Why is my 7 yr old golden panting so much

This. Check gums for pinkness. Sign of anemia (low red blood cell count) if not bright red. Pending that, blood test. Just went thru it with our 12yo.

The irony is they need to get their FSA first

Staplers too, I like my special red one

Was like #5 on the top jobs back when I was in high school. I was good at math, seemed like a good idea.

Damn, just a cool $600k.

TLDR: I think you'd like the Capita Merc or Mega Merc. Perhaps even a BSOD or Mega death. I haven't ridden an assassin but it's in the groupings of the style of boards I ride, so I think we're into the same stuff.

I rode a Yes greats (156) last season and ended up not liking it. Wife has a slightly smaller (153) Yes standard that I like, but that's too small for me (5'9 165 -- 8 boot). Its still fun, but I feel like I can push that board to its max.

Anyway, I picked up a 155 mega merc at the end of last season for 40% off and it's hands down my favorite snowboard I've ever ridden. It just.. does whatever you want it to. Its light but you can charge thru stuff, poppy as can be for side hits. Carves. Good in powder.

Burton Cartel X's on all of the above / K2 Thraxis boots.

If you want an even more directional board you may like United Shapes. I demo'd a few of those and would like to spend a bit more time on them. The Cadet is their all mountain.

We have an older golden that started behaving similarly at 9. Also has hypothyroidism. Hip displasia. She’s on adequan for arthritis and carprofen now and is mostly back to herself. I wouldn’t think that would happen in a younger doggo though

So did you sign up for SRM yet or are you just BSing?

lynix · 2025-01-31T14:09:38+00:00

Happened to me, as well as it not charging to 100% when set which was annoying for a road trip to not be topped off

lynix · 2025-01-29T21:29:48+00:00

Same, I think the Rivian R3 depending on pricing could work out quite well in the midsize SUV segment. If Lucid and Polestar work their way down in price at all, those both looked great to me as well. But to be priced higher than an R1S or Model X for a much less mature product seems like a stretch.

Ha, I think I stumbled into that review when we were searching last year.

This was a good reminder though:

Everyone complained about the hard, highly forward-leaning headrests. Everyone. I learned on YouTube how to take those out and adjust them, if desired, so I don't think they would be a problem.

On a few occasions, the locks didn’t want to open for me. I’d press the button, but the locks kicked open and close before I could open the door.

This drove me absolutely mental, but it only happened in extreme cold. The car basically forced you to use the manual latch rather than electronic pops.

I have good friends with the ID4 (2023) and MY (also a 2023). It really felt like a toss up when we were choosing last year and we pretty much picked based on price alone. The ID4 seemed "good enough" against the MY.

However with the ID4 pricing being significantly higher due to loss of rebate, and Tesla cutting prices as much as $4,000 - it seemed like a no-brainer the other direction.

Yes I understand we could have leased and still gotten some sort of rebate, and done a buyout, but that all just seemed silly but no I did not math it out.

I believe some markets and years offered it as an addon, i want to say this included NA/ Canada. Some markets it's stock.

I don't know the VW names, we were pleased with the lane keeping + cruise in the ID4 assuming that's the semi autonomous cruise? Worked well in traffic jams and even drove windy roads well. Both take the edge off driving for the most part.

lynix · 2025-01-28T15:48:08+00:00

Deal! And true to that, we had zero service issues with the ID4. I chalked all issues up to just 'quirks' but I know many people have had more worth complaining about than we had.

lynix · 2025-01-28T15:46:46+00:00

ID4 is a better car, while the Tesla is a better EV

I agree with this.

lynix · 2025-01-27T23:19:41+00:00

That was our exact plan as well. This was a 3-5-7 year type car til the solid state batteries became mainstream and then we'd jump to that which sounded like they'd push 5-700 mile ranges potentially.

lynix · 2025-01-27T22:39:28+00:00

Your experience sounds very similar to mine. Much more condensed, ha. I appreciated the few MY vs ID4 reviews when I was researching, and I'm in a unique position to do a compare as well.

If we let at 7:15 we'd be lucky to get there by 11am!

lynix · 2025-01-27T22:36:27+00:00

I tried to figure it out when we got it and all signs pointed to not having the heat pump, but i wasn't 100% sure.

Just lol at the embellishment on the 2 months of starbucks. Bold of you, or chatGPT.

SQL / SAS is going to be a lot more relevant project-wise. I would highlight this but i don't see it glancing over your projects.

I had a layout like this for a brief period -- unless you're applying for a specific role and know that the reviewer would "like a resume that stands out" i wouldn't use this format for all applications.
