I'm not sure, I was looking for something inexpensive and quick to install at the time and the stickers fit the bill. There might be something out there, maybe someone else will have a better answer for you.

You can get window adhesives to prevent birds from flying into them. I have one window that used to be really bad for it but since we put the bird collision prevention stickers on it we haven't had a single one smack into it.

Just remember to put the sticker on the outside as it's meant to break up the reflections on the window.

Well you're in luck! Hoyas aren't highly toxic to cats, and depending how much your cats chomp down on your houseplants it's relatively safe to have one around. The ASPCA lists hoyas as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.

Like everything, quantity matters. If your cat eats houseplants on the regular then it will most likely get some GI upset. I definitely wouldn't put it in the same league as lilies, which are highly toxic to cats.

Update: So I may have gone postal... After doing some searching online a couple people mentioned insecticidal soap. Well, I happened to have some on-hand and figured screw it. Whatever lives, lives.

I'll leave them in there for a day and see if any plants survived (god I hope so...). Surfaces have all be sprayed with alcohol and all the substrate + nursery pots have been tossed, with the rest soaking in dishsoap.

Here's hoping I didnt just murder all my new babies. I didn't see a single mealy on any of them so no idea which plant(s) was the culprit.

Yay they lived! That was a nice wrap up to the season, this is definitely one of my favourite shows currently. It'd be nice if Jinshi could just be forthcoming about his feelings, I'm still not even sure if Maomao feels the same though I guess she's not the most in-touch with her emotions. Maybe next season they'll stop tiptoeing around it. I'm happy to see Lady Gyokuyou become the empress too.

Nintendo is right out to lunch on these price hikes. The Switch and its games were already stupid expensive, and then they jacked them up even more for Switch 2. I usually buy Nintendo consoles and games but I've been priced out of the new console. I'm not going to spend $110 + tax on one game when I could get like 5 decent games on my PC for that price, heck more even with sales.

I'm honestly surprised at the amount of people willing to pay these prices. I'm so sick of corporate greed.
