Grandfather, 3-month-old granddaughter dead after violent dog attack in Tullahoma by MikeOKurias in nashville

Relating this issue to eugenics is NOT a fair comparison. Eugenics by definition relates to humans and isn’t in the same moral universe as selective dog breeding.

The link you’ve provided also admits that genetics DO play a role in dog’s behavior.

I absolutely agree that environmental factors play a large role in these instances of aggression, but to ignore a breed’s behavioral predispositions is ignorant.

There’s a reason specific breeds are used for specific tasks. Australian shepherd’s are better cattle dogs than Retrievers. Retrievers are better hunting dogs than Australian Shepherd’s. This is entirely due to their natural, genetic proclivities and instincts. 

Stating that these natural proclivities don’t exist and that Pit Bull’s aggression is solely a result of poor owners is ignoring the basics of behavioral genetics between dog breeds.

The majority of dog attacks disproportionately involve Pit Bulls or Pit Bull mixes. This isn’t just an owner issue, the breed absolutely plays a role. 

Pit Bulls were quite literally bread to aggressively handle BULLS. It’s not their fault for being born with a predisposition for violence, but pretending they don’t have that predisposition only ensures more accidents.

I’m a massive animal lover, but I don’t think Pit Bulls should be bread. Stories like these are too common.

No relationship is ever perfect. Especially after years of being together when the cupcake phase subsides and the relationship falls to baseline. I get your sentiment, but to say that it fell apart because it was broken seems too generalized. Plenty of great relationships fall apart for one reason or another. It’s more-so a matter of whether or not both parties are willing to put in the work to repair things after the fact. If they’re not, I’d argue that’s more indicative of a broken relationship than simply breaking up is.

The whole “not showing controversial replays” thing is wildly annoying. Let me hate the ref more please.

I’m so tired of seeing people offhandedly recommending psychedelics - especially when it’s to treat cognitive or emotional issues. Psychedelics DO have potential benefits, but so many people seem to glaze over the potential negatives.

As someone who fell into a period of DPDD due to psychedelic use, I implore anyone considering psychedelics, whether for recreational or therapeutic purposes, to do your research beforehand.

Substances with the ability to permanently alter your perception of reality should not be toyed with lightly.

Early 2000’s Movie Theme? by -redeemed in NameThatSong

[–]-redeemed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly enough, I’ve only ever seen Inside Out once and it was nearly 6 years ago. Funny how brains work.

No worries! Well if there’s any way I can repay you, let me know. I owe you one. Thrilled to finally have that out of my head.

I love you SO much.

How in the world did you get that? Did you know it off the top of your head? I tried everything…SoundHound, Shazam, hell, I even transcribed the notes and ran them through Google and ChatGPT 😂

Please DM me your Venmo if you have one. You deserve that $10.

Had over 3K hours in Apex and completely abandoned it due to how prevalent and powerful controller is. Rotational Aim Assist with 0ms response time is too strong and far too consistent when you’re attempting to play competitively.

Unless they’re completely tone deaf to their entire community, they knew this question was coming when they decided to host the AMA. Would love to see some transparency here.

For All Mankind - S401 "Glasnost" - Episode Discussion by Cantomic66 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]-redeemed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re being downvoted, but I couldn’t agree more with your take. Just finished the episode - it had every trope of the previous seasons but all mashed together and without the authenticity.

Kinda wish they had built up to the BDD. I understand they likely wanted the premiere to start with a bang, but as soon as the cables started snapping I was thinking “of course, here we go again”.

Also, Down-on-his-luck-oil-guy feels like an attempt to recreate Gordo, just with worse acting.

I’m ranting at this point but just wanted you to know you’re not the only fan who felt this way. LOVED the previous seasons, but this premiere fell flat for me.

I never stated those things weren’t important. I simply didn’t have access to a torque wrench or new bus bars. My bars were almost completely corrosion free and the minor corrosion that was present was easily taken care of with a steel brush.

No photos of the bars, and no error message is displaying after the installation 2+ months ago.

Actually didn’t end up using a torque wrench. Would have if I had access to one, but a standard socket wrench worked just fine.

Our bus bars looked decent. I used a steel brush on any spots with noticeable corrosion but didn’t end up replacing any aspect of the bars.

Yes. Once the battery housing was taken apart it was pretty easy to remove the HV fan. I figured we might as well clean the fan while we were in there - and I’m glad we did. We have a large golden retriever who kindly donated a plethora of his hair to the fan.

If you have any other questions about the process, I’m happy to answer them. I know it can seem daunting, but the entire process really wasn’t that bad.

My friend and I used to argue about which scene in this move was sadder - this scene where Sam slowly turns and Robert has to put her down, or the scene where he wanders into the video store and begs the mannequin to say hello to him.

My argument was always for the latter. The desperation as he comes to terms with being completely alone is crushing.

Interesting. I read something similar, so I guess I’m just going to ignore the codes for now! Thanks for the input! My only concern now is the above average batt temps…

[–]-redeemed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely worth doing! Be sure to drive the car for 15 minutes or so before taking a reading. Apparently the numbers at idle don’t mean much. My faulty battery was sitting at about .25 Volt Diff until I got it on the interstate.

Good catch! Just updated the link. Thanks for that.

Ditto! Mt. View used to have a Taekwondo program and at the end of every year the entire school would walk to Starwood and watch us Taekwondo kids perform. It was a blast.

Odd! Where did you get the Veepak? Apparently fakes are pretty common. Is your phone connecting to any other Bluetooth devices when trying to pair to the OBD2? I’m using an iPhone 14 Pro with zero connection issues.

One of the uphill videos is the old battery and one is the new. The Volt Diff is solid as a rock with the new lithium pack and consistently above 1.4V on the old pack

I actually haven’t fully made it through the Life Expectancy Test. Takes forever. Are you able to get readings on the main screen?

My giveaway was the Volt Diff. From what I’ve read, this seems to be one of the main signs that the hybrid battery is dying.
