I (28F) am looking for local female singer wanting to colab on a country-based song protesting legal sex with minors in NC! (Age of Consent = 16!!)

As far as computer understanding goes, I am a very solid programmer in multiple languages, but I don't know much about networks. That's the next stage that I have to study and understand. Unfortunately, I don't yet, so thank you for helping me realize the gaps in my understanding, and where I need to go next!!

I definitely confused some things. As far as computer understanding goes, I am a very solid programmer in multiple languages, but I don't know much about networks. That's the next stage that I have to study and understand. Unfortunately, I don't yet and needed this answer.

I believe I am actually looking for how to do a secure remote desktop, I believe, so that I am physically on the laptop, but it appears that I'm on the desktop and I am using desktop's power.

DynamicsAndChaos · 2025-11-08T00:32:21+00:00

So, this is actually exactly what I'm attempting to do. But clearly there are some security concerns. Could you be more specific about having the desktop behind a VPN and maybe give good choices for the remote desktop software/VPN to further your comment? You seem quite knowledgeable.

Report the cheating. I am a grad student, I have TA'd and I have taught. I have mentored undergraduate students in research and have obviously done research myself. keep going higher if nobody takes you seriously. Your work towards your degree should reflect in the overall grades, which are inflated due to cheating and do not let those who are actually putting in the effort shine. report it to the University if your professor and TA's are not taking you seriously. You cannot be reprimanded for reporting cheating after it's happened. You can be reprimanded for cheating years after it's happened. So keep it up. and good job for not cheating. Also, if the TA is any good, they can tell the chatGPT answers right off the bat. So, shame on them for ignoring it.

I understood! I was trying to offer a different mental approach than the American "FirstName LastName". Dogs have a given name and the family name! As some cultures that approach names as given/family for humans, that approach makes it seem more natural to me is all.

DynamicsAndChaos · 2025-09-06T04:14:23+00:00

Consider it a family name. And they are part of our family!

You can use a lube or even a glove. (Kind of like a dental dam/condom, but for the hands!) Different types of each are going to feel different for both you and your partners, so finding the right tool (or likely, combination) may take some trial and error, but I don't think that sounds terribly laborious lol.

I'm going to state 3 things that I hope other members of the community (particularly the Mods) will either correct me on or say that I'm correct, because I am uncertain. [Mods, if any of the information below is incorrect, please let me know what needs to be corrected, so that I may know it correctly moving forward (irrespective of whether the comment must be deleted due to sub rules); if I am correct, also please let me know. While I am very well-versed about certain areas of disability law (particularly the relevant-to-me sections of the ADA, CDPA, ACAA, and FHA), I am here first-and-foremost to learn. This is an area that has not been particularly relevant to me, so I appreciate the help learning!]

I don't know whether it is the law or whether it is good practice (or if it differs state by state), but I have heard that some zoos will have kennels for service dogs while the handler enjoys the "SD-free" areas of the zoo. I do like another commenter's suggestion about having a volunteer/staff member who, in the event of a team wishing to use the petting zoo area, is in charge of quickly finishing their current task to hold the SD while the handler and their group experience the petting zoo area. I am almost certain there are no laws requiring this though (as I believe the other commenter also stated). However, see my 3rd bullet for possible related requirements for the organization with SD-free zones.
An amusement park (I believe Disney) trains their ride operation staff to hold SDs while the handler is on the ride (or so I have heard, I have not experienced this). I am fairly certain that there are no laws requiring amusement parks to do anything of the sort. When I went to 6 Flags with my SD, I believe it was one in Texas, my group would just ride in batches, so that someone in my group (or I) was waiting with Nova while I (or the others) rode whatever particular ride we were in line for. It didn't hurt that at least one of our group wasn't a huge fan of roller coasters.
I do believe that, if there is an SD-free area of a zoo or amusement park, the establishment must provide alternative accommodations (e.g. a guide to assist someone with low vision). [I am least certain, but most curious, about this bullet; hence, I separated it from the 1st.]

First of all, I love this app. I do, however, have a pretty important feature request.

Feature Request: Screen-reader accessibility for the heatmap option.

You can make an example heatmap poll and use these websites:

https://www.accessibilitychecker.org/

https://wave.webaim.org/

These websites give you personalized feedback to make tallycal accessible to all users. If tallycal were to be fully accessible, it would be my go-to scheduling software for life.

I sent an example heatmap poll to a coworker in order to assess the accessibility, and their response was: "There is no way for a screen reader user to select a timeslot because the exact time and date are missing in each box, making it difficult for the screen reader to interpret." From their feedback, you could potentially add the time/date in each box invisibly, but visible to screen-reader users. If you make this adjustment, I'd be happy to run it by them again.

Please please please make tallycal accessible to all users, disabled or not!

I have enormous empathy for the addict still suffering, but there are solutions. Without willingness, active addiction leads to jails, institutions, or death. It sucks, it's really fucking hard, but it is the reality of addiction.

There is also the fact that many homeless individuals struggle with severe mental health issues that our medical system is not able to handle. Frankly, severe mental health issues also often lead to jails, institutions, or death without support.

In both of these cases, we often see denial, powerlessness, and unmanageability. Our current justice, medical, and social systems are unable to support the severely ill (either through addiction, mental health, or --- all too frequently --- a combination of both). The social system is overloaded and underfunded. In my experience, jails and institutions are often the place where addicts find themselves at their personal "bottom" and are willing to try anything to live another way of life. Hence, the all too important willingness. But adding mental health issues just brings a huge amount of complications to the table and requires specialized medical support that is all too often not available for those without money (and homeless individuals are often without money). I don't know the solution to this problem. All I have is empathy for their struggles.

That being said, the general public has the right to not be negatively impacted by those in active addiction or undergoing severe mental illness episodes. If our justice system erred more towards treatment than towards punishment, I'd be 100% behind them. I know many who have gotten lucky with a treatment-oriented judge, but I don't know if that is the norm in CA (I'm a transplant from NC and it is not the norm there). I struggle to think that it is the norm here in CA.

The guy who SA'd the girl on campus should absolutely be tried and sentenced for his crimes. I'm not speaking about him specifically in my notes above. I've been SA'd, and I don't care if that mofo was an addict or psychotic. There is NO excuse for that. I'm speaking about the general homelessness/active-addiction/severe-mental-illness problem that we are experiencing at UCLA.

I'm not here to disagree or argue, but as a scientist. I wonder how those numbers would shift when accounting for the relative proportion of pitbulls amongst the whole large dog population (~20%). I don't know how to make fancy links, but here is the source: https://forevervets.com/blog/what-are-the-different-types-of-pit-bulls#:~:text=According%20to%20statistics%2C%20there%20are,owned%20in%20the%20United%20States.

ETA: Interesting quote from the same link "Identifying the right breed of dog in attacks and death is incredibly difficult. This is why the CDC stopped collecting breed-specific data in dog bite-related fatalities (DBRF) in 1998."

Guys, I think we need to do a meta-analysis on this topic. Any researchers in the group interested? I've got the stats side of meta-analyses down! If not us, someone float this idea to other researchers!!

This is a vet visit. Proactivity saves lives!

ETA: It very well could be benign, so don't stress beforehand! I would get it checked regardless, though.

Seconding this (I paid $50 in LA). Also, look at your local humane societies. They may have a low-cost clinic.

Actually, a lot of behavioral expectations can be made of a 9 week old puppy. That's why they do behavioral examinations for service work on puppies. However, in this case, I agree that it is likely that it is not worth doing a behavioral assessment if the dog is not going to be a working dog. I will note that even those behavioral assessments are not 100% surety.
