exact same thing.

Thanks for that.

Overscan is not supported in wlroots yet. Seems the issue is that handling overscan is display driver specific.

But, now I know the keyword to look for.

Accessibility is apparently a big problem with wayland. E.g., the most popular / ?only? app that supports hardware eye trackers on Linux does not work with wayland, and states that it likely never will as wayland does not provide what it needs to add support (it is also the most popular app for voice/noise control). Even basic things like screen readers are apparently still an issue with wayland. Without a strong accessibility story, systems running wayland would have been banned at my last employer (a college).

Personally, I have a 3200x2400 e-ink monitor that has a bezel that covers the outer few columns of pixels. I use a custom modeline to exclude those columns from use. And, a fractional scaling of .603x.5 on this now 3184x2400 monitor to get 1920x1200 effective resolution. Zero idea how to accomplish this with wayland-- I do not think it is possible, but if anyone knows a way, I am all ears.

I ran into, at least, ten issues without solutions/work-arounds (like the issue with my monitor) when I tried to switch this year, after getting a new laptop. Reverted to a functional, and productively familiar, setup with X.

If your laptop is using a recent AMD Ryzen based SoC:

ACPI C4 power state (for powering down more of the SoC during S0ix suspend) is not supported on Linux yet, for recent (last couple years) AMD processors.

Patches submitted for 6.18 were described as "laying the foundation for AMD C4 support". So, maybe won't be fully supported until 6.19 or even later; Sorry, I haven't followed up to see what has actually landed.
