TIL people with allergies are narcissists. Checks out.
Ok, more serious response now:
I think how a person treats cats/pets can be an indication of how they treat others. Similar to watching how a date treats people working in restaurant and hospitality industries.
Even if a person dislikes cats, I expect them to not be assholes about it. Don't pick on the cat. Don't monologue on how awful they are. Realize their world doesn't revolve around you and be ok with that.
The seal in the middle might be the president of Gabon's. It's a little fuzzed out in your photo, but a possible match.

He was visiting towards the end of September.
Boost also has a tagging feature. Their Lemmy app may be even better than their old reddit app.
A few dozen users, mostly bots or people posting in non-English with their accounts setup incorrectly to tag it as English.
Actual humans who I think are idiots or trolls, I'm more likely to just tag them instead of blocking them. I see the tag and it reminds me not to waste my time answering them, but I can still see other people making interesting responses. Like there's a chronically depressed dude who posts frequently, asks for advice, then insults anyone who replies. He caught me twice, then I tagged him and I no longer take his bait. But some other people who reply to him have genuinely good comments and I can still see them.
It's the new WallStreetBets GameStop saga. Fine when big companies manipulate the market, bad when normal people do it on a much smaller scale.
It's not just the $3.5k cost of a headset. There are recurring costs to maintain the headsets. Even larger than that is cost of converting existing work instructions into the virtual environment and maintaining them. Plus expect push back from some workers, possibly losing some to other companies. And if it's a union shop, expect them to use the change as leverage in next negotiations.
I would absolutely require more money to strap a chunk of electronics to my face for 8+ hours a workday.
Airbus in Toulouse has one section of a production line where work instructions, tool tips, and prints are available to the mechanics on VR headset. There are surely other industries that are further along, but in aerospace, that Airbus line is goals. I've seen it in an open house / show off situation. I am still skeptical how mechanics use VR headsets for 8+ hour shifts day after day.
I'm sure they're not as intense as video game VRs, those start giving me headache and nausea after about 45 minutes. 8+ hours seems like it would be a lot. And at 8+ hours, it's not even just the vision/nausea, I have to assume it becomes a question about ergonomics of neck and shoulders supporting the extra weight.
Yeah, just "sigma" goes back to sigma male claptrap. But as with all internet memes, it evolved super rapidly and took on layers. "Sigma" started to mean just "the best", not in reference to male hierarchy necessarily. Then there was a cartoon clip with Squidward from SpongeBob where he said "what the sigma" and it went viral.
Websearch "what the sigma meme" today and you will get text and video explanations of the meme for old folks like you and me. I prefer ones from teachers who interact with middle schoolers; our frontline troops facing the bleeding edge of internet memespeak.
Draw your system box bigger. It's not efficiency of the heating element, it's efficiency with which it warms OP's environment.
A space heater is designed to push the heat out. It will have a heating element and a fan blowing the warmed air out.
Ovens are designed to keep the heat in. The fan, if there is one and is turned on, directs inside the oven and the oven is insulated. The heat that comes out the back that would warm OP is only a fraction of what is generated.
The one who suddenly had to use this restroom anytime the "list five words that describe you" exercise came up in grade school.
Trade coffee. I enjoy trying new coffees. And it's easy to pause the service if I'm traveling a lot and picking up coffees on my own.
Just water. Other than coffee in the morning, I mostly drink water.
I sometimes have half-emptied water glasses scattered all over, worst when I'm stressed about something or feeling under the weather.
