Shit , and I thought I had it rough . Good for you . <| sep |> According to benchmarks the i 7 in your previous laptop is 31 % moreCorei 73630 QMvsIntelCorei 56200 U 626 vsm 36796 efficient , however this is because you have a quad core i 7 . If you compare a dual core i 7 from 2012 the year of your i 7 to a 2016 dual core i 5 , the i 5 will certainly be better . However , the i 5 has a higher CPU BOSSCorei 73630 QMvsIntelCorei 56200 U score than the i 7 in your laptop , which is based on a number of more modern benchmarks . <| sep |> It ' s a miter saw not a table saw . <| sep |> locking the doors is considered rude hereThat ' s not your problem . So what if they don ' t appreciate your privacy ? Tough shit . Your room , your share of rent , your rules for it . Plain and simple . my cat needs to be able to go outsideAgain , not your problem . Who ' s the parent in this situation ? Isn ' t that you ? If you ' ve got a child who insists they need to play with fire every night , you gonna just say yeah because they need it ? Cats are not required to be outdoor creatures I really hate the people who keep vouching for it , the only animals who need to be outside are wild , they can absolutely be conditioned , and you need to keep your cat close to you . I lost a great friend ginger tabby named Axel to someone who decided she wanted to steal him . Don ' t lose your Merlin just because you don ' t want to offend anyone . Because then you ' re the only person who will lose . EDIT All the things you listed for Merlin being crazy are things all cats do . My cat has never seen the outdoors in her entire life , but she is wild at heart and needs constant stimulation . Could it be that you ' re not giving your kitten enough play time ? They ' re not as independent as you ' d think . They want you to interact with them constantly at this age , sometimes beyond . Either than or Merlin isn ' t the right cat for you .
