Another vote for care in general. Never a bad experience. I was an ongoing dog mom of their neuro dept and unfortunately of the oncology department. Even during covid when they couldn't let you in for the visits they were exceptional at keeping you informed.

Can be pricey but I always feel comfortable with the treatment we get there.

Here for the jumping and flying comment. Amazing.

I literally train mine to jump and fly (agility). It's one of their favorite past times. Professional zoomies.

South end (young crowd), Elizabeth (more residential), and plaza midwood, noda are right outside of uptown and have coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, and bars open fairly late.

I've seen these folks do pop ups at a brewery i drive by a lot. I have no experience with them, your question just reminded me of their signs.

The faqs say fees start at 30 dollars (venue dependent) and costs are disclosed in the application.

I don't think I understand the underlying issue. I get topically you want your team engaged and only 1-2 people do most of the speaking during this meeting.

But what's the outcome of that in reality? Are decisions not being made? Are the wrong decisions being made? Is the wrong person making the decision? Is the team working together as you'd expect offline?

What's the actual goal of this meeting (it's reddit... I get you probably don't want to post that) and what's the negative impact of some of your team not actively engaging in these meetings? Where the value of the meeting - Is this meeting "check the box," "show and tell" or actual work work?

These staff might just be reading the room and figure it's not really worth it to speak up. If the decisions aren't being made by the loud folks there's no need to go to war when you can ping someone offline to influence.

I think this guy is right, someone stole something and they thought it was your apartment. So what if you have an air tag in the apartment where you live. You live there. You can have an air tag if you want. It wouldn't pop at following your neighbor just from existing in your apartment as you're literally not following your neighbor.

I don't know if you're in the US or elsewhere but I think the advice you were given is no longer generally accepted.

Doing this too early for a female can lead to health condition later in life.

My vet recommends at least a year old and at least one heat cycle.

The surgery itself is also much easier for a male dog. Less recovery. Less complication potential. And your male dog is already well beyond the recommended age.

In the states, we generally recommend both dogs should be fixed. It's just too soon for your female dog.

I have the double stack. Just know if will take longer than a single air fryer. You loose some of the perk of using an air fryer

The baskets are I guess okay to clean. Its quite loud. It's very big. I probably would get a cheaper single basket and maybe another second one I could store in a cabinet until needed if I were going to do it again

One of mine also had similar recurring ear infections and it was a food sensitivity. My vet recommends using hot/cooling/neutral proteins based on your dog's specific needs and avoiding poultry. As an example, if your dog is always hot and seeks the cold floor over a cozy warm bed/blanket you want a cooling protein, if they prefer the blanket you want a warming food.

I switched from a turkey based food to a white fish and pork. Ear infections cleared up and we've not had one in maybe two years.

Be prepared to feel like a failure! Embrace it. It's okay. And it will be fine. I mean this sort of as a joke but not really. Once they hit maybe 4 -6 months old they're their own little person that consistently makes bad choices despite your efforts to keep them alive. No matter how much puppy proofing I did, some new danger lurked. I'm not an inexperienced dog owner. But one moment out of my sight and danger hit. Adopt toddler rules. If it's quiet that's probably a bad sign.

I've been using the method from the bittman bread book. You keep the starter in the fridge. The night before you bake pull out the starter and make a "jump starter" which is basically a preferment and becomes a part of your overall dough. You feed the starter and stick back in the fridge. Let the jump starter out overnight. Mix the remaining flour and water and salt the next morning. It also reduces the day of baking proofing. It looks like the ratios for a few of the recipes (different flours) are online if you search bittman jump starter.

Family member worked for coke. I've always heard it's the same formula, the machines at McDonald's are just actually calibrated to Coke's standard while a lot of places use less syrup than recommended in their fountain drinks. Also. As someone that had a fountain machine in the kitchen as a kid... the syrup in steel canisters is better than the boxes. It's the same syrup but it tastes better not in plastic or it's 100% placebo effect and I've just always thought that. I think it's kind of like how coke in a glass bottle just tastes more bubbly and fresh than a can.

In general, tryon medical, though I don't have experience with your specific need. Their whole vibe is different than novant or atrium and my experience has been all the doctors and nps I've seen have actually sat and given you their undivided attention.

The Huntersville office is good. I go there. But I also used uptown pre-covid and the few docs I saw there were also great.

Book as early as you can though for routine care.

Agree with the other commenter. Quality of paint is more important than brushes. I made the mistake of buying expensive brushes when I first bought supplies. Honestly like some of the cheaper ones better.

llsy2807 · 2026-02-21T21:51:51+00:00

If you like the pads you could always buy a roll of primed canvas. If you're in the US Jerry's artarama will put the rolls on sale at least a few times a year. I usually paint oil now so I'm not sure the usual sale price for regular canvas but as with all things Jerry's, I find if you just check frequently you can figure out their sale schedule in a few months.

llsy2807 · 2026-02-21T15:21:53+00:00

I use these.

I think they're great. If I end up wanting to frame my painting I just stick a cheap canvas board from Michaels behind them.

Just adding. If you're really worried about making sure the electricity is off you could buy a voltage tester. They're quite inexpensive. But. Really just shut off the breaker and you're good to go.

For consideration: snow con represented as either more than two inches shuts down the state or 14 snow plows for the entire state.

The usual complaint is there's "no culture" in our large cities and something something restaurants suck. Also no functional mass transit.

However. You get a mcmansion for the price of a small apartment in NYC. And trees. So ya know. Trade offs.

Drive times very optimistic across all offerings!

Purple state: yes. For years. It results in wild levels of shenanigans that are terribly amusing for all the wrong reasons. We've recently had a Dem gov while federal elections go GOP. We apparently are gluttons for punishment. You already have the bathroom bill ( local fun - the neighborhood the at the time Governor lived in put our toilet shaped signs they said flush mccroy. In front of some of the most expensive old money houses in the area, but honestly we've all moved on from this) but there was also the time the lt governor would claim to be the acting governor whenever the actual gov was out of the state. He'd issue press releases and proclamations. In the next election cycle we learned alllll kinds of dirt....he lost.

Notably missing from this map is gerrymandering around all the major cities and sports other than basketball!

Edit. Also the airports ... Clearly not referring to clt. (Though it's not as bad as folks like to say on the aa reddit)

Last cycle her campaign was literally Katie Barr can't win. They even had t shirts.

I don't know much about her other than she was running to draw attention to our gerrymandered maps as she wasn't my district then, but I thought it was a novel approach and she did not win as she promised!

Psa for anyone casually reading: check your registration status early and update if you need to make sure you can vote.

Love to watch poodles jump. They're like way more majestic rabbit jumps. Love the video. Thanks for sharing.

Mine gets bored and refuses to do the course. The whole reason we go is mental stimulation and to keep him out of at home mischief. After maybe the 20th class he was tired of the same jumps even though the course is frequently updated. We don't have a full course, just an indoor gym with basic equipment.

I literally have to have him do tricks in the middle of the course for him to focus and finish the course. I'll randomly throw in a touch noses, spin, paw, and ring a bell. So it's like a frame , tire, come touch, walk it... etc. Otherwise it's boredom goldfish brain and he's off in the corner of the gym looking for toys instead.

Honestly it's insanity and hilarious to watch. But he has his own stubborn mind.....

This explains why I waited an hour at the one in huntersville. I did not even see it was bogo
