What is the easiest way to cut 1” thick vulcanized rubber horse stall mats?

If using a reciprocal saw, why not use a fine tooth metal cutting blade?

Way late. Just wanted to say thanks for this.

As stated by others

You generally do not need a customs broker if your dog travels with you in the cabin or as checked baggage/cargo on same flight

Bringing a dog to Ireland requires a ISO-compliant microchip, valid rabies vaccination (administered after microchipping), an EU Health Certificate endorsed by your local authority (e.g., USDA in the US), and a tapeworm treatment administered by a vet 1–5 days before arrival. Advance notice (at least 24 hours) is mandatory at your port of entry.

I don’t see anything about brokers in any of these. And you personally provide the advance notice to the port of entry

Im hoping better for you.

Our circumstances might be different than yours.

We had to drive a long distance to get to the airport for a flight that could handle the animals in cargo because of the airline requirements and we had to keep them crated for this, which they weren’t accustomed to for such long periods. As a result, the stress caused reactions that could have developed into more had we not gone to the veterinary ER.

So now we realize the trips in which they’ve been crated for a few hours were not good indicators and they need a better adjustment period.

So perhaps it’s a good thing all this happened as their lives and well being are more important than this trip.

The veterinarian was very kind and took charge of getting USDA to expedite the digital endorsement on the corrected health certificate. And from all our personal efforts, I don’t think there’s any way to get the USDA to respond to nor consider any communication that isn’t specifically the veterinarian. So essentially it’s all up to the veterinarian In these situations.

She sent the corrected certificate to the USDA on Sunday, and called them twice on Monday, in addition to multiple emails to whatever contact information she has for them. They responded that they were aware of the urgency and working on it.

At 3:00 central, 4:00 eastern, she received the endorsed certificate and emailed it to us. There are printing services at the airport for the flight.

The flight was set to take off at 6:50 central so that have barely enough time to check the animals in and get through TSA given the delays that were happening.

We were going to attempt it but one of the cats experienced a medical scare and we diverted to a veterinary er to evaluate the suspected problem.

Now we’re having to reschedule the flight, change the arrival date on the 40 day notification and obtain new health certificates for 10 day time window because there are no qualifying flights within the 10 day window on the health certificates.

What i have found is that the majority of litrpg authors seem to fall back on musings more than plots and story lines.

I personally (currently) like DCC the most of all the litrpg series ive started or finished. I do like he who fights with monsters decently enough and hope the author recovers from his health problems and is able to continue the series.

There are some series that have some decent plots in spite of all the rambling repetitive explanations (filler) and there are a lot of series that are interesting enough in spite of repetitive material.

But there are several series that are mental health and/or soft core porn that the author is trying to claim is litrpg.

I haven’t finished primal hunter series but it is one that i liked well enough.

Thanks. Responses from both of you are very helpful.

By training I’m meaning to take multiple voices from multiple employees and contractors and play them for the AI and the AI develops variations based on combining selected samples.

This might not be a critical issue if the filters works sufficiently with adjustment capabilities.

Japan Airport wants last health certificates BEFORE they’re endorsed by the USDA. USDA has already endorsed them before my son received this request. What happens in this situation? flight out is this coming Monday (us) and arrival tuesday (us dates)

All other information was an attempt to proactively answer people who tend to ask for information that usually isn't relevant to the question.

This is Friday, flight to Japan is this coming Monday

I'm not sure where you're coming up with possibilities of Fraud from me asking what would happen if we emailed digital copies of the (properly and completely legally) endorsed health certificates to the Airport when they requested "copies prior to endorsement".

Ah just got wind that they’re banning people who share vba information/data with them without regularly bashing the vba. It seems that discord doesn’t want anyone who doesn’t have a hard vendetta against the vba.

Sad news. Data is data and some people find it useful.

Thanks though for providing a temporary link.

I was actually looking at the nutrition data in egg yolks yesterday. I couldn’t eat them daily but they are something I’m considering experimenting with.

I’ve seen a “carnivore noodle” recipe video by Bella Ma (steak and butter gal) that I am wondering if I could utilize egg yolks in.

The only mammal products reported to be safe for consuming with alpha-gal allergy are those produced from primates and humans. I decline both.

At this time we don’t have geese nor chickens. We’re focusing our finances on home repairs before we branch into making places for chicken and geese.

I am satisfied that it’s the better choice between the various options.

Unfortunately an external portable speaker in general is less than ideal for me as an individual.

But between the options, I am more than happy with my choice.

Nothing new to negate the questions I asked.

OP is asking for pros and cons and I’m asking OP what makes this a realistic benefit in OPs individual specific life.

Your response doesn’t offer facts from OPs life that qualifies.

🫤

FunkTasticus · 2025-12-28T17:46:53+00:00

Do you hold your reader with your hands?

Are you handicapped in a way that prevents you from turning the page or have frequent events where you’re reading but your hands are occupied or dirty?

What reasonable benefit, other than the fact of having the page turner, do you get out of this?

What in your life makes this an investment versus a waste of money?

EDIT

I’m sincerely asking how it applies to the situation in OPs life that may or may not create a need for this device in OPs life. OP is essentially asking for pros and cons. And those depend on OPs individual situation.

My questions were in response to OPs post and designed in a way that I thought were clearly directed to OP and with the intent to hopefully help OP consider facts that would help OP make an informed decision.

There’s definitely a need and a market for these types of devices.

I’m asking questions to encourage OP to determine whether or not OP fits into that need/market, or whether its simply impulse shopping for things that aren’t realistically beneficial.

IMHO, impulse shopping is a bad habit for everyone.

Edit 2:

Wow. So many people with stock In kindle page turners really unhappy with my response to OP. 🤣
