    Depends on your laptop and if it can be upgraded (if it's soldered to the motherboard, you can't). You know the brand, make and model?

    The neighbor who lives behind me keeps feeding the local stray cat populace. They're everywhere.

    Holy cuteness :emoji_heart_eyes:. Also, much sorry :hug:. Missing them is so hard.

    Honestly I don't know how I manage it, I kinda have this power to get whatever i want from him. Technically he said no more pets unless the dog goes (he's having many regrets about the dog because of how crazy energetic he is, and we just can't get him to stop jumping all over everybody), which we've talked about trying to find him a better home with people that are more active and would get him the exercise he needs, but i'm having the dilemma of "BUT WHAT IF THEY DON'T ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF HIM? HOW WILL I KNOW?!". Like I 100% agree that he would be better off in a home with more active people (now that I started turking i'm often shut up in my office so he's either in here with me or in his cage because he can't be trusted alone in the down stairs, he's a naughty pupper) and so in the evening when Cissnei gets home from school and Chris gets home from work and he's out he gets waaaay too crazy and there isn't a time when any of the 3 of us don't have at least 3 scratches from him.

    BUT, I get the feeling that even if the dog sticks around, i'll get to get another cat when my older one passes. Because spoiled. Also saying "But it'll be my responsibility and not yours and you'll hardly even know it's here!" usually works for me.

    No but you may have heard me say I have a laptop and a computer so maybe that was what you were thinking? I may buy a new cpmputer idk. Working solutions can sometimes over hire and make it hard to get hours to make it worth it (I used to work for them and at the time it was great but I have seen from reviews that it is hard to get hours now).

    One walk in the morning, one walk in the evening. Puppy energy problems usually solved. My dog stays glued to my side 24/7, as well, but he's not allowed in the kitchen.

    My boy is fixed and my girl is not, just because the boy was already fixed when we got him.

    So, sometimes, my girl cat REALLY LOVES ME and won't leave me alone. I'd be lying if I said that wasn't part of the reason I don't get her fixed. I love when she loves me :emoji_joy:

    No worries, I was just enthusiastically responding.

    Someone recently yelled at me in a bar that I disfigured my cat by having him netured, I laughed my ass off. I joked that I surprise neutered him (lol, isn't it always a surprise?!) and someone informed me that Bearnie clearly ran away from it so many times cause he didn't want to be disfgured lmao. Yup, that's me, shitty person for having my pets fixed. He actually loudly yelled about my "castrating," my cat too. Which, sure, technically, but it was just oh so fun to have someone lecture me on the moral implications of neutering my animals and how that makes me a bad person. I just wanted to drink my mimosa and talk about my precious child.

    He's a cat. He's just not smart enough to understand what's what here. Same person also claimed I should have just let Bearnie live as a wild cat when he got out though, so that person is clearly fucking stupid. Bearnie is happy to stay with me, it's very obvs, but he's also a little stupid and sometimes wants to chase a bird down the block and then gets spooked AF. Meh, nobody would say the same shit about someone's dog being los people are stupid.

    Worry not!

    With a quick google search, it appears you can upgrade those, but you need the model number to know what to get specifically. There's some youtube videos that walk through the process too. The important part is getting compatible RAM and being careful/gentle with the taking it apart and putting it back together. Totally doable though.

    Usually the forbidden error means your contract was terminated (happened to me and someone else I talked to). So not sure why it only works on the old one...

    I had the same fear with Bearnie but he's as affectionate as ever. I would say to be super careful though cause I had indoor only cats and when bearnie was lost, I was REALLY worried he would knock up a lady cat. I'm glad I was finally able to get it done even if meant Matt bullied the vet into doing it before we moved lol.

    Bearnie had a knack for getting sick or hiding when he was supposed to go in for his neuter. :bearnielazer: He still has his little sack though, so I don't think he much knows the diff tbh.

    imo not neutering your pets has even more moral implications. Animals aren't as picky about their supposed manhood as people are, and in some animals it's a blessing because a lot of domesticated pets have ridiculously high cancer rates that wouldn't matter in the wild because in the wild they usually don't live very long. People are so very stupid about so many things. Then again, I very staunchly believe that some people should be spayed/neutered as well as domesticated pets.

    It's gotta be something with the new PC. It's definitely not the termination issue if it still works on my other computer. I've been doing these tasks for a year. If they were gonna fire me, they would have done it a long time ago. Lol
