02/17 - Spiritual Sunday!

Your block list is client side, MTurk still sends you all those HITs your script(s) just ignore them and only shows you what MTurk sends that isn't on your blocklist. Which at 3s/scrape isn't going to be everything.

 

Kicked the cats out of the room in the wee dark hours of the morning so I could hopefully sleep in. My door needs shaving down and won't close all the way, so they managed to get it open and come back in despite me thinking it was wedged closed (and they played with the sprongy sounding door stopper just to make sure I KNEW they had gotten back into the room).

I still refused to get up and feed them before there was sunlight.

They don't understand weekends. How do you train a cat to understand weekends are different, lol?

Oh, and PE = awesome for what little time I've worked.

 

Ours generally sleep until I get up and then they are READY. TO. GO.

Bearnie will wake me up if he feels I’ve slept too late tho, and he’s much worse if the weather is nice out. Luckily for me, it’s chilly enough that he’d prefer to snuggle with me until I move and luckily for him, I was out of bed by 7.

 

What's your scraper interval?

 

"Ever had a mustache ride before?" "What's a mustache ride?" "C'mere, I'll show you."

 

My one nice kitty snuggles and just waits for me to get up.

Lucy pain in the ash cat has different tactics. Mainly she searches my nightstand for anything she can knock over that will upset me and get me out of bed.

They want the canned food. They only get, like, a teaspoon of it every morning and every night (I don't want fat cats) but gosh do they want it. They know they only get it morning and night and never ask for it at other times, so they get "time of day" so I want to get them trained for "days of the week", lol.

I'd advise setting forker/finder to 1s and monitor your PRE rate from there.

 

Fwiw, if you feed them a balanced wet food, it for sure won’t make them fat and a lot of vets will even recommend it! It’s especially good for boys, cause it helps them hydrate more. I feed them wet foot in the evenings and I noticed they are full longer if I do one meal dry and one meal wet vs all dry, and I buy decent quality dry food that isn’t just fillers. Ymmv of course! I think it’s just a super popular misconception that wet food = fat. Holly chubbed up when she just lived with Matt because he only fed her dry food and she would howl for more- she’s now a healthy weight.

How do I get the trace_boundary_cvt has been granted ?

 

They have dry food available all the time. Wet food is just the cheap stuff, I only started it because I was trying to convince my first cat to come back inside when we got the new cat. Now I'm stuck, lol.

They're both a healthy weight. Lucy is freaking tiny. She is a really really small cat. Like 6 lbs was a healthy weight for her at the vet office! Lotta goes outside a lot so that keeps her healthy with all the running around. She just looks fat right now with all the fur because it's been cold, lol.

I must have really lucked out yesterday. It worked fine for me and my bonus of $3.76 came through this morning. It would not have been worth it without a bonus!
