Hahaha yes, it's really nice to get stuff to the door! Speaking of that, I need to order "litter pellets" for my cats.
It's good to be able to tho, nice for longer trips or if you need to go to the veterinary or stuff like that. I can imagine, I've driven on the outskirts of Gothenburg and a couple of times in Oslo. It's a whole other thing than driving in smaller towns.
White is soooo boring tho. I mean, I understand why people light bright walls, but why not go for pastels or something? Or accent walls, I like accent walls.
It's not a lot of work, often you just scoop out the poop, similar to how you scoop a litterbox while the pee crumbles and falls to the bottom (you practically use two stacked boxes with holes in the top one), I clean my litterbox once a day and then empties the bottom part every 2-3 days. I sometimes wipe the bottom with baby wipes (great for cleaning). I have two cats.
My cats didn't really like it but after mixing it in with the sand for weeks I went cold turkey and just replaced the sand with pellets and that went fine, I have a pretty thick layer, around 10cm that they dig around in.
Wow, that is really not meant to have cars. That sucks.
woah, that does sound unsettling with everything in white, it's worse than a hospital!
I've always been a bit confused about that, having emergency stuff in white. But it's still easy to see?
I have a small fire extinguisher that stands in the hallway.
Wood is nice in so many ways, it's always unique, durable, and pretty colors. I want as much wood as possible haha
Wow, all of those walls are so beautiful!, e-ink is really starting to be well developed with clear colors pretty much like a photo, and that could easily be used as a picture frame or accent wall and it won't use electricity at all.
I agree, my home is my sanctuary.
I think it's okay we went of topic a bit π
EDIT: I forgot to check the pellets vs clay link and it seems correct. I'd say the pellets are cheaper, sure a bag of pellets costs around 100kr but I need a new one every 3 months or so.
You would want a litterbox like this for easier cleaning and protip; but an old newspaper in the bottom.
ooh I understand! Cats are weird π I mean, maybe you better stick to that litterbox, or maybe you could buy another one and drill holes in it?
wow yeah it blends in well but it's also fairly visible due to the completely different texture (shiny against dull) and placed well. Nice!
Mine is standing on the floor! π
What hahah, it's not like it have to be in the hallway. It should be placed where it's easy to reach. I currently have mine on the floor in the guest room. The guestroom is right next to the entrance, but still.
Sounds nice tho! My home is a complete mess with all shades of white/gray/black and multiple kinds of wood. It feels quite cluttered and we have a lot of stuff as well so that doesn't help.
Have you seen those wrappings you can use on furniture? It's apparently called 'dekorplast' or 'mΓΆbelfolie'. Bauhaus has some. It's pretty cool how much you can change with that!
I think I type a bit faster on the computer as well but I find it easier to take paper notes while listening π€· And also if the notes aren't linear I prefer paper so I can draw arrows and stuff.
I have recently started using Obsidian and that program really helps me focus on the notes and not how it looks. I previously used Notion, wich is also great but if you go over a certain amount of GB you'll have to pay.
Your cat pees weirdly, hahah
Wow, that's a big difference on the speakers. what. Good job doing it!
What do u think of obsidian?
Sorry for answering so slow, wanna chat somewhere else where we can get a notification on our phone?
Thanks :D
I haven't used it much to say, but so far is it nice. It is a lot better than notpad++ and vscode. Both wasn't really meant to be used for note taking but that is what I used haha
No worries :D Sure thing, discord?
Discord it is! my username is
coffeetails, surprised? πNow did I not get a notification, your message was seen as read even tho I never saw it. I sent a request, my username is Kuma and my old number tag (how they made usernames before) π
