The American Temperament Test Society tests aggression in dog breeds in controlled environment. Participants self select, so there’s that, and ultimately I think the test says more about the owners than the dogs. Nonetheless, per the ATTS , the american pit bill terrier passed 87% of the time while the Australian shepherd only passed 83% of the time.
I bought a Thule Crossover eight years ago and the zip on it has finally gone. Short of getting a local seamstress to fit a new zip, I think it’s time for a new one, and am a bit tempted by the Thule Crossover 2 30l. Are Thule still good? Is there anything else of the same sort of size that I should be considering?
Do you hate money but love backpacks? Then check out Hillpeople Gear. I have a Connor, but Umlindi might be up your alley. They’re not light backpacks, but they’re sturdy and the load bearing system is second to none. Super comfortable even without a hip belt.
Also check out Mystery Ranch. If you can find a used one that’s be best, but even after getting bought by Yeti they still make really good shit.
Hahahaha that is great! I didn’t see that until now. It’s a gas tank for the snowmobiles. And before you think I’m a fancy boy, they’re over a decade old and the only way to get to and from our house in the winter.
My girlfriend is be very interested in putting Blink (Amazon) cameras up around our property. I am not interested in paying Amazon to keep our security footage....
Recently I feel like I’m working, sleeping, or waiting for work to start. I hate it, I can’t figure out how to break this waiting mode. Does anyone have any advise?...
Once I started using alarms and timers my life got much better. I rely heavily on timers to convince myself to do chores. 20 minutes of cleaning or organizing my stuff is better then 0 minutes. And 20 minutes is digestable. And also for lazy fun stuff. I can set a 1 hour timer for video games or do a hobby or whatever and the time cut off keeps me focused.
Unfortunately, I drive a ghetto minivan which causes the police to profile me and has caused people in small towns to call the police on me if I am in a public park or in their neighborhood. I even had someone call the police on me at campground that I had pre-paid for and the police were not sympathetic at all to my right to...
I’m really enjoying Trine 4 (the sale got me). I’m what the kids call a “casual”, but I’m really enjoying the puzzles and the combat. It’s also a really pretty game.
I bought a ninja blender and I was so proud of myself. And honestly it’s a great blender. But then I tried my mom’s Vitamix and holy shit it’s in a different league. Like the difference between JV basketball and the NBA.
I just bought the 256GB Deck at the beginning of this month and it arrived on the 10th for $529. On the 13th they announced the OLED Deck and dropped the price of the 256GB Deck to $399....

What do you do if a cop approaches you and starts questioning you while you're sitting in your car in a public parking lot?

[Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Deck? - February 2024
Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of?
I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender....
What are some of your, "If I like this, what else might I like" questions?
Thanks for all the interesting replies! Given the response, I decided to make a whole community around this, hope you’ll consider joining!...
