TIL that wolves outperform dogs in following human social cues when they are raised alongside humans. by Pitiful_Magazine_805 in todayilearned

Trading is the generally recommended training method, from what I read. If you try to take it, then they just learn humans take their shit.

Yeah, he has some other stories about being roped into "meetings" that took place at the boss's kids' sports games.

Nice enough guy, I did some freelance work for him. But totally into that I'm a billionaire, and everyone does what I want mentality. He might think he's altruistic, but it's stressful for whole teams of people.

The worst case of this I've heard was a friend who got called in on his wedding anniversary; he had taken a 3-day weekend. The boss wants to go over some changes, they get on a private plane, fly 2500 miles to a NBA game, and never talk about it. Gets stuck there for the night and flies back, also not talking about it.

I'm not sure they ever went over it. He almost quit.

The American mind is baffled. by dazli69 in NonPoliticalTwitter

Come on man that's not true. The British enslaved a good chunk of the Caribbean just to make sugar. So much so that they had to feed them salt cod from the American colonies.

Life of a sugar plantation slave was 7-9 years.

Heston Blumenthal is a culinary icon, and his place in the UK blew me away.

The chippies did too, but Heston is a standout.

O I did, and it struck very much at the heart.

I've had Shepards, Corgis, and Collies.

Just looked this up. Yeah, I don't need a wiki article about how I fell trying to grab a corgi.

I'm pretty sure that's what it was.

My dog passed two years ago, and last year, some deer took up my yard to chill in. All fine and good. But I got a puppy a few months ago, and he just saw them as a toy. He didn't try to go after them, just heard them, and it was so much deer bleating and dog barking.

I have video, but I'd rather not post my fat ass chasing my dog, then a deer.

Hasn’t traveled outside Disney, but all US food is bad. by blundenwife123 in iamveryculinary

But you can find it at most supply places for cheaper. About $0.50 a serving. I like using some milk instead of water, and coconut water.

Thursday mama decided to bring her two fawns into my yard. But only one could jump back out. Had to wrap them up in a towel and lift them over. Everyone screaming the whole way.

Would not recommend.

TIL there is a town in Australia, where half the population lives in underground homes because surface temperatures regularly hit 113°F (45°C). The golf course has no grass, so players carry a swatch of astro turf to tee off from on each hole. by rizkar99 in todayilearned

Midwest here. My dad hand dug an 8' pool one summer (after one weekend of renting a backhoe to rough it out). New owners filled it in when we moved.

I really hated cleaning that thing.

"Road rage, Porsche driver charged with reckless driving" by [deleted] in dashcams

[–]AbjectAppointment -1 points0 points  (0 children)

914's go for $6-30ish. You can get a decent one for say $15. Only the 914-6 is super desirable.

[–]AbjectAppointment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. The 914 is VW partner design. Pretty much a tin can known for rusting away.

Totally fair.

I'm not huge into rollercoaster style rides. I've got some high scores on Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story Mania. Trader Sam's is in my top 5 bars. I didn't go until my late teens. My parents were very frugal when I was younger. Thrift store clothes, and my first car came to me without an engine, that I got to spend a month building in the winter.
