There’s an entire instance for such things, though I don’t know what more is there beyond mostly porn. Lemmynsfw.com

Yeah, professional training can be really helpful. Especially if they’re interactive with you as well so that you learn how to train while the dog is being trained. Imo a training course is only as good as the owner will be after, if that makes sense.

One thing I read once and applied to my last dog and my friend has done with his: use as the hand gesture for sit bringing both your hands up to your chest, like kids do when afraid. Dogs tend to respond to visual commands as much as or more than vocal. This way if someone is scared of the dog and makes that scared gesture, the dog will (in my experience in most cases) sit.

And in general, consistency is the most important thing. In the end, teach your dog whatever commands you want with whatever cues you want, but consistency is the key across the board. This includes initially how anyone interacts with your dog during the initial training phases, if possible. This helps reinforce the specific training you’re doing and that not just you should be able issue commands

Uh, yes? Good, bad, or otherwise, always has been.

I had a dog when I caught it that first July, so I kept walking her. I obv kept wide of people but still walked my dog and got plenty of sunlight. I don’t know what’s real and what isn’t as far as what’s going to help with reducing the intensity of this things but im glad I kept getting exercise and vitamin D, and I’m also glad Paxlovid is out there for people who catch it now. Rest, fluids, the med, and still getting a little sunlight and low intensity exercise would be my 100% non medical professional recommendation.

It’s a beaut, Clark

Where do you live that this is real?

I mean, you said it yourself and I went and checked. On March 7, there was a us embassy alert to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours. Wouldn’t be much to check it out before executing and replan.

Edited to add: I Guess I didn’t really address the point specifically about not studying and struggling with the tests. That was me the entirety of my education, from the first grades I can remember all the way through my 8.5 years of college with 2 degrees. I just didn’t care, especially when the homework itself wasn’t graded. I’m not sure how to help on that point specifically, other than to say that you’re not alone, and I made it with similar issues.

It’s really difficult to stay motivated for as long as we’re in education. Do you know where your current standing is specifically in those two courses? Could you go to those two professors and voice what you’re facing and see if there’s any recommendations they can provide you?

It’s ok to fail. We don’t want that to be our normal state but it’s ok. It’s ok to be tired and struggling with motivation. A big part of learning is learning how to adapt to new situations and not just learning a particular topic. College is about both and then some.

What year are you in? Some of those early courses are meant to get you to the next step, and some (it’s been a while for me, maybe it isn’t this way anymore) seemed like they were intentionally designed to get people to quit. Weed out courses, so to say.

One of those weed out courses I went through was a huge attendance first level physics course that it seemed like nobody was doing well. About 1/4 dropped it over time to avoid the failing grade.

In the end, the professor did a flat full 2 grade “curve” for everyone that stuck it out. I don’t think his intent was to teach, I think it was to break those who would be willing to drop. I don’t like the concept of those courses, and I don’t even know if they exist anymore, but that’s also something to consider if the ones you’re failing in have that kind of feeling to them.

Keep trying, you’re not a failure just because you’ve failed at something, and sometimes this is part of life. You’ve got this.

I forgot I set up tapping the back of the phone to trigger assistant when I found out about this. Obviously it’s super instinctual. You can set this in settings -> system -> gestures -> quick tap to start actions

You don’t. In their infinite wisdom they deemed it an unnecessary feature that people like you and I are oddballs for using in that way and removed it for our own betterment.

No more or less than today really.

It’s very possible it’s not sleep apnea, but it isn’t something that you necessarily know is impacting you. It’s not about hours of sleep, it’s about the quality of sleep and blood oxygen levels due to breathing interruptions.

My sleep study said I had something like 70 “interruptions per hour”, which means I’d stop breathing, my body woke me up just enough to breathe, then fell back asleep, only to do it all over again a little more than once every minute.

Do you snore, possibly excessively? Get drowsy and have to fight nodding off while driving? Do meetings send you to a seemingly impossible fight with staying awake?

Much of your description describes me before I had a sleep study that diagnosed me with sleep apnea. I’ve been using a CPAP for almost a decade now and it was a life changer and possibly saver.

I’m not a medical professional, so take this as you will; I would recommend talking to your healthcare providers and see if a sleep study might be in your interest.

Do you know me? I feel like you’re talking about me.

I really like both the Jungle Bird and Artichoke Hold served on crushed ice as tiki drinks.

The Jungle Bird

• 1.5 oz Jamaican rum
• .75 oz Campari
• 1 oz pineapple juice, preferably fresh
• .5 oz lime juice
• .5 oz Demerara syrup (1:1 sugar to water) Shake on ice and strain into crushed ice. Garnish: pineapple wedge and frond

Artichoke Hold:

• 0.75 oz Jamaican Rum preferably Smith & Cross
• 0.75 oz Cynar
• 0.5 oz Elderflower Liqueur preferably St Germain
• 0.75 oz Lime Juice
• 0.5 oz Orgeat

Same as above, shake on ice and strain onto crushed ice.

I prefer its big sibling the Boulevardier.

• 1.5 parts bourbon or rye
• 1 part campari
• 1 part sweet vermouth. I prefer Carpano Antica

Express an orange peel over and garnish with it

I’m a big fan of unsweetened soda water. Ila Croix, klarbrunn, bubly.

I make my own though with a soda stream. I have a shit ton of hops as a home brewer so I make flavoring that’s steeped hops (filtered out after steeping), combined 50/50 with juice blend I make 50/50 from lemon and lime. Not the fake from concentrate shit, but I don’t fresh squeeze it either. You can get the real stuff in most grocery stores these days.

So 1/2 hops tea, 1/4 unsweetened lemon juice and 1/4 unsweetened lime juice.

Then I put about an inch of that in a pint glass and fill it the rest of the way with soda water.

Very low calorie and hits the spot. It has helped me entirely stop drinking beer at home.
