  • As someone currently having to medicate a cat 3 times a day. Dogs are definitely easier.

    When my pupper had to have knee surgery, I could pretty much get her to take the pills raw if I had the right level of enthusiasm.

    My little black and white ball of fury on the other hand? We’ve tried pill pockets, crushing the pills into food, treats etc… nothing worked.

    To cut a long story short, my kitchen now looks like something out of a drug den. There’s a pestle and mortar with this pink antibiotic stain from crushing the pills, the dust of which is poured into boiling water (to dissolve) and allowed to cool; thus allowing me to use a syringe to inject the drugs straight onto his tongue.

    Edit: water syringe, not needle

    I often find that misappropriating an out of context Paul Rudd quote arguably condoning sexual harassment works perfectly to describe the level of effort one should put in;

    “Work 60% of the time, Alllll the time”

    Any more than 60% effort and it becomes a drain, any less and management will look to replace. 60% effort is the sweet spot for surviving corporate life rather than succumbing to it.

    I’m also an it technician with over a decade of experience, and I’ve seen this first hand, on multiple occasions.

    I agree PICNIC is the goto in this scenario; it’s not like shutdown commands are new, so why would it not work as intended? it was my initial assumption when faced with these reports; but having seen this occur multiple times, I can confirm it isn’t. My running theory is it’s KB related, as the issue is intermittent by device (though consistent with an affected device… as in the device will exhibit this behaviour every time). It’s also unique to windows 11.

    GP is a good shout. I see this issue occur intermittently at work; and whilst I haven’t checked our GPOs recently; I’m fairly certain the incident is intermittent amongst machines running the same policies (IE: a finance dept of 50 machines may see 10 exhibit this behaviour).

    I’ve also seen it occur on home PCs. The only constant trait among them that I can determine is the OS (always 11). I just assumed it was introduced by some KB somewhere down the line or something like that.
