This seems to be a decent intro. Basically therapods, of which T-Rex was one, are ancestors of the birds.

I feel like that’s the same as saying people are toxic or socialisation is toxic. Yes, toxicity can exist online, it can also exist in the supermarket, at school, in a field miles away from anywhere. It’s just a facet of being with other humans.

Survival of the fittest just means the most adapted to the current environment. Our current environment has medicine so we’re adapted to that. If that suddenly changes then sure it would be an issue, but so would a climate difference of even a few degrees, a slight difference in the chemical make up of air, etc.

Where I’m from a sweatshirt is a very specific thing which doesn’t have a zip.

My dad never spent time with me because we didn’t share hobbies, I tried desperately as a kid to get into what he liked, but he never tried to get into what I liked. My mom knew the names of the kids on Barney, what snacks cheered me up, or what friends I had in school, my dad also lived in the house.

As adults we’ve found common ground in politics and TV, and we have a relationship now, but we’d have a much better relationship if he’d tried to hang out with me back then.

So I guess my advice is just hang out with her, whatever form that takes. Time is so important.

Kind of, but you don’t get to choose what it pulls, so unless you have an excess of every mineral then it’s going to make you deficient in something and then other things may not be affected at all.

No, it pulls everything out of your system and causes deficiencies. It shouldn’t be drunk at all.

Yes, sticking stuff in it makes it work, you can even get mineralising powders that put the minerals back in so say you don’t trust or like your tap water you can filter everything out and put the stuff you do like in

It’s worse than that, RODI water as it is just pure H2O it’s desperate to bond to anything it can so it grabs minerals from your body as it passes through.

Not attractive at all to me. I don’t mind if a guy is toned, but muscular is really unattractive to me. The thing with attraction is that it’s individual, and I know some women who would love this look, I tend to like geeky guys, but I have friends who like big guys, bald guys, short guys, skinny guys, attraction is just super individual.

If you touch food prior or during cooking then the cooking process is killing the bacteria. You shouldn’t really touch after but even in that situation a small amount of bacteria in food that’s about to be eaten isn’t the worst. The big issue is bacteria introduced to food which is then stored where the bacteria then grows over time.

My dogs understand “Right” as we’re going outside to wee, cause I’m like “Right, I’d best go to work” or “Right, It’s time for bed” which is followed by letting them out and then doing whatever.

I can’t see why not but I feel you should ask the insurer rather than us. Policies really vary and some have odd systems.

Should also mention, compare your trip insurance to annual. I went to the US earlier in the year and it was like £2 more to do a year of travel insurance than the US trip alone. Obviously travel insurance is more there than most places but it’s worth looking at.

You’ve just activated a form of PTSD in my brain. Stood next to someone and you see the box appear and they instantly click.

“What did that say?”

“Dunno”

Why click on it if you don’t know???

Absolutely. Plus we forget that dogs can be dangerous, I work in rescue and a lot of people will say a dog has “bit me out of nowhere!”

I can think of one dog that genuinely bit out of nowhere, and he had a health concern, all other dogs warn you a thousand times but the owner just hasn’t understood what their dog is saying.

You will find a more reliable sit by leading a dog into it rather than trying to move their body for them. The dog needs to move its own body in order for the movement and the word to join together in their brain.

Think about your own learning, is it better for you to learn a task by someone guiding your hands into position or is it better for them to model a behaviour and you to do it yourself? Which method means that you’ll remember tomorrow, next week, next month, etc?

A punishment is something unpleasant that creates the reaction you want. You’re saying you’re causing discomfort to your dogs neck in order to make them sit, that is by definition a punishment.

Socialisation is the most important thing you’ll do with a dog, even if they’re an adult you need to get them used to as many things as possible so they can live a calm life.

Learn dog body language, so many people get into issues because they can’t tell their dog is stressed, or in pain, This is my favourite guide, but you can also learn for free online.

If you’re causing your dog pain then you’re not training their minds and setting you both up for failure. Find a different way to get what you want.

Most issues people have with their dog is because they’re not getting the correct physical or mental exercise.

Understand the breed you have as it will teach you how to make your dog comfortable.

You realise thats a punishment?

I did IT support at one point, when they have an issue but don’t know what the box said you know you’re having a bad time!
