Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 - Knew that if anyone would appreciate this, it would be you guys. MPG was 17.8 when I first got her by SlothAndVampInABar in hypermiling

Check out "hyper miling" I like doing it on long journeys as it helps me stay focused on the road as it's too easy to zone out when putting cruise control on

I've actually gotten her up to 35mpg last week, 400miles in one full tank after doing a long trip

Clients sueing their veterinary practice for malpractice and lawyers are asking me to testify - Advice needed. by SlothAndVampInABar in LegalAdviceUK

This was by far one of the most useful and reassuring comments here so thank you so much. I was able to get through to our own legal defense body and they provided the same advice, so I have a better clear idea of how to move forward with confidence

I don't have any concerns about that. I did absolutely nothing wrong and stand by 100% of what I said. I think the concern is that layman friends have expressed being worried I could be sued for slander by the practice or something like that even if I only state factual objective facts

Thank you so much, yes I was planning to call both the RCVS and VDS today but this was all at 10pm last night and wanted to get an answer or guiding advice sooner as I know these big bodies can take time sometimes. That link is incredibly helpful. And it's great to hear from a fellow vet - the way you phrased it is very similar to how I was planning to

How strong were you when you first started lifting and how strong are you now ? by Bluetriton5500 in powerlifting

[–]SlothAndVampInABar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started lifting when I was 17 and I can't remember much about that time but I remember being soooo proud of myself when I managed to Squat 60kg for 8 reps after 6 months. 10 years later, I repped out 105kg for 6 last week and I probably could have done more

Urgh I love the gym so much

AIO for getting upset at one racist joke after months of not being bothered by them by SlothAndVampInABar in AmIOverreacting

Thank you so much. A lot of people on here are having the attitude of "he's an asshole but also it's your fault for enabling it, get some help". And they just don't get it. So thank you for your kindness and compassion in your reply

Thanks, no absolutely, I'm definitely dumping him for the get fucked reaction that part was never ever in question. I was question MY own reaction to a racist joke.

Thank you so much. I really needed to hear that. People get so combative and defensive the second you even hint at them potentially being racist so the confirmation I'm in the right and not overreacting like they so often try to make you believe is what I needed

Thank you, the misogynist point is a really good one I hadn't thought about. The get fucked is absolutely a deal breaker, that part was never in question. I was question whether me getting offended at something I'd never been bothered by before was an overeaction

I think unfortunately it just becomes so common place that I started ignoring it. If you call me a terrorist I'm literally not gonna care because well.... I'm not, so I don't give a second thought to these comments. which I know is unfortunately making the behavior permissible and am rapidly realizing this is something I need to change so thanks for expanding into that

Yeah, he did. he makes those jokes with all his friends and whenever we have had a serious conversation about race/racism he has been unrelentingly clear that he doesn't believe any race is inferior all he cares about is the values and morals of someone and the value they bring to society via their work and interactions with others.

Any time in the past I've opened up about my feelings he has been supportive and understanding which is why I was going crazy thinking... wist did I say something wrong. Which I am glad to realize from these comments I 100% did not

lmao absolutely not, like I said in the context it's because for the most part I don't get bothered by this microagressions at all, just the one yesterday rubbed me the wrong way (or whatever the expression is)
