Do any of you dog goons despise clipping dog nails as much as I do? Our one dog has white nails where you can see the quick so he isn't bad (though we did do the peanut butter on a plate trick and held it out in front of him and it was by far the easiest time we have had clipping him) but my other dog has black nails and it never fails I go just a little too far and he bleeds like a stuck pig while I try to control the bleeding for what seems like hours.

I think we are just going to punt on him and take him to the vet...let them deal with him. It's traumatic for all involved :(

I hate cutting my dog's nails. I just trim them a little but do it every two weeks. With regular walking, it's very manageable.

Yeah, I never went to Sam's. Cucas, IV Deli, Freebirds, or starve to death. Though I did like that Indian place but that's because the owner would give me free meals. I always chatted him up when he came by Six Pack Shop to buy his 5th of E&J at 10am in the morning.

Pro tip, for black nails, look at the bottom. You can see where the nail comes to skin

Also always clip a few cm before the nail arcs zenith

You can probably redbox and beat the BF2 campaign in an evening or two. It's not great, but I've heard it's just nonsense spectacle, and really, what more could you ask for from star wars?

I've actually been toying with this idea because supposedly doing that makes the quick recede back towards the toe and makes it less likely to get snipped...maybe after the vet gets him in a good spot I'll try that.

Look at the bottom of the nail? I know you can usually see the bulb or whatever after you clip but you can see it before? Do you have a visual you can link me to? That would help me a lot.

And a company I almost moved to a year ago, then a few months ago when I took my new gig just reached out with an offer. The past 2 times, the offer never materialized, but they just sent over an offer letter. My buddy is the VP of Engineering so that's why he was so direct, but now I get to spend the weekend wondering if the pay cut is worth not having to work with the single worst teammate I've ever worked with.

Heart says take the new job, but brain likes money. And it's only a paycut because I'm making remote SF money, but it's a v good offer for Austin.

Congrats man! Do you know if the new place offers yearly raises/bonuses that would help make up for the difference? Are we talking like 20k or like 5k? If you crunch the numbers, your budget works with the pay cut, and promise of making it up in a couple of years, happiness is worth far greater. Though keep in mind, every company has it's BS and "that guy".

They just tweaked the messaging this week so that part's slightly different now but usually through two avenues:

1. Make my profile entertaining enough to the type of women who I usually appeal to and then message them when they like me/message first

2. Find a few that are sort of my type adjacent and shoot off messages directly about something on their profile. Short, as snappy as I can make them, and to the point.


Avenue 1 is where I make most of success. Regardless OkCupid is very hit or miss by city and I typically have much more luck on Bumble. I just appreciate not being locked into the swipe mechanism and seeing more about people than a two line blurb. You do have to be painfully self-aware about who you are and what you are offering. I'm catnip to nerdy women, asian girls, and tiny brown women with fancy degrees because I look like a professor and appear to have my poo poo together (I absolutely do not). I don't usually chase sorority types or fitness/outdoorsy types outside of odd circumstances.

Definitely have reviews/raises, but it will take time and be hard to get to the SF money without becoming a manager, which I'd like to do anyways. It's over 10k of a paycut, but I've only been at this salary for the past few months so my budget will work with the pay cut and I'm definitely leaning towards happiness over money, it's just hard.

Both companies are at points where they could become big/acquired, but I've been in enough of those situations to not get caught up with that.


edit: also, I've encountered some trolls in my time, but the problem is only he and I are on the team here and I've never worked with someone this incapable of not making you feel like poo poo for asking questions/not being able to admit they're wrong.

This. It won't hurt to ask them to meet you half way and see what they say. Maybe they can come up 5k and it's a win-win slam dunk of a decision.
