Is this travel crate too small to be used as a normal crate.

I have 2 dogs, 1 (Laika) who is crate trained and the other (Nova) who isn't, ive decided i want to crate train Nova as well but I wasn't sure if I should crate train her to the big crate that Laika uses. I only really use the crates when I take one if the dogs on a walk or away just because they get bored or anxious without the other around, so they are only ever in the crates separately and for usually 30min or less. The big crate is always open when i haven't put Laika in there and is used more by laika daily, but we leave the little travel crate out and Nova loves it and sits in it all the time, she cant completely stand up in there but she can turn around and sleep in there comfortably if I were to shut it. Im not sure if I should crate train her to the big crate that Laika uses, train her to her small travel crate which she loves but may be too small, or get a new crate so they an each have one. Tia.

(Also please ignore Novas scruffy face she needs a groom)

Why cant you play past pips.

For majority of the other games (wordle, connections, strands, etc) you can play past ones and look back at ones you've solved but not for pips. I always do pips at the end of the day but sometimes when I'm busy I wont get to them until just a few minutes before 12am and I dont always get to finish even if I'm one peice away from solving it, and I would love to look back to see old ones that ive finished but I cant; why😭.

Do i need to re crate train?

So i have 2 dogs a minature schnauzer (Laika) and a small poodle mix (nova), Laika has anxiety issues especially when Nova leaves and I had crate trained her so I could take them on separate walks. Laikas crate training was fine she was never in the crate for more than 30 minutes because she never needed to be, she would be quiet the whole time, i would give her a lickmat which she would just lick and then sleep until we got back. A few days ago I got back from my walk with Nova and when I came inside my housemate (whom I dislike for many reasons) was sitting by the crate talking to her, she had taken the blanket off the crate and was trying to excite her pointing at Nova and making a big deal of her coming home which is the exact opposite of what I am trying to do with the crate training, im not sure how ling she gad been sitting there or what else she had done. the next day I decided to take them each for a walk again (I always take laika first so she will be tired and will sleep while we are gone) when it was Novas turn i put Laika in the crate with a lickmat like normal but as soon as I closed the door she started screaming and wailing (she has never done this in the crate before, even while training) I was hoping she would calm down once we left so I set a camera to check on her. I left for my walk with Nova but Laika screeched the entire time even once we came home, my mum said we had no way to know it was our housemates fault but nothing else had happened that would contribute to this and she has been completely fine so many times before. I tried again today but she wouldn't even go into the crate, eventually she did go in but again started screeching and wailing as soon as I locked her in. Am I going to have to re crate train from scratch? Any tips on how to get her to calm down in the crate?

Where to start

So I was just wondering how to start/what to get as someone who has never gotten their nails done.

I dont really like having long nails because it just makes it hard for me to do things, I have tried press ons once or twice but i didn't keep them on long; I rarley paint my nails and prefer to keep them pretty short.

In saying that i would like to get my nails done as i have a school ball coming up and i want cute nails, i couldn't find any press ons that i like so i was thinking about getting them done professionally but as i said before i have no idea what im doing. Im wanting something not too long, possibly with some cute details that have some texture/depth iykwim and that i would be able to take off after a week or so if thats possible (im not allowed them at work), also preferably not too expensive but i know that would probably vary from where you get them done. any advice about what type to get would be appreciated (my friend recommended gel x but i have no idea what that is) and also what they tend to cost. Tia.

People who dont know that "Hyper" and "Hypo" are different

I always hear people say things like "oh i cant drink coffee it makes me hypo" or "its so cold im gonna get hyperthermia" or just thinking hypo is the shortened version of hyper.

Hypo= slow/low

Hyper=fast/high

Its not that hard.

Edit: for everyone saying maybe people are saying hyper and because of the accent they drop the r so it sounds like hypo, that is not whats happening. Most of these interactions have been through text or writing, and even if they are speaking outloud i can tell the difference.

Can I get a permanent straightening?

I have curlyish hair which I absolutely hate and I straighten it and brush it out constantly, ive been wanting a permanent straightening for a long time but im worried about it damaging my hair to the point of breaking off. I have box dyed red hair which ive been dying since mid 2024 and re-dye every few months, before that I had gotten highlights a few times. I had pretty straight hair until I was like 11 when it became pretty curly but since ive straightened it and dyed it alot I feel like it's not as curly, I have pretty straight roots until my ears and then it's kinda curly and kind wavy. I love how my hair looks straightened and I have heard alot of people say not to get a permanent straightening but i feel like it would make my life so much easier, ive been trying to grow out my hair but the longer it gets the more work it is and when I straighten it it's so easy. The photo is my hair washed without styling just brushed through hair oil. Mostly wondering if the dying and straightening would make my hair too fragile for a permanent straightening, also what kinds are there and is there one that would work better for me, hopefully this is enough info.

Help with being diagnosed

Wasn't really sure how to title this but i was mostly wondering how the diagnosis process is and if it involves alot of blood tests or ivs, i have a massive needle phobia and its been the main thing putting me off getting an actual diagnosis, i know that there isnt usually much they can do for POTS anyway but i really want to have enough energy to walk my dogs and also to have an actual reason for feeling like i do all the time. I was at the doctor a few months ago and she said I should get a blood test (i never brought up anything about POTS but she seemed kinda concerned about my heartrate) but i never ended up getting it, i had a bloodtest in mid 2023 and another in late 2024 and both were normal exept slightly low iron but not enough to be a problem, other then that everything was normal so do i really need another bloodtest? I guess im mostly wondering how many needles were involved in the diagnosis process and if you guys think i should suck it up and actually try to get a diagnosis.

Also im a 16yo female if that is relevant.
