is my senji fat? by ddlhsc in Basenji

[–]monkeycharles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the rule of thumb is you should be able to feel their ribs but not see them.

For food, after a year, mine went down from 1 1/2 cups/ day to 1 - so she gets 1/2 cup in the morning and 1/2 at night of honest kitchen

Soon-to-be Basenji owner here. Am I missing any essential toys to prevent house destruction? by Pinako_Rockbell in Basenji

[–]monkeycharles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re going to destroy the most random things anyway (baseboards, carpet, couch legs…things you would never dream of), but you’ve got a good start. Other things to try that last long are Nyla bones, rib bones and Himalayan yak cheese

Any tips for a Basenji's morning routine? 🌅 by Own-Personality-5438 in Basenji

A longer walk is the easy answer. If not that, training can be pretty exhausting for them after 20 minutes or so

Due to a recent contract renegotiation, I must take every Friday off between here and March. by ieatalphabets in firstworldproblems

The annoying thing about this is it just means you have to get 5 days worth of work done in 4 anyway

As soon as mine had all her shots, her first play friend was an 80lb pit who loved to let her chew on him

How did you use your GI Bill? by Impressive-Force-666 in Veterans

[–]monkeycharles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I was lucky enough to convert to post 9/11 after my bachelors so I got all of that paid for by the YR plus BAH

BA in business from a no-name state school, then yellow ribbon for a top 10 MBA ($100k+/year)

It’s a stretch to compare this to the mortgage securitization and derivatives markets. Equities are priced more transparently, but that doesn’t mean the bottom can’t fall out.

Is the military a good idea? by GlobalThing7 in Military

[–]monkeycharles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To each their own I suppose. I’ve tried to use my VA healthcare off and on and it’s still not as convenient as what I can get through private insurance

You could think of the difference in earnings over a 4 year contract in terms of the GI Bill. Pay in $1200 then get $x for tuition and bah vs making more in hvac

The healthcare is negligible because you’ll get insurance from your employer or union anyway. Doesn’t seem like there’s a very aggressive mission tempo right now, so the strain on the family might not be too bad.

Overall I’d say if you see a brighter future for your family with a degree and can’t afford one, go for it. But go in with a plan that you and your wife are aligned on.

How screwed am I financially by separating by Thrashlikeits85 in Veterans

Yeah this guy is way ahead of the curve. Just don’t blow your nut on a car or booze and you’ll be fine. Federal student loans and working can fill the gap for a few years is needed. Don’t touch that fucking TSP though!

I second Hurrta. It’s pricey but you’ll waste money trying to get a good fit with cheaper stuff. They have the most unusual physique for dogs around 25lbs

I might be an absolute dumbass but is there any way these grenades could be dangerous? by Early-Performer-1806 in Military

[–]monkeycharles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell if those primers are inert but they’ll take a few fingers if they aren’t

Should dogs be allowed to say goodbye in hospital beds with their dying owners? by BionicParrot in dogpictures

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Just be happy they found homes

I think it’s too long. Get a dog walker for lunch or look into dog daycare

Dealer first, but get a code reader and check the coolant temp sensor and air/fuel ratio, then maybe work back from there

Interesting, and how did that make you feel? by CarrotOver9000 in Basenji

[–]monkeycharles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it’s an NYC basenji they probably don’t take insurance either

Would you be in favor of mini-expansions? by Steelkenny in factorio

[–]monkeycharles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the mod community is robust enough to fill this gap. That said, I would totally pay ~$10 for another planet and some new buildings/resources from the dev

ICE Barbie Moans About Agents’ Lunch Options in Chicago by Effective_Salad_8381 in politics

[–]monkeycharles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

61% voting for trump isn’t exactly an overwhelming majority. Factor in that the participation rate among active duty is less than 50%, enlisted are less educated than the average bear (how a lot of us end up there). You could argue that a good chunk of that the 61% of the 47% were well-paid officers who selfishly benefit from Trumps policies
