I read up on this, and found out the following:

As a German having read the actual article, I think you are missing the point. It is not really about peeing standing up or anything, it's about a landlord keeping almost 2000 euros because of stains in the bathroom. So, this could have been anything really, the judge simply decided that it is normal for an apartment…

Wrong, AWD with active differentials and torque vectoring absolutely help you turn corners in slippery conditions. It will turn a bad time with a curb and bent control arm into a perfect turn.

Four/All Wheel Drive and increased ride height don't make your car magically great in the snow. Those things are great if you're off roading and conditions are bad, but on your commute to the office? Not any better than anything else.

Go out now and get water alarms for your basement or other areas where you have water flooding potential.

Depends on where the hospice care is being done. Cats don't like moving from their comfort zones, so taking a cat to a vet facility would add stress to the illness. Administering pain meds at home might work. I don't know. Are we really doing our pets a favor by holding onto them like that? I just don't know.

I think we should be able to euthanize people, frankly. 90% of your lifetime medical expenses are in the 10 days before your death, on average. That's an enormous waste of resources for very little benefit. To me, waiting around for someone's organs to get the message that they're dead is ghoulish. I don't want that.…

In my case, blowing air in works much better. Blowing out would pull air in from the very hot attic. I know. I've tried both.

Well, you are flat out wrong. My mom is the perfect owner for her Siberian Husky which she got from an owner who was rehoming her at 6 months of age because (gasp!) she grew and was too big for their apartment (who knew?). My mom takes that dog to the dog park for 1-2 hours, 5 days per week and has made lots of great…

I hear you that rescues are a pain in the ass, often. We live in NYC and can't tell you how many rescues (based in NYC) somehow required a fenced in yard, etc. We were lucky that we found a rescue that was willing to work with realistic expectations for NYC living.

In some area, shelters and rescues can make you jump through a lot of hoops to adopt. My then-boyfrined-now-husband and I wanted to adopt a dog when we were in our early 20s, but were refused from the local rescues because we had not owned a dog on our own before. We ended up buying a chihuahua puppy from a good…

I'm going to be the bad guy here. Statutes of Limitations are there because as the years pass, memories fade and evidence disappears. EVERYONE including people accused of molesting a child has the right to dispute the charges. One of the earliest memories of Jean Piaget a child psychiatrist was when someone…
