I can tell you, I had 4 military dogs in my platoon, they are strict with dog handlers and working dogs. The dogs also had AC kennels, dog booties, dog sunglasses, ice vests and short working hours. A lot of money goes into training these dogs and they are an invaluable asset to the members in their unit. They did get royal treatment, but it’s needed to keep them safe and happy.

I read it costs approximately 15k to train a service dog. Considering military dogs have much more training, I’m sure it is a very big investment. I’ve seen videos of military dogs in action and my mind is blown every time!

Something people who abuse animals don’t think about: If the handler mistreats their dog, then long before their CO discovers it, the dog can pay them back by NOT detecting the landmine that directly in their path. Too bad the dog can’t talk and make that threat when the handler raises a hand to them. Same goes for any animal being mistreated.

The fact that they have to do it at all is the problem. Abusers should be treated harshly.

There is no assumption that the handler will ever abuse the dog. It is just some thing someone at some point settled on, and so it is. And everyone is fine with it because soldiers would rather the dog be their senior than many humans.

Sooooo this means that military personnel can abuse others ranked LOWER than them without consequence?

No what it means, is that the dog is treated with the respect that comes from their rank. If a higher ranking person abuses a lower ranking person, they can get anything from an Article 15 (basically a misdemeanor) to a Court Martial (basically a felony). If a military dog is mistreated by his handler, the same applies. Usually if the handler mistreated the dog, the dog has their own ways of getting even, and the dog could be reassigned to another handler. Then the handler will be investigated and could have charges brought against them.

Wouldn't that mean they can't order the dog to do things? I doubt there would be a lot of intentional abuse either way. I've known cops with active and retired dogs, only met a couple of military dogs - but in all cases it seemed like the owners / handlers genuinely cared about them. One could argue the bigger "abuse" comes from just doing their job. Attack people, find explosives and so on. Obviously it depends on what tasks the individual dog is trained for.

Dog handler programs are incredibly tough to get into. A lot of people want in, but it's super selective, and there is a lot of psychological testing involved to ensure that the person will work well with the animal and treat them kindly. I know people who tried for a decade or more to get into police or military dog handler programs.

    Yes,it's true. Our rescue pit bull mix W***y died in June. I called Chewy to.cancel his medication order and ended up on the phone with a customer representative for an hour telling her all about him and crying. Chewy sent flowers a day or so later with a caring note from the Chewy family and the representatives name on it as well.i had no idea they would do those things. So unexpected and wonderful!

    They are even better than that. My friend's husband (also my friend) died suddenly and I took in their dogs for a period of time. Grieving, and now with 5 dogs and very little food I called Chewy to see how fast it could be delivered. I was shocked to receive flowers from them. They are the most incredible company with very caring employees.

    This is true, when we lost our cat the day I placed an order, I called to try and cancel it before it shipped but it was too late, they told me to donate the food and reimbursed me. The beautiful bouquet came when I least expected and it brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face for the first time in a week since she passed. I was able to donate the food to the shelter we adopted her from. Recommended Chewy to every pet owner I know!

    Many of us love diving into intriguing facts and uncovering the secrets of the world around us. And while that’s great, wouldn’t it be fascinating to discover new things about the planet we call home? There are so many aspects of Earth that make it endlessly fascinating.

    For instance, Earth’s insides aren’t solid; they have a gooey, semi-solid consistency thanks to intense heat and pressure. This “squishy” mantle lets the Earth’s crust shift around, leading to all those plate tectonics, volcanic eruptions, and the occasional earthquake.

    That would truly make “trickle down economics” work. Too bad all wealthy people want to do is make even more money they’ll never be able to spend, and expand out to buying s much power and clout they can, instead of funneling a healthy percentage of their wealth to those less fortunate. You know, if life has been that good to you, instead of hoarding it, you should be paying it forward by sharing it at every opportunity, so life can be good to others who didn’t have your advantages and plain old good dumb luck.

    Zlatan ibrahimovic did something similar. He was asked to donate a shirt to be auctioned to help fund something. He said what use is a shirt, how much do you need, and covered the entire cost. But I agree the obscenely wealthy should donate far more of their money to help others. These amounts are a tiny drop in the ocean of their wealth

    Not hating on the act. This is amazing. But the scale at which the wealthy could do good and choose not to is infuriating. At $83K, a person of this wealth could do this 10x per year, every year, and the $830K would be a rounding error in their net income. Wealthy people do draw dropping generous stuff all the time, but our economy is so jacked up, it's still such a negligible part of their net worth. Mackenzie Scott has it right.

