Nothing stopping you from installing a “whole house” surge protector on that particular circuit. They aren’t that large or expensive.

Try scrubbing the walls with TSP (or most likely ‘TSP substitute’), you can find it at any paint or home improvement store. Then coat it with a good primer like KILZ to seal it all in. You can throw whatever cheap paint on top of the primer (grab a mistint from the paint store).

Save your receipts and anyone but a horrible landlord should let you deduct that from your rent.

I’m also living in the attic of a 120 year old house learning to fix stuff via youtube and This Old House reruns.

Really anything porn, tankies, or sports.

Then you should absolutely add one of those rock hide-a-key things to your list just for a laugh.

“Only break one law at a time.” None of us are perfect; That will help keep you out of life-changing trouble.

I’d go by the vet and pick up some NexGard for kitty and vacuum any rugs/carpet/pet sleeping areas periodically for the next week or two.

Even when I took in a foster that got the house infested, that took care of it.

Edit: Fixed NexGard spelling.

I have no experience whatsoever with heat pumps. I think they do some black magic with reversing the refrigerant flow; so there is probably a whole other set of specs and procedures for those.

Not a professional but Ive DIYed it. So the following may be oversimplified and/or not best practice.

You’ll need a gauge set so you can watch both the high and low side pressures. Your unit probably does not have ports to attach the gauges but they make some adapters that bolt on and pierce the lines. These work ok but will probably be another spot for leaks down the road.

You’ll need to figure out what refrigerant your unit has in it, there’s usually a metal placard somewhere that tells you this. This is how you’ll look up where your pressures need to be.

Finally you’ll need to source said refrigerant, which you likely cannot buy without a license or bribing someone.

The actual charging procedure I would look around on youtube for. It may vary depending on your type of unit but it’s usually pretty straightforward.

It’ll eventually wear off your skin. In a few days. On other, relatively non porous surfaces, it can be removed easily once cured. Porous surfaces like wood, cloth, or carpet? Sorry, it’s here to stay.

Lots of good advice here already, I just wanted to add I’ve had good luck with Feliway when I had to introduce a new cat into an existing dynamic. Could be placebo, but it really seems to help calm them down enough to get used to each other.

Yeah, polar/non-polar extractions are about as far as my home chemistry got. But the LSA was good.

Oh dang, someone remade SS13? There goes next weekend.

There’ll always be a way to get hold of the source but I’m not sure I’d trust some rando on some hidden back alley of the internet not to have messed with it somehow

That’s what hashes are for.

Dark, unspiced rum and any of the fruit juice monsters mixed 1:1 in a big gulp.

Keeps my heart on it’s toes.

The Internet Archive’s got your back. As if you needed a reason to donate to them.

¯\(ツ)/¯ That’s above my pay grade.

I just assumed they would blacklist the publicly available encryption keys and/or push an update that adds another security layer and has to be installed for new games to play. But I’m not super familiar with nintendo emulation so this may not be plausible.

Cant help but think Nintendo’s actions are too little too late now. That cat is out of the bag. About all they can do now is break compatibility on new releases.
