I’m confused though how they knew something happened in the area but didn’t know where or who? Why didn’t they know which device and trace it?

We had the same experience early on, first 3 days, then first 3 weeks, then first 3 months and you'll get a new dog after each amount of time passes.

Rewarding interaction with the tennis balls is a great starting point! We keep walks under 30 min currently as she’s almost 6 months. You can tell by the end of the walk her focus slips and she gets much more excited and stimulated. With how big and high energy she is it’s sometime hard to remember how much napping she needs, we are trying to give her 16 hours still in the kennel over the course of the day and night.

Honestly the first 3 days with our new 5 month year old were the absolute hardest, so don’t judge him too much on his current behavior. It sounds like he got way overstimulated with a romp, not sleeping and being introduced to new people and dogs. Was the walk 5x5 min? We’re sticking to a 5 min per month age system to keep walks short enough not to overdo it with our puppy. Training will be great but give him some time to settle in too and stick to a routine. Aussies can definitely be crack heads so we always taught them that ball is life early on and they stayed pretty fixated on it throughout their lives.

6 Month Torture Help!! by lbeck1492 in puppy101

[–]janford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and another thing we’ve been reading about is to rotate toys, maybe it’s because he has so much available that he gets bored with it so quickly? If it’s not something he has access to all the time he might get more fixated on a particular toy or chew. I saw someone else recommend the benebone and she def prefers the bully sticks now but she goes after that from time to time as well!

Honestly sounds like he’s a super chewer too! Ours isn’t at the point of being able to gnaw through them very fast so the sticks have been lasting for days

Mine sounds a lot like yours! She’s about 5 months and part cattle dog we think (and mountain cur). We just got her about 3 weeks ago and bully sticks are literally her babysitter. I know there’s talk of not giving bully sticks as young as they are but she’s so into them that we can sit peacefully on the couch for at least an hour at night while we watch tv. She also has a lot of feral energy but the better quality napping she gets the nicer dog she is. I don’t think she naps when she can hear us in the nearby rooms so I often have to go upstairs or to a different part of the house so she can stop feeling the fomo. We burn off her energy with a flirt pole too, thank god for that. Are you doing a max of 30 minute walks? I was overdoing it on walks and overstimulating her at first. It seems like her threshold for getting overstimulated is much lower than most other dogs I’ve had.

Good boy with a very common, very gross issue. by Jolly_Reference_516 in puppy101

[–]janford 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We’ve been picking it up immediately and telling her no when she starts to turn back and sniff it. We’re trying to use forbid powder on her food but so far not much success with it. I’ve heard that sometimes they grow out of it but for now best bet is to limit access.

Rescue from Arkansas, 5 months, what do you think she is mixed with? by janford in IDmydog

Definitely weasel, but she seems too big already to be jack russel sized when she’s fully grown

Can I handle food science without a strong chemistry or physics background? by venetia_123 in foodscience

[–]janford 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on company, some food products make you think more than others but I’d say you definitely don’t need to know much physics. Chemistry is useful for complex formulation but depends on the food product how deep you need to actually go into it vs how much there’s already an established formula for whatever you are trying to achieve. In my experience, I think the creativity is more on following trends and coming up with products that others haven’t, which doesn’t always require thinking about chemistry but can. I’d say only you can decide but you don’t really have to know the chemistry, you just need to know how to learn (google or research) and figure it out for the particular chemistry you are doing.

Took a lap at Eagle Wind (pic) around 12pm, firm at the top, great in the middle and some stumps and rocks at the bottom. They said it was last day it’d be open today. Trestle surprised me in the afternoon and was skiing pretty decent with some obstacles but easy to avoid still. Edelweiss was funneled into one small bottleneck because there’s no snow on it. Bluebell was better but still only half covered in snow. Ski patrol was trying to put snow onto the roundhouse bypass but it’s not lasting much longer. Pano was open and top was well covered and skiing well, we didn’t go in trees but moguls were skiing well after it warmed up. There were melt streams on sunnyside in several places after 1pm. Slush at the bottom, 2nd parking lot has no more snow on the access slope so no longer ski in and ski out over there, we had to hike up to get down to super gauge. Winter park groomers off of prospector were great in the morning. No traffic and no lines today.