I applaud Cristiano and hope his actions will spur on more of the same. I for a fact know there are many more like him though we don't hear about it as they don't seek the spotlight for their actions.

It’s not just the coldest place on Earth, with temperatures plunging to a jaw-dropping -89.2°C, but also the windiest, with gusts hitting over 320 km/h.

    Antarctica also boasts the biggest ice sheet on the planet, packed with an astonishing 30 million cubic kilometers of ice. This means that any changes in the ice sheet can have a ripple effect on global sea levels and ocean currents.

    I got a dog food a shelter 2 yrs ago. Got her home, was coming in the door and I think my sons cat scared her because she backed up and pulled out of the harness I had put on her. She was running around my car and my other sons truck and decided to go into the kennel. I grabbed the bucket to clean it and give her water and some food. I had an appt and had to go pick my son up from the hospital. When we got home she had pushed out a section of the chain link and took off. We looked for her and I put food out for about 8 mos. We went and got her brother hoping she wouldn't be scared and I could get her. We literally hadn't seen her in over a year when the shelter called me saying they had her and did I want her. She was covered in huge matts and about 50 ticks. I slowly used scissors and my dog razor for several days before I was able to give her a bath. She was gone for 2 years and was trapped near my house....she is out miracle pup.

    I wonder how long ago this was, because in recent years Mark Hamill charges fans high fees for autographs (when he didnt in the past), has insulted fans to their faces at signing events, and has become known as a pretty mean person in his older age. Quite different than the Mark Hamill seen in the 80s and 90s and even early 2000s

    The moon is drifting away at a slow but steady pace from our planet—about 4 centimeters per year! This happens because the moon’s gravity pulls on Earth’s oceans, creating a watery bulge on the side that faces it.

    This bulge then pulls back on the moon, causing it to move a bit farther away each year. While we might not see the difference day to day, over millions of years, this gentle shift can have some pretty intriguing effects on how quickly the planet spins. Can you imagine having just 200 days in a year?

    Dogs have also developed that laughing/smiling facial expression by observing their humans. Bared teeth in the animal world usually means aggression, not happiness, so wild animals do not smile. But a domesticated companion animal like a dog would come to understand that bared teeth in humans is a good thing, so when they’re around us they mimic the look, counterintuitive as it is for an animal.

    1 year ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    It goes deeper than that; selective breeding plays a big part. We are more inclined to breed pets from the friendliest animals, and dogs that have a natural inclination to 'smile' are more likely to produce young that do the same. This is why more dogs today 'smile' than ever before.

    We breathe in oxygen, but did you know our atmosphere is a blend of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and a dash of other gases like argon and carbon dioxide? This atmospheric shield doesn’t just keep us breathing; it also keeps our climate in check, shields us from the sun’s harsh rays, and burns up most meteoroids before they can crash into us.

    Oooh! THAT's where they are!!! I'm on the mainland, so I'm like 'whaaat... where are these wolves?' Cool. I'd probably pee myself if I saw one (Wolves. Big. biiig... ), yet still would be glad I got to see one.

    Just as tigers have swimming skins (direct translate from german "Schwimmhäute") between their fingers and toes, these might become the first of their branch to evolve such. Would be cool to see, but I guess I won't be around another few hundred wolfs' generations...

    The Atacama Desert in South America is considered to be the driest place on our planet. Stretching over 100,000 square kilometers, it barely gets a sprinkle of rain each year, less than 1 mm.

    It’s so parched because it’s tucked in a rain shadow behind the Andes mountains, surrounded by the chilly Humboldt Current, and it doesn’t get any moisture from the winds. However, this arid wonderland is home to some pretty impressive plants and critters that have figured out how to thrive despite the extreme dryness.

