33-44-- Get a brush and brush your kitty! It's recommended that short haired cats should be brushed once a week.
55-- It's recommended to let your kitty eat as much as it wills, until it reaches adulthood. They need to grow big and strong!
66-- Buy a scratching post and other scratching toys to encourage them to scratch the right surfaces. Catnip also helps.
77-- Slowly blinking at cats says "I'm comfortable around you" and is a show of contentment and non hostility.
88-- Do things at roughly the same time every day, and stick to a schedule. they operate their entire lives off their schedule, and will be more reasonable if you are consistent with doing their stuff.
99-- Toys, buy a variety at first to see what your cat likes.
1010-- Wet food, not dry food since dry food will make their bodies work too hard and put your cat into a constant state of dehydration.
1111-- Have one of the playing sessions right before the last meal of the day. A good hunt ends with a hefty meal. After a quick grooming session, she'll [[sleep]] like an angel, allowing you to do the same.

164- Training is creating a common language between you and your dog.
···7058- If you find your dog isn't listening perfectly to an old cue, one strategy for dealing with that is to change the cue and work on reinforcing the new cue more carefully. To transfer a cue, give your _new_ cue then immediately follow it with the old cue and reward when the dog performs the behavior.
7159- You can speed up a trick training it with toys. Also, you can add tricks in between "drop it" and "get it" to reinforce them.
7260- Once the behavior is established, start to reinforce intermittently.
7373-- For clicker training the main loop is: click, pause, feed. Always feed after clicking! You can charge the clicker while playing [[Animals#Training Games | training games]].

It also helps remind folks that members of the data team can be strategic partners, creating opportunities for proactive brainstorming that can drive innovation.
8686-8787- The aim is to answer the following questions each time:
8888- 1. **What am I looking at?** A **short-but-informative title** can tell people immediately what data is the focus of the insight.
8989- 2. **What should I learn from this?** or, Why should I care? Include the **most useful information,** and/or a **clear takeaway**. For folks who only have a few seconds to scan the message, it should be **easy to spot** the **most valuable** bit of the insight, the **reason** this exploration was considered worth sharing.
9090- 3. **What caught my eye?** Share a chart or a related resource!
9191- 4. **What if I want to know more?** A **link to additional information** can be valuable for people who have time for more than a quick scan and want to understand how you developed the insight, or do some of their own related exploration.
9292- 5. **What if I have a question?** Explicitly **inviting questions** and responses is crucial. It’s the best part of sharing an insight! This is where you get to learn about things your colleagues know that you don’t, or what they’re curious about but has not yet risen to the level of becoming a data request from them.
9393- 6. **What if posting this prompts a whole bunch of follow-up questions, or exposes incorrect assumptions?** If you have hit on something that’s interesting to a lot of people there likely will be questions that spin off, new ways to slice the data you’re looking at, or assumptions you have made that need to be corrected.

Politics.md
···1111- Political ideologies are mostly wrong. For most issues it's makes a lot more sense to study the issue in detail than try to have an opinion based on pre-packaged ideology. It's better to discuss issues without invoking teams.
1212 - Issues aren't binary. Political parties make it seem so to make it work with their political interests. When you spot a binary question, think if its really a binary one or it is much more nuanced.
1313- Some issues are not as important but are discussed much more times. The fact that some changes happens very gradually makes it hard for our brains that didn't evolve with subtle dangers in mind to realize the scope of the problem (e.g Climate Change vs terrorist attacks). [Sometimes, even if the issue is very simple to solve, its hard to discern its importance when every other issue is being raised as more important than the others](https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/11/30/book-review-inadequate-equilibria/).
1414-- Not all actions are equal. Some actions just validate your identify (arguing with someone online) and others don't seem right but make large differences (negotiating farm [[animals]] welfare).

1515- We usually vote to whoever gives us simple (and probably wrong) solutions.
1616- Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others — Winston Churchill [_probably quoting someone else_](https://richardlangworth.com/worst-form-of-government). To reach more people, arguments and topics need to be simplified to the maximum, loosing trade-offs and nuance.
1717- Groups that form around a goal can work better or worse, depending on how well the goal can be verified by the group. If you're forming a group based on [what percentage of your income are you willing to devote to altruism](https://www.effectivealtruism.org/), that's a really easy thing to monitor.
