I have access to the email of a rescue I work for, like dogs and cats. The amount of these we get is ridiculous. We don’t want to be the top of google! We already get 7 million emails asking us to take animals or idiots looking for a free puppy for christmas!

American workers rights really scare me. Tipping being allowed to subsidise wages is awful, but so is the safety legislation, and child labour laws. We have issues in the UK obviously, but they’re relatively minor in comparison.

I was watching a video recently where a guy denied eating someone so they settled it by going in their stomach, finding his lunch, and DNA testing it. It was indeed the dead guy.

Sweets are a specific thing. Sweet is the flavour that you’re thinking of, but if someone is using sweet as a noun, they’re never referring to chocolate.

Chocolate isn’t sweets.

Bleach and ammonia makes chloramine which is a poisonous gas, so that’s 3 times you’d be dead.

If people are being human trafficked they’re not doing well.

This idea that all homeless people are fronts for gangs however is a right wing idea that rarely or never plays out. A gang can make money drug dealing, stealing cars, even petty theft, all are going to pay much higher amounts than sitting in the train station begging for change.

I believe also with homeless people it’s more complicated than one of the extremes. Some just pretend to be homeless. Some really are. And really in need. Some will waste your money for alcohol and some need a warm sleeping bag to get through the night. There is probably more than meets the eye. And it’s always difficult to tell.

Nobody who is doing well is sitting outside in December begging for change. It’s dehumanising. If someone is down on their luck and wants a beer to get through then it’s not a waste.

Personally we have some good homeless charities around here so I tend to report them using an app which brings out volunteers to help them get supplies, a hostel, and benefits which is more money than I can spare, but if I have food or drink (including sometimes alcohol) going I usually donate that too.

It’s important to put yourself in their shoes.

Haha, I’m a woman, if I want to see some then I have easy access

Oh yeah, that wouldn’t hurt at all

I need a photo of what you mean. Someone snuggling into your chest wouldn’t hurt, but as Rhynoplaz says, if you plopped on a table then any weight on it would really hurt.

No, not at all, not sure what EssentialCoffee means. It’s just any clumbing litter with a small grain to go through the sifter. I prefer clay.

Ah, yup, the new one is indeed that much. Second hand are widely available but tbf, it’s worth the cost to me. Around the same price as a new washing machine and I’d probably choose the litter robot first if I had to choose.

If it’s not it, their customer service is really good so get in touch with them.

Have you broken it down to clean? Issues in mine usually mean there’s dust build up under the bowl, particularly the pinch sensor. If I get that sorted every few months then it goes back to fine.

What dollars is that?

Mine was £350 which is under $500 US, just looked at the site and the brand new model is $699.

If you want you can start by not allowing it to auto turn and only turning it manually when you’re nearby and can be sure the cat isn’t near. You can then build up to the auto turn

The one I use only uses clumping litter.

I have a litter robot, it’s brilliant. You can use any clumping litter, there’s a guide to get your cats used to it, no smell at all, no cleaning, and the bags in the base can be anything. I use a cheap clumping litter, the cheapest clay based one seems to work best for me but you can use any clumping that has small grains.

What happens is that I get a message to my phone about once a week telling me to take the old bag out and put the new bag in. I couldn’t live without it now.

I’m with the ornithologists. Herpetology is weird.
