It's an inhaler corticosteroid and anti inflammatory often used for asthma but incredible for post infection cough.

If I'm ever sick and have a cough, this puts a stop to that symptom and recovery is so much faster. Don't even touch any over the counter cough medicine over this imo.

Yeah we need humanoid lizard people with chameleon eyes and tiny inconvenient T-Rex arms.

This is such a good reply! I didn't see it before I posted despite it being older, must have been a fedi hiccup.

Just because your parents have dogs doesn't mean they can offer a safe environment or know what to do with them. All the changes and the environment posed for your dog are incredibly stressful for the dog. Please be compassionate that your dog is going through more than you even though you literally broke your leg and probably experienced the worst pain in your life. Changes in living situations are the biggest adjustments for dogs ever.

Please don't listen to people suggesting anything with the word dominance, pack mentality, wolf study, punishment or anything forcefull. All of that is guaranteed to make things worse.

A certified trainer (CCPDT and the various acronyms associated, the dog academy, anyone force force free) will get you on course faster than any website or book.

If you want your dog to make it out of this, your dog has to be a priority, make it your part time job.

My quick advice if you can't afford a trainer and will only look up free internet advice from strangers:

Start with giving them something low value to chew on in a distraction free room. Have 10 minutes worth of super high value treats. When they are chewing the low value, walk up to them and give them the treat. Let them chew on the low value again. Repeat. Try for 10 minutes at a time. Adjust value of chew and treat so they don't react when you walk up to them.

Next session, If they start wagging their tail when you approach. Try making it harder by taking the item for 1 second then, give them the treat then give it back. Ramp up duration or value of chew and items as progress is made

All of this has to be a happy and joyful affair. You are using a happy and friendly puppy voice the whole time. The dog has to feel good about this the whole time. So make sure you and the dog are in as good of a place mentally when doing it. This will all be harder if the dog doesn't have other prerequisites like a leave it or drop it command.

There are so many ways you need to modify the above strategy for your particular dog that I can't stress enough how valuable you'll find a certified force free trainer to be. A vet check might also be suggested by the trainer. I think my advice is barely scratching the surface of what to do and how to do it, I haven't even met your dog so what do I even know? Very little!

If you need proof that force free methods are a way, the AVSAB statements are quick and easy to read with tonnes of source citations: https://avsab.org/resources/position-statements/

This is incorrect.

Every reputable source and organisation recognize this pack and dominance theory as an outdated idea, especially for human animal interactions.

The American vetinary society of animal behaviour has very direct and well written statements on that and where the ideas came from and what the modern solutions are.

Yeah! Who's getting more sad about getting socks every year? As soon as I moved out I started appreciating the gift 😃

If people ask for gift hints I often say "fun socks!"

So nutrek is an umbrella term for Discovery, Lower decks, SNW and Prodigy right? It's it common for people to hate all 4 with a passion? They're all sooooo different. I can get hating one, because they are all basically different genres.

I think people are afraid if they support one that they hate, then we'll get more of the same. So have a knee jerk reaction to be toxic when their hated show is discussed. The irony being that historically star trek is a show that seeks to show an example of interpersonal harmony. These people do want an outlet to discuss their grievances about the shows but mostly see that outlet when someone mentions the show because they love it.

If someone hates all 4, they must be pretty deep into some extreme ideology that somehow doesn't conform with all of Star Trek.

Maybe startrek.website needs a neutral zone that only allows constructive criticism but still provides an outlet for these feelings. 😅

Edit- I forgot Picard existed, whoops!

Expanse did it well too. There is a character that uses different pronouns, and people just used the right pronouns for them. Thats it. Boom representation achieved.

Now I get that trills were used to stealthily start trying to get trans and gender queer screentime in a very hostile 90s era.

In discovery, Adiras coming out had to once again be aided with the framing of the trill.

Adira had to loudly declare their preferred pronouns in the deep future when all of this was supposed to be no big deal.

It would have been so intelligent if they were just called by their pronouns and were just treated like any other character.

I understood the writers managed to get a coming out story that a lot of people can relate to. But in the future people should just be, and not need to come out.

People who love coffee brew it themselves. They don't need to endure long lines and wait for some poorly treated minimum-wage employees to burn it for them.

I suspect coffee preferences, whether someone makes it for them or not, might be down to whether their place of work is conducive for even making coffee. Perhaps there are socioeconomic lines as well that divide people. Do most people feel the need to have their coffee made for them at a fast-food establishment?

God, I loved its brand of sci-fi weirdness. Season 2 was extra strange, and I was here for it.

I was sad it got cancelled, but I knew the world wasn't ready for it

Am I missing out on some fantastic space shows and movies? I watched the expanse as it came out, the same with Orville. What else is there that suggests market saturation? I need some good stuff this winter 😊

I can't remember who said this in the show in Universe; maybe Janeway? But I think a similar question was posed, and the answer was that nobody would have anything to do if exploration was entirely automated. It's fun and exciting and gives people's lives meaning.

My headcanon is that many mundane things are automated, and we don't see them because they aren't plot-relevant.

Awe, and it's so respectful to the bats, too; it's sweet to hear.

This is cool. I use an app a lot like this but for my puppy. Logging is super helpful at the start of getting a puppy and trying to track bowel habits and training progress.

If you ever feel like it, a mode for tracking puppies is useful. I currently use "Doggy Time" by a developer that also makes a similar baby tracker.

Perhaps we will be to our descendents as the first tetrapods are to us.

Not the worst thing to happen to a species, seems to happen to all of them.

I got a great new story once these clicks dry up: "Expensive disposable fork thrown out a little earlier than forecasted"

I'm not a fan of Elon but low Earth orbit satellites by nature are meant to de-orbit. Yes they cause astronomy light pollution but cannot cause Kessler syndrome since their orbit is temporary from the start. Being so low there is atmospheric drag, which sometimes slows objects more than predicted.

Making news of this is like being shocked that infrastructure undersea cables and communication lines are falling apart and being replaced. It's a fact of life.

Why should these things be free? The other things we get for free on the web are either supported by donations or they harvest something from you that's valuable and sell it, that's not free either.

I'm into the idea of paying for higher quality services and have enjoyed my kagi trial. Might see if I can find someone to split an account with.

If it's not annoying I could probably use a spare old phone exclusively for android auto. But unfortunately I'm still entrenched in Google services. Slowly dragging myself out.

I'm still desperately in love with android auto. I'd still need a phone with full android permissions and functionality. So graphene is still out.

That's really cool they smoothed the install process like that. Might try that on my old pixel as a travel phone.

I understand one can flash a pixel. I never want to install another rom again though. I want to buy it and have it become my daily driver with android auto and communication apps within a few hours. I have found the ROM scene to be an enormous time commitment that I no longer want to fiddle with.
