tbh so i was reading about canine behavioral patterns and i stumbled upon this thing called separation anxiety disorder (sad) which is pretty common in dogs, esp labradors like mine apparently its caused by the dog feeling distressed when theyre away from their owner, which makes sense cuz my dog gets super whiny and destructive when im not home has anyone else dealt with this? how did you handle it? i tried crate training with my lab but it didnt seem to work that well

I've been trying to train my dog to walk on a leash for weeks now, and it's been a real challenge. She's a strong-willed one, always pulling on the leash and trying to go her own way. But today was a breakthrough - we managed to walk around the block without her pulling too much. I think the key was using a harness instead of a collar, it seemed to make her more comfortable. Still a lot of work to be done, but it's a start.

tbh rn i'm trying to make a decent dog portrait in krita using my gaomon pd1161 and it just looks like i asked a 5 yr old to paint it... i've tried adjusting the stabilizers, switching brushes, even used a tablet preset for my cintiq... still looks like crap imo. anyone else have this prob?? i'm on krita 4.4.2, anyone know if 4.5 fixes this??

I'm thinking of getting a dog but I don't have a huge yard or tons of free time. I've heard some breeds are easier to care for than others. What's a good low-maintenance breed that still needs some exercise but won't destroy my apartment if left alone for a few hours?

So I was playing Settlers of Catan last night with a new group. Halfway through the second round, someone starts claiming the rule about trading is different. They say you can trade with anyone, not just neighbors. I tried to point out the rulebook, but they just laughed and kept trading. Now the game is a mess. Anyone else deal with rule‑changing players? Why do people think they can rewrite the rules on the fly? It's not a free‑form game, it's a structured one. If you want to play a casual game, just stick to the official rules or don't play at all.

Got the X-3000 kit, but the latency between sensor array and the timer is off...

I was thrilled to finally assemble the full setup: sensor array, infrared trigger, GPS tether, hydraulic shock absorption.

The kit’s specs promise < 50 ms sync, yet I’m seeing ~120 ms lag.

Any tips on calibration or firmware tweaks?

Also, any other clubs using the X-3000? I'd love to compare notes.

Thanks in advance!!

I'm sitting here thinking about my favorite hobby, firearms and target shooting. I feel like it's something that's often misunderstood. People hear the word 'guns' and they instantly think negative thoughts. But for me, it's a passion. I love the focus, the skill, and the community that comes with it. I've been shooting for years, and it's something that helps me relax and unwind. I'm not sure what it is about being out on the range, shooting targets, that just clears my head. Maybe it's the mix of concentration and repetition. Whatever it is, it works. And I feel like that's something that's worth talking about. There's more to firearms and target shooting than what you see in the media. It's not all about violence and aggression. For a lot of us, it's about sport, camaraderie, and self-improvement. I just wish more people could see that side of it. I'd love to hear from others who share my passion, or maybe even those who are just curious about it. What do you think?

Imo Cushing's is 23% overbreedin + 77% bad vet advice. Same for cinnamon Linux 5. Both are time bombs... who else had Berners with issues by y7 and cinnamon breaks every other major distrowin3????...

The collar boots to the debug menu and throws "E302S3" before any metrics begin to capture.

Things I've tried so far:

• Reset via the reset button for 30s, then powered off.
• Fully charged a 72V 1500mAh supply (inlay charging cap now > 10.3V).
• Firmware updated to latest version 3.15.
• Synthetically warmed the unit to room temp 21C (using external 22°C heat pad), error still present.

Likely suspect: overheating of internal SOC under GPS/Power spike, flagged by error code "E302S3" (SOC thermal cut‑out). The device has a thermal profile for 6 minutes before stalling. I started at high latitude / sunrise angle – battery gauge near 51%. I use a “GCP-3500” battery with heat shimming, so I've disabled the shimming, but that hasn’t helped. I'm unsure whether the internal CO₂ sensor's firmware also triggers the cutout.

Would appreciate someone who built or patched that SOC model to know if there’s a known patch or voltage cutoff? Additionally, any nuance around "thermal compensation code" values in the spec would help narrow down if it’s firmware or hardware.

P.S. This came after running an uphill test in Pine Ridge Park, and the device tries to gauge trotted steps from a 45% gradient – might that be triggering a hidden loop? Thoughts? 🙂

I pulled an empty cardboard pack from the kitchen drawer and dug up the retail receipts the last time the shop ran a deep clean of their display area.

A quick scan of the micro‑print at the bottom of the sealed bag showed:

• Royal Canin Purine‑Low: Product #RCG‑800‑ST, Batch 220412
• 02–09/26, 90% of units shipped between December 10 and January 3 this year.
• Ingredients listed in packaging: 18 % crushed salmon, 1 % fish bones, 12 % other fish meal.

The receipts also capture an electronic code that identifies exactly which warehouse stored the 27th of the batch. When I compared that code (ALPHA‑WD‑78C) to the local distributor inventory files, I saw it flagged under "Fish Protein & Mineral Additions" – exactly the area they claim to have removed due to Purine restrictions.

Long‑running customers often put it forward as the one Purine‑safe product in the U‑shaped 450‑gm packs. The receipts list an ingredient note

"All protein from processed animal food (see FAQ). Note – The product may still contain bone fragments. Lab tests show up to 5 g/L for some older batches (see docs)."

Hence, this was not a subtle slip: an obvious note telling every shopper that " bone fragments may be present," in a section with the main Purine‑Warning color. What’s worse, the packaging underlines the 9‑th subheading twice to pass off the phrase "Purine Low".

• 📁 Attachment: Screenshot of receipt back, product label scan, and micro‑print 1900–2600 character box.

Bottom line—You’ll read this at home to decide whether it’s actually safe. If it truly qualifies as Purine‑Low in FDA terms, you might look at those figures before splurging.

Any members still taking this to all dogs with kidney conditions, is anyone still turning a blind eye while reading that bold line? If someone sees anything not in the paper, post those facts, but stick to receipts—don't blur.

Anyone had real‑world numbers lately?

(P.S. That bit about fish bone chips…you’ll recognise it in a good supermarket’s shelf audit.)
