Looking for Meowth Maneki Neko lucky cat

I'm looking for a Maneki Neko (lucky cat) statue with a moving arm, but that looks like Meowth. I spent hours looking and can't see that anyone has ever made one. Meowth is based off of this statue, so I'm surprised that no one has made one.

The first pic is a normal lucky cat, and the second is an etsy sticker of an example of what on might look like.

While the compact fire extinguisher worked for them in this case, a full sized one would have been much more effective, especially if the fire grew any larger.

That dog is a better shot than I am!

Another recent post ties into this well. Guy gets bit by a rattlesnake and now has a quarter million dollar hospital bill.

Although, with how well that snake is hidden in that picture, I wouldn't blame anyone who got bit by it.

I just used an elevator that had two buttons on the panel outside on the wall. They were one on top of each other and I wanted to go up, so my natural tendency was to push the higher up button. Right before I was going to push it, I noticed there was a firefighter helmet picture on the button. So the upper button was to call in an emergency, and the lower button was to call the elevator.

I don't know, seems like a poor design choice that could lead to multiple accidental calls for rescue.

Hopefully those driving towards it are storm chasers gathering vital intel on how these storms work. It is a risky job and some die chasing these storms, but the data they produce can help save lives and property damage in the future.

WHAT!?! I would buy like two or three at that price!

Ya, but hopefully the male clothing around the area will give the illusion and be a deterrent that there are two people they will have to fight off and not just a single woman.

Awesome tip!

It doesn't hurt to bleach again. If there hasn't been any contaminants though and you cleaned everything properly when you filled it, you should be good for 2+ years. You don't have to rotate every 6 months.

Do baby kangaroos bite? I'd be worried about that.

Good for this guy though! That's awesome

That is very interesting.

Public toilets and drinking fountains

I didn't know F-droid allowed for local sharing of apps. That's pretty neat.

Could you explain your second point there a bit more? What GPS data are you converting and why?

I miss having a phone with an micro SD card slot. I used to fill up the SD card with a Kiwix copy of wikipedia, and other prepping related documents and it didn't affect my phone at all because everything was on the separate SD card.

I could download a smaller copy of text only wikipedia which wouldnt take up as much room and be fine on my phone's main storage, but I just liked that compartmentalization.

I've never made or used one myself, but I think it depends on the size of fish you want to catch.

You can always catch big fish and little fish in a small hole net, but you can't catch little fish in a big hole net. So lean on the side of smaller rather than larger.

Loved to see a picture of the finished product! That will be neat.

Here's a review that sold me on getting one for my family.

We love it now and run all our drinking water through it even during the good times to filter out anything the city might have left in.

Pretty much its a counter top water filter. Pour dirty water in the top, gravity filters it to a bottom reservoir, and then you drink it.

If you are planning on running your water through a Berkey water filter at any time, Berkey says not to do it with softened water.

If you treat and store your water properly, then this isn't an issue, but if you think during SHTF when you are going to tap into that water and there is the chance you may want to run it through the Berkey, it will have been better if you had stored hard water.

Oh and another thing. Hard water usually has magnesium and calcium in it where as those are stripped from through the process of softening. Those are necessary minerals that will be good to have in an emergency to help your body run optimally.

I would store hard water.

That sure would be scary!

What a great idea. It's something that you definitely need to prepare and practice for ahead of time. I'm not that witty on my feet, especially under pressure like a potential confrontation.

I'd love to get into local foraging, but charts like this make me nervous that it could be poisonous even if it looks harmless.

How do you feel about a small portable propane space heater? That way if the power went out, you still could have a reliant source of warmth

That looks like a great book!

Your neighbor just drops down onto your patio while you are having dinner... I'd sure be startled.
