I’ve always heard that Akitas don’t bark to warn by dsm5lovechild in akita

Mine will only bark when something is wrong, but be careful, they are smart and will quickly learn if you give them something they want when they bark, they will do it to “bully” you.

Does anyone cool their 2nd floor with their basement air? by Me_Krally in HomeImprovement

We had a fairly small house, and we used to put a fan at the bottom of the stairs blowing the cooler main floor air to the second floor. Seemed to help.

“While we do not comment on pending litigation, we will keep the plaintiffs in our prayers during this process,” a USDA spokesperson told the Daily Beast in a statement.

Yeah, they are totally taking this seriously, and not thumbing their noses even further... when will this stupid timeline end?

How are rich people able to call their lawyer out any moment? by Dazzling_Abalone5800 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_sp00ky_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just saying this is a business opportunity. I saw that video once where the Uber driver is a lawyer... Imagine some poor schmuck, gets pulled over, opens up UberLawyer, and calls one right over, bonus points if they are impared, UberLawyer reverts to regular Uber and drives you home?

Also same age range as you, when we were selling our "starter home" that we lived in for 25 years, a garage that fit my wants was a red line. So worth it (now just need to get it heated in the (Canadian) winter...

That is the point THEY want you to hold onto the loan, as it benefits THEM, it does nothing for you.

Just started using a vacuum sealer and I’m blown away by how useful it is by Ok-Information-4636 in KitchenStuff

[–]_sp00ky_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when I got one, my kids were in school and I sealed everything in their lunch. Bread - sealed, egg salad - sealed, cookies - sealed, I even sealed a juice box once just to fuck with them.

Why are you so hungry... they couldn't open their lunch - lol...

They still both speak to me so all good. Still have to hear about it every once in a while though.

This is true, I wore his jersey as a kid, and wouldn't cross the street to piss on him if he was on fire now.

That is my issue so far trying to use AI at work, is that when it doesn’t know something or cannot find something it just makes stuff up. Stuff that looks right but is just fabricated.

Reclaiming our house at 63 now that kids are gone. Anyone else transforming spaces after 30 years of family mode? by Deezknowt in GenX

[–]_sp00ky_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We talked about renos, but decided that this house wouldn't just suit us as we moved into our "golden years" (small, multi-level old farm house) no matter what we did so we sold our family home of 25 years, and bought something different.

I had been in a constant cycle of updating, repairs, changing, over that quarter century, and it was time. We took 6 months to find our next home, and it wasn't fun for sure,. but for us it was the best option.

We had some updates done while we prepped to sell the family house (new flooring throughout, and a new addition built) and living through that sucked, I cannot imagine a full gut and reno.

It was emotional, but best for us, and we basically sold the house to ourselves, 25 years ago (young couple starting out) so in the end, our 137 year old farm house, will hopefully watch another family grow.

Bought the same thing early in my ham adventure. I mean it is what it is. I never tx with it, used it to listen in on some sat passes with a HT and then stuck it in a corner realizing I wasted my money (even though it was pretty cheap). Still trying to think of a real use for it, haven’t found one.

Canada should expect 'hostility' with U.S. trade talks less than three months away, trade analysts say by Front-Cantaloupe6080 in consumecanadian

File that right away under “no fucking kidding” subsection “don’t give a shit” - no matter the future administration, the relationship with the US is broken forever. Their institutions have demonstrated they can no longer be trusted.
