I was thrilled to get my hands on the new Optoma GT2000HDR laser projector with its long-lasting 30,000-hour lamp life. However, my excitement quickly faded during the first setup. The colors on screen appeared dull and lifeless. Assuming it was a setting issue, I spent a frustrating hour trying every option available, from HLG to the various picture modes. Disappointingly, nothing improved the picture quality. It remained dull and distorted. To make matters worse, the color adjustment option was completely inaccessible, greyed out on the menu!

Adding to the frustration, the included remote control was tiny, with equally small buttons. After struggling to navigate the menus, my fingers and thumb were left sore. To top it all off, there wasn't even a user manual included in the box. With no way to fix the picture quality and a cumbersome remote, I returned the projector the very next day.

Did a lot of prep work for this, atf drain and fill, diff drain and fill, front knuckles/wheel bearings, oil chainge, custom blinds for the camper, air compressor with 4wheel inflator, steering rack bushings, door panel clip replacements.
Glad it’s not raining, I have to reseal the camper windows already (ARE caps suck).
Don’t buy BFG ko2s, mine haven’t been balanced since I got them like 10k miles ago, had discount tire try to rebalance them twice since I got them there. I’ve replaced tie rods and a steering shaft to try to fix this. Darn wheel shakes so hard it made my right wrist swell and get sore. I’m probably gonna just try and get new tires or wheels and see if this fixes it. Not sure why they can’t just balance them. I even balanced them all once while I still worked at a Subaru dealer ship. One was 3oz off when I roadforce balanced it on a Hunter tire machine. Didn’t work for long, they start to wobble and oscillate again pretty quick.

It has been said that the Lord of the Rings is the origin of the high fantasy genre. I would consider Elden Ring to be something of a deconstruction of high fantasy tropes. A very instructive step of a deconstruction (or of duplicating results) is to look at a thing and examine the elements it is made of. The more general the better - the goal is to find the things that inspired the thing:

• The setting is inspired by research into many real world mythologies and folk tales. And Tolkein's religious beliefs as a Catholic.
• Tolkein invented full language systems that were used to add extra significance to the names of people and places
• The personal history and psychology of the author had an undeniable influence on the themes of the story (when Tolkein writes about the devastation of war it is from a place of sincerity - because he lived it)

So, these are the ingredients of a successful fantasy story that also apply to Elden Ring - draws parallels to previous fantasy stories including mythology, use of bespoke words and naming schemes that are internally consistent as parallel to the real world, and incorporates psychologically-driven themes (in the case of Elden Ring I believe that it is less of the psychology of a person and more about drawing on the psychology of the gaming company FromSoftware...but that is beyond the point of this post).
And regarding the influence of Tolkein there are a few more explicit parallels to be drawn. Which for legal reasons regarding the rights to adapt Tolkein's Legendarium will likely never ever be confirmed by FromSoft. But as I see it getting references under the radar of the copyright lawyers is a time honoured tradition of deconstructive fantasy stories and parodies, so I will attempt to explain these connections as I see them, regardless. Also note that I am writing from the perspective of someone who has been familiar with the Lord of the Rings but never before looked at the extended mythology.
A linguistic connection is formed in the space between two main points that I am aware of: Gelmir of Nargothrond as the possible naming inspiration for Mt. Gelmir, and geographical region "Taur-en-faroth" containing part of the name used for Fort Faroth.

Gelmir

"J.R.R. Tolkien has become a sort of mountain, appearing in all subsequent fantasy in the way that Mt. Fuji appears so often in Japanese prints. Sometimes it's big and up close. Sometimes it's a shape on the horizon. Sometimes it's not there at all, which means that the artist either has made a deliberate decision against the mountain, which is interesting in itself, or is in fact standing on Mt. Fuji." - Terry Pratchett