    Old but the same situation. Brandon Lee, son of martial artist Bruce Lee (in case you live under a rock and don't know who that is) came home to a robber being in his house. He chased the robber around the house, the robber took a knife from the kitchen. Brandon took the knife away and got a little scar on his thumb (in the clip he can't see where it was, so probably on the smaller side) the robber landed in the hospital and then jail for 2years. Again from the clip, Brandon amuses himself with excatly how the robber didn't realise whos house he robbed, because he had several big poster of him and his father TOGHETER on the walls. Source: https://youtu.be/AGt4WHWeK84?si=WDAzrneQ5WjxKoTt RIP Brandon Lee, gone to soon and mentioned alot right now with the remake of The Crow.

    Little known fact... Donnie Yen's mum made him also learn to play cello as he was doing his martial arts training. She didn't want him hanging with a rough crowd, and she wanted him to learn a discipline that did not involve violence. She also insisted he maintain high grades. Perhaps that sounds demanding, but she raised a good man.

    Some guys tried to mug Chuck Norris. He warned them, they persisted, when the cops arrived, Chuck was casually leaning against the wall and the muggers were in VERY bad shape. From what I heard, which could be an exaggeration, bones were showing and the cops laughed when the muggers said they thought it was all fake Hollywood stuff.

    I think any animal that dreams, including humans, mostly dream about things that are in their world. It's the brain processing the various thoughts and experiences and sorting memories and such. I assume it would be similar for animals. Pets may have "lesser" brains but they still process stuff and tuck it away. Hence the reason an abused dog learns to be skiddish or a trained dog or horse remembers tricks and jumps and gaits.

    Earth’s inner core is like a giant ball of fire buried deep beneath our feet, with temperatures sizzling between 5,000 and 7,000 degrees Celsius (that’s 9,000 to 13,000 degrees Fahrenheit!). That is considerably hotter than the surface of the sun. So, while we might be enjoying a sunny day, down below, Earth is cooking up something even hotter.

    One time, I was at a family reunion in a small park in a random suburb in Melbourne and there were a couple of Storm Troopers nearby. I don't know what they were doing, they didn't seem to have cameras and there were no other people with them. I never asked them why they were there, so now it's just this weird memory I have no explanation for.

    It's possible they were fans attending a media SF con. Many people who do that make fantastic costumes for the enjoyment of it. They were probably sight seeing in between sessions.

    Disney have money, but they don't just give out unlimited money to all their projects. A basic rule of movie and TV production is that, whatever the budget, you will always run up against it.

    Liz Baraza, who was murdered in 2019 in front of her home, was a member of the 501st. Not only was her costume 100% made by her (per 501st membership requirements) she visited local hospitals in her storm trooper gear to cheer up sick & dying children. A real life Disney Princess...

    My parents are boomer's and when you had a baby back in the 70's when my brother and I were born the mother gave up work there was no maternity leave. So my dad was working 12 hour days to pay the bills and mortgage. He never changed a nappy but that doesn't mean he was a deadbeat dad he was just a hard working dad.

    I think we are technically millennials... my husband stayed home after my maternity leave and slept with my son on his chest every night, on the couch, just so I could sleep, work full time and pump breast milk. Baby #2 had health issues and he again stayed home and was the only one who could calm her. Now they are older and I went to part time and he went back to full time and its a joint effort.

    my father was born in 1936 and in 1962 he was the first man in our village to go for a walk with a sister in a baby carriage. he changed diapers and cooked. many men of his generation didn't think he was a real man. he trained as a locksmith and worked as a foreman in an industrial company, but because he also looked after us children, he wasn't a real man in the eyes of many other men. by the way, he was born in germany and we lived in east germany. his brother did the same thing, but he lived in a town where it wasn't as noticeable as in a village.

    That’s so cute 😊 my grandma forgot my address once so she simply addressed a parcel “(my name) at (my previous place of work) in (my town).” I live in such a small town that the postal workers recognized who I was and somehow knew I’d actually changed jobs. Found the parcel sitting at my desk at my new job when I went into work the next day. Love small communities for that kind of stuff.

She warned me that she wasn't the greatest housekeeper (she was right), but that's not why I was there. She has two little dogs, Daisy & Lilly. Lovely creatures. Daisy immediately took a liking to me. You know what? The house smelled of dog and I was covered in pet hair. And I did not give one f*ck.

    A lad called Tom as in trouble in school for telling lies. His mother was called in to deal with it. She explained to the teacher that Tom's uncle was indeed Superman. A while later, Henry Cavall walked into school with his nephew, Tom.

