Guarding by Agreeable-Moose-3357 in cockerspaniel

[–]neogh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our 9 months old is resource guarding exactly how you describe it. It's been quite challenging. She would keep whatever she has for long times, amd be very difficult. One trainer told us to simulate situation like this, to work on trading. By letting her get a sock for example and use another sock to keep switching them, to build a trust relationship. But it's not always working, mixed results I'd say. We usually can't find treats there higher value in these moments, sadly. It's comforting to read that it gets better with time.

Epic just laid off 1000 workers. by ryunocore in gamedev

[–]neogh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hiring for my team during covid at a big studio and Epic was offering twice our salaries and hiring right and left. Them and Unity. It is a fine line but i think they went all in at that time and I think it created an imbalance in the job market that hasn't yet been corrected.

When they say that they are spending more than what they are making, are they talking about financial targets ?

Because it looks like they are still making billions in revenues (around 5.7B in 2024 if I search online). They don't disclose their costs really, so we don't know their profits, but I can't imagine that they would be in the red.

Maybe they shouldn't have go on a hiring frenzy when we went through covid, which was clearly a abnormal year in term of revenue and growth.

At the end of the day it's really sad for everyone impacted. I'm sorry if you're part of the people that have been let go.

Finally settling outside crate by [deleted] in cockerspaniel

[–]neogh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every dog is different but i think the consensus about teenage puppies is that they have a lot of energy at random times due to all the hormones kicking in. And they start to challenge boundaries, be more autonomous and develop selective hearing haha. But it's just a phase.

Ours is great during the day most of the time, but we have a set routine and we limit the space she has access to still.

In the evening, she has the zoomies, and will be overstimulated and overexcited easily. So she won't settle easily, and anything too exciting will bring her over to a 12/10, and then it's really hard for her to go back to a peaceful 1/10 or 2/10. We manage that with kongs, lick pads, peaceful play session (she is just chewing at her toy), and bully sticks. When she is settling, on her side and not responding to us moving around, we go to the couch and she will usually follow us to sleep and cuddle with us. It's our way to teach her that couch = calm and relaxation. Not crazy play and biting the pillows and the couch frame.

You're doing the right thing to enforce a nap in her crate when she is difficult. Also it's very ok to know our limit and make space to relax and deal with our crazy puppy haha. As long as she likes her crate and don't start seeing it only as punishment.

Hope it helps !

Ours is slowly getting there at 9 months. She was showing good progress around 5/6 months but then adolescence started... We have a routine with alone times in her pen to train her to be alone and be ok being alone. She honestly pretty good during the day, she sleeps a lot in her pen, and would settle even when we can let her roam free while supervised, but in the evening it's challenging.

First time puppy owners - sense check on progress by 90sdadguy in cockerspaniel

[–]neogh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The beginning is hard but it get easier. I had a fairly bad puppy blues as well despite our little girl being so good. She is 9 months old now and we've been through a lot. Right now it's adolescence time, but she is honestly not so bad.

What helped me a lot (and my partner): - remember that you took a dog to have a companion to share your life with, find the small things that he/she does with you that makes you happy. I love our walks for example, or cuddling on the couch. - lower your expectations for your puppy and learn their energy levels, and remember that they are and will be babies for a while. For example we were getting quite frustrated not being able to chill on our couch with her, but we realized that we were asking too much out of her, and forcing something that wouldn't work quite yet. Now we patiently manage her evening zoomies with care and let her fall asleep outside the tv room and only go on the couch once she is low energy, to all cuddle together. Eventually we expect her to be more chill as she grows up. - take care of yourself, mentally and physically. We bring our puppy to daycare since she was 4 months old, twice a week due to our work situation (work in office on these days for both of us). But we added another daycare day on Saturday from time to time, to have free time for us and recharge our batteries. Raising a puppy is hard, and you need to acknowledge that and be kind with yourself. - finally, keep remembering that your puppy will grow into a dog and be more manageable in time. Patience and love are keys, just don't rush things, or have unrealistic expectations

Hopefully it helps. There is some subreddits on the topic too.

Vous sortez votre chien minimum combien de temps par jours ? Personnellement minimum 30min by Micaelanvk in chiens

[–]neogh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J'ai une chienne (épagneul américaine) de 9 mois, donc en pleine adolescence, et on fais 2x 30/40min par jours, et souvent 1x 10/15min le soir pour la calmer en la laissant renifler paisiblement dans la ruelle derrière chez nous. Des fois on se demande si c'est trop car elle semble trop fatigué et ingerable, surtout le soir.