First addressing Gelmir - literally the volcanic mountain is a reference to Tolkein. As clear of a declaration as possible that Elden Ring intends to stand on Mt. Fiji.
Gelmir in the "canon" version of the Legendarium was an elf of Nargothrond who was captured by the forces of Morgoth at the "Battle of Sudden Flame" which was the fourth great conflict in the War of the Jewels (the war over the 3 silmarils for which "the Silmarillion" is named). He was subsequently blinded and tortured for 17 years until his death - after having his limbs cut off to taunt his brother Gwindor into attacking recklessly - at the start of the fifth great conflict known as "The Battle of Unnumbered Tears". Gwindor himself was captured and held prisoner for an additional 17 years after this battle, before escaping at the expense of having a hand cut off and eventually dying in another battle of the war. He was in love with a golden-haired elf maiden named Finduilas (name meaning "hair of spring leaf") who he also called "Faelivrin" meaning "Gleam of the Sun on the Pools of Ivrin" ("Pools of Ivrin" being a location in the land called Beleriand). She was killed before the end of the war by being nailed to a tree with a spear.
For context, the sixth great conflict was called "The War of Wrath" and was the final one. Morgoth brought dragons to the battle to blast the battlefield with fire and lightning - which had never been done in any previous battle - and the outcomes were that Morgoth was beheaded and kicked through a portal into the void and the northwest corner of the map including almost all of Beleriand (an area equal to the size of the entire Middle Earth map at the time of the Lord of the Rings story!) sunk into the ocean.
There is a lot to work with here already - first being Gelmir's associations with flame and imprisonment and torture that are shared by both Tolkein's and Elden Ring's purposes. Blindness is noteworthy, considering how often this is a theme with Elden Ring characters and even partial blindness is enough to cause madness as indicated by the Prisoner Helmet. Taking a few lateral steps arrives at a golden haired maiden who shares the method of execution used for Marika. And her name meaning "gleam of the sun on the surface of the water" exactly describes the imagery seen in the Elden Ring item "Memory of Grace".
But there's still more to spin from this line! Because Finduilas had another lover named "Turin Turambar" who was a friend of Gwindor and whose family had been cursed by Morgoth. Turin owned a magic helm upon which was perched an image of the Golden Dragon Glaurung - similar to the style of helmet worn by Elden Ring's Banished Knights) - and which allowed him to survive dragon fire. Turin found on the grave of Finduilas a naked woman who he called "Na­niel" or "Maiden of Tears" - because she had lost her memory and was crying - and wed her with neither knowing that they were estranged brother and sister (this is based on the Finnish story of Kullervo, with which Tolkein was especially fascinated). This was revealed to them later to be a machination of Glaurung when Turin was in the midst of slaying the dragon, and subsequently both Turin and Naniel killed themselves. Before meeting his end, Turin also described himself in (probably) poetic terms as having blindness being the curse placed upon him by Morgoth, which is assumed by readers to be more a matter of tunnel vision or short sightedness rather than literal blinding. He is also apparently prophesied to return to life someday in the supplementary materials.
What this means exactly for Elden Ring is up to interpretation. A story could be spun by combining Gelmir, Gwindor, and maybe even Turin into a single character who are motivated by unrequited and/or incestuous love for Finduilas/Naniel also made into a single character - to fill in the empty spaces around the characters of Marika, Radagon, and Godfrey. Or there could be some other purpose for naming the mountain "Gelmir". There is room for more nuance here because there are the alternate Gelmir's to consider.
In one version, Gelmir was king of the gnomes, by which Tolkein was inspired by the Greek "gnome“" meaning "thought" or "intelligence". But this was dropped due to the cultural confusion with gnomes being wrinkly little creatures.
In another version Gelmir was the same character as Finwe, an elf who was born during the "Years of the Trees" that preceded the era called the "Years of the Sun". At this time, the light of the world was confined to the Lands of the Valinor (a pantheon of Creator types) in the west provided by the female golden tree named Laurelin in the south and the male silver tree Telperion in the north. Finwe's wife was a weaver named Mi­riel Therinde and his son Feanor was responsible for forging the Silmarils and jealously guarding them (And also he invented the 7 palanti­ri scrying stones + 1 master stone, and the Tengwar writing system). The grandson of Feanor and last of his line was Celebrimbor, meaning "silver fist". Celebrimbor forged the three rings for the elves (named for air, fire, and water) that were subject to the One Ring but never corrupted by it. So, it's possible that "Gelmir" is selected for being a deceptively niche character who was actually in another lifetime very closely connected to these core events of the history. The appearance of a character named "Miriel" is also interesting in the context of Elden Ring's Miriel, Pastor of Vows.
As a side note, something else of interest from this Tolkein deep dive was regarding the relationship between the silmarils and the world trees of the Valinor. The 3 Silmarils contained the remaining light of the two trees that were destroyed and had the sun and moon forged of their fruits by blacksmith Aule. When the trees were first made they were sung into existence by Yavanna and watered by the tears of Nienna (who was a teacher of the wizard Gandalf and in earlier versions of the Legendarium called "Queen of Shadow"). Nienna again wept healing tears upon the trees to grow the fruits when they were dying. Morgoth stole the Silmarils and set them into his Iron Crown, and upon his defeat the stones were pried out and the crown beaten into a collar for his neck (in the brief period of time before he was kicked into the void anyways). One Silmaril was thrown into the sky where it became the Evening Star. Another was cast into the sea. And the third was cast into a firey pit in the earth along with its possessor.
And as an addition, it is not farfetched that Morgott = Morgoth is an intended spiritual parallel. Considering that Morgoth was indirectly responsible for the blinding and killing of Gelmir (brother of Gwindor) in Tolkein's mythic history. And in Elden Ring this seems expressed in the Shattering War though Morgott pursuing Mt. Gelmir most fiercely. In a more broad sense, Morgoth was the identity taken by Melkor after he was released from the chains made to bind him by Aule, which is somewhat similar to Morgott/Margit using alternate names depending on the circumstance (and Margit's Shackle paralleling Melkor's binding chains).

