That can be true, but I think you can also get the cat used to sample collection by hand as they go into the box. I've had to collect so many samples over the years, and the easiest way is to hold a measuring cup/spoon under the c

I wouldn't say it cuts down on smell, unfortunately. In fact, it has the potential to make it worse, since the waste is gathered in a bin for longer periods of time (as opposed to flushable litter in a normal box). There is a carbon fi

I've had a Litter Robot for nearly a year and also really like it (wrote a more detailed review here[0]), although it's definitely not perfect. Mine is the Litter Robot 3 with the WiFi functionality (lets me keep an eye on how oft

Very good point. My cats get wet only. The male I mentioned in my other comment is underweight since he never regained his full appetite after his urinary issues, so at some point I started allowing him to snack on a bit of dry food at nigh

There are even special litter boxes sold that are intended to go on the toilet seat for this type of training. But as cool as this is, I believe it can be dangerous, especially for owners of male cats. Cats' urinary habits are importan

There's a little notebook by my computer at all times for this reason. It isn't even just writing that helps when I'm trying to figure out a problem or pick a good approach, but doodling. Doodling while thinking seems to help

Wow, you weren't kidding! I looked it up and saw this account: https://www.dawtrina.com/cosmo/index.html "It is not hyperbole to suggest that it changed my life. Even today, writing in 2015, over a decade aft

My hope is that each future mutation will be milder than the last. I am currently self-isolating as my country is hammered with cases, until I can get my booster. After that, I will continue being careful and avoiding crowded places, but wi

I started making my own websites when we moved to the US and got our first computer. I ended up doing some free web design and development as a teenager for local bands and record companies, in exchange for merch. After high school in Austr

I spent a bit of time in the PU community after reading The Game. Many of these places were just toxic: focused on lying to women out of desperation to get sex. Everything from "white lies" about some exciting adventure you had to

I do this, too. I don't think it's a good habit to be honest, because I used to fall asleep just fine without podcasts. When I was able to fall asleep without them, I'd sleep faster. Now it takes me longer to fall asleep, but

Thanks for sharing. I think in my case it's mostly like you and your ex-gf. I just have trouble internalizing the fact that I don't need to think about him while we're working. My boyfriend says he's totally fine sitting

This is interesting since it reminds me of the dynamic I have with my boyfriend as well. We seem to be opposites in this regard. I work better alone. Having someone else there, even if they aren't purposefully distracting me, just adds

I was obsessed with chat bots as a teenager and used to make them on a website called The Personality Forge. It was all hard coded responses with some very minor scripting involved to do things like fill in the speaker's name, or skew

I have a small two-room apartment and have a little office space set up at the foot of my bed, near the window. Usually I work from here, but sometimes if I feel like variety I work from my "kitchen" table in the living room, on t

It seems like the only difference between you and the son of a wealthy banker in Switzerland wanting to blow his Dad's money speculating on NFTs would be that you'd likely be blowing your own money speculating on NFTs, making the

I would just leave it up with the note you added and not worry about it. Interesting post and observation, by the way!

I think I know exactly what you're describing, and I'm still getting the hang of plot development! It's so easy for me to write down an enticing first chapter, and then wonder..."Now what?" For me, what's been

I think this might be over-complicating it a bit for a personal blog. There are comment systems like Commento, Disqus, Hyvor, etc that let you just embed a JS snippet into your layout for comments (if one even wants to support blog comments

I don't think most people would need multi-user permissions on a git repository for a personal blog, right? In my case, I just push to GitLab and have CI run to deploy to S3 via a GitLab-specific IAM user key/secret set as a repo

I've gone through quite a few frameworks since I started blogging and have settled on Hugo, which I've been running for several years. I have the source in a private GitLab repo with a CI setup to autodeploy to an S3 bucket. Hugo

Aren't you trying to maximize returns for yourself when you take issue with companies hiring employees outside of your immediate vicinity? As one of those remote workers, in my opinion you'd be better off campaigning against locat

I've been experiencing this as well, but for me it seems to be largely seasonal (very long dark days in winter around here). I find that forcing myself to get up early and get started with the day results in more energy throughout, but

How is "real software" different from video game software? I ask because it seems like most consumer applications that run on our machines or that we use on the web also just have to be good enough to be tolerated by the human usi
