My girlfriend was riding her horse and got hit by a car and killed the horse. Will the drivers insurance cover the cost of the horse as well as the vet bill?. Happened in Ireland.quote:Hi this just happened a few hours ago but I thought I'd see if anyone can give me some advice. Luckily my girlfriend had no serious injuries. She was riding riding her horse from our field to our yard (3-5 min walk) and a driver of a 4x4 with cattle trailer tried to overtake the horse and rider on a narrow straight single lane road at a high speed My girlfriend managed to swerve off to the left to get out of the way but there was a telegraph pole and the horse hit it and fell backwards and processed to get hit by the cattle trailer. Horse suffered major injuries and was treated by a vet within 10 minutes of incident and he arrived and instantly said the horse wouldn't make it. We now have a bill for the vet as well as the horse removal company. We were very emotionally attached to the horse and my girlfriend is very upset, but also a bit shocked as she could have easily died if she didn't fall that way . I watched the whole thing from about 10ft away and I'm still a bit shaken. GWM business plan: horse removal company

I wondered just what kind of truck you need to remove a dead horse. I was picturing one of those army flatbed trucks with a built in crane and sure enough if you want the best you spring for these guys with their custom built rigs:https://www.dignifiedanimaldisposal.com/our-services posted:If you can't afford the best, call the Los Angeles Sanitation Department, they have their own special garbage truck to send your horse off on the cheap:  Are you an equestrian white supremacist?

Brands sold off A&W and Long John Silver’s in late 2011, but until then you could find any combination of A&W, Long John Silver’s, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC in the United States.

Happened in Ireland. quote:Outside wilderness areas, the removal of a dead horse differs. On National Forest lands where other trail users "may be offended by the sight of a dead animal, bears may be attracted to the site or quick removal is necessary", the local ranger office has to be notified. That office will then contact a qualified blaster. The blaster's job is to blow the horse up! With up to or over 100 pounds of dynamite placed on, over and around the carcass, the fuse is lit and the horse blown to pieces. National Forest Service logic, no "large pieces" to attract bears, mountain lions which in turn would endanger human life. There is one caution to this procedure. Before lighting the fuse be sure to remove the iron shoes from the horse. If not, someone could get hit with flying shrapnel.

It’ll get filled, especially if it’s in a city people want to live in. Note that the educational requirement is extremely non specific, and a lot of the other stuff is fudge-able. Basically there’s a whole bottom feeder tier of office admin work that preys on people with masters and PhDs in areas that they can’t get work in and who need to pay the bills, ideally while continuing a job search in the same area. I’ve waded through way too many adverts like that.

My friends and I also once took a road trip to Scottsbluff just to eat Runza and see a place we haven't before. Scottsbluff is boring as hell, the Runza was the highlight of the trip. Avoid their other two fast food institutions, Valentino's and Amigo's, at all costs, though. Valentino's was hot and filled with flies and tasted like sadness. Amigo's simply tastes like a Nebraskan interpretation of Mexican food.

I mean, I’ve done similar in the past. The upside is that it lets you fluff out your resume and you don’t have to have any loyalty what so ever. Get a new job a month in? gently caress it, ghost ‘em and move on. But yeah it’s exploitative as all gently caress

The Masters degree thing is likely not a real requirement, someone using a copy & paste and leaving a requirement. This looks like a pretty standard proofer description which pay around that and never requires a masters. Ironically, they probably really do need the proof reader.

I felt like this had to be bullshit, so I did some digging. Not only is it real, there's a Park Service manual that covers it. Page 30 even has a diagram of a dead horse that shows where to put the explosives.

This looks like a pretty standard proofer description which pay around that and never requires a masters. Remember how in the 70s you could be a secretary with a HS education and by the tome the 00s came around a BA was a hard requirement? We’re starting to see that with masters. As a result we’re also seeing a proliferation of “eh it’s a masters, I guess” programs to just check off the credential requirement. One year online only programs for masters in administrative science and the like are increasingly common. Note that the main entry requirement for the program I linked is a 2.75 undergrad GPA. Now obviously there is an upper limit to this. It isn’t sustainable to expect every admin assistant to have a masters. But as long as we have unlimited, undischargable student debt we’re going to have this ratcheting credential BS.

The hiring manager at IBM isn't going to pass on a solid Kubernetes admin because they don't meet an impossible requirement on paper, assuming that the resume makes it past HR. The extra fun thing here is now that HR firms use online forms that ask you for how many years of experience you have and if you don't put the impossible number in, it doesn't let you proceed and just goes 'sorry you're too new at this, bye'. So you either answer honestly and get booted, or lie by entering an impossible number which they can then beat you with later.

The hiring manager at IBM isn't going to pass on a solid Kubernetes admin because they don't meet an impossible requirement on paper, assuming that the resume makes it past HR. This is a big thing that creates (hopefully unintended) gender bias. For whatever reasons women are more likely to look at a set of requirements and say "I don't have 3 of these, I shouldn't apply" where a man will say "I meet 9 out of 12, I should apply!". I've been working with other teams in my company to do things like phrase requirements as "We are looking for a candidate with a combination of these skills" and other language to make it clear that every box doesn't need to be checked. This doesn't help with impossible time travel requirements, of course.
