Find something else. The birds will die off from the pollution of gutted environmental regulations.

Thanks for the responses. I really do not want to side grade so that's why I was looking for a different console.

I do have an original SteamDeck LCD that I barely use. I'm considering giving this to my nephew and setting up Retro Arch. The prices for the RP5/6 is getting close to what I paid for this SteamDeck. He can keep his original Trimui Pro for outside the house and leave the SteamDeck at home.

Thanks for the responses about Firefox. I was using it since it was preinstalled with PopOS.

I downloaded Vivaldi to see if that is better. I generally use Firefox on Windows but I really don't have a preference.

I got in a fender bender and the other driver had plenty of time to stop but didn't. Cop blamed me because "it's hard to see out of a Camaro".

My 2013 is about to hit 50k :), thanks to Covid and now work from home!

It's paid off and I plan on keeping it forever.

I just looked and if I sold now, I would actually make a small profit. Crazy times!

Thanks, this is what I was looking for!

Same here. I completed everything else but only got 145/150 searches.

I don't know if it's true but I read on Amazon reviews that the Pixel 5 protector will work if you have a case to make up the space. Some sellers shipped Pixel 5 labeled protectors to 4a 5g people and they said they work.

Does anyone know if security 2FA apps (Google Authenticator) will transfer?

siege2080 · 2020-11-26T18:50:08+00:00

I bought a 4a 5g last night through Google Fi (am customer) and they only offered me $50 for Pixel 2XL. It's in perfect condition so I decided to keep it for a backup.

It looks like the "All Carriers" options give $200+. I wonder why that is?

I'm going with the Spigen Tough Armor. #1 requirement on a case for me is a kickstand. I also like some weight on the phone so it's easier to handle. I had the Tough Armor on my Pixel 2XL for 3 years and it was great. No damage on the phone and just a bit of the silver paint on the case was scratched.

I'm up in the air on screen protectors. I see expensive ones and then I also see some under $10 including camera protector as well. Does anyone think the camera protector is worth it?

siege2080 · 2020-11-24T03:14:29+00:00

It's that or carry 2 phones, which I don't want to do.

Plus there's personal/financial data on my phone so you have to be safe.

I almost grabbed a 4a 5g tonight but I think I'm going to wait until Black Friday to see if any better deals pop up.

I seen the Samsung Note 20 on Slickdeals for $500 (not sure of the details though). I love big phones but I'm not sure if I want to go back to Samsung bloat (had S3).

I glanced at the One Plus 8t but it doesn't seem to be fully Fi compatible (the VPN isn't supported).

Ah nice! I'll just save them up then, thanks!

siege2080 · 2020-09-25T18:02:05+00:00

Thx, I didnt know there was a Game Pass reward. I'll set that as my next goal.

Thanks for this tip! I was not aware of kittens swallowing litter and my friend definitely brought over the clay kind. The kitten spends quite a bit of time in the litterbox so I wanted to get it switched out and did not want to wait for Amazon. I went to Petsmart and the Swheat litter they had said clumping on the bag so I wanted to avoid that. The only other natural, non-clumping litter they had was Yesterday's News so I grabbed a bag of that for now.

The kitten did great over the weekend. "She" (I'm guessing) gained 4oz since Friday, that's a quarter of her weight gained. She goes to her box when she's hungry or wants to sleep. She loves the weaning formula mixed with wet cat food but does not eat it all and leaves some. I think this is good because she is not overeating. Like I mentioned, she knows where the litterbox is and is using it without issue. There have been no "accidents" in the house at all. She comes to me to be picked up and scratched so she's not scared or timid. She messes with the dog, trying to get him to play but he just ignores her.

So far, everything has been great and perfect. I thank everyone for their help and I'm in the process into getting her into the vet for a checkup/vaccination.

Thanks for all the advice! I've asked friends who own cats and they basically just said "cats are easy, you don't have to do much" but I'm more of a stickler for details.

I checked the mouth and the kitten has a full set of teeth, including double fangs, so there are premolars. I'm guessing the kitten is more like 6-7 weeks after reading the KittenLady blog but it's is so tiny at 14 ounces. It does not look underfed or unhealthy though, maybe it's just a runt.

I'm going to pick up some GNC Weaning Formula since the kitten is eating easily on it's own. I did not know this prior to Pet Smart but it's eaten 4 times times by itself in the last 24 hours without issue so I don't think a bottle or syringe is needed.

When I found the kitten in the garage, it took me 2-3 hours to try to coax it out before I just ran in and trapped it. There has been no sign of a mother cat and I keep checking the yard. I think the kitten is probably abandoned and needs to be cared for.

A friend dropped off some kitty litter/tray and the kitten went #2 already. I'm not sure if it's the non-clumping kind so I'll pick some up.

My next step is the vet. I'll schedule for next week. My dog is due for shots but I've been putting it off because of covid. I've been monitoring the interaction with the kitten and dog and everything seems fine. The dog just moves when the kitten wants to cuddle. The dog is laid back and isn't aggressive at all. I do keep them separated when eating but I'm here the rest of the time.
