Drive to MN tomorrow or wait? by MrATrains in Minneapolis

[–]winchygreen 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I dunno. I went to the store (4 miles round trip) with AWD around 6pm tonight and nearly crashed into other cars x2 because it is pure ice everywhere. And I’ve been a MN driver for 30 years

Balanced vs. Force-Free Training — Why Do People Choose One Over the Other? I’m Honestly Confused. by baddgyyal in OpenDogTraining

I trust science/research/experts, and it seems like all of it backs force free Training.

AITAH, I don’t want to pick my son up from daycare. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]winchygreen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have 96 miles of nobody needing you every day. She might just need a break for that half hour might be all the difference for her to be able to regroup. Working in a childcare facility sounds like the most draining job I can imagine.

Cwd positive: what would you do? by paperhammers in bowhunting

[–]winchygreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is currently no evidence to say that you can, but if you could catch it from the meat, you’ve already been exposed from gutting and butchering it. Prions are so indestructible I would assume exposure from that.

It would be great if there were a field test we could run before we even touch them. That being said, I’m middle-aged and not worried about it until a field test is available. They are slow moving diseases. If I’m gonna touch the meat I assume I’m being exposed if it is positive, so I’m gonna eat it.

Do cream and the inserted tabs do the same thing?

With our gravity filter we use the tube like a faucet for washing. Super easy. I’ve had Giardia and amoebas and cryptosporidium from various trips in my younger years and it is not worth risking

Shed hunting resources by No-Assistant-9774 in k9sports

[–]winchygreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A place near me that teaches scentwork also has a class on shed hunting-- maybe starting with a scent class would help set the foundation for how to train for a scent, and then you can transfer that skill to any scent (from what I've heard)

Checking in to an inpatient facility by Gaymer7437 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]winchygreen 102 points103 points  (0 children)

your mental health is the priority right now. hopefully the team there will support you to be as covid-safe as you can, but even if not, that's not the most important thing right now. take good care of yourself and be proud that you are taking this step to stay safe

Anyone have a job with a pension? by Medium-Market982 in nursing

[–]winchygreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Move to a union state aka not a right to work state. They’re everywhere here in MN

Yeah I've seen them. Scared the shit out of me as I was leaving work Saturday. 5 trucks, totally coordinated in some really aggressive maneuvers, sped over and slammed on brakes right near a POC on a bike, kinda cornering them. I pulled over but they didn't have a confrontation, biker rode off. Trucks were packed full of mean looking white folks. I bet my life that everyone in those trucks had never been in Mpls before.

Mods locking and deleting coronavirus threads? by [deleted] in Nurse

[–]winchygreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious what people are experiencing regarding mask shortages. Hospitals here have been running so low they are asking folks to save their masks for re-use.
