Turns two very good breeds into a mystery box. The breeders claim that they are hypoallergenic, which is not guaranteed, and they claim that they don't need to be groomed, but they usually do. Most reputable breeders don't breed them so they are usually in worse health than pure bred dogs from a reputable breeder for more money.
Basically, they are a scam. The puppies sure are cute though.
People anthropomorphize dogs too much. If anyone has seen a working dog do their job as a puppy with 0 training they might reconsider the dogs that were bred to fight.
My dog was also attacked by a pitbull at a dog park. My dog would have died if the pitbull bit just a little bit further in, its jaws were clamped onto my dogs neck skin. It took two full grown men and me gouging its eyes for about 2 minutes before it would release. My dog's transgression to provoke the other dog? Smelling its butt one time.
Most people won't talk politics unless they know the other person's opinions already. I've had discussions about every day with my friends and wife, but there is no way I'm going to get into a discussion with my parents or maga coworker. I don't have the energy to debunk every stupid thing they say when they won't change their mind.
CISA actually monitored Internet traffic and would contact government entities (local, schools, universities, etc) when they were being attacked. I went to a talk once where they said they usually had response times in minutes, and it would take longer to figure out who they needed to alert and convince them that it was real. Now that CISA is gutted I would expect more and worse breaches in the future.
It's not cheaper to execute people with our current legal framework. After we get 30,000 people in Guantanamo bay and illegal immigration has become a crime punishable by death, things could change.
I don't think they've successfully sued anyone for that. The few cases I saw last time I looked people were intentionally germinating or saving/selling seeds.
Birds dying to HPAI are very easy to catch too, so even the Garfield's out there can be exposed. I had a red tailed hawk crash out in my backyard and it was dead 24 hours later. I put it into a box (after it crashed and didn't move for 20 mins) but no rehab would take it, because there is nothing that can be done to help them.
There are cats and European starlings everywhere, extra cats will only hurt the situation. It would be basically impossible to remove starlings at a neighborhood level. Just plant more wild flowers and put up nest boxes starlings can't use, or put up bird feeders if you really want to see other birds.
If you are renting and have no practical skills to actually fix this, just leave it alone. You are likely to fuck up the floor worse trying to do these home remedies.
Ya, the incredibly wealthy used to build public infrastructure because they were taxed at like 90% and they thought they might as well make what they want and have it be a donation than let the gov take the money. Now they don't build anything AND are taxes lower than everyone else.
Nice. I just fixed my Samsung dryer. The drum was binding or something, about 50% of the time it would make a buzzing noise when started and it wouldn't spin. One of the wheels inside was hard to turn when I took it apart. Replaced 2 wheels, belt, tension arm thing, and motor. Was like $80 in total. I did that yesterday and so far so good. I've had the set for about 10 years too so I'll remember this if the washer stops working.
Yes, being able to elect a criminal is by design. I'm sure all of the founders were designated as criminals by England. It's the will of the people over the government which was like their whole thing.
Until the people change their mind we are stuck with Trump and or his cronies.
Epigenetics. But that's not as cool as whatever Assassin's Creed is.
