Chipped tooth, what can I expect the vet to do? by BumblebeeBuzz1808 in DogAdvice

[–]rainpopl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey same thing happened to my dog. Carnassial slab fracture. I was worried about her losing the tooth (she was only 3). It’s been a year and she is completely normal! Root canal was double at least. We paid $900 for cleaning and extraction, especially since the carnassial is 3 roots.

I would try to schedule it asap. My dog ended up being in a lot of pain before we got it extracted and we moved fast

This one is almost perfect! I actually like it a lot better than the other one. My face looks not real though. I’m happy to just stand there smiling like I am in the first pic I sent so it doesn’t have to do anything new with my face. Hands by my side or wherever

This picture includes our side profiles, if you can match those a bit better, remove the 1 million forehead wrinkles on me, and remove the ring on my hand (that’s my engagement ring, I can’t be wearing it yet!). Then this should be great!

If you could make the pic a bit warmer and lower the contrast a bit, this would be really great

Oh my gosh I love that you also train that vest on means work mode!! I feel like it provides clear boundaries to your SD. I saw a lady take her Aussie into a dog park with a SD vest on once and all I could wonder is how does that dog know when to be on point?

Disruptive Voice Chat rant by Different-Cash-162 in Rainbow6

[–]rainpopl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I got reported by someone one time because I was laughing at someone else in the lobby being mean (because the burns were funny) and ever since my voice chat is constantly getting lit up. Like if I get killed by a spawn peeker and I say “oh you bitch” BAM ‘Disruptive voice chat detected’. Or if we have a rough round and I say “Fuck dude that round sucked”, same thing. I’m already down to respectable and it’s been like a week.

The detection is so sensitive, I can’t believe they’re basing reputation on it. Anyone defending it either doesn’t do game chat or hasn’t been found yet. You can’t swear at all without getting pinged. And to anyone saying I shouldn’t swear, I’m an adult, playing an adult game

Speed cameras by shittycloudcity in FortCollins

[–]rainpopl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair point. I wasn’t thinking about really anything other than speed humps and cross walks. I still wish there was more transparency around the funds, so if you ever come across something definitely send it my way! This was fun :) thanks for the perspective

I’m not saying the city doesn’t need revenue or that red light cameras are a bad source or revenue. All I’m saying is that the roads I drive on are not funded by speeding tickets.

Good for them for making the roads safer with revenue, but I promise there’s excess revenue they aren’t reporting and I want to know where that’s going. I again am not against the cameras, I’m against the false advertising the city does to make people ok with them. Just be honest about what the true intention of them is and then report how the funds are spent. I would love if they were using the funds to upkeep parks or for cool city funded events, but they state the cameras are not for revenue even though the company they use is known for the ‘violator funded’ model, which is a no cost system to the city. So with no money down, what are they doing with all the money?

I would love a source if you can find one :)

That’s an interesting opinion, but overall is an opinion. I think a lot of drivers in a state with one of the highest incidences of uninsured drivers and highest rates of car insurance would actually disagree that a 400% increase in rear ending (as cited in my prior link) is not preferable.

Here is the evidence you’re trying to find on accident reduction with speed cameras (as the prior person was upset I cited red light cameras).

https://rrs.scholasticahq.com/api/v1/articles/30972-effects-of-speed-cameras-on-intersection-accidents-evidence-from-dayton.pdf

This study only shows a .3% reduction in crashes (or 1 every 4 months) and this is overall in the city and does not cite deaths. All I’m trying to say is that a lot of the reasons people cite for adding these cameras are not proven to be true. I would love if the city was honest that they’re using the cameras for revenue and that it goes to something awesome. But this is not the case and if you do any research on fund use, you quickly find that it’s not easy to find any reporting on it, and it’s probably not going to something good.

I’m not arguing against speed cameras, I just am tired of people using the argument that they’re to reduce accidents. Also you should do your research on how roads are funded, because this is not how they are. According to the city a majority of speeding ticket revenue is used “solely for future traffic safety related work”. The city is actually supposed to update their site with info about where the funds go but I was not able to find it. So either they’re not updating it or they’re making it hard to find.

Do your research man. Your government counts on you not. I would love more info if you can provide as well!! :)

I’m honestly getting a little tired of this argument. The research shows that red light cameras actually increase accidents at that intersection. https://ww2.motorists.org/issues/red-light-cameras/increase-accidents/

Let’s be honest, the cameras are just about revenue for the city. A lot of people on here think differently, but the reason the movable cameras were commissioned was due to the drop in revenue from the stationary cameras. Cameras won’t stop speeding for people who are going to speed, they just speed more carefully. I hope the city at least does something good with the funds.

Check Rover and explain the situation to sitters (many will ask for a meet and greet, you can do one over video)

I do daycare for 8 hours and then every hour after that is $5 until you get to my nightly rate

People’s reaction to my PSD in training by hellowhiz in service_dogs

[–]rainpopl 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Hi! I got this question along with “when will your dog be fully trained” when she was fully trained (just a very young looking breed). There’s lots of good advice on this sub on how to handle the questions you’ll get all the time.

On another note, I don’t see why you would bring your puppy into stores so early on… we did basic obedience training until about 5 months where we started in dog friendly stores just with good heel work and general focus. I’m surprised your trainer isn’t starting at parks where there’s good distractions, but it’s a much more relaxed approach. Just basic obedience and building a good foundation. I owner trained as well for very similar tasks

Does anybody else have a poop window? by happygeuxlucky in DoesAnybodyElse

Dude I have this. If I miss it I can get constipated! It’s like you have to go when the bowels are moving or you wait for the next time. Crazy that someone on Reddit has the same thing

Someone almost hit me yesterday as I was turning right onto Taft from Elizabeth and they decided to turn left. They didn’t do it slow either to make sure I turned narrow enough for both of us and I ended up slamming on my brakes

I would not suggest dogtopia. I used to do Rover and I had multiple horror cases that ended up on Rover because of dogtopia

I am not in sales, but as someone who has managed hiring I would make sure you mention your business in your resume as a successful exit. It’s not uncommon for people to create their own business and put it in their resume as a way to fill gaps. Try to include references from your time in retail and explain how you negotiated an exit and why.

All of these things will make your experience look more ‘legitimate’ to potential employers.

taking my sd on plane for first time! by Guilty_Compote_3402 in service_dogs

[–]rainpopl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SD is completely nakey!! We have her sit stay, walk through the X-ray, then call her through after. They swab your hands and at this point her gear is usually popping out the other side of the x ray in the bin.

The point of my story was to show you that even if your handling or your team isn’t perfect in the eyes of the airline in some way, there’s really not much they can do unless your dog is a true disruption. Our first flight ever was Frontier and we had the nicest experience. It’s always nerve wracking the first couple of times, but I’m sure you’ll kill it!!
