I was a bouncer. A lot of people claimed to be someone important. They mostly weren’t. I pulled Jess Gower (a local celeb) and her friends out of the queue years ago because I knew she was a bit famous. She seemed a really nice normal person.

There’s always gonna be negativity, you’ve gotta strive for the positive. “Enjoy the little things” - Zombieland.

They’ll know. Do it a few times. Whistle, click or clap a bit before hand so they’re paying attention. It’s more about having an excuse to claim you weren’t feeding them if someone complains. “What !? I like eating my souvlaki in the park, it’s a messy meal.”

You might not be allowed to feed them directly, but I bet you can eat a messy sandwich or souvlaki that drops a bunch of meat and cheese.

It’s all of those things.

I mostly sleep through it else a nuzzle-nudge does the trick. I can hear that she hasn’t woken up during the whole thing.

Dogs have anal glands which is part of what they’re sniffing when sniffing each others rear ends.

The Australian law is no more than ten minutes on a day over 28 Celsius.

That said for me it depends on the dog and how the dog is feeling right then. My dog is half Chihuahua, he’ll lie on the concrete in the backyard on 40+ days when everyone is posting about how it’s dangerous for dogs to be out in the heat. I’ve known a bunch of kelpies - Australian working farm dogs - that are just fine in the heat as long as it’s not extreme.

Mate, It took them 4.5 years to get my hernia done, then another year to do it again cos they fucked it up. Basically if it’s not going to kill you soon they’re not super interested.

But yeah, everything else is pretty accessible and affordable. I reckon there’s a lot of hypochondriacs who take up too much of the systems time though.

Good, they’re great technology. Regulation and legislation will allow them to be used safely resulting in fewer cars on the road.

They’re gonna fall back on the algo being racist and not the storm troopers with the nazi tattoos, those guys are just doing what the AI tells them.

Scotty Kilmer, ChrisFix and Project Farm for cars.

If I were to put 40 litres of diesel in a barrel in my backyard and set it alight I’d get in a heap of trouble. If I put it in my car and drive a 400km it’s acceptable. That’s two jerry cans worth.

Control. stuck in an office with dull attack options. I played about half way through then looked up my progress and walked away. Way too dull for me. Friends were raving about it.

American healthcare sucks. I’m in Australia which is much better but I wouldn’t say it’s good.

$2400 every few years.

I’ve got nine Sarah’s in my list.

FWIW I tend to block power users on whatever site I’m on. It feels like going to a party and having three people come and stand between you and the party. I also block a ton of meme and nonsense groups, that’s not why I come to lemmy.

Work boots - Redback - until they split at the bridge and water gets in - ~4 years.

Runners - Asics Trail Running shoes - until the foam in the sole has worn down. 1500km (8km/day dog walking).

Crocks - Until they’re fucked. Had them two years now.

Birkenstocks - Until they’re fucked. Had them six years now. Self replacing the sole was a waste of time for me. I’ll but another pair sometime but I only wear them a few months of the year.

RM Williams dress boots - Had them twenty years but rarely wear them. I got them in thrift. They’re my suit shoes.
