I've had good luck with Namecheap.

I have been using a Framework 13 (12th gen intel) since April and I love it. The only complaint is the battery life (5-8 hours of software development with JetBrains IDEs), but in terms of hardware performance, it's fantastic.

Making more frequent, smaller trips might make it less of a pain? Maybe stop by the dumpster if it's on the way to/from a daily route you need to take?

Find the owner and tell them the cat is shitting on your property. If they tell you to pound sand, call city/county animal control to see what your options are. Alternatively, pick the shit up before your robot lawnmower runs it over.
