LastYearsPumpkin,

Napoleon dynamite takes peace in Idaho. It has a very rural theme to it, but it’s not Midwest.

LastYearsPumpkin,

Left. Widescreen monitors make a task bar at top or bottom take up too much real estate.

My beagle has suddenly started resource guarding random stuff. What should I do to get this behavior to stop?

I’ll start off by saying that he has a bad past life. He was obviously abused by his previous owners and straight up abandoned in the woods. He has bad anxiety that he is on Prozac for, and it seems to be helping for the most part....

LastYearsPumpkin,

You are getting some dangerous advice in this thread that can make things worse.

You already have a bite, that’s a huge sign that you have escalated past the normal behavior stuff. Talk to a professional, talk to a local organization, like the local humane society, respected training center, or your vet, and get some real advice.

Pushing back and acting violent towards a violent dog can get you hurt and the dog put down.

LastYearsPumpkin,

I love how everyone worships dogs. Most dogs I’ve met are exciting as fuck, they play constantly, run around everywhere and jump with you. I fully understand that this is a dog lover problem, but damn, dogs are special.

Kids are similar, they are exciting, dirty, loud, playful, etc… Again, this is usually due to being human.

Most dog owners and parents are probably having a great time being dog owners and parents.

LastYearsPumpkin,

In case anyone wasn’t clear, this is for drinking water/waste water systems. Not for cleaning up the ocean.

This sounds like a great, renewable, filter material that can be added (or replace existing filters) to a municipal water treatment plant. There’s serious issues with microplastics getting into drinking water, and this could certainly help with that.

LastYearsPumpkin,

It was fine, kind of overproduced, it’s far too clean of a movie for being a stupid B horror flick.

That being said, the sloth was hilarious and just got more extra every 10 minutes.

Worth watching, but it really felt like a corporate grab at stupid B movie monsters, and not a real passion project.

LastYearsPumpkin,

I doesn’t actually. The sloth is very spry.

LastYearsPumpkin,

To explain what’s going on requires an actual reading of the article, but a quick summary (as best as I understand) would be…

Villages in Pakistan near high altitudes need high altitude ice (glaciers and mountain ice) to build up over the winter, and slowly melt in the summer to provide water for farming and daily life.

Due to climate change, the ice on the mountains aren’t building up as much in the winter, and are melting too fast in the summer.

There is a tradition in those villages to move ice to higher altitudes on the mountain, and mix it with rock and coal. This does a few things, it provides a seed that captures rain and creates a foundation for the glaciers to form, and slows the melt so they build up bigger over time.

There seems to be some question about if this actually works, or if it’s just ritual, but since the claim is that it takes decades for the process to work, we don’t really have a lot of evidence either way yet.

These villages are losing members because they can’t farm anymore, this feels like a last ditch attempt based on old customs to get their way of life back. It’s unclear on the amount of physical effort vs. impact, but it would be interesting to see if this can be applied elsewhere.
