So you are saying that television news sources are "pro-milk", so to speak? They approve of milk subsidies and are against foreign dairy?

Does the "mainstream media" have a spokesperson, who made some kind of declaration? What exactly does it mean that it is "not accepted"? And while we are at it, who exactly is in this "mainstream media" group you speak of? Can you please provide specific names?

And don't even get me started on swabian kartoffelsalat!! User Tip: Not all posts on this forum are a request for a recap of your Master's thesis.

Being of Germanic origin I am of the belief that it has to do with all of the vinegar we use in cooking; sauerbraten, sauerkraut, sour tomatoes and onions, pickled onions, etc. Oh, and I just LOVE vinegar on spinach!

On the other hand, people here in Missouri tend to be polite drivers and as soon as they see the sign that says "Merge left - 5 miles ahead", they start getting into the left lane. Which is wonderful for me as I end up passing about 1000 cars as I don't merge until about 4 1/2 miles later. I believe it. And typically they seem to be old people. They have nowhere to go and all day to get there.

I may be wrong but I feel as if some people who live in the left lane think that if they are driving within the speed limit then they are justified in blocking the cars behind them.

Typically I'm a calm, cooperative driver. There is one situation though that I admit can raise my blood pressure. If there is a lot of traffic on the highway and progress is slow, that doesn't bother me at all, as there is nothing I can gain by getting passed the car in front of me; there is just another one in front of him and so on. But when the car in front of me is driving slowly and can readily move over to the right, but will not, and there is nothing but daylight in front of him, I quickly get annoyed. That promise of better progress on my trip, being blocked by one (what I consider to be) inconsiderate driver, really gets my goat. And there is nothing I can do about it but wait... What is this new technology that can identify this emotion?

Do you really want to start your tenure here by suggesting the membership may be stupid?

If you are going to tell us what cosmologists and astrophysicists say and think, it is important that you first KNOW what they say and think. Either provide citations for your far-fetched assertions, or ask for help in understanding what the prevailing theories really are.

Can you please define "observe" in this context? What device would you use to 'observe' it? Not your eye of course as the eye detects electromagnetic radiation, not space. Not a magnetometer for similar reasons. What kind of device 'observes' space?

I don't see how you can measure or observe a point of space. You can observe or measure something that is in that point of space, but you cannot observe space itself.

Thanks. I just misunderstood.

Can you please present that definition here? Much of my memory no longer exists. Much of the early history of the earth no longer exists. My father no longer exists. Can you pinpoint a spot outside your body that your consciousness exists? Can we test that location to verify your claim?

If there is enough of an alteration, no version of you would exist. For instance, if you have a sibling, they are an "altered" version of you; they came from a similar but different sperm and egg as what spawned you. Since you are clearly not "experiencing" your sibling's consciousness, "you" would not be here if there is enough alteration.

Here's a classic.

Go to your profile. On the left is a list of the people following you. Choose "Options". You can select to not allow others to follow you.

Another winner! 😀

For God's sake quit your whining. The world is not against you.

I also suggest that you read whatever it is that he chooses to read. Then you can speak to him on level ground.

I saw a cat show at the circus once. It was awesome!

I think you are confusing the components of the brain with the brain itself. Circuits don't do my online shopping at Amazon. They are just a component of my computer. All by themselves the circuits just open and close.

Do you have a citation or is this just your opinion? Why do you assume training would focus on standardized responses rather gaining familiarity? If familiarity is better, it seems that would be the focus. Generally speaking, doesn't training and certification increase ability in pretty much every field? I don't see why it would be different with dogs.

Yeah, I hate to be the one that brings up this stuff, it's just that I've been hearing a lot about it lately. But back to the spirit of your OP... When I'm on vacation I stop strangers and ask to pet their dogs so I get my fix after not seeing mine for a while. My wife thinks there is something wrong with me. 😆 My dogs also recognize when I'm in distress from being ill and will lie next to me all day. My son's dog is weirdly intelligent. One day my son and his friends were floating on rafts in a lake not far from shore. An empty chip bag blew into the water and my son told his dog to go get it. She jumped right up, went to the edge of the lake, got the bag and carried it out. She has also done things like go out and chase the cat back in the house on request and other surprising things. She's very easy to train; we had her going out and bringing in the newspaper in short order.

By coincidence I happened to see this story today. I realize this is just anecdotal. https://www.yahoo.com/news/1-old-dies-she-bitten-173706925.html

I currently have two dogs and a cat. If I had to choose only one species it would be dog, but the cat is also a great source of fun and amusement. With regard to this part of your post, I have to take issue. I'm not sure how else to put it, but where the rubber meets the road, a dog is still an unpredictable animal. My son happens to be a pediatrician and he tells horror stories of dogs biting children, family members and not. Dogs that the parents trusted around their children implicitly. Children are poor at guessing when a dog wants to be left alone, is sick or injured, feels cornered, when the child is getting close to their food bowl, are a rival for the owners attention, etc. They keep approaching dogs to pet them, get in their faces, and are frequently bit in the face which can leave life long scars. My dogs are sweethearts but they still spend a lot of time locked in the bedroom when my toddler grandchildren are around.
