The cellulose aka fibre is useful for them too, for the same reason as us, even if there are not many calories or other nutrients available. Dry food, bones, high protein diets can all benefit from a bit of bulk. I've been told that wi

We minded a labrador once (notorious appetites), he'd eat capsicums, and on the neighbourhood walks would even go for raw green olives that fell from trees onto the paths. I'm pretty sure they are very bitter which sensible animal

Hah we actually did... the younger border collie also does it, but less. Maybe he's copying his brother from another mother.

I'd considered the dog eating grass thing as more of a now-disputed myth, but maybe someone has evidence. Either way my own dog loves munching on the taller/thicker grass every time we walk, like he's a sheep. His favourite f

If you're there for a while, you'll need to adapt anyway since your biorhythms will too. But there are plenty of other cases like a reminder to check something after dinner, or my standard wake-up alarm in the morning. Or if I pla

Oh yes true. Somehow I missed that important detail.

I'm with them, I don't enjoy those scenes (in general - haven't seen the one in question). Not because I'm a prude, I just find them a little boring and they usually take too long - and often are immersion breaking thems

Based on my past role, you can't even assume UTF-8 when the file says it's UTF-8. Clients would constantly send CSV or other files with an explicit BOM or other marking indicating UTF-8 but the parser would choke since they just o

It depends on the domain. If you are writing calendar software, it is legitimate to have "floating time" i.e. your medication reminder is at 7pm every day, regardless of time zone, travel, or anything else. Unfortunately Google an

It really depends on what the code variation is, and it can often be a code smell, but I like just adding a flag to the method for simpler cases of this. No complexity or overhead, easy to reason and debug, and you can retain the current me

You need to present a business case. Offer to give up the coffee.

It probably is here too, but people tend to self regulate a little better I think. The rules help a lot too.

It definitely started years ago, probably around the time I really started using it. I visit /r/games sometimes and they have stickies around what you have been playing or game suggestions and without fail someone doesn't eve

Did you work out why you have the insomnia? I just got a referral to a psych that I haven't booked yet, and I believe mine is low-level anxiety based. I can be incredibly tired but my brain keeps turning around what-if scenarios in my

People who seem to want to be offended. I hate the /s they've adopted. It ruins the joke by explaining it. I dislike the implication sarcasm cannot be conveyed via text. Hundreds of years of authorship and numerous popular works

Largely the same here. Feel like I noticed a further decline in quality on the site after that happened too. It is useful for news aggregation but I don't like the discussion as much. But that could just be the trend continuing.

I had a similar issue when Uber was newer (I don't think they had XL) at SFO, the guy showed up in a little car, and was SHOCKED, SHOCKED, that we had LUGGAGE! At the AIRPORT! He did not want that on his nice seat, and the trunk would

Regulation is very lax here. Plenty of stories. The most basic being they won't unlock the door when you flag them until hearing where you are going - legally they have to take ALL rides unless they are in a shift changeover. If it&#x2

Buses can be problematic if you're not used to landmarks. Train will be around $15 (there is an airport surcharge). I'd pay a few more dollars (the actual rate, not the ripoff rate) for point-to-point too as a local if I had more

I guess it depends what you make it of, doesn't it? Growing up I had a typical corrugated roller door, it was very easy for me as a kid to open it with some of the weight supported by the roller. I think they have springs but they&#x27

From the perspective of the programmer, true. Not necessarily from the perspective of the manager/customer, who can say in broad terms what needs to be done, and the programmer-black-box spits something out.

It's my favourite part, except maybe debugging. I really like getting into the guts of an issue and working out why it happens which I suppose will be around for a while yet with AI code. It's a lot less fun with transient network

Interesting, I searched and that seems accurate, it doesn't seem to be the case here in AU though from what I've seen.

Ultimately, if it were a severe problem, wouldn't insurance premiums reflect this?

I had the opposite problem - we received a card that we didn't activate (basically, lapsed account, being young and too lazy to close it). They let someone in the USA (we are in Australia) pay a Netflix subscription with it. This was n

I'm not familiar with the articles but where I live it wouldn't be surprising for an elderly person to have a million dollar home and not much free cash, since they bought and paid it off decades ago. So that is 'wealth'

I think this might be what you are talking about? Back in 2019 Trump issued an ultimatum (one of many) to the United Postal Union to get fairer rates for this in particular. It seems to have stuck so they're not quite as cheap as befor

There's also a thing lately where link targets posted on New Reddit (I assume, since mine aren't doing this) are all lower cased, while the link text is correct as you typed. This breaks the links for some sites. In addition to th