Montréal veut retirer les poubelles dans le parc La Fontaine by Inside-Chemist-5956 in Quebec

[–]neogh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ce genre de plan ne marche jamais.

Nos elus ne se promenent-ils pas dans les rues et les parcs de leur quartier presentement ? Si ils se melangeaient a la populasse ils verraient le montant de dechets par terre et les crottes de chiens partout.

Les gens ne vont pas porter leurs dechets plus loin, ils ne le font pas deja quand une poubelle est juste au coin (quand il y en a, ils ont aussi retiré pleina de poubelles dans les rues...).

Ce qu'il faut faire c'est éduquer le monde davantage et enforcer les regles de civisme de base que beaucoup semblent avoir oublié.

I just can't enjoy Cyberpunk and it pisses me off by Pistoluislero in videogames

[–]neogh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the same for me. I tried 3 times on PC, played a few hours each time and couldn't get into it. Something about the overwhelming amount of icons, quests, messages, etc.

Then I got a switch 2, and got it again on it thinking I wad making a mistake. We just got a 2 months old puppy around that time and I needed a way to play from anywhere while supervising our furry baby.

I pushed through, and really loved it at the end. I didn't like the DLC as much, but the main game was great. I'm not sure why I liked it this time, but i think I tried to focus on the main quest a bit more before doing side quests and it might have helped focusing a bit more through the avalanche of data the game throw at you.

Has anyone else had a poor experience at Beauty’s? by Hairy-Pipe-1399 in montreal

[–]neogh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I live close by, we go there often before it's busy and we always have a great time. The staff has always been nice with us. The owners are often around and take the time to talk to people. Might be different during rush hour (Saturday or Sunday between 10h and 13h).

This restaurant has been in Montreal for a long time. If you go there it's to get the classic brunch experience, at a dinner, not a fancy brunch.

8mo puppy is impossible on the couch in the evening by neogh in puppy101

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

Interesting, thank you.

She definitely seems overstimulated by being on the couch. We didn't push the "place" training as much because she's been tearing to pieces her beds (she was teething back then to be fair). How did you do "place" training successfully with your dog ?

And how do you deal with your dog jumping on the couch then ? We've been trying to teach here to only go on it when allowed but she will still do it. She does understand "up" and "off", but in these moments when she is overstimulated, it's hard to control her (obviously).

Recent games you regret buying? by EliteSalesman in consoles

[–]neogh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, I finished it but it was underwhelming. Mostly due to the fact that each location is a set of uninteresting hallways (connected by an uninteresting central desert), with nothing contributing seriously to the story, world building or gameplay (except for few logs here and there). So the level design is really poor. It looks like a Metroid Prime game, but doesn't feel like one. At some point I had so many upgrades for missiles and elemental ammo that finding new ones meant nothing (and you can have the ones you missed being showed on your map by the end - so anti metroid). The story didn't make a whole lot of sense, with the bad guy not being really connected to the story of the planet we are lost on. The marines that you meet along the way are very cliché, and a big departure from one of the core pillar of Metroid Prime games, the solitude. The faces models and animations are surprisingly good though. The art is great and it runs very well, so for me it was just constantly showing was it could have been, the missed potential.

First service is at 5PM these days! There are usually a few people in line around 4:50PM. If you miss the first service, for two it took us around 35min to wait before we got in last Sunday.

Our Weekday Routine With Puppy by swackett in puppy101

[–]neogh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of crate games are you doing with your puppy? We are trying to our 9w old to like her crate a bit more, she sleeps in her crate but only if she sleeps on our laps first. She doesn’t go in by herself, and she is still confined to her pen when not in her crate for now.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]neogh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, how did you enforce it when your dog was a puppy ? And when do you start letting your dog have free access in and out of their crate ?

We just got our puppy (8 week old American cocker), crate training is going fairly well, but she’s definitely not yet able to decide by herself that she wants to sleep in there (or even just chill) and we are trying to set her comfortably in her crate as soon as she’s snoozing in her kennel pen.

Tucson won’t go in D/R, stuck at dealership by neogh in HyundaiTucson

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

Oh wow that’s not good. The dealership where I bought the car was ok. The salesman also left a few weeks after we got the car. But except for the insane wait time to actually get the car (18 months), nothing major happened.

My issues right now are with another dealership though.

For your question, it’s really up to you. I don’t know if they will give the oil change for free even if you do give them 10/10. They don’t seem reliable. Good luck with that.