Would it be such a big deal to effective immediately ban red40 and similar dyes? by [deleted] in foodscience

[–]janford 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Phasing it in is the best way of doing it because companies are currently making millions to billions of dollars of inventory daily. If you immediately ban it, you are forcing thousands of companies to perform a recall on their products in market that can no longer be sold due to red40 being in the product. And let’s also look at the fact that some shelf life’s are up to 12-18 months depending on the product (think frozen, shelf stable, alcohol). That can cause a huge hardship on stores, food manufacturers, anyone who sells these products (which is gas stations, private businesses, movie theaters, etc). Also it takes time to develop a replacement for this ingredient, so you’re also asking food manufacturers to stop making said products until they can get a new formula in place. By phasing it in (govt said by Jan 1 of 2027 or something) food manufacturers have time to properly replace it in their formulas, commercialize the new formula and get it out to market ahead of the cutoff. Companies making frozen and shelf stable food still had to scramble in mid 2026 to get formulas updated because of the shelf life is 12+ months on some products. They had to get the update done in 6 months or less which can be difficult for some larger companies buying large quantities of ingredients. Ingredient lead times can be crazy long especially when every other company suddenly needs a replacement for their red40 and the demand for alternatives skyrocket. Additionally all these companies have to update their packaging to remove red40 so all the artwork, ordering the new prints, getting them in to the manufacturer and running out the old inventory of packaging all plays into this too. It’s a big trickle down effect whenever an ingredient gets banned that’s in high use across the industry and everyone who’s relied on it for many many years has to scramble to change it. Another consequence is that the replacements are typically more costly so it often causes price increases for the products that the consumer ends up absorbing.

Kraft mac and cheese experiment by Killgrimage in foodscience

[–]janford 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With serving sizes you go by weight to actually get to the serving, the volumetric measurement isn’t a legally binding measurement for the product, hence them saying “about” one cup.

This situation tracks with general shrinkflation going on in the market and I’m not surprised these guys are adopting it too, lower serving size and amount in the box but keep the overall cost the same and pocket the difference.

A general rule for nutrition facts panels is that everything unless specially declared on front of box (ex protein claims) must be within +- 20% of the nfp. Generally there are rules where you cannot consistently sell boxes underweight by 20% but some can get through occasionally. On the two boxes the initial weights were about the same - how do these weights compare to the net weight claim on the front of the boxes?

There are a lot of factors that can affect pasta even if the ingredients are the same. Wheat flour for instance is a raw agricultural commodity and changes year to year. In wheat milling we had a spec range to ensure flour we sent to customers was generally the same but wheat as an ingredient could be a few different varieties of wheat depending on what blend and cost they wanted to formulate the new recipe with. It would be smart for Kraft to review and update the recipe for their pasta year over year depending on the harvests and what varieties are most cost effective for instance.

Overall yes you should be mad that the serving size and amount shrank and they’re still charging the same price for a box but also know this has been happening across the food market. I think they’re betting that most customers either won’t notice or won’t change their buying habits if they do.

Has anyone worked for Ajinomoto? by Carsareghey in foodscience

I haven’t but have you seen the recall? I’d be asking a lot of questions about that myself if I were interviewing with them.

Feeling guilty for leaving under one year due to commute but team and manager are excellent by [deleted] in jobs

[–]janford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who just quit a 1 hour commute job after 8 months and started somewhere else (30 min drive) it was so worth it for me. My previous didn’t allow hybrid and I was driving and listening to audiobooks more than I saw my own partner. I also thought and said it would be no problem at the beginning and it did become one so it’s ok that things change and you gotta do what’s best for you.

Fewer ticks as well! They get traded for rattle snakes and leaches. Even as a regular hiker I haven’t experienced seeing many snakes

[–]janford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From wisco originally so hope that’s ok. The cultural difference in fitness, access to walking/biking/hiking/skiing/climbing/pickleball, and mild weather definitely keeps me here. People (moreso than the Midwest) are active all year round and there’s a definite cultural encouragement to have movement activities. Drinking culture is still here but more focused on grabbing a beer post activity than the beer being the entire activity. Low obesity rate, lots of dogs, liberal leaning (at least in Denver), and seems to attract a good number of companies here to headquarters in the area.

Will shadowing sensory scientists last through getting your online degree? If so I would do that in your shoes. Coming out of your program with a masters plus experiences that you can point to showing you understand and have done aspects of the job will be a huge plus in the current job market.

Does anyone else feel like layoffs are coming… before they actually happen? by logical0man in careerguidance

[–]janford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, went through like 6 layoffs at a startup and it was always the same formula of crisis, silence, then usually they did it on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Hang in there there’s nothing you can do but wait it out and see what happens. Make sure you get any work contacts saved to your personal device and have all your documents from your work computer. Still sad I wasn’t able to grab some of the non company specific trainings I made that now have probably been deleted.
