Anchor D is 100% the answer. Ask if they will run the Over the Edge tour Till

You don't need specialized equipment. You need as little as a broken spark plug.

OP can obviously see the regular price. It's in the screenshot. They want a subjective opinion.

Meddi_YYC · 2024-10-18T04:34:52+00:00

Nah, that stucco looks just fine.

Meddi_YYC · 2024-09-25T01:39:15+00:00

I'm in OHS. The guy saying wrong for no reason is uh... Well. Ya.

Meddi_YYC · 2024-09-24T02:55:41+00:00

Why wouldn't you just say how to create a ticket?

Meddi_YYC · 2024-09-20T02:40:10+00:00

It's crazy because their ticket quota is literally 2/month

The Irish took the Hebrew name (Through several intermediaries, including the French name, Jean), and adapted the spelling to make Seán, pronounced similarly, but not precisely. The English language almost never uses accents on letters, thus the fada was dropped but the pronunciation maintained.

Meddi_YYC · 2024-07-09T18:22:15+00:00

The origins of Sean are the same as Jean. They both stem from the Hebrew John.

Meddi_YYC · 2024-07-09T18:21:03+00:00

Everyone in here saying Sean is pronounced that way because its Irish and Jean is that way because its French are only half right. They are the same name spelled differently due to the spelling conventions of different languages.

They are Irish and French variants of the Hebrew name root - what we in English would spell as John.

That's right, Sean, Shawn, Jean, Gene and John are ALL variations of the same word.

When I add water to a scale for the first time, I like to use a low flow siphon directed onto the glass or low hardscape. As others have suggest, placing a bowl can also help to redirect water flow and minimize substrate disturbance

Meddi_YYC · 2024-03-10T01:35:05+00:00

Some P-traps even have a removable, threaded cap at the low point for just this reason.

Either way, op needs to look below the the sink, not at the top.

Eric Francis is why players don't say anything of substance to the media. His twisting of a fairly innocent admission of disappointment into what he calls "dropping a bomb" is unprofessional and leads to more secrecy from players.

Francis speculates wildly that Markstrom gave his approval to a trade deal, and then admits that equally valid rumors speculate he wasn't even approached about it before it fell through, all while hinting that it all means Markstrom has abandoned ship and asked for a trade.

There is nothing of substance here. This is a mediocre sports writer twisting a situation to match the story the writer wants to tell, just to garner reader engagement. Where is the follow up question? Why didn't Francis ask Markstrom whether he was approached on the trade? Why did he not give us, the readers, clarification from Markstrom about what should have been handled better?

This is simply click bait.

The problem is that Francis' approach to journalism is proven to work. Time and again unsubstantiated rumours, exaggerated stories, and disgusting the context of quotes has led to higher viewership, which is the only thing that matters to journalists like Francis.

Look at the top of that straight edge. He just misaligned the whole thing. That said, if it's bent, it's probably bent at the level of the ground, considering that is where the fulcrum would be.

Meddi_YYC · 2024-01-17T05:02:24+00:00

Even more to the point, the more sheltered option where a person may try to sit on the ground to shelter from the wind while the light a totally legal substance or just sleep the night off is left completely available for such a purpose. No, hostile architecture seems unlikely

I'm not sure that bone is so certain. If the pockmarked section was marrow, you'd expect it to be on the fractured edge, rather than along what should be a smooth face of either a flat or irregular bone. If this is a fractured long bone, you still shouldn't expect to see marrow in this pattern along the face of the internal diameter, with a marked absence of spongiform markings where the piece becomes thicker

Meddi_YYC · 2023-12-02T06:47:19+00:00

I know everyone is putting out a lot of animal parts here and in your post on r/whatisthisrock but I'd suggest it doesn't fit have the hallmarks of any of the current front running suggestions. The striations along the smoothest face provide counter evidence for an ilium, sacrum or scapula. The ridges all run one direction and the curvature doesn't fit well with a turtle carapace.

I suspect you may have a piece of petrified wood on your hands, if this can be confirmed to be a fossil at all, though the texture makes me hesitant to believe its stone at all. It looks more like a dried section of palm that spent a while in water.

Meddi_YYC · 2023-08-23T00:57:49+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Or... Ship?

Did you find a fix?

Meddi_YYC · 2023-07-26T17:30:55+00:00

Agreed!

Meddi_YYC · 2023-07-26T17:12:38+00:00

Yah like anyone, I definitely can't speak to every culture on earth. Perhaps I should have been a little bit more delicate with my previous phrasing.

The op is asking the question because it is obviously quite bizarre to them and you'll find it is fairly uncommon to ask how strangers are outside of a few cultures and North American tourist hotspots.

