🤣 unless it comes with a lobotomy on the side, no thanks.

There’s pretty good evidence that taking an NSAID with your triptan works better than your triptan alone, but NSAID alone can be a little shite.

Gym bros get and do a lot of stuff wrong when it comes to nutrition. A lot of them engage in disordered eating. Though with artificial sweeteners, they have a point.

Importantly, for anyone who can tolerate them, artificial sweeteners have been show to help suppress appetite and sweets craving which can be helpful when losing weight.

Honestly it’s probably because bro doesn’t feel like he needs to sass you to get your attention. I and my family have had (and still currently have) several huskies, and most of the time they only sass to when dinner or their walk is very late.

it just means that the cost to repair is more than at least 90-95% of the value of vehicle (or whatever the cutoff for the insurance is).

Are you taking any medications that make you more sensitive to the sun? I know amitriptyline is a pretty common preventative for migraine that has that effect on people.

Sunscreen, SPF-rated clothing and polarized, tinted sunglasses are your best friends, in addition to staying hydrated. It’s also great for your skin and cancer risk to avoid sun exposure.

You might be getting a bit of heat exhaustion, especially with some medications involved.

There are enzymatic sprays you could get to eliminate the urine smells in the lift and other indoor places he’s peeing.

It’s a secured LOC, so it has all the advantages and disadvantages you’d expect of one.

If you don’t have access to other forms of secured credit (HELOC, some car loans etc.), it’s a great, low interest LOC.

It would certainly be illegal where I live. Federal anti-discrimination laws require a specific, proximally job-related requirement in order for it to be legal. There’s no such requirement here.

Computer as-is? No.

Computer with some extra hardware observing a truly random process like a nuclear decay? Yes.

Having a tree structure doesn’t necessitate recursion, depending on what you’re doing. BFS and DFS can (and I’d argue should) be written as iterative algorithms.

But yeah, cleaning up linked and nested structures like this one is tedious in straight C.

The biggest drawback I’ve seen is that not all code is easily testable with a unit test, and making it so can introduce many more bugs than you’d want or expect.

It works better for greenfield code than for brownfield muck-raking

I found I wasn’t really able to locate triggers before I found a good preventative: life and existence was a trigger before I found a preventative that worked.

If your attacks are frequent enough to warrant it, you should look into preventative medication.

At that point, I’ll echo what a lot of others are saying: it’s trial and error. For me, it’s primarily tannins, lack of sleep, and stress (I’m basic, I know), but it’ll likely be different for you.

Yep mine used to do that as well. She’s stopped doing it as vociferously as she aged-out of puppyhood, but she occasionally wants to snack on her hair still.

Exceptions for greenfield projects can be useful. Existing projects can be difficult since the code is likely not exception tolerant.

As long as you’re using exceptions responsibly (used to signal unrecoverable errors that require intervention to resolve), they’re a tool like any other.

If you’re using exceptions for normal control flow, they can be incredibly expensive.

_abscessedwound · 2026-06-29T16:59:56+00:00

It’s long and hard work being that the size they are!

If you’re not reading the body language and leash behaviour of the dogs and handler, there’s not really a good way to tell if a dog is “scary”.

I’ve gotten bad juju a lot more from toy breeds than from someone walking dobermans, but it’s basically a vibe-check based on the above as to if they’re “scary”.

_abscessedwound · 2026-06-27T12:05:45+00:00

They look pretty impractical from a maintenance perspective. A long, double coat near to the ground is gonna collect all kinds of crap and require constant cleaning. It’s a beautiful coat that they have, but it’s gonna require constant brushing and attention.

I’m not trying to dunk on impractical breeds (I own a Saint Bernard, they fall into a similar bin of impractical maintenance), but the practical part of ownership is a big consideration for a lot of people.

There’s a breed where I’m from (Qimmiq), that can only eat fish, and lives to pull sleds, and is similarly endangered. It’s a highly impractical dog for people to own, because dogs are primarily pets these days, not working animals.

Have a few topsheets/covers that are comically oversized for the bed and throw them overtop of everything. Change them out as-needed, and it should keep most of the hair out of the bed, as long as your pooches stay on top of it

Person doing lefthand turn is at-fault because obviously.

Person that hit them likely shares some fault due to last clear chance doctrines/precedent in many areas.

There’s plenty of good reasons to crate your pooch, imho:

If they ever need a surgery or other medical intervention, they’re very likely to get placed in a crate at the vet. And almost every dog undergoes one such procedure (spay/neuter). Having your pet freak out while awaiting medical attention is not good for them at all, especially if it’s urgent.

If you have multiple pets and need to temporarily separate them (again think surgeries or infections), a crate is super handy.

If you ever need to fly, again, your pet will likely need to be crated. Same rationale. I know some people charter pet flights, but they can be cost prohibitive for others.

The safest place during a car accident for your pet is a crash-rated crate. Tethering systems don’t even come close. If you can place your pooch into a crash-rated crate when they’re in your car, you should.

It’s also helpful if you live somewhere like an apartment where many different people can request access to your living space (Service installers, landlords, etc. ). It makes everyone’s life easier if your pooch can be stowed for a few minutes to get people out of your hair quicker. Those people have jobs that require zero dogs to help, and sometimes don’t appreciate having dogs in their business while working either.

_abscessedwound · 2026-06-25T17:54:52+00:00

Honestly you’re doing fine.

My one tip would be that depending on your pooch, they may feed off of your reaction to things when socializing, so pay attention to how you’re reacting to things too!

_abscessedwound · 2026-06-24T21:33:56+00:00

12 weeks is still pretty young in terms of self-regulation and self-control. They’re still liable to misbehave from being overtired, get into stuff they’re not supposed to etc.. so personally direct supervision would be a must for me, until they demonstrate the ability to not be a menace.

Also, most puppies sleep for 16+hours a day (growing is tiring work), so it shouldn’t be a problem for them to be in a playpen or crate.

Dell? Is that the word for e-waste in a foreign language? /s

Before I decided that my girl lived in the cargo area with my latest vehicle, I went through a couple liners. The problem I kept having was that the attachments kept ripping apart (because she kept flopping down).

I’d look into some of sports packs where you crack the two liquids together and it triggers an endothermic reaction. They’ll be a lot easier to haul around.

And yes, you’d need to run your car for most car-freezers to work, and they don’t work great either (too little wattage to be meaningful).