    He's mostly known as a comedian and TV host, but Jay Leno is actually one of the most respected experts in the world on classic cars. His passion is obvious and his knowledge is encyclopedic. Listening to Jay talk about cars is always what I imagined listening to Richard Feynman talk about physics would be like.

    The dogs are 100% correct in this response. Makes sense not to exhaust yourself trying to get the attention and love of someone who obviously doesn’t return your feelings. Too bad a******s like that aren’t self-aware enough to realize they’re not being fair to the animal, and should find their unwanted pet another home; one where they will be a much loved and much appreciated full and equal member of the family. Then again, they don’t even have the decency to do that for the people in their lives, so…

    A theory is the culture of India and Africa is highly spiritual based (not nessisarily religious), so when people's brains misread visual and audio information with schizophrenia, they are more likely to pass it off as a benign spirit or ghost of loved one. In western cultures and religions, seeing things others can't is a negative experience because they are told "it's not there" or "It's evil", which is scary. American media also has a lot to do with this since it highlights dangers and makes it sound like those dangers are coming for you (why I can't watch any news anymore)

    The hallucinations are also affected by the environment and technological advances around us. Affected people used to hear voices coming from the gas pipes feeding gas supplies to houses, then when radios were more common, they became the source of auditory hallucinations. Then television sets, or overhead pylons became the source, then computers and WiFi. In cultures with a strongly prevalent religious faith, the voices are more likely to be angels, gods or demons. In more secular countries, it's celebrities or politicians 'speaking' directly to the patient. The world around you shapes the hallucinations you experience.

    In Africa, I know that people with schizophrenia are not put into hospitals. Instead, they live in villages with other people struggling with mental illness and mental health workers. So their experience of schizophrenia is much different than in the US, where they are involuntarily locked away and drugged in depressing and sometimes violent hospital wards. It is no surprised that their hallucinations are much different.

    Trucker won the lawsuit, 38 million yen. Unfortunately it was the deaths of the rich biological parents that caused their three youngest sons to do a test and see if their oldest (other switched baby) was related to them. They did this because he looked nothing like anyone else in the family. The trucker was pretty upset he wasn't able to meet his biological parents. From what I read it really seems like not being able to meet them was his primary motivation in suing.

    Folks, the wine served to children is so weak it’s next door to grape juice, so no, they were absolutely NOT getting the students drunk at lunch.

    Speaking from a life-long career in education, it's the teachers who need the wine. Four glasses sounds like a good start.

    In England, Scotland and Wales, it’s not illegal for someone between the ages of five and 17 to drink alcohol at home or on other private premises. But this does not mean it is recommended.

    I think it is good to introduce children to alcohol at meals. Then it is not such a forbidden fruit.

    Can a child get drunk off 125ml of wine spread out over 4 drinks over a day? That’s about 31ml of wine a glass, or just over 2 tablespoons. (Or did I read this wrong and each glass is 125ml?)

    For context, 125ml is about 4.2 ounces. Or half a cup. So "four glasses" is kind of overstating it. I don't think it's great to give little kids wine with their meals but they did at least keep the "glasses" down to about 1 ounce each.

    I taught my dog the command, 'paws on the pavement'. Most of the time she was good and would stop by the kerbside. Occasionally, she'd walk into the road. This is when 'paws on the pavement' was used. She would return to me, and would not step onto the road until I gave the okay. Quite a number of people laughed when they heard the command, and were then surprised when the lovely hound obeyed.

    There is a guy on TikTok that has taught his dog how to “read”. The dog will look at the flash card and do the command on them. To prove he wasn’t just memorizing the order of commands he mixed up the cards and the dog was still able to “read” them

    One of my dogs understands particular phrases because that's how I've always interacted with her (rather than using individual words). If she drops her ball too far from me and I say "I can't reach it" she'll move it closer. If I need her to wait I say "You stay there" and she waits. Obviously she doesn't understand "sentences" as such, just the sounds associated with them, but still... it feels like more of a conversation!

    I teach my dogs and cats "Excuse me" as a cue to clear a path. Someone once commented it seemed excessively polite, but the phrase choice is arbitrary and it's what I'd rather have in my life than for instance "Gerrout the way nahw!" (South London for "now").

