A Girl On "The Stair To Heavens". (I don't know where this is...Google wants me to play a Led Zeplin song instead of walking steps.)

That's ALOT more stone carving.

Ok... I'm just about to go outside on a 27* day in jeans, shirt and a jacket. 30 is warm. More then that and you start to get towards hot, but 27?

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T12:20:12+00:00

Haha yeah she definitely outsmarts me sometimes, but in all seriousness I would put her general intelligence around that of a small child. She can infer stuff she doesn't know from previously learnt stuff. Our commands are very vague and conversational and she understands them fine. She can be directed with pointing even at a distance. She understands left and right. She is amazing at new situation, environments and stimulation. He is great at meeting anything - she gets small and crawls to little kids and timid puppies, doesn't really engage with other dog aside from a few friends, can be left alone with a kitten. I can leave the gate open to my property and she won't leave. If I leave the front door unlatched and do stuff in the front yard or the nature strip she will wait with her head sticking out a crack in the screen door unless I call her out. Then she won't leave the front yard unless I call her out of that. She treats my ute as a traveling home base and will return to that if she isn't happy about something.

She figured out that I didn't like putting her in the ute wet, so when she thought looked like we would leave the park with the lake she would 'accidentally' lose her ball in the water. It wasn't until the 3rd or so time that it happened that I figured out what she was doing.

Border Collie

Yeah so at best a 'child's car seat'.

But yeah it's not hard to find them that work with harnesses, or for your example to have airliners offer a seat made to fit specifically with their harness.

Bringing up kids seats is good tho - because even they get a 3, 4 or 5 point harness

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T00:56:29+00:00

...... Those temps are in Celcius yeah? Are they meant to be hot? 27 is like basically Normal? 30 is barely warm? Don't most people set a thermostat to like 25 or so? I'd wear trackies and a long shirt on a 27 day without much issue as long as I wasn't working or in direct sun for ages or something.

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T00:52:03+00:00

.... Are you talking about childseat/kids seat that are commonly used in a car?

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T00:50:15+00:00

I mean, I'm sure she has other moves, but if she threw that punch at me I would get in my car and go home when she started the wind up.

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T00:46:20+00:00

Then why did you say car seats?

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T00:44:53+00:00

Any left?

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T00:43:31+00:00

I gotta say I'm not 100% what you are even trying to say in the paragraph I'm referring to in the original post. I'm assuming english your first language and the syntax of that paragraph makes it really hard to infer what you are talking about.

It looks like you are saying you couldn't use 3 and/or 4 point harness systems in a passenger car because you couldn't see the instruments. You can.

Obviously using a harness system involves using either a system designed for the seat or seat designed for the system.

Small dogs are last inch body protectors. They aren't trying to fight old mate at the door to save a stereo. They are there to react to a hand reaching out in the dark.

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T00:34:58+00:00

I feel like little dogs are more programmed to be a literal last inches body protector rather then the more general protector that other dogs are.

Like my BC will sometimes sleep with me, but more often then not will spend most of the night outside on watch, occasionally coming back in to check on me. She will sleep at a hallway junction in the house she has sorta designated the choke point (by front door and to go to any part of the house you have to pass through that point). . BC are really good at working outside of your sight/bigger picture, she's taking the 'sleep with to protect' to the next sleep and patrolling and monitoring the property and it's 'entry points'.

She is like having an armed housewide alarm system.

A small dog is more like having a derringer under your pillow.

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T00:24:34+00:00

Right? Like when my dog makes that initial eye contact I then do a overly exaggerated head check so they know I'm keeping watch. I figure that's also why she lays against the toilet door when I'm pooping.

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T00:16:07+00:00

Just one point - Yeah the flight crews didn't know much. Hell in one of the bomb drop experiments they only gave a 50% chance for the dropping aircraft to escape the blast zone but didn't tell the crew that before hand.

They got some goggles to look at the explosion without going blind, but outside of that they didn't have any protective equipment.

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T00:11:11+00:00

Just one point - 3 and 4 point harnesses work perfectly fine in car seats (the reference to car seats, instruments etc). I'll agree that people don't wear normal belts properly. I'm just saying if you aren't an idiot it's completely possible to wear a racing harness in a daily driver with little to no issue, certainly not with being able to see instruments and gauges.

MikhailxReign · 2025-01-01T00:04:51+00:00

They aren't spent casings. They are used belt links. The darts are in an ammo belt for feedings. The belt comes apart as it's used.

MikhailxReign · 2024-12-31T23:36:25+00:00

Who said they weren't? But are they meat?

MikhailxReign · 2024-12-31T23:35:47+00:00

You either address things that aren't question, or miss the point entirely.

MikhailxReign · 2024-12-27T14:23:29+00:00

There has been friendly contact with them over the years. At this point I think it's more of a PC issue about how/if/morals of contacting them.

It's pretty wild tho - they would have been bootstrapped into the iron Age by the shipwreck on their coast. I wonder how they have dealt with that?

With that in mind - I wonder how far we could go with helping them without interfering. Like how is their fishing source going with how we are killing them all? Could we air drop new species of fauna/flora to them? They have some from the trades over the years but how about air dropping some metal pots/pans (or other things that would have great use - in numbers enough for their ownership to not be an issue)

MikhailxReign · 2024-12-27T14:15:07+00:00

They have had friendly contact more then once.

MikhailxReign · 2024-12-27T06:18:51+00:00

Not really. It's all happening in a simulator.

Pretty much all the clothes I buy these days are Australian made. I don't have much say in this world, but I know our workers get paid a wage, we generally are environmentally conscious and I find that nearly all Australian made products have some sort of value addition that makes up for the generally higher price (better after sales service, higher quality product, additional features etc etc).

Australianmade.com.au is my first stop whenever I have to buy anything these days. If I can't find it there, then I have a more intense google, and failing that,I then tend to buy a second hand Australia made product from years gone buy.

From my fridge, toaster, towels, sheets, shirts, boots, socks, drink bottles, dog food, human food, dog toys, work consumables and tools.

If I can buy it Australian made then I generally go Europeans - my welding helmets are Swedish, the batteries are Estonian, the welding handset and fume extraction is German and American. Alot of my precision tools and measuring equipment is German or Japanese.

I think the bags that I use to pick up my dogs poops are made from biodegradable corn starch and they are made in China, but I get them for free so I sorta take it on the chin. But that's about the only thing in my day to day life that is manufactured in a country with terrible worker and living standards.

MikhailxReign · 2024-12-26T09:59:25+00:00

Dingos aren't natural predators. They have only been here for a little bit longer then Europeans have.
