  • Make sure you get one of the professional ones. In fsct when i got the first one, i went to a beauty supply store that caters to hairstylists and barbers, as opposed to going to Walmart. Not sure if it is/was bullshit, but I had heard that Walmart gets lower quality units (not unlike the claims that the TVs sold on Black Friday are poorer quality compared to regular ones). Both of mine were made in US.

    Just a heads up, you can buy new blades for fairly cheap. On my old unit I replaced the blades maybe 10 years into owning it. I think because of how the blades are shaped, sharpening them might not really be possible. But I could be wrong.


  • Oh when are the illogical “lAnDlOrDs ArE eViL!” pitchforks going to come out??

    Either way, $24k doesn’t pay for shit. Taxes alone on a house could take a huge percentage of that $24k/year. Even the lamest of burger flipping jobs would double that money coming in and give you some more reasonable amount of funds to live off of. And if you are renting out a house for $2k/mo then you’d need insurance and cover maintenance. Everything costs money.






  • Wahl hair trimmer. No nonsense hair trimmer. Made in the US. Corded so don’t have to worry about batteries failing. Been using it every couple of weeks for probably close to 15 years and only recently replaced it with another Wahl trimmer. Got my money’s worth out of the first one many times over and would highly recommend it. I expect the new one to last a similar amount of time.

    Yandex

    What is Yandex? I searched and got this:

    Yandeks, IPA: [ˈjandəks]) is a Russian multinational technology company providing Internet-related products and services, including an Internet search engine called Yandex Search, launched in 1997, information services, e-commerce, transportation, maps and navigation, mobile applications, and online advertising.

    Now I feel I am on some government watchlists for searching that.


  • blame it on the consumer

    Yeah. Blame it on the consumers indeed. Are you a adult or not? Put the tendies down and put your big boy pants on and realize that you need to take responsibility for at least some of your actions.

    Same goes for all those dopes that pre-order every game that gets released and then we all wonder why the industry releases so many unfinished games that need patches and updates. That’s because consumers are rewarding these game developers for releasing shitty software.









  • Is the cat older? My oldest cat couldn’t step up into the litter box anymore so I ended up cutting the front of it so the step over was much smaller. You could also put a brick or build a wooden step which makes it easier for her to step into the box. It has to be heavy and sturdy enough to where it won’t move when the cat steps on it.

    Also check that the box is clean. I would dump qll the litter and hit the inside with a hose to make sure it is clean. Dey it, and then refill it with fresh litter. And make sure you scoop out all the poop out of it every day. Cats tends to be very clean animals and don’t like a dirty box.

    Another thing to consider is if the box is too small for them. One of our cats is rather large so we had to get a larger litter box for them.