Faroth

"Faroth" is a Sindarin word meaning "hunters". The "Hills of the Hunters" (Taur-en-faroth) was a location in West Beleriand, the aforementioned western part of the continent that sunk into the ocean at the end of the War of the Jewels. In these hills was hidden the secret elven city of Nargothrond on the Narog River. The same from which Gelmir of Nargothrond is associated. The city began as a Dwarven Hall for the petty dwarfs (exiled and unsociable dwarfs smaller than typical dwarfs), was conquered and ruled by the House of Finarfin (a son of Finwe), and was sacked and turned to the lair of the dragon Glaurung some time after The Battle of Unnumbered Tears. And then fell into the ocean.
At this point there are too many names, which is why I sketched a family tree of all of all these elves that is attached to this post.
Some general trends:

1. Of the 3 family lines the middle one has significance for being the one to produce the Numenor Kings of Men
2. The family lines at the two sides have plot significance as discussed in the Gelmir section, but then their lineages die off.
3. Typically continuity is maintained through the male lines, with sole exception of Idril in the 3rd generation removed from Finwe. The origins of the women spouses are typically left vague (with 3 exceptions near the root of the lineage: Indis has a famous uncle, Nerdanel has a significant blacksmith father, and Earwen's extended family has some substance to it)

If a writer wanted to do a legally distinct take on this mythology while borrowing from it for whatever reason, it would be easy to condense the feats and characterization of these 3 lineages into one truncated one. Maybe fuse Finduilas with Idril - two blonde ladies with minimal character - and also fuse together their lovers and you have a Marika + Godfrey. The narratively satisfying thing about Finduilas being associated to Gwindor (who may as well be made the same character as Gelmir) is that it creates a closed loop for the whole lineage when GwindoGelmir is substituted for Finwe, which is a very attractive proposition for a story like Elden Ring where time is a wheel and return to the origin point is a principle of the Golden Order.
Also this region calls attention to the significance of the river Ringil. That word comes up as: 1) a mountain river through Taur-en-Faroth that is tributary to the Narog river, 2) a sword held by Fingolfin (another son of Finwe), and 3) as the primordial tower - sometimes made of ice - upon which sat the south lamp Ormal (an orb containing the gold light of the world in the First Age that would later pass to the gold tree Laurelin in the Second Age). In an earlier version of the writings. The blacksmith Aule created the lamps at the request of Yavanna, who was herself responsible for the growth of fruits and trees. The end of the "Days before Days" (which preceeded the "Years of the Trees") occurred with the breaking of the lamps by Melkor, after a period of time where he had poisoned the land and caused the things made by Yavanna to rot.
I will note that the early timeline was a bit difficult to follow. I gather that there are spans of time lit only by the stars between the destructions of these various sun/moon light sources, a period of time with Yavanna singing all living life to sleep due to the lack of light. The First Age is also called "The Awakening" but it appears that much of the war between Morgoth and the elves began prior to the beginning of the First Age. There is an aside in which Aule was also responsible for creating the "Seven Fathers of the Dwarves", but he made them too early and they had to go to sleep so that the elves of Iluvatar could be the first sentient mortal life. I found interesting this additional context for the lamps:

