| Topic | Bought a $500 litter box; cat won't fucking use it. |
| IdiotMachine 12/21/18 11:44:08 AM #21 | SSJCAT posted... thats a lot of fuckin vacations We're fortunate enough to have good vacation/make-up time benefits. We work four days a week (4x10hour days), and we can switch up our rest days whenever; so we take Friday through Monday (4 days) off regularly and just go travel. We also get 200 hours of personal time off per year, so gotta use those 5 weeks of vacation somewhere. --- |

| IdiotMachine 12/21/18 11:40:43 AM #19 | SSJCAT posted... i dont understand the point of these things. my cats use a plastic tote i bought for 5 bucks. We go on vacation quite frequently (numerous 3-5 day trips and 1-3 two week-vacations a year). Every single time we go, we hire cat sitters to come clean the litter box, which costs $30-$50/visit (rate changes depending on demand and how often you hire them in a row). So with this, we're hoping we hire our cat sitter much less (e.g. don't hire them at all for the 3-5 day trips, and hire them maybe once or twice per two-week vacation). --- |

| IdiotMachine 12/21/18 9:24:34 AM #1 | https://www.litter-robot.com/litter-robot-iii-open-air-with-connect.html Bought this son of a bitch, and it's been three days... cat won't go anywhere near it. What I've tried: *Placed same litter inside the thing that they've been using for years now, *Placed the Litter Robot at the place their old litter box was, *Their old litter box is next to the Litter Robot but has been kept dirty (i.e. no scooping) for three days to encourage them to use the Litter Robot, and *Placed treats around/on the Litter Robot to associate good things with it. But they won't freakin' use it. The old litter box is dirty as fuck and it's really smelly... I'm thinking of just removing the fucker and giving the cats the Litter Robot as their only choice. --- |

| IdiotMachine 12/19/18 11:18:07 PM #7 | Duncanwii posted... What happens if they give you the wrong prescription? Youd have to mail it back again and wait for the new medicine to arrive. With a pharmacy if you get the wrong pills you just drive to the pharmacy and correct it and it'll only take a couple of hours, not so much with Amazon. Meanwhile you die of a heart attack waiting for the correct heart medicine to get to you. There are mail order prescriptions already. --- |

I'm not sure which one to go for and why...get the 556 one and and a .22 conversion kit or a dedicated upper receiver and switch them out as you please. I looked into that but found a S&W M&P15 22LR for like $300, where conversion kits are around $200... So if I was going to do that I'm seriously thinking of just buying both rifles >____> --- |

| IdiotMachine 12/15/18 10:58:20 AM #8 | Paragon21XX posted... For kids and first time shooters to cut their teeth on as flinching when the gun fires is a big issue early on. By using small caliber rounds such as 22LR, one can condition themselves to not flinch and control the weapon better. So if I already have a 22LR rifle (Henry lever action rifle), should I just go get the standard 223/5.56 or just stick with the 22LR? --- |

| IdiotMachine 12/14/18 4:04:51 PM #33 | Jiek_Fafn posted... I have a much cheaper self cleaning litter box and I love it. It looks like a regular litter box but this rake goes over and pushes shit into a bag at one end. With two cats I change the bag 2x a week. I wash it like every month or two. I think I know which one you're referring to. Isn't that the one you have to use their special crystals? --- |
| Topic | Bought a $500 litter box. |
| IdiotMachine 12/14/18 7:09:19 AM #22 | MagnusX posted... My limited anecdotal evidence is positive. A good friend had it and recommended it, and as far as I know his is still going at 6+ years. We've replaced the filters inside the drawer and a foam around the sphere but otherwise no issues at all. My sister bought one on our advice 3-4 years ago. She didn't clean it though and the cats stopped using it because stuff will accumulate over time, so she just went back to a regular litter instead. Entirely on her there. She did clean it eventually and it the cats resumed using it. I think it's still working fine now, though I think she may have mentioned an issue the last time we spoke. Not sure, I didn't follow up on it. Isn't cleaning it just wiping the inside once a month or so? --- |

I change the bag in the drawer once a week and we spray clean it once every couple months. The cats have no problem with it and will just poop on the mat next to it if it's not clean or full, just like they would a regular litter. What happened to it after five years and what did you get to replace it? --- |
| Topic | Bought a $500 litter box. |
| IdiotMachine 12/13/18 9:45:28 PM #15 | Hexenherz posted... That is weak as hell. There's another $500ish one that you actually connect to water and sewage lines and it basically flushes for the cat after they're done. It's around $300 IIRC and it has terrible reviews. Pretty much any automatic litter box we found had terrible reviews EXCEPT for this spaceship looking thing. In the long run, we think it would save us money since we don't have to hire pet sitters as often anymore. We regularly go on 3-5 day vacations, which requires one or two pet sitter visit, and we go on a couple 2-3 week vacations a year (where we would hire a pet sitter to come every three days). At $35/visit, we're dramatically reducing the cost of our vacations with this thing IF the cats use it, it works as promised, and it can hold a weeks worth of shit per reviews we've read (thus instead of one visit every three days, it can be one visit every six days or so). Note that we already have an automatic feeder that can hold over a month's worth of food and a water fountain hooked up to the house water system, so automatic litter box is all we need. --- |

| IdiotMachine 12/12/18 6:36:48 PM #1 | This past weekend, I rented a car in Vegas and drove to the Grand Canyon. In Arizona, I got a speeding ticket, apparently going 106 in a 65 zone. Police officer wouldn't let me off with just a warning despite my protest and pleading; she said the best she can do is make it a civil traffic ticket (vs. criminal), and let me do an online driving course. After completing the online driving course, I'm to call the court, and they will dismiss the ticket. Nothing will show on my record. So now, I have to do this 4 hour online driving course... and it costs like $200! Bleh... Redacted copy of the ticket: https://imgur.com/8K8CseM --- |
