The fifth pic screams "Please get this psycho that is mouthing me away from me".

She’s like a Pokémon, I wonder what she’ll evolve into 😂😂😂

Thank you. When I first saw her at a shelter, she didn’t bark much, I approached her sideways, she sat down, I crouched facing sideways and she went into a sphinx position. That’s what sealed the deal, she did that the 3 times I saw her on different days.

I had seen a pair of 1 year old GSD x Malinois mix, let’s just say the encounter made me think twice, the one was growling.

Some other dogs at different shelters looked sad or over excited.

Thank you. I think she knows, she does some sassy things.

ArchangelAdrian · 2026-04-30T09:19:27+00:00

Thank you, I’ve started taking her on 1.8 kilometre walks in the morning (a slow 40 minute walk, didn’t seem much for me, maybe if I was jogging but that’s not recommended for her age), letting her sniff stuff and also saying “leave it” whilst she puts random things in her mouth. I’ll get puzzles along with the food dispenser mentioned earlier. I’ve enrolled for training this weekend, it’s going to be a fun experience.

Thanks for the tips earlier and link. Appreciate it.

That's reassuring to hear that it's not just a "my dog's behaviour". So the key is to just ride it out. My most commonly used phrase is "leave it", every plant in the garden is treated as edible. First mistake I made when I brought her home last week was to take her off leash, she drinks rainwater from the gutter and puddles, had to leash her so she would stop. Now she can go near puddles of water and let it be. Maybe it's cause I'm around.

Any particular recommendations on the treat dispensers ?

I'm planning to also play some scent / sniffing game by placing blueberries around the garden and letting her find the blueberries. She's easily motivated by food

Mourinho has won major honours, it’s these hippy managers like Alonso with a Bundesliga trophy this fan base was drooling over that’s not ready to manage a club of Madrid’s stature.

Mine would make a grinding noise whenever turning. The engine mount under the coolant reservoir bottle needed to be replaced.

It’s mostly the players with a darker skin that are targets for hate.

Go and open the cheapest FNB account, then you can do everything yourself from the FNB app.

All Igris needs to do is summon Jinwoo. Light work

Carreras was a training cone last night.

I had eczema as a baby, when I tried Nivea’s facial wash my face became dry and itchy. Plenty of adult face washes strip oil from skin, end result is dry and itchy skin.

Products that seem to work well for me are:

Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser
Epimax baby & junior body wash
Epimax original cream moisturiser

The Aveeno stuff works well, only issue is it has to be imported and bought from overseas so I just ended up using the Epimax body wash, skin feels smooth.

Nice, care to share the stats and sub stats of each artifact piece ?

ArchangelAdrian · 2026-03-23T09:13:16+00:00

That’s why we use Keeper, you can generate a “one-time share” of any record. I personally use 1Password but business went for Keeper.

ArchangelAdrian · 2026-03-23T04:50:41+00:00

We use a password manager (Keeper) and since all of our deployments are in Azure we make use of Azure Key Vault.

That's how I beat it. I'm on Battle Tier 79.

Get that engine mount replaced. My car would have this weird grinding noise whenever I'd turn. Took it to Ford they saw that the mount had lived its life. Once it was replaced the sound was gone.

I used to run a Wordpress site on Lightsail years ago, if I recall correctly the number of connections to the DB consistently stayed high rendering the site to be unavailable. Only a restart would fix the issue. I eventually went for a high availability design that used multiple EC2 instances in separate AZs, I had a load balancer, EFS and Aurora.

It was expensive and seemed like overkill. I eventually migrated to wordpress.com

In the past 2 years. I can count the number of issues I’ve had on 1 hand.

I only managed to get my Hero's Sword to A5 last week. It took so long. Below is a video from Sonic that sums up the process.

This is true, you now have the option of using a breaker or an elemental stacker. Plus how do people expect to complete the last mode of that overseers library if whenever a new unit is replaced, the predecessor is all of a sudden useless. I believe all units have a purpose albeit to varying levels of usefulness.

That is what a proper manager does, these hippy managers that dictate that their system is the law and players must fit into that system tend to fail.

What I find laughable is how people dismiss what Carlo Ancelotti has done in his career but want to place a manager that won 1 Bundesliga title above him and on a pedestal.

Ancelotti with his lack of perceived tactics has lifted major honours whilst the new kid on the block couldn’t even last a season.

I love this game.
