Dogs are something else. I had one that would bark and challenge all the dopers that went by and never bothered anybody else. He only weighed 40lbs but with his 4WD he could help me up an embankment by pulling on the leash.. A full size poodle used to play-fight with me and I'd show him a move...

too much time in those sun-baked attics installing ducts maybe..

Why is FC so incredibly invested in GW? We had one poster here that had 19,000 posts. He hated religious conservatives. It turned out that was because the wouldn't let him have sex with children, right? This FC idiot is similar but why so invested in GW?

I really don't know what the US Public Sector is planning domestically. Arms and drugs are the two biggest business sectors on planet earth. The world, in general, is discussing winding down the War on Drugs but it's progressing quite slowly.

That all could apply to market making in 2013 or 1980. I wonder how much different it is in recent years... The spreads used to be $.25 now they are next to nothing. I have to surmise that the market maker makes less per share when price is in the two-way zone but transacts a lot more shares?

Soft fu&*ing tissue in a T-Rex Bone!! And found by a scientist!! They found a whole T-Rex once that wasn't fossilized. The initial story admitted that, then over time the "not a fossil" part disappeared... Watch for the "it's been disproven" statements with no references to the "disproof", for...

price charts do that for awhile then the trend reverses..

I don't get motion sickness/seasickness at all but I have a very hard time getting to the edge of something where a fall would be fatal if other people are nearby. Ferris Wheels are a little difficult because I start thinking about the engineering and the possibility of an earthquake here in...

I don't think it matters who we arm. After WW3 Syria/Iran won't be a problem, China/Russia/Pakistan maybe too...

How's this for some conflicting s%^t from a "science" article? "Although the NOAA report noted that in 2012, “the Arctic continues to warm” with “sea ice reaching record lows,” it also stated that the Antarctica sea ice “reached a record high of 7.51 million square miles” on Sept...

I'm so used to nutty people. They are everywhere it seems. Two out of a hundred are truly psychopathic. Learn to know which ones those are, the rest aren't nearly as dangerous, by orders of magnitudes. Psychopaths only respect strength, it's good to just show some strength to them if you are...

I thought about it.. decided I'd be a landlord if I could partner up with Hell's Angels, have them collect the rents and let the tenants know we weren't taking shit from them. I knew a guy, psychopath for sure, successful small business man and landlord. A tenant stiffed him, made him run in...

Personally I would not chain a dog. If a dog has to be kept in a porch or something until a fence can be built then walking it once or twice a day might be adequate to keep it from going crazy.. Los Angeles County has some laws about chaining dogs, not sure if it's illegal or the chain has to be...

Why anybody would expect things to change is a little beyond me. Organizations are the way they are because of the people at the top and Petterfy's been there for decades. Even if he were to be replaced nothing would change too much because the customers are used to crappy software...

The real solution in Barry O's mind: after the collapse he rides in on a white horse and declares himself "the true representative [and owner] of the people".

back in the day all one had to do to get social security was say "my back hurts". No doctor was involved at all. What does everybody think hippies were all about?

Surveillance can include a little personal camera you wear. If you recorded all the conversations to date you could have those idiots in jail.

No dog owner is perfect and we do learn from our mistakes. When the women do not leave immediately when told to you should get on the phone to the police and have them arrested for trespassing if possible. Why you would put up with some bitch for more than a second that wouldn't listen to...

Maybe they are reaping what they sow? The Democrats have their deal with the Black voters: keep voting for us at the 95% level and we will do anything for you [as long as it doesn't lead to you becoming a productive middle class type of person who would vote Republican] while you allow us to do...

I recommend the one where the white cop kicks an old black guy for walking towards him.. it's broad daylight, the cop is watching the guy walk and the cops' report says he couldn't tell if the guy had a knife in his hand... Otoh, those videos are reminding me to stay in shape. Gotta stop...
