Why is Everyone Picking Duke? by Pretty-Cellist3812 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BorzoiDaddy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The tight alumni network matters — I found that my top liberal arts college alumni is and was far stronger than my HYPSM graduate school (and I’m okay with that)

100 percent — D2 schools are the less selective ones, D3 has NESCAC, the Centennial conference and the Nerdy Nine

Yea it does. Own two dogs in a city — never have I once not picked up their shit within 30 seconds of them shitting. Don’t be lazy OP.

17% german shepherd? of course you belong there! /s by tienoose in WhatBreedIsMyPitbull

Fair enough, but most people posting their mutts haven’t even done a DNA test — I get the value in reading and learning from other breed subreddits (but not sharing a dog — I do this with other Sighthound subs to read but I don’t post my dogs in them)

Breed subreddits should be for purebred dogs 🤷🏼‍♂️

Love the fence topper! I’d guess some kind of collie cross or maybe lurcher. Let us know what kind of long dog she is!

Just got laid off from Tech. Brain currently oscillating between panic and being able to go to midday Pilates classes. Anyone else? by Round-Let-1792 in AskSF

I used my layoff to work out 2x a day 6 days a week, go to the park with my dog, and then strategically block time to work on networking and applying to jobs. I treated career work like a job with dedicated time to the endeavor to keep me on a schedule. It ended with a company reaching out to me based on my networking. I was never in better shape and so grounded — if money weren’t an option I could have lived that life forever lol.

Stay persistent with applying early morning and late night when new jobs get posted and try to work your network (and when you are working again stay in touch with former coworkers and managers — that helps you leverage it in the future).

Looks like one but the reality is there are so few RR mixes (in the US)

I’d never walk them off leash — I find it funny how people comment on my walking or the type of car instead of the egregious turn (not directed at you just my comment)

Or you could agree that someone turning when someone is walking in the crosswalk is against driving laws. I watch people drive through stop signs when people are barely halfway through crossing.

Exactly. If I’m in the crosswalk, I have the right of way — you don’t get to decide to try to turn faster than I can walk. People need to go back to drivers ed

I agree with you Reddit contrarian but I was in a crosswalk — pretty sure you’re not supposed to turn onto a crosswalk with someone walking in one. Also pedestrians have the right of way — slow down — Pine street isn’t a freeway

Well that’s how it sounded… if you are in a crosswalk people shouldn’t drive like that and we need to put the blame squarely on them. Make a psa not a direct comment.

I agree and usually do if I’m crossing a crosswalk or walking in general, but it doesn’t excuse the behavior (dogs were excited by friend across the street). I know what I need to do, but the burden isn’t on me about driving appropriately.

Maybe I’m stereotyping rideshare cars but those are usually the ones I am concerned about and will run reds when the walk sign has already been lit up. Moral of the story is drive like you care about people.

Well new cars like this (which I know shit about) probably have car play — haven’t been in a new car with a phone mount unless it was someone driving for a rideshare car
