In other news, I bought another motion-detecting toilet bowl light. Why, you may ask? Well, not for use on a toilet, but rather, as a bat signal for when the cat wants in. My office has a window low to the ground (split level house) that is left open for the cat to come and go as he wishes. He knows to push the blinds out of the way and use that part of my desk to get to the window. When it's hot and humid out and the AC is on, it's closed, but he goes up and scratches the glass when he wants out, and then just sits on the ledge and waits for me to notice him through the blinds when he wants in. Works perfectly fine during the day when you can see him on the outside, but at night, no such luck. That meant that the window was usually left open at night so he could come in. So I bought the second toilet light and mounted it on the outside of the window, so when the cat jumps up onto the sill the bright LED light shines through the blinds, and it's very noticeable. It just worked for the first time, and it made me laugh. I'm kind of impressed with how a $9 toilet bowl light from Amazon solved the problem.
They sent el preggers and I home after like 5 hours in the hospital monitoring her. So now it's a waiting game, critter is likely gonna come out to see his shadow in the next 24-48 hrs. Im think I hate this waiting game more than being at the hospital. Also nett, totally gotta figure out a better solution for your cat. I know you can build something fancy (feast). Toilet light doesn't cut it.
I wanna know what the redneck solution is for teeth cleaning and possible extraction for a cat. I have a feeling it involves a hose and pliers...and it definitely won't be $600-2,000.
The problem is that the windows I have in my office are sliding left to right, and most pet doors are for up/down windows. The pet doors that I've seen that will actually work are about $400 for the size I need. The $9 solution is just fine for now.
And on that note, if anyone here has an office and gets lots of unwanted visitors, I highly recommend getting some sort of small water fountain thingy. I used to have an office that was always too dry and didn't have any opening windows, so I got one to help keep the place a bit more humid and add some white noise. Funnily enough, anyone who came in to visit had to go take a piss pretty quickly after they arrived. I thought it was hilarious.
Just in passing. To me it's all a big boiler room pump and dump... worse than penny stocks. It's an interesting thing to watch from a technical perspective, that's for sure. The vast majority of cryptocurrency offerings are basically scams to get people to "invest" and then they fold, but bitcoin was definitely one of the first and most well established. To me, I see way more usefulness in Etherium and it's built-in contracts. A ton of banks are looking for developers to investigate internal, private Etherium systems that could be used for things like stock trading, internal commercial transactions, etc. The really interesting thing to me is how the US government is now actively going after some of these big Bitcoin exchanges due to their failure to comply with banking regulatory reporting, etc, and are claiming jurisdiction if even a single US customer has used the exchange.
BTC has always been more about rampant speculation rather than a meaningful, structured currency. And I'm not surprised at the US government's reaction considering its illegal to issue a currency that competes with the USD.
