My dog refuses to eat his kibble
  • But what if our political viewpoints are ideologically opposed? I've had this problem with one of my pups in the past and it was a difficult conversation to navigate as he is an adamant supporter of post-colonial nationalism and I prefer a more transnationalist approach to global politics.

    How do you recommend approaching that subject?

    Seriously, thanks for making me laugh I needed that today.

  • 'It's inhumane.' Despite how hot it is, Tennessee renters don't have a right to air conditioning
  • I think we got lazy with our designs once centralized air was mainstreamed. The house my father grew up in the 1950s was designed like you mentioned. It would only allow light through during certain times of year/day with its overhanges and louvers and it jad more windows which allow more air flow....now according to him it was still a miserable place to live during the 1950s Texas summers....

  • Oncor Electric Delivery Charges $50?
  • I seem to remember having an Oncor delivery charge when I lived in the city. I'm on a municipal electric grid now so instead I have an ambiguous "Customer Charge" for $20. I also just discovered they add a "Round Up" charge to get it to the nearest dollar I'll be looking further into the legality of.

    Thanks for making me look at my electric bill closer.

  • Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom
  • I can only speak for Texas, but those stand alone "emergency rooms" are more of a scam than anything else. This year we had one refuse to assist my father (who was alone at the time) while he was having a stoke, instead the staff instructed him to get back into his car and drive to an actual hospital...while still having a stroke!

    It sounds like many of the places in Texas mentioned in the article are those "emergency rooms". We saw a hugh influx of those crappy places several years ago when they changed some rules regarding insurance. Its all a money grab.

  • 'Psychic' conman jailed for swindling 1.3m Americans
  • Runner has denied breaking the law, saying in a 2023 interview with Walrus Magazine that "maybe it's not moral, maybe it's bullshit... But it doesn't mean it's fraud".

    I think that defines fraud...not moral and bullshit, involving money.

  • Car-size asteroid discovered 2 days ago flies 30 times closer to Earth than the moon
  • I'm not up to date on the latest elephant measuring units but we're talking at lease 7.8million horse lengths away of that helps.

    If you're looking for greater accuracy we can always convert that to badgers with a simple formula.
