As cute as she is when she falls asleep on my desk, she'd fall asleep on the mouse, keyboard or the laptop. The new cat bed has worked really well.

You got the good beds too! I know what beds you got and I love them. I have 4 of them around the house, and my dogs sleep in them too.

I'm picky for my cats. Only the best.
This is technically a dog bed lmao. The range of dog beds seemed better tbh.
Cute dogs! What are their names?

Joey and Foxy. I didn't name them, their fosters did. lol Joey got adopted, but then the couple who adopted him started having allergies to his fur. I was an emergency foster and failed cuz he is so adorable.
The little Chihuahua looking one is Foxy. She was in a shelter and they rescued her. I puppysat for the foster and fell in love and kept her. She is is a big ol' mutt but she looks Pit Bull and Chihuahua mix and she does have those two breeds in her.

Aww you've got a big heart.
Do you post your dogs on here often? If you don't, you should.
Lily is prone to UTIs. Treatment can be pricey but that's one of responsibilities I (unknowingly) took on when I adopted her. I've been to shelters where animals were given up for financial reasons and it makes me

Oh yes, I'm no strangers to UTIs. My last dog had them. I should post them more often for sure. I keep forgetting to take my phone with me while they play out back. They are so darn cute. Your little kitty is cute too. I suppose she was just looking to get warm since she was sleeping on the keyboard. I saw the bed though and immediately knew you got her the good stuff!
I wanted to volunteer at a shelter, but I just don't know if I could handle it. Foxy was going to be put down (she was only 10 months too) when they rescued her. I don't know if I could handle that kind of stuff.

Please do!
I was leash training her and her adoptive sister, but kinda stopped when I got a full time job and things got stressful. I should do it again so they can explore more.
Sometimes warmth, sometimes for comfort. She can be really clingy. It's cute tho.
:((((( Poor Foxy. I couldn't handle that. I've got too much of a soft spot for animals. One of my high school friends wanted to become a vet but changed course once he realised what he was in for.

Spergpost alert:
Automatic transmission controllers.
I already have an old version working in my daily Commo Ute. It's controlling a 6 speed auto that I pinched from a VE. My Ute originally had a 4 speed.
A new, commercial version is currently in the works. I've developed some transmission, hydraulic and wet clutch models, (maths for that was a PITA) which will be used in real-time to improve the accuracy of my controller (model-based control). I won't go into details about these models tho, as they're my key differentiator. HTG and TurboLamik are very basic compared to this. My controller shows the physics of what's happening; other people just do this pressure for this torque
and pretend they can't feel their money being ground up inside the gearbox. Ironically, this is easier to tune as it can be reasoned about (although most of it is automated).
Smoothness and integration are my main pursuits, so that drives me to improve the accuracy of my controller. It just so happens that improved accuracy makes them more suitable for motorsport, so I've garnered some interest on Facebook with really crappy videos of the Ute driving around.
Safety is another big thing. I don't want to die driving to the Bottle-o. My day job is electronics for EVs, so I've been certified in automotive functional safety and I'm exposed to some automotive development processes. I'm looking at leaving my job or going to part time, as I'm falling behind schedule, but I have a mortgage to pay so idk.
Support is being expanded to the GM 10L and ZF 8HP transmissions. I have a 10L80 ready to swap into my Ute. Future targets are the ZF/Ford 6 speeds, Porsche PDKs, Getrag/BMW DSGs. Then more on as people request them.
I have to put tricks on them. One of my development benefactors is a team in Yurop. They want Clutch-by-Wire for drifting. Bogans love gear changes that chirp, so I've done demos of that (really not good for the driveline tho).
There's also the financial/commercial aspects of this project, but won't go into them here.
I wanted to get into Street Machine SMOTY but that won't happen as I'll be over age this year rip.

OK this is really cool. I'm a mech eng but my background is auto elec.
I did come up with my own way less technical product, something to do with pop up headlight control using microcontrollers. I tested it on my car, an AE86 and a friends MR2 and it works across Toyota models. I got some insterst online but then adhd kicked in and I lost interest in the project. I should finish that one day
Heck yeah dude this is some good markets to get into. I'm still stuck in 1985 so I have a manual box in my build (AISIN AZ6 6 speed)
I have a W58 supra box if you want to go full boomer build hit me up

Thanks!
Yeah ngl I had no idea what your line of work/background was.
ADHD is a b-word. I've thrown in the towel on this a few times over the years. It wasn't until halfway through last year that I started taking it seriously - I was approached by a few people and came to the realisation that there is a market for it. Before that it was just a hobby.
Let me know if you need any help with it. I'd be happy to pitch in NSA.
So? Manuals are fun. My family doesn't have any manual cars atm so I've got nothing to row the gears in :(
Idk this project has kinda ruined autos for me. I get in other cars and feel their subtle shifting imperfections (although some are really good). Others can't tell, but I've developed a sensitivity to it. I work with some calibration engineers from Holden and Ford, and they've had similar experiences haha.
Speaking of boomer builds, Dad and I have a Holden HR to do up but we're both time poor.

Does Sink use the bed at all? I had to rub the bed against both of the cats so they'd start to use it (they get funny about scents and territory).

No none of our cats... mt wifes cats haha.... ever didn't use the beds we bought them. I think it's because we had the dog at the time so they felt territorial 🐕 they EVEN took his bed!
