To be fair, there’s some stuff that was bred into the gene pool near the inception of the breed that can’t be easily removed now. You can reduce the risk by avoiding incest and thorough genetic testing where possible, but there’s some health issues that would plague purebreds for a long time even if every breeder in the world was responsible.

Weren’t we supposed to die from our contaminated blood a couple years ago? Wonder when that’ll come around…

Either this person has never had to deal with parvo, or they have and don’t give a shit about their dogs.

Or they’re just lying b because no reputable groomer, kennel, or vet would see them without at least rabies, parvo, and kennel cough vaccines.

Definitely this, and maybe a motorized scooter for days that really require you to move around. Also check the conference site or call them to see if they offer any accommodations. But, OP, you’re probably not gonna be making it 15-25 miles a day no matter what you do. Be honest with yourself and others about your limitations and don’t push yourself too hard. Have a backup plan to get around if you need to.

Primitive Technology has a great video showing a couple ways string was used to drive tools. Great channel in general for seeing not only old tools, but how each one was experimented on and refined over time.

Hush now, I’m busy psychoanalysing people for their choice in pets.

I like my dog’s energy because she motivates me to move at least a little bit each day. Of course I’m not gonna get a husky because no amount of motivation would let me keep up with them, but a good energy match in a dog is heaven to me.

I like cats too, but I feel like I just don’t “get” them as intuitively.

Honestly the entire thing evolved quickly from silly random humor to a full-blown story with recognizable characters and drama.

Once again I’m reminded that I could make so much money if I didn’t have this pesky conscience.

I realize now that I’ve only tried black and green olives, I wonder what worlds of flavor I’m missing out on.

Also unrelated, but as a kid I thought olives just naturally had pimentos in them.

When you’ve just turned trans and you’re dodging klans, well you gotta go and find out the rules.

Sexual assault can happen to men and boys. Sure, some of them may be “fine” with what happened, but this mentality makes it incredibly difficult for male victims of sexual assault to come forward and get help when they need it. The damage isn’t always apparent right away, either.

Any advice for a person who doesn’t really like the mushy texture of beans or chickpeas? I love hummus but I can’t do whole chickpeas.

I allow it only as it pertains to plants, anyone using it for an event deserves prison.

I’m guilty of this, and for some reason “the dishes need doing” in particular tickles my brain. That one doesn’t even make sense with an infinitive!

I hate the confusion that “do you mind” questions cause.

“Do you mind if I turn off the light?”

What is meant in response: “No (I don’t mind)”

What’s said instead: “Yes”

I feel like two people never really know how the other will interpret it, so you almost always have to say something like “yes, go ahead” or “no, I don’t mind” (or “no, go ahead”). If they do respond just “yes” or “no”, I feel like I have to ask for clarification.

Also can we get the meaning of “semi-” and “bi-” figured out? I generally love the oddities of evolving language so long as we can all still be understood, but these two always require clarification.

Bi-annual: Every two years.
Semi-annual: Twice a year

Make it a law!

You mean you wish you were a lesbian

I mean, to me it doesn’t really make that much sense one way or the other. Genuine question, how is “by” being used here? What are other examples of it being used this way?

That’s a curious one, can you explain why it bothers you? Or is it just one of those things?