"In the middle of Arda, where the light of the lamps mingled, amid the Great Lake lay the Isle of Almaren, where the Valar dwelt." - The One Wiki to Rule them All
"In J.R.R. Tolkien's older writings (not used in the published version of The Silmarillion), the Valar sought peace with Melkor, asking his assistance with fixing the lamps upon Arda. Melkor, still envious and hateful of the rest of the Valar, agreed to give them a strong, sturdy substance. He gave Aule ice. Melkor permitted the Valar to do as they wished until the fateful day when the Lamps' light and heat finally melted the ice. The pillars crashed upon Arda, flooding it with water and darkness." - The One Wiki to Rule them All

I suppose that if I have a point here it is that Radagon's Sore Seal talisman is found at Fort Faroth, which through the winding etymology of words is tied to Mt. Gelmir. Perhaps the blind Radagon was a hunter on a fruitless quest seeking the lost light of the Golden Sun that stood on the ice pillar of Ringil from the days before days - guided by the distant memory of the reflection of it's light on the water. Perhaps there is other meaning to be found. I acknowledge that after a certain point any interpretation found through these linguistics should be cross-referenced with everything that can be learned from all other sources of information in the game.

The Rings of Power

The big brazen choice - in my opinion - was to name the big metaphysical artefact "the Elden Ring"...and then draw actual direct parallel to the Rings of Power. Not the 3 rings granted to the Elf Kings under the sky - I've yet to identify how or if those are expressed in game. Not the 9 rings granted to Kings of Men either - those are seemingly represented in the 9 Night's Cavalry (and possibly the 9 weapon talismans that each feature a ring at the top of the head) . What I find most relevant here are the 7 Great Runes matching "seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone".
The first critical part of that phrase is the reference to "stone", for I find that the shattering of Marika's Hammer equates to the shattering of the wisdom of stone. But the second point of note is that the dwarf lords of Tolkein received their own curse from holding their rings of power - obsession with gold. A similar obsession is seen in Elden Ring where all of the demigods are corrupted by their great runes and covet the grace of gold.
The arrangement of the Elden Ring also has some synergy with the arrangement of its runes - 6 of the 7 dwarf lords pair nicely through the even numbers. The Seventh Dwarf Lord was the chief among them "Durin the Deathless", who was reincarnated 7 times by being reborn as one of his own descendants. His clan also was generally known to absorb members from all other clans due to his central importance. The first Durin (one of the 7 original fathers of dwarves) built the underground city of Khazad-dum that would later be called Moria after a creature of shadow and flame that may-or-may-not have wings (a Balrog of Morgoth) was uncovered in its depths by Durin VI. Durin III was the one to receive the Ring of Power from Celebrimbor, and Durin IV was contemporary to the first rise and defeat of Sauron. Durin VII is appears to be from the timeframe of the Lord of the Rings and second defeat of Sauron, though he did not participate and seems to be known instead for reclaiming Khazad-dum from the orcs.

Why Examine Tolkein?

So what's the point of the elaborate Tolkein parallel? There may be 7 ring-shaped great runes, but there is also clearly one ring that rules them all - the Elden Ring. Examining Tolkein is one of several avenues of analysis reaching the conclusion that the ring is a dangerous object that corrupts everyone who touches it and must be destroyed. Of the six endings the only one that understands this is Ranni's Age of Stars. And in the Lord of Frenzy Flame ending the Tarnished succumbs to the power of the ring with head becoming a ring of flame matching the firey beacon on top of the Frenzy Flaming Tower - itself visually recalling a depiction of the Eye of Sauron atop the tower of Barad-dur as seen in the 2000's Lord of the Rings trilogy adaptation.
And even more, there's one ring bearer in particular who provides another piece to the puzzle of Radagon and Marika's dual identities. The dissociative identity of Gollum and Smeagol can completely describe the relationship between Marika and Radagon. Two thoughts in one body. With this lens I think that Radagon/Marika were likely not separate entities at the time of their Shattering and may have never had a separate existence. They can appear to hold conversations with each other through reflective surfaces, such as a very shatter-able mirror.
It is quite possible that another Great Rune (or more) will make an appearance in the DLC. If this does happen, I'll re-evaluate Ring of Power theory based on the nature of the added rune.
One last note which, again, is oblique enough for plausible deniability. The end of Patches questline would have the Tarnished deliver the Dancer's Castanets to Tanith, inside the volcano. If you know anything about castanets, they are typically made of hard materials such as wood or ivory (or plastic) and carved into a pear shape. Not so for the Dancer's Castanets. From a visual examination these are made of metal cast in a circular shape and with a ring shaped engraving filled with filigree. A metal ring-shaped object delivered to a volcano, echoing the One Ring delivered to Mt. Doom in the Lord of the Rings.

