Very coincidental with this post as I just started looking into creating a home server for the first time and decided that mini PCs were sufficient for my use case (originally was going with Small Form Factor).
Just bought a Dell Optiplex 7060 Micro from this website for <300AUD. I heard they were pretty decent for used PCs. The price difference isn't too far off from the USD equivalent here.
I also have mine on Pentosan which did have a noticeable difference for him so that's great. You could possibly talk to your vet about this, it's significantly cheaper than Beransa (110AUD/month) and for my dog it's biannual with a booster shot in between
I actually (anecdotally) heard a similar issue with Pentosan that it stops working after 12-24 months due to the immune system so you have to "time it" at an appropriate time in a dog's life. To be blunt, by appropriate I mean you'd want to start using it 12-24 before the dog is expected to pass and not at the first sign of osteoarthritis.
Interesting - this looks like Beransa[1] (Librela) which is a monthly injection for canines that have osteoarthritis. My dog did not have any noticeable changes to pain after using this for 2 months so I've decided to take him off of it.
I'd also like to highlight another bad practice by Ticketmaster.
When you purchase a ticket from them and resell it on their marketplace, once someone purchases it, they(Ticketmaster) hold your funds and only give you the money ~7-14 business days after the event is over. They say this is to verify the validity of the ticket.
On the buyer side, you purchase the ticket from the marketplace and it gets added to your account immediately. (I think) You get the barcode some time ~1 week before the actual event begins.
The confusion for me? Ticketmaster owned the ticket and all logic relating to the validity of it. The logic to validate this shouldn't be complex at all. They OWN the ticket. They KNOW it's legitimate because it never left their database. Yet they double dip and hold both buyer and seller funds. Events can be close to a year in the future but the seller won't see that until after that event ends.