    The point is that one can still overeat on healthy food. Too many calories are simply too many calories. Whether they come from healthy food or not. (can't recommend this diet though...). That is why cheating on a diet is so bad. Like : I've eaten only healthy things - now I deserve a snack. Forgetting that you already had the calorie intake of the day. Or other way around : I had had my food for today, yet, this ( whatever healthy food / fruit) is healthy. Yes, it is - yet, is makes the calorie intake go up - and therefore you are not losing weight. That is OP's point.

    Just like the people you know, but aren’t close to, who always brag at every opportunity that they and their SO never argue and are always happy. B******t. They’re either lying through their teeth, 100% deluded and in need of therapy, or they’re too un-self aware to realize they’re sitting on a powder keg that’s going to explode any minute now. People in healthy relationships will inevitably disagree about something. You are two separate people, not clones, so you will have differences of perception and opinion. Healthy couples get them out in the open, clear the air, and accept those differences (unless of course, one of the differences is of a type that is a real deal breaker). Not having it out means it will fester, and explode unexpectedly—-and potentially dangerously—-when one partner has finally had enough.

    For Pandas who didn't get this... In 1991 an embryo is frozen and donated. A woman who was born in 1992 grew up to be 25 and wanted to have a baby but couldn't. That woman became the recipient of the still frozen embrio which had by this time been frozen for 26 years. The baby is born and named Emma. So Emma's biological make-up is scientifically already 26 years old before birth, but the child "Emma" is only a newborn who is born to her surrogate mother of 25 years of age.

    Are they really "best" educated or "more" educated? Higher education has been steadily devalued over the past 50 years. It used to be that to get a good job you just had to leave secondary school with good exam results, then that changed to you needed to go to tertiary education and get a batchelors degree. Then you needed a batchelors degree with honours and now the majority of students aren't even attempting to get a job until they have a masters. Meanwhile, educators and employers are continually reporting that standards in education are dropping and most education leavers are unprepared to enter the workforce.

Sharecroppers essentially paid to work. If you worked in a factory during the industrial revolution you could work from childhood and never have enough to leave the factory housing.

    Neither do I. Moving 3-4-5 or more countries away, will end any friendship, what you had in your home-country. Sure, if you are willing or capable to visit your home country like every 2-3 months to reconnect, than may last, but sure not even so for a lifetime. And it's not the same, as living in the same area. Never will.. This is may be true, if your whole life you live in a max. 50 km area.

    We would travel nine hours to visit family in my husband's hometown. We'd stay a couple of days and then go to an NFL game. We'd stay in the city for a couple more days and then go to a small town in our home state, rent a cabin and go fishing. So yeah, about eight days. But the sequence was the perfect part. We got to see family (but couldn't stay too long, had to get to the game...), had the excitement of a pro game and big city and then a few quiet days in nature. Perfect!

    I thought surely this can't be true, so I looked into it, and it is. It's a US only program, if you look at the cost of buying a Volvo in the US and compare with the cost through the program, depending on model you will save 4-10% on the price of the car. Plus you get free flights to Sweden, a 4 star hotel for the night, temporary insurance and registration, a factory tour, and a curated trip of up to 6 weeks in Sweden/Europe on top. It just requires a $3000 deposit which will be taken off the end price

The diet soda mixture passes quickly through the stomach, putting alcohol into our bloodstream faster. Apparently the sugar in a mixed drink actually slows down the effects of alcohol, researchers say after conducting an alcohol test on participants.“

    In Türkiye there's a company that provides you this as a service. You can pay to be kidnapped and party.

    Poor wife. What an a-hole of a man. Hope she divorced him shortly after his return.

    It seems unhealthy that you'd rather do this than ask your wife to go to a party, on both sides.

    that isnt what misphpnia is, misophonia is a disorder where you have a decreased tolerance to specific sounds and things you identify as related to them. It can be noises like those listed, but not forsure. Every person with Misophonia is different https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/misophonia-sounds-really-make-crazy-2017042111534 https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24460-misophonia

    So just being highly irritated and irrationally angry for no other reason but people are making noises is not related to the disorder?

    For me, it's such a painful disorder. My entire body clenches up with certain noises and/or visual stimulus

    It's actually called a type of "neurodiversity" calling it a "disorder" makes it sound like something is wrong with a person. (I have ADHD and if someone said I had a disorder I would correct them *Immediately*)