[TL;DR – Rocket Racing's physics are neither meaty enough nor predictable enough for most hardcore racing fans, but its gameplay loop is too predictable to keep the attention of casual players. Blur's balanced approach to power-ups adds enough chaos and variety to capture the wider casual market while still being skillful enough to not feel like victory is arbitrary.]
Hello worldwide web, and thank you for attending my “clearly should touch grass” TED Talk regarding Rocket Racing, power-ups, and you! Please note that the idea of adding power-ups is intended as an additional mode rather than replacing what we have.
Chaos vs Predictability An important game design principle is the idea of the balance between skill and luck. The more predictable the game, the more you feel like your decisions matter. Too much predictability, however, can either make it feel like the game is playing itself or that the victor was already decided. Chaos can add a bit of excitement and pizzazz to a game, making each match feel unique while giving the impression that anyone has a chance. Conversely, too much chaos makes victory seem entirely random. In general, “hardcore” players tend to lean toward predictability while “casual” players lean toward chaos.
Rocket Racing's Problem Rocket Racing's gameplay, on a basic level, is a blast! Controls are slick, speeds are high, and its loose physics feel so utterly unhinged they provide a sense of exhilaration! So what gives? Why does it struggle to find an audience? I'd argue it's because its physics are unappealing to most hardcore racing players, but its predictable matches quickly wear thin for everybody else. For the hardcore, the arcade-y mechanics don't have enough “meat” to dig into (such as car parts, stats, road conditions, etc) and you never know when the game's physics are simply going to give you the middle finger and ruin a perfectly good run. For the casual, every single race relies on perfecting a single optimal route and utilizing obscure tech, while any variance in gameplay simply becomes a mistake that could cost you a match. (Jackrabbit's infamous shortcut is the perfect example: You either know the unintended route and nail it, or you lose.) When there's one right way to do a map, a map gets stale incredibly quickly. No number of new tracks will fix either of these intrinsic issues for either player-base.
Blur's Powers I won't deny that Blur had its own wide array of issues reaching even to its launch date, but in my opinion it had the single best power-up system of any racer. In Blur you can see what power you are going to pick up, and it remains that power at that location during the entire match. The spawn locations are always the same, but (except for rare locations here and there) what powers appear there are randomized between matches. Players can hold and choose between three items at a time, and can even see what others have. There is a healthbar that resets the player when destroyed, as well as a power that heals when used. The powers are balanced to be counterable by the other powers. The offensive powers have varying levels of damage, ease of countering, and amount they slow/swerve opponents. Blur's “blue shell” sends multiple columns of lightning ahead of the frontrunners to dodge, acting precisely like the glowing hazards already present in Rocket Racing when hit. (These hazards stack further and further ahead if multiple copies of the item are used.)
Why Add Them One of the biggest things Fortnite's “main” mode does so successfully is how it balances the fun of casual chaos with the skill ceiling of predictability, and it is a balance that Rocket Racing sorely lacks. Blur's visible powers – as well as the ability to hold 3 - allow players to strategize what items they think they need given the situation. Their careful balance means that those choices actually matter. Their predictability allows attentive players to know where to look during subsequent laps. Even in the case of the “blue shell”, it affects all frontrunners equally in a way that will slow them down but not outright steal their hard-fought progress. The healthbar allows power-ups to have other adverse effects besides immediately killing a players' momentum (killing momentum would be downright cheap in large sections of the maps); further, the healthbar forces players to think defensively rather than always take the fastest option possible. On the “casual/chaotic” side of things, powers would make each lineup of racers more unpredictable in their actions. The visible placement of powers would also give players more reason to explore other routes through levels rather than focus on the single fastest. The randomization of that placement would further aid in making each race feel more unique, immediately getting a ton more mileage out of every level. (Perhaps a nitro boost is on a route you normally wouldn't take, or you desperately need to heal.) This added chaos would also go a long way in making Rocket Racing's unhinged physics seem less problematic; suddenly careening off into the sunset just seems more acceptable in a race full of explosions and mayhem than it does in a highly technical race.
In summary: Blur's powers would add the variety that a wider audience craves while still being predictable enough to keep Rocket Racing more “skill-based” than a typical kart racer.

