Pets to your kid I can understand. My cats are on the way out (one passed this year and the other is 16 and not in good health).
My kid is already asking for a dog. I know if I gift a dog it's actually on me to look after it. Gifting to someone who isn't a minor or outside your household though? That's a shitty move
Might be a stupid idea, but maybe a cable that extends 12ft down and releases the object at ground level or close to, then retracts to the drone. Surely they have thought of this though
We added some small wood pieces under the front feet to do this. Solved a lot of marriage problems with this one simple trick that actually works. Number 2 will shock you.
Would you like to buy the single use plastic water to provide safe drinking water to people? No.
How about make a donation to starving kids? No.
How about buying these socks to support shelter for some country? No.
Are you a member? No. Would you like to be a member? No.
Would you...... "NO. JUST LET ME PAY FOR MY T SHIRT"
I hate them because I have a toddler and making sure they don't run off, move things from the scale, grab candy from the very child friendly height displays, all while trying to scan and bag my groceries.
At staff checkouts we load on conveyor belt together. I can keep control of my child. And then we leave.
I hate self serve. Staffed checkouts are much more relaxed for me. I did like self serve better before kids though.
They effectively have been abolished at mine. 30+ self serve, occasionally they have someone, but don't start until a hour after opening time, it's only 1 person. They don't cover breaks, so just close staffed check out then. Sometimes they are doing other jobs and you have to stand at the checkout for them to come over and open it up for you.
They are definitely discouraging it and make you feel like you are being difficult if you want to use them.
A postmortem change resulting in the stiffening of the body muscles.
Basically when you have been dead for a little while, you stay in the position you are in. So a seated dead body went stiff on the drive to the hospital and stayed in that position even when taken out of the car.
We split an account between 4 households, paying a quarter each. When the crackdown happened, 2 including my house cancelled and the 3rd paid for the extra user. So they halved their users from our account, but increased revenue anyway. Seems like a win for them.
I started voting conservative at 18, because my parents did and I didn't know who to vote for (we have compulsory voting in my country). Swapped to the other side late 20s and now mid 30s I can't see it changing anytime soon.
Our pickup, you can push the gear stick left and it becomes basically manual with no clutch. You tell it to change gears and it will except when it says "no" ie high speeds and you ask to change down a gear when it's high revs in current gear, it beeps at you and won't change.
We've found that more than adequate for towing a 19ft caravan.
No Cairns is not a high risk area for bush fires (what we call wildfires). The heat this year might be horrible but fires shouldn't be an issue that far into the tropics on the coastline
Maybe it's different in the USA, but I've travelled a lot and don't think I ever remember a long haul flight without multiple babies and young children. It's just a fact of travelling.
I recently did a 16hr flight solo and the other 3 seats in my row of 4 were parents and a toddler.
That's just part of flying and you should plan for it (noise cancelling headphones, sleeping tablets, ear plugs).
I wish they wouldn't shine light on it
