Hope you read a bit about how best to teach potty training, no barking training, and no destructive behavior training. Best of luck to you both, the first few months are the hardest!

Thank you for listening to my Nutella adventurei still think about this sometimes because be aware that I did all of that without having a spoon so the eating out of jar part was exciting in of itself already

I just got into a very lively conversation with the grocery store private cop that's walking around with a loaded gun. Suffice it to say, he was not ready for me asking him very simple question about why he's carrying a loaded gun. He ran the gamut from saying it's for active shooters in the parking lot, to saying it to deter theft in the aisles, and even gave an example of a lady caught stealing something earlier today. For which his deterrent didn't work, and he didn't use his gun for. He told me he was getting defensive because I was asking him questions, he got visibly upset and nervous and when I asked about his bullet proof vest and whether his chest camera was on he asked, "do you want me to turn it on?" I said no. He said too bad. I told him I do not consent to being recorded six times, he told me he has to record every incident when he feels unsafe. lol After some more back and forth he asked if I wanted him to turn the camera off and I told him that I had already explained that to him a half dozen times. He said his main reason for being present is to stop shooters in the parking lot, I asked why he isn't in the parking lot then. He said it's to stop theft in the store, I asked how many gun-related incidents have happened at that store and he said none. He said it's for deterrent. I said, so you're threatening someone, who may just be trying to feed their family with a loaded weapon. He said he's retired deputy and has the training to not do anything stupid. I said there's tons of examples of fully trained deputies who do stupid things in the heat of the moment. He accused me of gaslighting him. He said, "if you don't like it, you can go vote this November." I said the upcoming elections have nothing to do with the grocery store's private security. He said, those election affect everything in society. I said, "those are elections for public office, bro. They have nothing to do with HyVee hiring private security." Who's gaslighting who. I asked his name and he quickly asked me mine, so I gave him a card for my art website lol. He told me I wasn't being nice to him. https://i.imgur.com/9jTkSUL.mp4 |

cw: gun violence mass shootings domestic terrorism One key, if grim, aspect of armed private security in America is that armor comfortable enough to wear on a daily basis as private security is trivial to defeat with rifle ammunition, and the kinds of pistol used by private security (9mm glocks or sigs with normal ammo) are very achievable to totally defeat with civilian-accessible (but extremely uncomfortable) body armor. This was seen to tragic end at the Buffalo shooting. So, armed private security are not a good way to prevent domestic terrorism. Anyways hello byob.

Ohtori Akio posted:So, armed private security are not a good way to prevent domestic terrorism. So it's more of a problem that armed private security care more about their own lives than their jobs so they typically will avoid getting into a gunfight with someone whose gun is bigger (or even someone whose gun is smaller *and* who has less armor). Either way, the conclusion is accurate. |

Posting to test new av thingy Also posting because I just took a funny pic of my pup. So, she had surgery, is wearing a cone, but keeps insisting that when we sit down on the sofa for dinner and TV she must be covered by the blanket (as she usually is). This lasted for some minutes until she realized we hadn't shared anything with her yet, so she must make her presence known:  "Oi! Beans, ok?? I'm staring at you"

Oh I forgot, I took my car to a mechanic the other day. Baby needed an oil change, but was also throwing an engine code and I really felt like it was a spark plug misfire, there was a stall when cranking. I don't have tools to do the plugs myself so I figured I'd knock out a few things at once at the shop including having them reattach my inside driver's door handle to the hook that runs to the latch release. It's been forever FOREVER since that door handle stopped working (I had the door panel off to replace a speaker and never reattached the door handle, oops). So I had been rolling down the window to get out. Yes, I know. I procrastinate badly. Anywho, the mechanic called me and told me the air filter looked like it had never been replaced, probably true. And there was a lot of dirt and debris in there. I asked him to fix that. Then I walked back to the shop. I think he thought I had gone home because he looked surprised when I showed back up. He started running down a long list of poo poo that needed to be done that was utter horseshit. I guess he thought I was a rube. He said that he looked at my door handle and the handle was broken so he had to replace it with a brand new chrome one (what?). I walked right to the car and reached in and found the same door handle there. I just stared him straight in the eye while I explained that I know what the issue is, just reattaching the hook, and he walked back what he was saying and he said, "oh yea I guess that's why you were looking at me like whaaaaat. I didn't even think that it may just be the hook". He said that they had to run a $100 diagnostic on the engine to find out if it was the plugs and blah blah, so I just quickly started asking him questions about everything he was saying, you could tell he wasn't expecting pushback. And he was like, "you know what? Actually everything pretty much looks good here. There's a slight leak in your vacuum hose but nothing major, there's an error in the tranny (that I was aware of). You know, I'll just delete that diagnostic charge and I'll even take your door apart and see if I can reattach it. Said it would be 0.7 hours of labor at $200/hr to do the door. His shop phone rang right then and he walked away and I grabbed his little tally sheet that he had left in the car showing all the poo poo that they were just about to charge me for and I went down item by item adding up all the horseshit while he stood in front of me on the phone watching me. He never expected me to see this paper, he thought I was at home. After his call, he said he wasn't going to charge for the door, or the diagnostic or this or that. I said, you're going to charge me for the oil change and replacing the air filter. He was like, "yea of course, no problem. Give me 20 minutes to look at the door and I'll be done." So I walked the block a bit and came back. Lo and behold his safety inspector happened to show up at that very moment and he was visibly nervous. A little insta karma |

I was just thinking about some things and I feel like I've got an invention that could probably make money but that I'd never actually bring to market or anything, so I'm shooting it here for suggestions. So there's these silica gel beads you can get for dehumidifying in your house, that change color when they're 'full', and then you can refresh them by putting them in an oven. But obviously when you do that you're driving the moisture out of the beads and back into your house so if you're trying for anything other than keeping a specific container dry you're shooting yourself in the foot when you do the refresh step. So I was thinking, obviously you want to do the 'refreshing' part outside. But you have to do it at a temperature between 200 and 250F, and mustn't go over, so you can't just like do it on a grill or something. But! A thing that gets to be that kind of temperature is pretty much any kind of half-assed solar oven. But the problem with that is, they can get a bit hotter, and if you go over temperature you can ruin the beads. So then the other thing the concept needs is a temperature sensor that blocks the reflectors (or activates a fan I guess) to keep the temperature below 250F, which is also what would make it a marketable product. The tricky part is figuring out a good way to do that - I think you could probably do something with a bimetal strip that physically triggers a mechanism, ideally, because this doesn't seem like something that really needs electronics, but you could also potentially include some very simple electronics and a small amount of photovoltaic to power them I suppose. Or maybe it could just be a manual setting, where you see how hot and sunny it is, and cover up an appropriate amount of the reflectors to keep the temperature from going over. Or maybe there's a temperature-sensitive pigment you could use to stop catching sunlight when over a temperature. Anyway, it looks like this is a product that you could sell, because you can for example sell 160g of silica beads for the price of 900g of identical silica beads if you put them in a tiny metal tin with holes in it so they look more like a product. Dessicant beads you can refresh for free without rehumidifying your house seems like a pretty good idea, especially given it's what I was looking for in the first place that led me to this train of thought. Edit: especially a good idea for RVs and campers, where humidity sucks and power is at a premium! |

It might have some use in an RV or something, but the usual way of dealing with the hot moist air you get from heating up the dessicant is to blow it outside or wherever though a duct using an extract fan or that sort of thing. Like, you have a rotating drum of dessicant, that has an intake for the humid air, and then as the drum rotates, it goes past a heater that releases the humidity into a separate duct, that then gets extracted elsewhere. It uses power, yeah, so there's that. |