Got my braces put on today to fix my overbite. They estimate that I will get my lower jaw surgery in 12-18 months.
Thought they weren’t too painful but it’s starting to hit in my lower front teeth. The bite turbos are awful, so far I’m just attempting to swallow food with minimal chewing. I also already have a sore starting on my cheek. 😅

Firstly im not english and i will write quite a bit, so hope what i write is understandable.
I have had pain a long time, especially felt when pushing arm sideways supinated. i know alot of people have this problem, and i thought it was chronic by now. I got diagnosed by my doctor after having an ultrasound, and i had a version of Cubital tunnel syndrome. This week i magically fixed it in a wierd way in a 10 minute timespan. it seems like my CTS was just my nerve getting stuck in a position around the insertion point of the flexor carpi muscle, and it have been reliably stuck there for a long time. I have therefore had this "achy" and "inflamed" feeling at the spot showed by the first picture, as well as alot of sidepressure pain. Even just pushing the arm a little sideways supinated has been hurting for many many months, especially flaring up every time i armwrestle.
How i magically fixed it:
Believe me, i have tried alot of things, and especially the ulnar nerve flossing, which is this variation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieH5q3gt3yo
But this time i sat in my office chair and just started doing the nerve flossing again(the same as in videolink) as my arm was very achy at that point. I tried looking both ways while doing the exercise, and i started feeling small "pops" while releasing and pronating / supinating the arm. i had felt this before. On my second set i felt a big "pop", but area was still achy, all though i felt some immediate relief. Afterwards i sat in the exact position shown by the second picture for 2 hours (with a computer mouse in my hand), but with arms completely straight so the load is on the elbow. I also sit abit above my table.
This of course hurts a bit when you have this pain, as many of you may know that have had this pain. I decided to do this because i know it is optimal to have straight arms, and years of computer use has probably helped to cause this(is what i thought), so i did it even thought i feel some unease in my elbow doing it. After doing this for 2 minutes i heard another weird pop while working with the mouse, and pain immedietaly went away. i was somewhat shocked so i pushed a bit down on my elbow etc to figure out of it still hurts. It now hurt a lot less, so i kept pushing it a bit at times until another now small "pop" came yet again after maybe 7-8 minutes. I felt immediate relief in my pinky and ring fingers. I then decided to just sit like this now, in this exact position (second picture) for almost 2 hours. After the two hours i took my arm up and tried pushing it sideways supinated. NO PAIN, but elbow a little bit sore.
My theory now, without having talked about it with fysio or doctor, is that the side pressure from armwrestling (in a hook in my case) can pinch the ulnar nerve with the wrist flextion tendon connecting to the elbow, or potentially other soft tissues. nevertheless I finally feel strong again, and this worked for my specific case, where the pain is at the place shown in the first picture. Many times this seems to be fixable, and it is most likely an impingement of the nerve that you have to get into the right position to let loose.

I’m a new bunny owner (even though I had a bunny before, that was years ago). My bunny a girl, I adopted her a week ago and she’s approximately 1 year old, not spayed. I will be taking her to the vet to get her fixed, also she has a bump on her foot which I suspect is a sore hock so I want to get that checked (btw does anyone know what I can do in the meantime before the appointment?). I think fixing her will make it better but so far she’s been chewing some things that can be bad for her - plushy (she made holes in it), paint on the wall corners, my plastic phone case.. etc. I worry that it might be bad for her, how can I stop her from doing it? I watch her all the time but as soon as I turn my back for one second she already has a piece of something in her mouth…and she actually eats those things not just bites them and spits it out :( is there anything I can do to make sure she will be okay?
She has plenty of toys to chew on - wooden sticks, pine cones, a wooden toy from the pet store, hay twists, carton rolls from the paper towels, carton box. And she does chew all of that but still eats the paint from walls as soon as I let her out. I also got her a tunnel and a foraging mat, nothing seems to impress her though. Also I have a problem with her not using her toilet and just peeing on her bed, as well as her not eating that much hay and fresh greens. Any tips would be appreciated.
