Roughly about 10g of caffeine for a 70kg human is where it’s starts to generally be recognised as lethal

I’m actually not too sure how right you are here, my last cat was a chunky boy at 7kg, let’s say that the upper end 68mg is the LD50, I’m roughly 70kg, 680mg of coffee would be very uncomfortable and unpleasant, but I don’t think I’d be hitting the LD50.
LD50 in humans is probably around 100mg/kg, fatal doses are 150-200mg/kg
The photo in the OP looks either AI generated or badly AI upscaled, zoom in on the cats in the back…
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto cats@lemmy.world•13 lbs 6kg cat was prescribed 200mg gaba the night before and two hours before vet visit. Is this too much?15·2 months agoOP, just to be clear GABA and Gabapentin are two different drugs/molecules…
Its worth clarifying to avoid confusion here, which has been been prescribed

But would that then imply that all commissioned works aren’t art?
Or does the difference of who (or more specifically what) you commission to produce something decide whether it’s art?
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•*Oof!!* I can't believe we don't have a "Nature is Metal" sub across the Lemmysphere just yet, so... let's do it, maties?25·5 months agoPeople always focus on the “Lady jerks off dolphin”, part of the story, not the ‘Noted Psychoanalyist and developer of the first sensory deprivation chamber has employee jerk off dolphin as part of a research programme that was funded to see if human-dolphin communication was possible, whilst high on LSD’
John C Lilly really fuckin liked dolphins😅
Silly suggestion, and no idea if it will work, but it’s an easy one to test;
Get some cooking/vegetable oil, and see if it will help dissolve the residue by putting a bit on some kitchen towel and either scrubbing with the oiled paper towel or leaving that towel on the residue for 10 mins and seeing if the grease has softened.
If the oil does seem to dissolve/soften the grease residue then you can add some bicarb/salt to act as gentle abrasive as it won’t dissolve in the oil as it would do in water
I’ve used cooking oil to dissolve tar/bitumen paint from my skin and clothes before and you can then use soap to clear the dissolved tar in oil.
Otherwise use a kitchen degreaser like you’d clean a traditional oven with.
I imagine what’s happening with the oil is something akin to polymerization, so you either need to break the polymers bonds or dissolve in a suitable solvent
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How are the prices of eggs impacting your life?3·5 months agoOutta curiosity what is a Keto cough drop?
I mean I don’t think there are any high protein cough drops, but I’m pretty sure you can get sugar free cough drops… You can atleast definitely get sugar free boiled sweets, a couple of type 1 diabetics I know have them, and you get them at the checkouts here as shops aren’t allowed to put sugary snacks at the checkouts.
And in regards to getting proteins that are atleast in stock, lentils and peas/beans are pretty good sources of proteins, I’ve seen people make some good looking keto friendly naan breads/flat breads using pea protein (IIRC), have you tried anything like that?
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some lesser known music genres that you'd recommend?4·5 months agoOccult Rock; it’s the transition somewhere between psychedelic rock and heavy metal.
Relatively unknown nowadays but it you like psych or heavy metal you’ll probably enjoy it.
Lots of powerful, bluesy, female vocals.

Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your most non-mundane possession?2·6 months agoHuh, I’ve got a collection of not necessarily dangerous, but hard to find chemicals. DCM (methylene chloride) is still something I’ve been unable to find. It’s an incredibly useful solvent especially for adhering bitumen felt to itself.
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Extensive skin contact with PLA and PETG seems okayEnglish3·6 months agoNever been too concerned with fumes at typical temperatures (higher temperatures required for PETG and the effect of those temps on PTFE bowdern tubes are a different box of frogs), but stringing getting pulled into the extruder fans scares the crap out of me as it basically becomes an ultra fine dust that builds up in the air and eventually settles waiting to be disturbed.
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your strategy for waking up early without feeling like garbage?3·6 months agoWait, why vitamin D before bed?
I thought your body produces it in response to daylight, so I always thought that should be taken in the day?
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some Communities you recommend checking out and why?5·6 months agoSo that community is great, subscribed.
On a similar “I went for a walk, check out this cool blank I found” vibe, does anyone know of an equivalent one for rocks?
I know rockhounds used to be a thing on Reddit but I haven’t come across a Lemmy equivalent yet?
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What cheap setup or technique works for truly flat photos for use in CAD?12·6 months agoDo you have a flatbed scanner? Like a photocopier printer?
Literally put the item on the glass of the flatbed and hit scan, stick an etched mm ruler beside it facing the scanner if you want scale.
It’s generally the most effective way by far to perform this.
I’ve used it to copy the perfect profile of an extruded aluminium ebike battery housing, to print a replacement cap after the first got cracked.
Basically when you try to use your phone to perform a task like this, you’ll need to account for the inherent lens distortion of your camera, which is a pain in the ass
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto cats@lemmy.world•Cat toys suggestions | Are there any cat toys made for "co-op?7·7 months agoThe toys that either have balls that get launched into the air, or ones that are small balls trapped in a loop for them to bat back and forth may be the kind of thing you’re looking for, especially if you can ones that allow for small treats or catnip to be placed inside the balls
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Playing with some ugly old TPUEnglish9·7 months agoSilly suggestion for testing how loud it is externally; put the headphones on your leg/thigh and test them, it should be a reasonable approximation of your head.
Also forgive my ignorance, but why are you printing this as straight pieces that require gluing as opposed to printing it as a solid circle?
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it true America has a long history of idolizing outlaws? Can you name some?48·7 months agoBonnie and Clyde, Killdozer man, Al Capone, Christopher Dorner, Billy the Kid to name a few.
There are a few different common themes amongst them, either functioning as part of a gang or as a lone wolf, Bonnie and Clyde captured attention for the romantic twist attached to it.
There are also greater numbers of outlaws during periods where laws are hard to enforce due to remoteness and isolation (old west) or due to the laws being flaunted by basically everyone due to the laws being considered ridiculous (prohibition).
The key common theme is that they are viewed as fighting against an (what the public view as) unjust system, though often it’s more to do with their goals coincidentally aligning with the publics perception of an unjust system.
Uranium 🟩@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something that people think is scary, but isn't?4·7 months agoI wonder if their great mood is as much about the (successful) landing as much as it is about the glide?
No beard required, all the hair from their nuzzles just kinda builds up… Or find yourself an extra floofy one that doesn’t mind being worn like a scarf
