This is true, antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infection, not viral.

This is it, full stop. Dogs are individuals and should be treated as such.

I helped raise and home two litters of Staffordshire pups, we kept a rigorous list of the owners that we interviewed and checked the homes once a year to monitor the dogs progression. We made the owners sign a contract stating that if the living standards weren't up to snuff, we could reclaim the dogs. I worked with a fellow who raised Staffies for 30 years. In two litters, we had around a dozen well trained, friendly huggable porkchops. Two litters that had no recorded bites past a few months old (puppys nibble but can be trained), and showed no aggression with other animals. All those pups lived to old age, and passed in happy homes. I've also met too many pitbulls that were beyond any help i had to offer. Damaged dogs damaged by poor parenting.

I know my story is anecdotal, and i don't expect to change minds here, but i cant stand the outrage against such lovable dorks when something like the chihuahua exists.

Well I spent entirely too much time thinking about this. I guess so? Though I'm more of an HE calendar person...

Yes, but also its illegal to kill a goose.

And I'm pretty sure someone told the geese.

I don't think anyone's ever been upset at being in the background , but there have been cases of people trying to get upskirts or taking creep shots. I think that's more what its about.

I get up at 5, but I'm not functional until around 6:30...

I'm not going to lie, that last one is the hardest thing for me.

After years of trades i always loved having a physical thing you can touch and feel at the end of the day. I'm in university for tech, and i'm still struggling with the lack of achievement. I don't often get to see someone use a thing I worked on, so it kinda feels like I spent a lot of time doing nothing.

Redline is one of a few movies that i watched, and immediately purchased the Blu-ray for. Its sooooo good.

This is actually how my professor, who has a PhD in mathematics, does math.

The thing about sales, are that if they happen every month is no longer a big event.

I feel like an old man yelling at a cloud here, but it really seems like everything is on sale all the time, but the sales aren't actually sales they're just the price a thing should be

It's kind of a bummer, because I thought Mcgregor and Christensen were amazing in the show. But everything around them was lifeless and dull.

Yeah, when i played through it i quickly discovered that I'd have to set aside a few hours at a time in order to actually let myself enjoy it.

Luckily, this was mid 2020 and i had just gotten laid off, so i had time.
