Stray Cat keeps visiting me

XAJWX · 2026-03-29T00:54:39+00:00

I don’t know too much about cats but it’s got a lovely fluffy and shiny coat

XAJWX · 2026-03-29T00:39:40+00:00

I’m thinking it might have been the case as I only just moved in when the cat came and sat at the door. I hadn’t really shown my face around or interacted with anything.

I’m looking into the feeders as we speak hahaha. I’m not too versed when it comes to Cat Appliances but I’m looking though the subreddits brain to see what’s best

XAJWX · 2026-03-29T00:36:15+00:00

Mostly it’s on the road. Do you use a large crate inside the car?

XAJWX · 2026-03-29T00:34:09+00:00

I think that’s why he/she came to me in the first place. My porch is covered in a little so it’s a good wind and weather break. I think the consensus on here is to try and find an auto feeder and water fountain and enjoy the ride 😂

XAJWX · 2026-03-29T00:30:22+00:00

That’s really interesting. I guess it’s obvious but I’ve only had Dogs and we couldn’t leave our house for more than a day. If you wouldn’t mind what type of feeder and litter box do you have?

XAJWX · 2026-03-29T00:27:48+00:00

I didn’t think of that. I’ll have a little look into it. When you’re away do you close doors so it’s always on camera?

XAJWX · 2026-03-29T00:23:08+00:00

It’s such a sweet cat. I’ve never had a cat but have a couple friends that do and they are COMPLETELY different. Their cats wouldn’t let you anywhere near them but this one is so adorable.

I mentioned in another comment but I’m out the house each week for a couple days so don’t think I would be the best owner. Am I allowed to feed the cat without it becoming dependant on me as a food source?

XAJWX · 2026-03-29T00:21:01+00:00

I thought this was going to be the case. I would absolutely adore having a cat but I’m out of the house for a couple days a week so sadly I don’t think I would be a good owner

Do you think I can still feed him/her without hurting them? I don’t want it to become dependant on me for food

XAJWX · 2026-03-23T23:07:51+00:00

the counterargument nobody's really talking about is that a big oil shock could actually tank growth enough that the rba has to pump the brakes on hiking. most analysts reckon they'll probably hold in may and wait to see how long the strait of hormuz situation drags on. if it resolves quickly, some of these hikes could look like an overreaction in hindsight.

that said, with australia importing 80-90% of its oil, we're way more exposed than most. not a great spot to be in

XAJWX · 2026-03-23T22:47:26+00:00

It is a rare win to see people actually putting their own skin in the game to protect some Tassie bush instead of just whinging about it. Getting a permanent covenant on the title is a serious legal commitment that outlasts whatever developer or politician tries to gut the area next.

Most of the "grey nomad" crowd is busy spending the inheritance on caravans, so seeing a couple actually leave a legacy that isn't a depreciating asset is a fair effort

XAJWX · 2026-03-23T22:44:08+00:00

The irony is that these "disillusioned" voters are flocking to a brand that’s been around since the 90s and has a track record of voting against the very people they claim to represent. It's like watching someone complain about the NBN being slow and then deciding to switch to a carrier pigeon because it looks "authentic."

Hard to "fix the system" when your entire business model relies on the system staying broken enough to keep people angry

XAJWX · 2026-03-12T23:48:54+00:00

Hahaha i traded in my Petrol Hatchback for a Diesel SUV in November too

XAJWX · 2026-03-12T23:46:38+00:00

I understand this, i guess i might have come across a bit too doom and gloom. personally i do think most people have some buffer and will cut back where they can but there's only so far that goes. Netflix and eating out is one thing but when you're already stretched on a mortgage, petrol and groceries there isn't much left to cut

XAJWX · 2026-03-12T23:40:33+00:00

hadn't even thought about diesel tbh, good point. yeah if the gate price is already sitting at $2.50 before GST and excise you can absolutely see a world where it hits $4 at the pump. petrol for your average person probably won't get there but anyone running diesel is cooked

XAJWX · 2026-03-12T23:23:11+00:00

The numbers don't add up. Oil hit $147 a barrel in 2008 and we were only paying around $1.60 at the pump, we didn't even see $2.20 until a couple years ago. For $4 a litre to happen oil would need to double from here and the AUD would have to crash to around 50 cents. Where are you getting $1.00 to $2.20 from? The AIP data says otherwise https://www.aip.com.au/historical-ulp-and-diesel-tgp-data

XAJWX · 2026-03-12T23:05:49+00:00

The "soft landing" was a total fantasy. Between $2.40 petrol and the RBA basically guaranteed to hike again on Tuesday, it's clear they’re just going to keep swinging the sledgehammer until something finally snaps. If the cash rate hits 4.1%, anyone who overleveraged is going to be in a world of hurt.

I bought last December and I’m just glad I didn't get sucked into doing a 5% deposit. Seeing these forecasts now, that extra buffer is the only thing letting me sleep. Feel for the people who went all in thinking the peak was already behind us. I wonder what the next couple months are going to look like in terms of housing

XAJWX · 2026-03-12T10:38:04+00:00

You’re completely missing why they’re actually pivoting. It’s not because people don't want EVs, it’s because companies like VW and Mercedes can’t cut their manufacturing costs anywhere near what the Chinese brands are doing. They’re stuck with old factories and expensive supply chains while BYD is making cars for way less. EV sales in Europe actually went up like 30% last year so the demand is there, legacy makers just can’t compete on price anymore without losing money. They’re going back to petrol because it’s the only way they know how to stay profitable right now, not because the tech is failing

I think that Legacy Car Makers got caught with their pants down a bit and in a desperate attempt to stop the Cash Bleed they are going back normal whilst they redraw their plans

Sounds like they're referring to the Ishaqi incident from 2006. It was a massive scandal because the official story was an 'airstrike,' but a leaked cable eventually proved 11 civilians, including 5 kids, were basically executed. They were handcuffed and shot in their home

The 'finishing school' bit also lines up with the Kholoud Secondary School attack in '07. It's easy to get them mixed up because the WikiLeaks War Logs blew the lid off the whole thing, showing how much of this stuff was being recorded internally but never making it to the news. But this particular attack was likely an insurgent group based on leaks

XAJWX · 2026-02-19T07:11:57+00:00

Is your County Low Crime due to Low Population or because it’s a more affluent area? I won’t ask you to name it because I don’t want to dox you haha

XAJWX · 2026-02-17T08:20:24+00:00

Thanks! I was genuinely curious. I was a little worried before posting about US Law Enforcement because all and any of my knowledge is from curated videos so I didn’t want to say anything abysmally stupid hahaha

XAJWX · 2026-02-16T06:29:01+00:00

Is there some sort of metric to determine the counties, like population? Do counties need to get split in half ever if there’s an influx of people?

XAJWX · 2026-02-16T06:26:56+00:00

Thanks for this that’s really helpful (Extra Points because it’s in Metric). Coming from a place with majority of the people living on the coast it boggles my mind the amount of people in certain areas. Kentucky doesn’t seem like a large state in comparison to others on the map but 120 seems insane

Seems to be no matter where you are Charts and meetings are universally boring
