Yeah, that’s something I’ve been trying to work out. I was thinking it would be plugged in and included those wall covering tracks in the package, but ultimately that’s no solution. And if it’s mounted getting it down to charge or replace batteries doesn’t make much sense.

Yes, I’ve seen this before. Well not this specific article, but the idea that the laser pointer doesn’t give them that tactile satisfaction. Again, we do play with our cats with lots of touch toys. Just thought this may be a fun other toy.

I can, but we’re gone at work all day. Having something that can engage them when they want would be very useful. We play with them, but I think it’s a bit of a generalization to say it’s dehumanizing or we can’t make the time. There’s nothing wrong with wanting an additional thing besides myself to enrich my pets lives.

Edit: also, the angles. Our home is narrow and so to give them a good workout it requires a lot of moving around and holding the laser pointer over my head to get a good angle on it. Clearly you don’t have a cat, cause it’s 20-30 minutes when I bust it out, not 5. They fucking love the thing. Having something that knows the bounds of the space and can move through it smoother and more consistently than I can would be great.

Thanks for all the advice and responses. Sounds like anything coming to fruition is pretty unlikely, as I don’t have $100k to work with. The product was a programmable wall/ceiling mounted laser pointer for cats. Could map your space, design patterns, and maybe have some tracking to keep the laser in front of your pets and avoid it shining in their eyes. The controller app would connect via Bluetooth so it’d be local and no personal data like video or mapping would get stored, as I wanted to emphasize privacy.

Maybe someone more qualified can do something with it. Or Amazon will build it. Idc, it’s just something I’d like and thought it was a pretty good idea. One that, admittedly, I probably won’t do the work required to actually make.

For most, “College” is the first 4 or so years getting a bachelor’s degree. Beyond that is “Grad school” where you get Graduate degrees like PhDs, Masters degrees, and whatnot.

I only did undergrad and the degree was in acting so take what I say with a grain of salt as I am an authority on practically nothing.

The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, but the seed rarely grows near the rind.

I appreciate you taking the time! This is some great information and has helped me explore some other options. Im not holding out for any kind of secession though. My countrymen, even the same ones in California, are too lethargic for that. I hope I’m wrong and we will find something to finally unite behind, but for now the discontent is scattered and general which makes individual action harder and less effective.

Fellow Floridian keeping eyes on an out, but neither my wife nor I are quite “skilled” enough to go be able to get jobs elsewhere. She may be able to but she works in the arts so it likely wouldn’t pay much. I could work anywhere being in IT but I’m not specialized enough to get anything they wouldn’t just hire locally for.

Hang in there. Ive always said Florida is the best state if it wasn’t for the Floridians.

Whenever you want one! They’re not too expensive, between $12-$19 a year depending where you register it. I have a few I got just cause I thought it was a great name and maybe would do something with it some day.

For example: Iguanayawn.com

Hope it’s not against any rules to “market” or whatever, but I run a web hosting company, Genlack.com. Check it out if you decide to get a website up. We’d love to help you out! It’s just me and my dad, but we have 50 happy clients and you can host your own emails easy peasy.

I went to high school in Manassas and there was an interesting blend. Like you had yor ignorant, racist, seemingly country assholes, but their parents work in DC for the government and make 300k a year. The older generation seemed more liberal or old school “fiscal” Republican, but my generation seemed full of the pampered edgelord and entitled frat bros that eat up trumps garbage.

Idk man. It’s been 10 years since this meme of a presidential candidate went too far. This might be normal now.

I get the impulse to push back with this “well then he isn’t eligible to run cause he’s had two terms” but it just enables their argument. “The election was stolen so he never got to Serve his second term blah blah blah”

The dudes a fucking clown and a crook and has no business in the white house, but saying stuff like this just gives them ammo for their bullshit.

Edit: I know they’re going to find something to bitch about regardless, but my point it let’s not make it as easy as this. Let them keep grasping at straws like they have been with Walz.

Edit 2: Just realized I responded to the post and not the comment that I’m talking about. Edited to add clarity…

Good. Read, Thanks!

Listing things isn’t a source. A source is a reputable article or document. Not just shit you list. If there is a YouTube video of him saying that, please do link it.

That’s not a source. That’s just you listing one accusation and alluding to a bunch more, but nothing at all of any substance.

Enough? No.

Edit: It’s really not good. He’s pulled it together a bit, but there’s no way around it. At least Trump unraveled to his usual form. It would’ve been worse if he kept his composure he had in the first 15 minutes. My heart sank when Joe looked like he was watching cartoons dance around the room and TRUMP was the cool and reserved candidate.

I do believe that was the whole joke.

Edit: not to discount your point.

I think they’re saying there is support from a younger generation, meaning it won’t just die out.
