I’ve interacted with less than 100 but the highly trained pit mix rescue across the street still broke her leash, ran down my corgi and picked her up and shook her. The owner tackled her and our corgi was mostly ok (needed stitches on her neck, but no life threatening injury) and the owner readily payed the bill directly, but t by that dog had had months of interventional training by no-expense-spared training and still went nuts on a dog on the street across from its house.
nilloc@discuss.tchncs.deto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Trump Voter Gets Choked Up After ICE Detains a Third of His StaffEnglish3·7 days agoSetting B-net on ski race courses is like this. 10 minutes in and you’re sweating bullets, strip down to undershirt layer.
We’ve also had to fully shovel 1.5km of course when 8-10 inches of snow fell the night before. On top of the exertion, you’re literally wasting a powder day. The snow cats can’t groom it because the course will be too soft, and when it’s that cold we can’t salt the course either, so it’s shoveling and slipping (using your skis like snow plows) the course.
I have to bring a second or third dry layer because after the setup we have to stand around in the subzero temp for the next 5-7 hours no matter the weather (winds can be insane as long as it’s not enough to shut down the lifts, but it’s better than rain or sleet).
Then we gotta take it all down.
And I do this for $80 a day and free passes for my kids and I. Still better than roofing by immeasurable amounts.

It would last all day on a charge and he was building our app with it (Xcode and I think clang builds).
This was 10 years ago though.

At least they could be offsetting some of the environmental costs of sprawl.
Plus the electricity production should offset it in a few years, especially in the places wheee shaded parking is most desirable.
nilloc@discuss.tchncs.deto News@lemmy.world•40 Monkeys on the loose in SC after escaping research facilityEnglish1·7 months agoI was thinking like a paraquel. Where the second movie takes place at the same time, but from completely different perspectives.
Would be cool to highlight people with main character mentality.
nilloc@discuss.tchncs.deto World News@lemmy.world•Japan plans ‘conveyor belt road’ linking Tokyo and Osaka amid delivery driver shortageEnglish1·7 months agoI’m still annoyed that solar frickin’ parking lots (canopies, not panels on the ground) aren’t mandated in all new lots.
With all the mandated parking on the sprawl we could probably solve at least EV charging anxiety. And with some grid storage it would make a perfect use of otherwise wasted land. Plus keep the cars parked underneath cool.
I wonder how many 2 item lists have been sorted that way IRL.
That one’s weird though, because they cherry pick the parts they like. So it’s a weird Baptist/catholic/born again bullshit.

Our 2000ish GEs are swappable. Same with my moms more recent LG. I had to swap hers because hers because the hookups were right to left (just makes the most sense in her laundry/mud room.

Not to mention the fact that it was 16 years ago when he was elected. I in college for the 2000 election and have been watching the slide since it was stolen. I told myself that we could swing back when Obama was elected, and thought we’d be ok last night too.
