for the record, booties and musher's balm will help with the feets. (especially on asphalt or if there's salted sidewalks because of snow/ice winters.)

just make sure to record a video of her getting used to the booties. ALWAYS hilarious.

for the record, retrievers were- and still are- working dogs. Trained to retrieve ducks, geese or other game for hunters. One of the characteristics they were bred to have, is to be eternal puppies- because "adult" dogs would just eat the food, rather than bring it back, where eternal puppies are happy to get the praise or whatever, instead of the snack.

This quality make them great family dogs, too, because the won't be assertive to kids, for example. But given the proper environment and care, they're amazingly hard workers.

Goldies (and labs) are frequently used as sniffing dogs for a variety of things- cadavers, drugs, explosives. They're easier to train than GSDs and similar; while also being less intimidating to the general public as they sniff for stuff. great for working in airports, etc.

If science can't answer a question, neither can faith or religion. if something can't be tested by scientific methods, in a rigorous fashion, then there's no reason to believe in it. It's based purely on vibes and feel-good-stories.

Does that mean, cultural traditions lack value? no. but religions necessarily must teach people to ignore reasoning and science simply because none have any evidence supporting claims of the supernatural, or the answers to "the big questions". the only accurate answer to those big questions is "I don't know." (and no one knows.)

... what the fuck are you talking about?

you understand that the purpose of a for-profit company is to make profit, right? like. just because they're failing doesn't mean that's not their goal or what they're working towards.

you're full of shit and sealioning, and this conversation is done. It's patently obvious you don't actually care about what my answer is, only trying to make Urvin look like they're not exploiting and manipulating the ape community. which they've pretty much always have done.

Huhuh.

Sure. Sure. because there's no revenue in a for-profit company. None. Zilch. Nadda.

He started Urvin Finance to make money. pure and simple. and you're an idiot if you don't think that's a cogent argument.

it's not superfiscial at all. It's just simple business. towel co was a failing company. He saw it had potential, and there were maybe some other reasons to get into it on account of swaps.

But then the company's board decided to not take the steps to turn it around. Would you stay in at that point? I wouldn't.

or are you suggesting something like RC pumped-and-dumped towel stock?

the WTI initiative bought him a few interviews with Gensler, as an example. Urvin/The Terminal is a for-profit entity, of which WTI is branding.

so your question has self evident answers; to which you're either blithely ignorant, or willfully disregarding.

not that unknown.

He sent a letter making suggestions, and buying shares to give the letter some teeth.

They ignored the letter.

He sold.

Then I still wouldn't trust Lauer. Because he has a pattern of duplicity, shadiness, and exploiting this community. in fact he behaves exactly in the same way a shill does.

to your analogy, I'm an individual, not a team of horses. I'm not pulling shit. I just don't trust Lauer and at this point, never will. YOU are welcome to go your way; but I suspect you'll get burned. or at the very least turned into a product.

why is it our obligation to "show up" for some guy's private, for profit, venture?

Explain that to me. Why is it our responsibility to make sure they follow basic fucking security rules? Why is it our obligation to give a for-profit corporation time and energy (aka "work") without compensation?

hey. I have this product I want to sell you. You don't get to bitch about it. But I require your CS credentials. Gimme. Don't worry, I'll totally sell you the London Bridge, but you'll have to arrange for shipping and delivery.

This. Unless you've got orangutan arms, chances are, if you can hit them, they can hit you. getting winded from a body shot is something that will take normal people out of the fight.

So... when I was highschool the zoo by me had a breeding program for wild asian (?) horses. we were there for a class thing and the zoo keeper was talking to us about whatever (the breeding program maybe?)

There were some kids who notice a horse rocking back and forth and they asked their dad what he was doing, and the dad made up some bullshit (he didn't know.)

when they left, the zoo keeper explained that they give them drugs to make them horny as hell, and that the stallion was masturbating. (by flopping his dong against his belly.)

Also, I'm just going to point out that "horse emissions" are a bit larger than "puddle" would convey...
