▲ 5 r/Catio

Space question

I inherited from my parents 3 free roam barn cats and built a 4x16 catio attached to my heated workshop so they can go in and out at will but can't run off onto the nearby state highway. Catio has a covered sandbox and I scoop it out once a week.

I love these 3 little jerks but they're still peeing and pooping in every little nook and cranny they can find.

I'm thinking about building a 6x12ft 7 or 8ft tall indoor catio with access to the outdoor catio.

Will that be enough space for 3 cats? They'll have platforms and cat trees to play on.

Frankenmuth credit union

K, friend of mine for 19 years, left her husband. Because of pre divorce financial shenanigans, she's short on money and needs a car. Yesterday I tried to loan K some money to get a decent car. My credit union (Team One CU in MI) asked me a series of private invasive questions, in the lobby in front of other customers, then refused to do the wire transfer because apparently a single guy sending money to a woman in another state is an auto fraud block, regardless of how long I've known her or the circumstances.

I withdrew the money and started an account with Frankenmuth CU in Bad Axe. Did the wire transfer paperwork. Answered the questions, signed the forms. Today, Todd from their fraud department called me and asked the same questions over. Todd then started to interrogate me and ask why my friend couldn't borrow the money from someone else or take out a car loan. Todd told me the wire transfer was blocked solely because it was being sent to a woman and that means it's a romance scam. Todd then arrogantly told me to go google 'romance scam' and ignored me when I tried to explain for the 4th time this is my best friend of 19 years who dropped everything to fly in and help with my dad's funeral a few months ago. I asked to speak with his supervisor, and he said he'd "forward the complaint". I admit at this point I lost my temper and cursed him out.

WTF is going on? I answered all their questions and signed all their forms. This is someone I've known who dropped everything and flew in to help when my dad died a few months ago. Literally my best friend. How misogynistic can they be to assume that a wire transfer to a woman in another state is a scam but a transfer to a man isn't? Would they have approved the transfer to a woman but not a man if I had told them I was gay? Do you need to out yourself and tell a bank fraud rep your sexual orientation to do a wire transfer to someone you've known for 19 years?

Misogynistic fraud system

DnD group used to recruit into a real life sex cult

I was in the Army, at Fort Bragg back in the late 90s. There were 2 gaming stores in town. One big one and one smaller one that was in the 2nd floor of a house converted to a real estate business on the first floor.

This couple, Wendall and don't remember his wifes name, ran the store and ran different games each night. Battletech one night, shadowrun the next, etc. DnD once a week and every other weekend a huge all night DnD game and the players would just rack out in sleeping bags.

At the same time the couple were running a Vampire Masquerade LARP at the techno club in town. I tried it once, thought it was silly and quit. To be honest, I thought Wendall was a dick abusing the game to force his 'minions' to pay for his drinks. But most of the DnD players were in the vampire larp so even though I wasn't in the larp, I was still around it and hanging out with some of the players.

Started noticing some wierd stuff. Wendall and his wife making their minions bring food and drink to the game nights, pay for drinks at the club etc. Then I started to notice that Wendall was 'dominating' a guy and his GF and making the GF sit with him and the guy act subservient to his wife who was not attractive.

The store went under and they moved all the gaming to their rental house and that's when I started realizing that most of the larpers were young soldiers away from home for the first time and this couple were basically taking advantage of young nerds out on their own for the first time and using the dnd and other games to hook them and the 'we're popular at the club so you're popular too' (of course they were popular, they were selling weed) to reel them in and use them to financially support Wendell and wife and sex stuff too.

I got away from the situation before I could be reeled in but I heard from some friends that a dude snapped and took a couple shots at Wendell for using the larp to bang his gf and the gaming house got shut down.

Other than raise the rig 20 times, is there any hidden objectives to oil rig? I'm at the point where I'm stable on food and water production and just running metal dredges and the oil pump to do the rig raises and it's gotten kind of boring. Nothing left to tear down or build.

Also, has anyone tried building concrete foundations on that map?
