Somehow, in that context, it feels more empathetic, like "I have been there and felt that, and I respect what you have done" than it does in other situations, but I can't say for sure that the people on the receiving end feel the same way. ![]() The few instances where I can think of that I have used it directly as "I'm so proud of you for X" is when it is something I know that someone has struggled with as an aspect of their anxiety or depression and finally managed to do. I tend to say "you must be so proud!" instead. I have the same feeling of weirdness about it that you do - it feels a bit like it is patronizing or credit-taking. ![]() Maybe? My instinctive response is no, but I'd have to give this more thought. Does being “proud” of someone imply that one assumed the person they’re proud of could have just as easily done something non-prideworthy? I haven't thought about this in so many words. an “social” “equal”?) As noted above, not on a regular basis, but yes.ĥ. Do you ever tell your partner you’re proud of them? (I.e. Is this cultural? I don't know, but FWIW, I'm from Repressed WASP-y People and that probably features into why I would say this very rarely it's not something I recall hearing when I was growing up, I think it would have been too emotionally demonstrative? "You did a good job" might carry an undertone of pride but the actual word wouldn't have been spoken.Ĥ. ![]() Is this normal or weird? Context-dependentĢ. It's not something I'd say, for example, at work or to an acquaintance or even an only somewhat-close friend, or in any random circumstance even with dear friends.ġ. It's something I say very rarely and only in the context of a few specific very close relationships in rare situations where I know something was really difficult/scary/whatever because I've provided some support around that thing.

If you prefer an auto feeder with a fully transparent tank, there are options like the Transparent Food Tank Feeder or the Easy Feed 6L Automatic Pet Feeder. If you’re worried that your cat will try to play with the feeder, rest assured that infrared sensors will automatically stop the feeder when an obstruction is detected. ![]() You can also record your voice to call your pet for mealtime. There is a transparent window so you can see when the food level is getting low. With the Granary Automatic Pet Feeder (pictured above), every part of the feeder-from storage to dispensing-is sealed to prevent loss of moisture, keep every bite fresh, and to keep your cat’s food safe from pests, bacteria, and mold. They automatically dispense food on your desired schedule, portion out the food, and are partially dishwasher safe. Petlibro currently offers several types of auto pet feeders that range in capacity (3-, 4- or 6-liter), price ($59.99-$89.99), and features. Their designs are perfect for minimalists who are practical, but also love gadgets that look sleek and streamlined. ![]() With a mission to have pet owners connect with pets using trustworthy products, the company has designed items that can be ordered online, simply integrated into the lives of pet owners and their beloved pets, and quickly improve their day to day and health. Founded in 2019, Petlibro is a company that creates automatic pet feeders and water fountains for both cats and dogs. ![]() Species identity was confirmed using the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD ). ![]() Then, 150-bp paired-end sequences were collected with a single shared run on an Illumina NovaSeq. DNA was extracted from the sample using a Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit before being sent to the University of California Davis Genome Center for library preparation and sequencing. montanus individual from Utah (UMNH:Mamm:30891 38.19381N, −111.5824E) was misidentified as M. Raw reads were used as input for de novo genome assembly with Discovar, as recommended in the program documentation.Īs part of a separate project, a single M. SOAPdenovo was run with k-mer values of 63, 89, 95, and 101 based on analysis of optimal k-mer values in kmerGenie v. SOAPdenovo assemblies were performed with settings max_rd_len=150, avg_ins=300, reverse_seq=0, asm_flags=3, rd_len_cutoff=150, rank=1, pair_num_cutoff=3, and map_len=32. 0.38 (Trimmomatic, RRID: SCR_011848) with settings ILLUMINACLIP: 2:30:10, LEADING:3, TRAILING:3, SLIDINGWINDOW:4:15, and MINLEN:36. For SOAPdenovo, quality trimming was performed using fastQC v. 2.04 (SOAP, RRID: SCR_000689) and Discovar de novo v. Genome assembly was performed using two different de Bruijn graph-based programs, SOAPdenovo v. Then, 150-bp paired-end reads were sequenced on two runs of an Illumina HiSeqX. DNA was extracted using a Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit, and the DNA was sent for library preparation and sequencing by Iridian Genomes, Inc (Bethesda, MD, USA). macropus individual collected from the northern Rocky Mountains (JMG_88 46.333333N, −114.633333E ). Īdditional tissue was obtained from a single M. Despite being listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as being of ‘ Least Concern’, the species is listed as ‘critically imperiled’ in the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database owing to its specific habitat requirements, which can be substantially degraded by livestock grazing. richardsoni does not appear to experience regular population boom and bust cycles, although population size in the species may correlate with levels of precipitation. Water voles are among the largest species of Microtus, and their frequent movement makes runways of trampled vegetation along streams. Like other semiaquatic mammals (e.g., otters), adaptations to this lifestyle have probably been driven by natural selection. richardsoni is adapted to a semiaquatic lifestyle, relying on alpine and subalpine streams for creating burrows and escaping predators. ![]() macropus in the central Rocky Mountains and Wyoming, and M. richardsoni in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, M. arvicoloides in the Cascades Mountains, M. Four subspecies are currently recognized: M. richardsoni) occupies a large, disjunct distribution in the Pacific Northwest of North America, with habitat in the Cascades Mountains and the Rocky Mountains, spanning from southern Canada into central Utah. Assembly quality statistics for our nuclear assemblies fall within the range of genomes previously published in the genus Microtus, making the water vole and montane vole genomes useful additions to currently available genomic resources. Structural and functional annotation for the best water vole nuclear genome resulted in ∼24,500 annotated genes, with 83% of these having functional annotations. Mitochondrial genome assemblies were also performed for both species. The montane vole was also assembled into ∼13,000 scaffolds using Illumina sequencing. The water vole genomes were sequenced with Illumina and 10× Chromium plus Illumina sequencing, resulting in assemblies with ∼1600,000 and ∼30,000 scaffolds, respectively. We sequenced and assembled nuclear genomes from two subspecies of water vole ( Microtus richardsoni) and from the montane vole ( Microtus montanus). Such resources would benefit future studies of immunology, phylogeography, cryptic diversity, and more. Voles of the genus Microtus are important research organisms, yet genomic resources are lacking. ![]()
![]() ![]() If you haven’t gotten an adder or ringworm by the end of Map#1, then you might want to pass on future ringworms if there is a good alternative card available (the adder is fine, it can always be sacked for its poison sigil). Items 2,3, and 5 affect the egg sigil, explained later. These are probably also going to be your goals for the the initial card acquisition locations, although going for a good low-cost striker card (wolf cub, mantis) will influence you more than the other criteria. Get cards from different tribes that you don’t have.Get cards with good sigils (cockroach, magpie, field mice, warren).Get cards that cover some of the harder to find stat numbers (4 attack, 5 health).Get a card that can do 2 or more damage (Wolf cub counts, and it is an excellent pick).These first two cards will influence how the first part of Map#1 plays out. I haven’t figured out if his choice of eight is biased in any way to give you a more playable selection of cards (see the FairDraw discussions about the “Invisible Hand” on the deck - the whole game is a bit of a mindf***, so don’t assume anything is completely random). The first location on the map is the trader, where you get a limited ability to customize your deck with a choice of two common cards from whatever selection of eight the trader deals. Kaycee’s Mod introduce a wrinkle where you start with three name cards and two rabbit pelts. This is the challenge and why I like this deck the best. ![]() The obvious downside to choosing the egg deck is that three of your cards are going to be useless for offense, and scoring damage could help you win* (citation needed). |
