An I going crazy? I vaguely remember running up there without a boost, but it was years ago and I'm probably misremembering. Was it ever possible without a boost?

Biden to push for Supreme Court ethics reform, term limits and amendment to overturn immunity ruling, sources say in c/news

Dems controlled the Senate with the slimmest majority possible. One fucker that owns a coal company was able to tank all meaningful climate bills and there was nothing Biden or anyone else could do about it. You can forget about any progressive policies in that environment, lol. Biden did well with the tools he was given.

TLDR: Mostly extortion via "protection" fees for various businesses. Also, illegal taps into fuel pipelines and then selling the fuel on the black market.

Some homeowners are doing surprisingly badly, even as their homes grow more valuable than ever in c/housing_bubble_2

Surprisingly? It's common knowledge that a high home value only helps when selling. When living in a home, you want the value to be as low as possible since it affects property tax, insurance, etc... That's one of the major factors that prices people out of their homes when their town gets gentrified.

The surprising part is the astonishing rate at which insurance premiums are shooting up faster than a hardened fentanyl addict.

This is very accurate! DS is all about dodging, Sekiro is all about parrying, and parrying is a lot easier in Sekiro than in DS. There's like one boss that is an exception, >!Deamon of Hatred!<, but for everyone else, you just need to realize that you can parry just about everything.

Sword? Parry. Punch? Parry. Rock thrown at your face? Believe it or not, parry.

Stepping on spears and jumping on heads is equally important to parrying, though those are more situational whereas parrying is ubiquitous.

Title is somewhat misleading. It's not for anything video-related. It's for using a (probably free) photo of actress Cuca Escribano without permission.

Best reasonably-priced self cleaning litterbox? (lemm.ee)

Looking to pick up a self cleaning litterbox but there are a lot of options. The coolest one I've seen by far is the CatGenie Automatic Cat Box, but it's nearly $500 and seems a little overkill.

I've also seen that the PetSafe Litterbox is a very popular choice, but it uses proprietary litter refills and crystal litter when I'd prefer clay litter.

I've been getting away with a $15 do-it-yourself litterbox just fine for a while, but I think I (and my cat) would appreciate something that doesn't require daily maintenance. Something as simple as an automatic rake would be interesting.

My main goals are:

  1. Requires as little maintenance as possible while keeping my cat happy and the smell under control
  2. No proprietary lock-in (I can use my own litter)
  3. Doesn't break the bank
  4. Built well, won't break / easy to fix / good warranty / cheap enough that I can just buy a new one if it breaks

While I am looking for budget friendly options, I'm also curious on the more expensive options. I can't imagine what justifies spending $700 on a Litter-Robot when emptying a litterbox manually isn't that bad and the CatGenie is $500 and promises zero-maintenance. Have you had good luck with premium options like that?
