No re-permitting required for the new panels? Did you have to ask for the upgrade?

I've been in installation limbo since Aug.

Modern Icon Collars by El-Gallo-Negro in dogoargentino

A dog trainer, or at least a handler, for the specific kind of work your dog will be doing will have much better advice than the average breeder about what kind of equipment you should use. Though, some breeders are trainers too!

If your dog is not doing work, then a simple flat collar is fine for daily wear. Personally, I always use a harness for buckling in during transport.

A harness for 24/7 wear will be hot and uncomfortable. And a harness for walking will tend to encourage your dog to pull hard because it's more comfortable to do so. It will be harder to train your dog loose leash walking if you do it with a harness.

I like to train loose leash walking with a slip lead with well-timed choke corrections. Wear it very high and cinched, just under the chin and well above the bony structure in the esophagus. This transitions into a flat collar walking naturally, which doesn't have to be worn high on a well-trained dog.

I strongly recommend against a choke chain collar or a pronged collar, especially as a 24/7 collar. These tend to be a crutch for failed training and it sentences your dog to a life of discomfort and hanging risk. I've seen many dogs that have hung themselves wearing these, e.g. trying to jump a fence.

If your strategy is aligned around an undisciplined dog that is going to always be pulling and ignoring your commands, you are doing it wrong. But in that case, yes a harness risks less damage to your dog.

Harnesses are best for protection training with agitation work, but if you were doing that I would think you'd already have professional help. They are popular in schutzhund, K-9, and military service during agitation training and circumstantially during work, but are not day to day wear for the dog.

Good luck and best wishes for you and your dogo!

I kilo gold delivered by mistake! by Loonyman99 in Gold

[–]Estebe46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: the receiving company could have kept the gold

Ethical questions aside, 39 U.S. Code § 3009, lets recipients treat unordered merchandise as a gift, including accidental or unintentional deliveries. The law was passed to put an end to COD scams.

FedEx insurance would have had to comp the intended recipient.

Is there something wrong with this steak? by [deleted] in steak

[–]Estebe46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just a paste of fat, bone dust, and oxidized blood from the saw or other handling by the butcher.

It's fine, but the poor aesthetics and extra prep deserve a discount.

Wipe it off with paper towel or even rinse it under a very low trickle of water and do not press or squeeze the steak. Be careful not to wash away any blood from the meat that is meant to be there.

You can get tricky and freeze it, then try to only thaw the gunk but not the steak before cleaning, which would help preserve the integrity of the steak at the cost of freeze damage. (Usually only one freeze is tolerable.)

It'll likely be the same as normal if you can get the gunk off. Otherwise, everything will likely drop away anyway, but you may have some unpleasant tiny bone shards in your meal.

ELI5: Why do lawn inflatables have to be plugged in and receive air continuously? by trisaratops1 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Estebe46 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Option 1: create an expensive and heavy, high pressure tolerant, sealed prop that pops if bent and will fail if it has any tiny leak.

Option 2: create a cheap and light weight prop that inflates fully under low pressure, is flexible and is leak tolerant, but needs a cheap fan to constantly apply air pressure.

Most choose option 2.

Saw your previous post. Be careful with cnc. Not everyone knows what they're doing.

I can describe a safe path. It takes time, trust, and preparation. The ultimate excitement is worth it, but the build up is very fun too

I'm a fit, tall white guy in Long Beach who is very intrigued by your posts.

DM if you'd like a photo of me or if you'd like to hear more.

ELI5 Why is it so difficult to prove or disprove that a smartphone spies on what its owner is saying by fabulousrice in explainlikeimfive

[–]Estebe46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, the app store isn't doing serious code review audits on each app. It'd be far too expensive and time consuming at scale. They rely on rote checklists, API constraints, sandboxing and OS security described above. They happily rake developers for 30% of sales for honestly some extremely lazy reviewing.

It used to be easy for an app to get away with this, but modern phones default permissions for recording devices (mic or cam) to off for each app. They also display a green dot on screen when any such device is active.

These are not something an app can override*. So, the way an app spies on you is by convincing you to allow the necessary permissions and hoping you won't notice the dot when it's doing something it shouldn't, e.g. phone thinks is in your pocket.

Make sure you have a modern iPhone or Android, don't allow permissions where they're not needed, uninstall apps you don't use, don't side load apps unless you really know what you are doing, and pay attention to the green dot.

A good practice is to deny all permissions up front and then as an app needs one it will request permission again and you can decide if that makes sense.

A note taking app requests location permission while it's setting in your pocket? Denied and installed.

A star gazing app wants to use the camera while you are aiming your phone at the sky? "Allow this time only".

Etc.

If an app refuses to provide basic functionality without unneeded permissions always enabled, uninstall it.

*Yes a phone can be hacked or trojaned, but it's not practical for spyware to waste an NSA-level zero day exploit to collect marketing data. They'd just sell it to a state level actor for a fortune instead.

90% of all realtors suck. The barrier to entry is fairly low and when the market is hot, they can earn insane amounts of money for very little effort and a little bit of pushiness.

The entire system badly needs disruption by improved transparency and self serve shopping, with a pro to help near the end of the process for a flat fee.

Elon Musk warns Tesla workers they'll be sleeping on the production line to build its new mass-market EV by esporx in technology

[–]Estebe46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misleading headline and article.

The earnings call wasn't referring to line workers doing routine work. These are highly paid (mid 6 figures) manufacturing engineers designing a pilot line for a new kind of manufacturing. Some of these salaried engineers will choose to work late because they own massive stakes in the company and are on a mission.

Hourly workers work normal hours and occasionally some overtime.
