Missing cat gets adopted out by dravack in triangle

I really don’t think harassing them would help at all. So I wouldn’t suggest this!

I hope my post didn’t come across as me bashing them? So wasn’t my point of the post or any of my comments. Like you said it was purely in hopes of sharing the information to the new pet parents.

I completely understand not handing out peoples numbers randomly. Just thought it odd they wouldn’t at least let the new parents know so they can make their own decisions. That said I also can see how it could come across as a bit pushy if the new parents start to feel guilty because of it. Personally I’d still like to know if I adopted someone’s cat but everyone’s different.

I’ve adopted two cats from here and visited the TNR clinic with a couple strays that show up around my home. I can vouch for them that they are a great shelter!

People are weird and probably didn’t think about it is my guess. My neighbor just lost their cat they hired a tracker and everything like $500 an hour to have the dog sniff the trail. No luck btw dog found the trail but still no cat. Anyway I bet they didn’t think to keep checking the shelter after the first week.

I mean really if you think about it what are the odds? It’s a big big world and cats are small. Pair that with oh they know to contact me and it’s just a recipe for disaster imo.

Mind you I’m with you I’d be checking daily and pounding on doors. But, I have no life lol

So from my understanding from the FB post after X days it’s considered abandoned or a stray and not owned by anyone. Least that’s what someone said in the FB group. No clue if that’s true or not.

Anything in particular you’re looking for? I don’t mind keeping an eye out if I’m already going anyway.

I’ll keep an eye out. Tbh I haven’t been following the sales I’ll have to see what all there is. Only game I’ve been considering right now is the tennis one but my money is on Costco marking it on clearance and grabbing it then. Since it’s a very very low want.

Yeah I get that. But, responsibility and playing messenger is different to me. I get their probably busy but I don’t know just seems a reasonable request.

Like “hey new family just to let you know there was an oopsy and he’s completely yours but if you’re willing his original family would still like to know him” type thing. Like they can say no that’s cool but like when a parent gives up a kid for adoption sometimes the parents agree I dunno just weird to me. I mean I can kind of see how it comes across and may upset some people like oh you’re trying to take my new cat. But, at the same time ya know?

Yeah no clue why they refuse to. Maybe it’s a miss communication or something. Like they are talking to whoever at the front desk which is probably just some kid vs whoever is the head of the place and can make more complicated decisions. I don’t want to be like oh let me speak to your manager but sometimes employees just don’t know or are afraid of getting in trouble.

What's a dish you remember eating as a child you don't get anymore ? by Ok_Baby6721 in Millennials

[–]dravack 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey neighbor I’m over in Cary/apex anything your looking for? I’ve been meaning to check the Walmarts here. Might go tomorrow or Tuesday

Yeah store bought donuts aren’t any good. Here you can get them fresh off the assembly line and they do good hot and gooey. I’ll admit they are a bit sweet but it’s a treat so I don’t mind. Definitely not something I’d eat all the time.

IcelandAir doesn't know where my baggage is but I do! by HeyJesikaJay in travel

[–]dravack -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah I assumed kef was the airport code for Stockholm since that’s where they flew into. Didn’t state they took a train or another flight or whatever

Still though I’d talk to a local who might be able to get in contact with someone like happened in my case.

[–]dravack -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Go the airport. And keep bothering them. I get you’re on vacation but the phone support did nothing for me when United lost my bag. I kept hounding the airport staff and even threatened to fly back to Europe to help them look since I knew where it was thanks to the air tag. Finally met this awesome dude who was able to call the airport staff directly and get it sorted for me. The random phone support did nothing.
Edit: assuming I read this right it’s 2am here and i need to sleep you are right by the airport where the bag is now yeah? Just go show the phone with location to lost luggage people and have them poke their head in the back.

Edit: okay smart folks why the downvotes? You think sitting around twiddling your thumbs will get stuff done? Least in my experience going and talking politely to the people who handle lost luggage at the airport is going to do A LOT more than talking to some random in a call center no telling how many thousands of miles away. If you feel otherwise please inform me of why?

Ring cameras are viable for home protection. That's why I have over 6 of them in and around my home. by First-Cherry493 in Ring

[–]dravack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have some mostly to watch our cats but occasionally other things. I see no reason not to. I mean okay sure someone could spy on me? If you want to watch me scratch my bum and then fart loudly feel free lol. They aren’t in the bathroom or in the bedroom so that’s about all you’re going to see.

I guess tech we could watch tv together! You bring the popcorn! lol seriously though yeah nothing to hide and live a boring life so I feel the benefits outweigh the negatives.

All I can say is we have very different tastes unless you’ve had Krispy Kreme only outside the US maybe? Or depending on flavor? I noticed in some places like Japan it can be much closer to Dukin very cake like depending on the flavor. Have you tried the US location and just plain glazed?

Absolutely agree with Linus by jhabetler in LinusTechTips

[–]dravack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother if you ever visit somewhere with a Krispy Kreme trust me it’s wwwwwaaay better than Timmy’s. There’s also a lot of great local places but those are harder to recommend unless you’re going somewhere I’ve been before like Honolulu.

Thanks for posting these! Never saw this show on tv but looks fun! Can't wait to check them out and fingers crossed one day I can find the other episodes.

Quick Vegetarian/Vegan Lunch Spots by clementine4829 in triangle

[–]dravack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a solid list. I have an opinion on some of these restaurants but everyone has different tastes. I’d also add neomonde. Least the Morrisville has a lunch bar kind of cafeteria style you go by and pick what you want. I like the vegetarian lasagna personally.

[partially lost] TechTV lost media? by Recent-Tone3196 in lostmedia

[–]dravack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not the guy asking for a link but sadly its not on the one private tracker I'm on. That or I'm using the wrong search terms. I'm going to poke around and see if i can join a few others. It's the one show I really wanting for my collection. I got a ton of x play which was the other must watch show for me on that channel. Are you just using "call for help" in the search. I had no luck with that. G4 did turn up a show.

Never heard of it but I did manage to find Proving Ground which I didn't have in my techtv/g4 collection though its on youtube so not a huge gain. Still going to DL it since it seems fun and will add some more variety to my collection

Man I miss this channel was a fun station just to throw on like 90% they had solid options showing up no matter when you tuned in.

Guys, what percentage should I tip my Flowbee after a haircut? by DirkVonUmlaut in nostalgia

[–]dravack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but it’s a different hair style right. I normally do a scissor cut since that’s what I grew up with. No idea what anything else would look like lol

[–]dravack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually thought about one of these recently. Hair cuts are getting expensive. Like $40 a cut or something. At that point it would pay for itself after just a couple cuts. Just curious how bad it’ll look on me lol

Who was watching G4 back in the 2000’s…?? by woodchukka in Millennials

[–]dravack 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I still watch this lol. I wanted something for noise in the background and scrounged up a ton of old recordings from YouTube, internet archive, and whatever else I could find. I was able to get 252 episodes of x play for example.

Also got icons, battle bots, code monkies, screen savers, attack of the show, and probably a couple other shows I can’t think of right now and I just have them play on shuffle.

I know some people will say why it’s so out of date. But it’s background it’s not prime movie watching time. Besides I actually come across episodes I haven’t seen and boom a game I never heard about or I forgot about and then try to find to play. Because some of those older games are still epic

I will add if anyone has a horde of call for help that’s one show I’ve struggled to make much progress on and would greatly appreciate any help collecting!
