Omega mart in Las Vegas might come close?

Can't think of large scale ones unless you include the rest of Las Vegas.

As cute as that sounds, for dogs, reducing separation anxiety is counterintuitive.

The more emotional both departing and returning is. The more it hurts them when you leave, the more separation anxiety develops.

In an ideal world, when you leave your dog for the day, saying nothing when going and a professionally distant "greetings puppy" when you return will reduce anxiety for a dog when left alone. This doesn't work by itself; you have to teach them to be alone slowly and carefully.

Speaking of Pavlov, this exact tightening of a leash can lead to leash reactivity in a dog.

Leashes are a form of confinement for a dog, and without proper counter condition they can associate pulling or tightening a leash with negative feelings and can then apply those negative feelings to what they are seeing when pulling.

For example, you're walking your dog on a leash and your dog sees another dog and wants to be with them therefore pulls. Pulling feels restrictive and eventually starts feeling bad when it sees other dogs while on the leash. These negative feelings can turn into aggression.

The way to avoid this is to find a high value thing that can be used to redirect the dogs attention in these situations. Usually treats. When you have training time try other exercises like pattern games: place a high value treat 20 meters away, walk with the dog on the leash towards the item they want. If they pull say "oopsie" in a happy tone and walk back to the start. They only get the treat if they walk by your side all the way to the object. The dog will quickly learn the pattern and will get a great reward for following the pattern. With enough training and exposure to new distractions with positive reinforcement they will be able to walk by your side no problem. Only do this exercise if you're able to do it without stressing yourself or the dog. Also, don't take internet advice, it's best to get a trainer. Look for force free group training if your on a tight budget!

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!"

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.

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.

The same behavior happened when sync came out. Endless complaints about an app being from on app store with the option to pay the hard working developer for their work.

Do they go on public transit complaining that see ads there too? At least when you pay for the app the ads go away forever.

Common sense is waiting for an official diagnosis from a certified professional investigating the actual body for the cause of death.

Not speculation from people on the internet that haven't even seen the body.

I've read all the responses here and am horrified that you seem to live in an ungrounded plastic bubble. Is that a Canberra thing? Or can't even find a small metal object the size of a coin to make discharging painless, how why?

If it's an old house there should be tonnes of metal things to touch.

Corners of walls, radiators or central air vents or return air vents, screws on switches or power outlets, furniture with metal bits on it, sinks taps and water fixtures with metal parts, thermostat, fireplace casing.

Literally touch everything and report back.

Thank fuck for this ai summary, it took seconds to read. I opened the video just to see how long it would take to watch it. 5 minutes of life would be gone, god damn it.

I'm saddened at the amount of uncivilized discourse going on in this thread.

You can actually talk about these bugs and development with the developer on discord, and also submit reports and suggestions on GitHub.

Saying things like "fuck this" and "uninstalling" about a beta that has had at least 2 versions updated today is the same kind of useless discourse I'd expect with failed protests on Reddit.

Here is a more civilized critique of one of the gdpr functions on GitHub. https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/200

Perhaps you can make a new issue about a reject all button as well.

Edit- this response is to the commenters here, not op. OP made a well formatted and polite issue on GitHub.

I definitely prefer premium over my personal data being the product for "free".

As I get older I'm appreciating paid electronic services and content when done responsibly in exchange for a private ad-free and well done experience. But it's taking a lot to get over my decades of conditioning assuming everything on a computer and internet should be "free".

I've enjoyed my kagi premium search trial and seeing the prices is a bit much. But getting really good search results and having the webpage or search run so fast and seeing my ad blocker greyed out because there were no ads and trackers to block is surreal this day and age.

I just wish we had a better way of trusting telegram. The only thing encrypted by default is secret chats. I'd buy premium if it made all chats including group chats started by the user encrypted by default.
