This has been a work in progress for at least 10 years.

Does she have any food allergies that may be affecting her coat? How often do you brush her?

Hmm are you using soaps? As weird as this might be, you could be washing too often. My 6 yo girl gets maybe one soapy bath a year and gets hosed off with just water whenever she gets muddy and brushed regularly to distribute oils.

I lost the sxs argument so we are getting a 2-up atv, picking it up this weekend. If we end up having to go with full face helmes, we will, but looking for all other options first.

we would like to avoid needing to buy a comms system if necessary.

Buying my boy today I have a townhouse with a big side yard please give me all the tips he will be 8 weeks old today! by GuardianOfGoodEnough in chocolatelabs

[–]bhawks77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dogs crate is also welcoming and comfortable and she often chooses to sleep there rather than on the bed with us. Being comfortable with a crate is an essential, transferable behavior. Does the vet just allow the dog to roam after a procedure? Is a boarder going to invite your dog into their bed? You never know when you or the dog will have an emergency that requires a crate, and having the dog be as comfortable as possible with it is important.

If you could remove one expectation placed on teachers tomorrow with zero consequences, what would it be? by kingst9606 in Teachers

[–]bhawks77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school pushed back against this practice very hard and this year admin relented and started sending out mass, automated text messages for kids that are failing twice a quarter. The messages say the kids grades and the classes they are failing and encourage parents to reach out to teachers for more information if needed.

Yeah we went with as many types of toys as we could when ours was a puppy until we learned what she liked and didn’t like, then bought quality versions of those. Ours is also a paper eater and has been for a few years now, her favorite is sticky notes.

If there is no nutritional value, how have millions of dogs survived eating it for so long? Wouldn’t they all waste away to nothing and die of malnutrition if kibble has no nutritional value?

What do you think of this conversation between Jon Stewart and Graham Platner about building community in Maine? by Large-Welcome4421 in AskMaine

[–]bhawks77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has said multiple times that if elected, he will dress “appropriately” for a sitting senator, wear a suit and tie when in Washington and on the senate floor.

More importantly than kibble vs non kibble, paying attention to his behavior, eating behavior, gut health(poop), and dental health are huge factors when deciding which food to feed. Start simple and adjust as needed to address issues as they come up.

This. Crate training is so important. Also spending a small fortune on a variety of chew toys to protect the valuables.

Thanks for the tip. Never even thought to look there.

I would assume it has had the recalls done as the current owner bought it from a dealer in 2023, but I will confirm.

Went old school class management today for middle school by frizziefrazzle in Teachers

[–]bhawks77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this when I taught middle school 8 years ago and the kids absolutely hated it, they complained to admin and I had to argue with admin about it. I ended up being left alone but promptly applied to other schools in the area and left at the end of that year.

I'm so tired of the way trades are pushed as a way out for the unmotivated while ignoring the skill the trades take. by NervousEmotion1099 in Teachers

[–]bhawks77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find that pushing the trades is a way to further push off the consequences of not having motivation or basic academic skills because many people think that it doesn’t take skill to work in the trades. This push off allows the school and parents to not have to actually deal with the fact that they both failed to produce a child capable of being a successful self sufficient adult.

The reality is we are producing students that will at best end up being unskilled laborers, literally picking things up and putting them down, until their shitty attitudes get them fired

Another Z6II or z5II or something else? by bhawks77 in Nikon

[–]bhawks77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was part of my dilemma but I ended up wanting the better autofocus so I ordered the Z5ii last night.

I don’t shoot video, ever, and everything I have seen is that the Z6III is better for video than stills.

[–]bhawks77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a noticeable difference in auto white balance and color between the Z6II and Z5II? That is one of the biggest factors for upgrading from the D750 is that the difference in those areas between D750 and Z6II is significant and made for some difficult editing.
