@ircon96@jjnova I never said dogs are gross just way more work. And if your dog tries the red rocket on anyone. Yes. Way more gross. Just… so… Fix your damn dog or at least deal with it.
Cats mark. Probably needs to be another round of fixing. Had one with a UTI once before the herd that got every laundry basket. Things happen
@ircon96@jjnova if I’m going to be honest it’s way easier to find/wipe piss off the counter and follow with some Lysol than some random corner of the wood floor where it can do damage and you won’t see it. So. As far as life ruining behavior goes… Eh? But going to the vet
Certainly not happy about it but if you have any cats they will be on everything. Period. Dogs be lateral. Cats be vertical .
I’m going to have to wipe it down before using it and maybe need a blocker while prepping/baking
@jjnova@unksol I’ve never had a dog hump anyone, because I’ve always had only females… Girls rule! (Chloe told me to say that. ) Spaying might be a little more expensive, but SO worth it. And, if you adopt like I’ve always done, it’s included anyway. Problem solved. Don’t get me wrong, though, i love cats, too, and Chloe REALLY loves them. She wants me to get her one, if only she weren’t so spoiled & high maintenance herself!
@ircon96@jjnova my once upon a time “girlfriends” something realative insisted on keeping this huge dog on their tiny little concrete back patio in utah. Might as well have been a cell. Intact. And he was not shy. The they would let him in the house… What the fuck are you people… Even… What…? Who let you have a dog like this. And why?
Regardless… The cats are good. I would not be surprised if they all added up to less than that dog… There are no nuts left to go around. If Dylan managed to spread any oats. I’ll. Just give up on something. Life maybe.
@ircon96@jjnova@unksol
I had a cat once who did a lot of territorial peeing - lucky for him he was the world’s sweetest cat in other respects. I found that hydrogen peroxide works miracles to kill the odor. Just spray on and let it sit for a while. And Oxiclean for things that can be laundered.
@ircon96@jjnova@Kyeh I haven’t noticed much smell. However with my payload… Who knows if I could. Janet I didn’t think had that kind of problem and just pissed on my desk the other day. Although marking they spray usually?
There are a lot of girls. I might have to explain to the vet appointment lady at this point. They already had one round of me taking all the appointments for the day for the boys.
@ircon96@jjnova@unksol I’ve never had a female cat, and never more than 2. So I don’t know about Janet … it could still be territorial, I don’t know?
The smell might be there and you’ve gone “nose-blind” to it. Only way to find out is invite a friend or relative who’ll be totally honest with you about it.
@ircon96@jjnova@Kyeh lol my sister was over a couple weeks ago and I did straight up ask. She didn’t really smell anything. Admittedly it was a weird question but if the house smelled of crazy cat man at the front door she’d have said something…
I’ve been out all day several times for a few weeks lately. I think that’s enough time to readjust. Seems fine to me. I can smell it on anything I suspect, just goes into the washing machine/trash.
That “whole house smells of cat” thing feelsike a myth.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Regardless there will be cats on the counter. I can’t stop them. Short of an automated sprinkler. So. Wipe the counter down before starting a baking project and be prepared to defend it. Bring your squirt gun
@ircon96@jjnova@unksol
That’s good! But I was in someone’s trailer once and OMG!!! She had one cat that peed in her tiny hallway all the time and wow, it was almost unbearable to be in there. Obviously you’re cleaning enough; I don’t know if she did at all!
@ircon96@jjnova@Kyeh I would bet if it was on a porous surface and never cleaned it would just soak in and… Yeah. Not good. There was some carpet scrap one had picked once and that went outside
also sorry @jjnova. I’m sure you were not signing up for a detailed study on cat urination. Was supposed to be a real-life joke. Ish? Then went sideways. My bad
I used to do house calls, and I can assure that the “whole house smells like cat” thing is not a myth. If you have a service guy come over and it seems like he is taking a lot of walks to the work truck/van, he might be just trying to get a whiff of fresh air. The ammonia smell from cats is horrid.
@ircon96@jjnova@Kyeh I guess I should rephrase. The smell just because you have cats. I know there are hoarders who just let it… Steep like a strong ammonia tea. That will smack you in the face. That has never been the issue.
As soon as I realized what they were doing I never put down anything cloth on the floor. They will piss on it. So i guess that’s good husband training material?
Eliminated anything else tempting.
Deployed new litter boxes. Turns out several just…like to piss on a clean flat surface so some have no litter. That saves me money I just rince the pan .
I think I have identified all their weird spots. And they are all on hard surfaces. There is still the fact there are a lot of cats. Someone had very fresh shit yesterday when I came home. That you could smell when I went in there to scoop.
But only three have exibitated this behavior and the last time I saw it was a UTI. So. May go away just hard to identify who is doing stuff
I like the Cuisinart toasters, but these take up too much counter space and on average I’d be using 1 slot of the 4. Maybe the 2 slot version could tempt me.
@ircon96 eh. If you need another place to waste time tech connections is not bad. Very much an explanation channel and probably things that have been covered elsewhere but there’s some good stuff in there.
The gas lamps were pretty good. Should be a few of those
Got this a few months ago. Generally good, but a few quirks, which is probably why it’s on Meh.
Often the lever doesn’t lock down on the first try. and you have to do it again.
There’s no indication of the settings until you push a lever down, then the LEDs light up. And it remembers the previous setting. So if you’re not paying attention you might do your toast on the bagel setting, etc.
Upsides: The bagel setting does one-sided toasting, which really matters to some people, apparently. And there are bagel directional markers printed on the top.
The single slot indicator is stamped into the metal.
You can do two different toast settings at the same time.

A good toaster is something that just works every time and then you forget how good it is, so you replace it with this when the time comes.
Then you remember, ‘oh yeah, toasters can suck’
@jjnova one of the cats was on the counter, looked at me, hopped up on the toaster, and proceeded to piss into it. So. It can be worse
@jjnova @unksol Umm, DOGS are gross??
Sincerely,
Chloe
@unksol Another reason not to have cats! Dogs have a hard time getting on the counter.

Also my grandparents had one of these and we thought it was super cool in the 90s
/youtube tech connections better toaster
@unksol Thanks for sending me down THAT rabbit hole!
That guy is always so entertaining/ hilarious, though, so at least it was an enjoyable trip.
@ircon96 eh. If you need another place to waste time tech connections is not bad. Very much an explanation channel and probably things that have been covered elsewhere but there’s some good stuff in there.

@unksol Oh, jeez, just what i need, another place to waste time!
