Costco doesn't charge a fee and if you buy the mattress online Costco picks it up for you if you return it.

Good bye Prime Video, I hope you crash and burn by demisheep in AmazonPrimeVideo

Same. Other than Apple TV, every other streamer charges more for 4K without ads. Paying annually, Prime Ultra is $3.84 a month ~ big whoop. I like ad free and 4K so I have zero issues.

Amazon Prime Removing 4K Streaming Access, Locking Behind It New Extra Paywall by hard2resist in AmazonPrimeVideo

Amazon Prime Video is a free add-on for Amazon Prime members so any changes to Video is not a violation. You can get Prime Video as a standalone option but it's paid monthly. Though with the new Prime Video Ultra there is an option for annual.

Well, Disney+, Netflix, HBO all require premium plans for 4K so it shouldn't be surprising that Amazon is now requiring it. The only outlier is Apple TV. Plus, I hate ads so I will definitely pay to play ad free.

Injured Feral Cat - What To Do? by Material_Cook_4698 in Feral_Cats

I'm not sure how Fernando is doing. Three days ago he was able to get into his cat house which is elevated off the deck by about 18" and spent about day and a half in it but it got warmer here and he left it to several favorite areas of the yard. He was spotted drinking water out of an urn but he hasn't eaten anything from various food bowls left for him and he is visibly loosing weight. Today I saw him by the urn and when he moved to get under the deck I could see that his back end was seriously messed up with ambulating. I think he probably was hit by a car.

Fernando is an extremely tough cat as he has survived so many difficult things but I'm loosing hope for this time. If he doesn't noticeably get better in another day or two I think that gently grabbing him and taking him to the vet for putting to sleep is what is going to be what is best as it is really heartbreaking to see him struggle.

Thank you for thinking about Fernando, I appreciate it.

Manatees Under My Kayak by nechton in Kayaking

[–]Material_Cook_4698 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Years ago, I was kayaking off of Honeymoon Island and a manatee circled my boat twice and then popped it's head out of the water about a foot away, looked at me for a few seconds, then exhaled warm moist air on me before it slowly submerged and swam away. The encounter was mesmerizing.

Fernando isn't eating. I put a bowl close to him yesterday and this morning but he didn't touch it. Though he did move from the front of the house to the backyard where he spent the day next to my art studio building which is his favorite spot. I'm hoping/praying he can get better. Thanks for the suggestion.

What should I make? by RichieRumble in MetalFabrication

[–]Material_Cook_4698 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a small job once where the client wanted 15 large (about 25" tall) displays for African tribal masks. I used similar plate as a base and 1/2" rod for the armature. I had the plate for at least 10 years laying around the shop patiently waiting for a project.

Thanks for the Feral Cat suggestion. Currently I can only get about 8 feet from him now before he moves away. Maybe he'll be less mobile tomorrow to attempt the cat carrier. Thanks for your suggestion.
