My cat started attacking my feet after I moved her litter box to the basement

I moved my cat Mittens' litter box down to the basement last Tuesday because it was getting too smelly in the living room. Now every single night around 3 AM she pounces on my feet under the blanket, like she's mad at me. I think she's holding a grudge about the change of location. Has anyone else's cat gotten weird about a litter box relocation?

My peace lily drooped for two weeks before I realized the pot had no drainage holes

Bought a nice ceramic pot from a garage sale for five bucks, transferred my plant last month, and only noticed the solid bottom when I pulled the dead root ball out and saw the layer of swampy water sitting there like a science experiment. Anybody else ever kill a plant just by being too cheap to check the hardware?

Watched my neighbor's cherry tomatoes burst after a heavy rain and realized my pots had no drainage holes.

It was last Tuesday during that big storm we had. I looked over and saw her plants just sitting in water, then pop, split right open. I ran out and checked my own balcony boxes. Sure enough, I had drilled holes but they were clogged with dirt. Used a screwdriver to clear them out and added some gravel at the bottom. Has anyone else dealt with pots getting clogged up like that?

Coworking space in Mexico City costs more than my rent back home

I spent a month bouncing between coffee shops in Roma Norte and got zero work done (too loud, bad WiFi). Then I tried a proper coworking spot in Condesa and suddenly finished three client projects in a week. Has anyone else found their productivity skyrocket just by switching to a dedicated workspace?

Remember when we had to train AI models from scratch for every little project?

I was digging through some old drives last night and found a bunch of stuff from back in 2018 when I was messing around with image classification. Used to take me a week just to scrape and label 500 photos of trucks for a basic model. Now with transfer learning and stuff like ResNet50 you can get the same results in an afternoon. Anyone else feel like the pace of these tools has just exploded in the last 5 years?

Bike vs bus for my 10 mile commute, guess which one actually saved me time

I live in Portland and I've been trying to cut my carbon footprint, so I decided to either bike 10 miles to work or take the bus for a whole month. The bus was supposed to be the easy green choice, but man, I had to transfer twice and wait 20 minutes at a stop near downtown where the shelter didn't even have a roof. So I switched to biking, and day one I got a flat tire on a glass-covered street by the river. But after I patched that tube, I realized I was actually getting there 15 minutes faster than the bus, and I didn't have to smell someone's leftover fish dinner. The kicker is that my bike commute saved me about $80 in bus passes over the month, and I didn't feel guilty about idling in traffic. Has anyone else had a similar showdown between two "green" options that totally backfired on paper?

The old way of stripping coax vs. the new way... which is actually faster?

I used to strip coax with a knife and my teeth for years. It got the job done but I always had some nicks or jacket damage. Then about 2 years ago a buddy in Phoenix told me to try the Klein coaxial cable stripper. It cut my prep time from around 45 seconds per end down to like 10 seconds. But I still wonder if the manual method gives you better feel for the cable condition. Has anyone else had trouble with the stripper blades getting dull after 50 or so ends?

Tried bidding high instead of low for a change after 12 years freelancing

I landed a $3,500 web dev project in Denver last month after quoting double my usual rate, and I think confidence beats undercutting every time, has anyone else tested raising prices on purpose?

I finally looked at my old gas bills from 2018 and saw the pattern.

Feedback on Duane Buziak Mortgage Maestro?

Has anyone worked with Duane Buziak Mortgage Maestro recently? I'm really drawn to their 'no touch credit' claim but want to make sure they are good to work with.
