“We don’t have a cat.”

I think most of them have all done severe damage but in different flavors, perhaps with a little overlap between flavors. TikTok creates stupidity/zombiemind/brainwashed. Twitter creates fascists. Facebook creates idiots. Instagram creates egomaniacs and narcissists. Reddit is all over the place because it’s a collection of different sub-platforms.

Used new-fangled silicone based lube in the shower when it first came out years ago, without thinking clearly… Ended up with a broken rib and missing teeth. That shhh is slick on bathtubs…

Again, thank you for the recommendation of CachyOS. I whipped it up last night on my computer, and other than a small blip that the drive doesn’t appear in bootable devices on my BIOS unless I go deep digging and manually click it to boot, it’s been very smooth and reliable. I’ve been using it all night/day and it is really nice. I just have to figure out why the drive doesn’t appear in my boot order menu when it’s clearly a bootable OS.

I have tried several times, with both Ubuntu and Mint, and it never ends well for me. I even use Ubuntu as a web server for years, and have similar problems there, just in a different use case. I don’t even get to a point where I’m unable to run apps that can run on Windows. It always seems to work fine during the first few hours and while doing the setup and config stage, I eventually run into a never-ending troubleshooting wormhole that leads nowhere but aggravation. I’ll spend hours upon hours scouring the internet for solutions and it always ends the same way “I have this same problem, and this fixed it.” and whatever “this” was never fixes it for me, whatever it is. I feel like Linux is just so always evolving that there’s no standards and a command that works for one user on a previous version/distro is just completely useless for me because of some obscure technical glitch or difference whatever my installation has. Dealing with repositories, updates and endless dependencies is always just impossible and it’s completely alien to someone who’s used Windows for 40 years.

My current iteration is I’m running a dual boot machine with Mint and Windows with the intention of phasing out Windows, but I’m unable to trust Linux Mint to be there when I need it. After a day or so of installing apps and configuration, it became unstable. I attempted to update the video drivers to the “recommended” version and it seems to have borked the whole Linux installation and nothing on the internet seems helpful, and the communities aren’t very friendly to n00bs.

So I always end up back on Windows, even though my hateful soul wants to ditch it badly. As much as I hate Windows and MS, Windows rarely has severe stability issues.

Actually, your question made me debunk my theory. It can’t be the disturbance of the poo. He’s never buried it in the first place. LOL We have a camera enabled in there to keep track of their habits and found he’s not a very bright cat… after he makes his dump he will spend 10 minutes scratching the ceiling of the litter box, the sides of the shower, the floor outside the litterbox but he never scratches the litter or successfully buries anything. So it can’t be that he buried it before lol.

closes wikipedia thank you for the nightmare. Sigh.

I bet I could clog the toilet if I dump the whole bag from the robot in there… 🤔

Thanks for the tips! I had been considering changing the litter too. We currently use Worlds Best because it is flushable and having them been in the bathroom this whole time before that was very helpful with the toilet right there but now we don’t need that. I’ll look into it. 🙂

I wondered how long it would be before you showed up…

I have it set to 15 minutes currently. Now that I think l about the that and that we normally have to evacuate right after the cat does… It can’t really be the robots fault. It hadn’t done any excavation yet. Hmm. That being said, I might experiment with a daily cycle instead of per use…

This is incredible lol

Thank you all for your input an recommendations. I really appreciate it!

I just flew today. They asked for both scan of my ID and pic

I started a charitable school club. Back in the day it was the hot thing to sell candy bars in school for fundraising, and there is a company that existed specifically for school organizations to join a program and do so. No staff wanted to be the faculty sponsor of my club, so we didn’t have any space to call ours… Well some fat asshat (hindsight is …) who was the head of community education office where I helped out on lunch (a whole different story) said “hey! You can store your chocolate stock in our closet.” Well, eventually, about $100 or more of chocolate bars went missing. He actually told me they “went bad” and threw them away. (He ate them.) When someone realized there was a problem with the books, they called my parents in, it was implied I either ate the candy or stole the money. I tried explaining what I thought happened, but nobody listened and my Dad didn’t do much. My club was dissolved, and I was blocked from any extra curricular activities from then on, including trying to get into an advanced class that would have changed my life. Word spread amongst the faculty ( I’m pretty sure there was a meeting) and my favorite teachers forgot I existed.

And then… And I’m only just now realizing this fucked up detail… One of those favorite teachers who turned her back on me, was my theater teacher… because it was an actual class I was able to continue theater class but I was cast as Agustas Gloop in theater class play of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory…