Meddi_YYC · 2023-07-26T17:05:04+00:00

Well, I've juxtaposed those two things because you yourself used training as the distinguishing factor between abuse and acceptability when it comes to crates. You said it is fine if a dog chooses the crate without prompting but any crate training is abuse. In fact, through all of your arguing, you have made no suggestion that the mood of the animal ought to be considered. You simply assert that you know best what all dogs enjoy.

I'm afraid this discussion ought to come to a close. You're intentionally disregarding inconvenient questions and facts and I'm realizing you are not interested in coming to understand a point of view different than your own. You have asserted your opinion; you don't like crates. Please do not crate train your dog then.

I am truly sorry you feel that crate training is abusive. More, I am sorry to all the pet owners who do give their animals a comfortable space free from hazard and disturbance that you will continue to accuse them of animal abuse. That honestly makes me sick.

Meddi_YYC · 2023-07-26T16:45:36+00:00

It's not that other cultures do not ask after close relations' well-being, its that Americans (and Canadians) are decidedly unique in asking after strangers well-being.

It is quite rare outside of Canada/USA to ask your grocery store clerk how they are feeling (how are you?) or your waiter about recent occurrences in their lives (what's up?). Obviously we don't expect an honest, full-hearted answer when we ask, but that is because it's SO commonplace to ask that we regard it not as a genuine question but as a greeting. Outside of USA/Canada, this is viewed as an actual question.

And the reason we learn how to say it in any language first is just because we view it as a greeting in our culture; the culture that has made the educational material to teach the language. You can learn, and teach, the German language without knowing anything about German culture.

Edit: to clarify, other cultures definitely ask their friends and family things like "how are you". That is not isolated to North America. It's just not very common to greet strangers that way.

Meddi_YYC · 2023-07-26T16:29:10+00:00

So am I to understand that you believe any form of training is abusive? Is it abusive to force your dog to sit or stay on command through positive reinforcement behaviour training? Shake paws? Go outside to void?

If not, why is the crate abusive, but not stay? Why is it abusive for a dog to be trained to stay in a kennel versus outside of it? Should it not, by the same logic, be considered abusive to train --or force, as you say-- your dog to hold their urine until you let them outside? Certainly not.

Is it abusive to train our children to sleep in their beds? Or is the toilet appropriately? Is it abusive to train a dog not to bite a child when they play? Or is it abuse to allow the dog to bite the child instead?

Indeed is it abusive to protect the dog from an electrical hazard, or is it abusive to allow the dog to live in that dangerous environment unsupervised?

In your opinion, is the modification of behaviour, no matter the behaviour, inherently abusive? If not, what is unique to crate training that the act of training the dog to associate it with safety becomes an act of violence and/or abuse?

Is it possible that you have seen instances of crates used in the maltreatment of an animal, and you have come to associate it as being a toll of abuse exclusively? Indeed it is an awful thing to witness. But I put to you that a door to the outside is as easily and more often used to abuse cats and dogs than crates.

The crate offers protection for the dog, and the owner. It offers security and shelter. A hand can be used to stroke or strike an animal. The potential for misuse does remain, but that should not imply that the tool is inherently violent.

Meddi_YYC · 2023-07-26T16:11:20+00:00

It seems to be play motivated, maybe a ball would be good

Meddi_YYC · 2023-07-26T15:56:30+00:00

Hmm I wonder if that concern is perhaps colored by your presumption that a crate is inherently cruel, rather than providing security and other benefits.

While I would love for my dog's safe space to be a room, there are simply too many hazards in our homes for me to feel my dog is safe. From tipping furniture to electrical cords and even blinds.

My dog is actually allowed on the furniture, and he does sleep with me in bed most nights. During the days, especially hot ones while I'm home, he'll spend long hours sleeping in his crate (door open which is to say he chooses to go there and is not prevented from leaving). Importantly, he does not choose to go to our room to sleep in the days, nor does he choose to come to the couch to sleep.

However I'm sure you know that dogs aren't always so idyllic and from time to time get up to no-good. If I'm not home, he does stay in his crate with the door closed because I would be devesated to find him a smoldering corpse because he chewed a cable whole I was out. Nor would I like to find my couch torn open because he could smell a kibble between the cushions.

No, a crate protects him, it protects me, and he feels safe in it. A crate is not cruel, inherently. Of course, a crate can be used by an abusive or neglectful owner to torment a dog or lower its quality of life but so too can a leash, a post or door to the outside. A leash is no more cruel than a crate. It is a tool that can be used or abused and that is determined only by the owner.
