The world is considering renaming United States on their maps. As the indigenous people discovered and explored the land thousands of years before the first Europeans, it's fitting that they should do it. Many nations made up the area. Is there any name that would be representitive of all?
I've been trying to find a school where I can get some sort of certification on dog training, so that I can establish myself as a dog trainer in my country, with some degree of peace of mind and legitimacy.
The profession is essentially unregulated here, with a single option to obtain true certification which is by our national authority for veterinary services, where I am put through an exam supervised by specialists of our national police in dog handling, and this accreditation is specifically to accredit professional for the training of potentially dangerous breeds and animals declared as such. It is a mandatory no coercive force exam where martingales, chokers, pronged and e-collars are simple banned; the bar is very high and many fail it.
Although I want to achieve this, it is a very long journey and a very expensive one so I would like to achieve some sort of formal schooling besides all the material and practice I'm putting in. I've been volunteering hours at local shelters to get a wide range of experience with different dogs and helping dogs when and where I can but I want to move myself into a more professional setting. I will never make a full career ot of it but my objective is just to have fun and if possible make some extra money.
All schools I have found are extremely expensive and usually demand full payment up front. I simply do not have 3/5/+k to put down towards a course. I had found a school where I could enrol course by course but that school is due to shut down by this December.
Are there any schools I can check out? I'm in Europe.
Basically I have some merino wool stuff to clean but most people who have read a little about merino wool knows that you cant use different enzymes on them and most detergents on the planet have enzymes.
So that basically made me go search around for detergents thst dont have enzymes and there's quite a few but there is two problems : Some of them are unusually expensive , like the eucalan brand scentless one is 4 litres for 90 dollars and soak's scentless brand's is 96 dollars for 2.25 litres . And then the second problem is that you have others like eco -max brand scentless, hypoallergenic detergent and other brands that have so few surfactants and such a tiny concentration of surfactants that the people who use them t say that it is practically water.
So now my questions are how can someone know if a detergent is practically water based on the surfactants in it and the concentration of surfactants? And what would be the cheapest brands of
scentless non-wool wash detergent with surfacfanrs that arent BS
and scentless wool wash detergent with surfactants that arent BS (Ive heard that baby shamppoo is an alternative but is it a long term alternative? It trully has nothing in it that can destroy certain fabrics?? Is it a cheaper alternative?)
If I have to make this myself cause itll be cheaper that way? I probably will. Or should I just use a trillion litres every time I use that eco-max brand stuff?
ALSO I dont buy anything from companies complicit in the Palestinian Genocide. So no tide brand scentless
Especially in a major city. Usually I'll pick a place based on one event/location then figure out the rest once I'm there. Then I typically talk to locals, service workers and general internet to find more interesting things to do. What about all of you?
Controversial opinion: When a paid service such as a streaming subscription has a worse selection of media and more ads than a free service that is technically piracy, you are not only justified, but morally obligated to use the free version.
That forces the subscription services to either change their business model and customer service practices or lose customers permanently. Because let me tell you, once you go free, you never go back. Why would you pay nine dollars a month for a service with in-player ads if you can have a bigger selection of content and only banner ads, without paying a subscription at all?
But what about the artists? You may ask. That is a good question. Streaming services already pay the equivalent of jack and shit to the creators. So what are you going to do with that nine dollars of disposable income now that you no longer pay the salary of the Netflix board members? Commission an artist. Or just donate to an artist. You will feel better about it, and it will actually help in creating art. Now isn't that a novel idea.
Or, alternatively, keep the nine bucks a month in your pocket. Buy rice with it. A lot of rice. And dried beans. Get ready for the food shortages that are sure to come in the following years.
Do not give out any personal information. This is like do you have a girl who cries at the smallest inconvenience? Do you have someone who is a parent and that alone is now their personality? Do you have a guy who you hide from Monday mornings so he doesn't tell you about the fish he caught on Sunday that was THIS BIG!
Why do you upvote this content? Is kuntuckygirl1 someone famous i should know about? This post doesn't look like anything special, anyone could have wrote it so why reposting and upvoting content from x and from people we don't know anything about?
Organizations like the Yakuza, 'Ndrangheta, Cosa Nostra, the Irish Mafia, etc, are part of many countries, to bigger or smaller fashion.
But to someone from those countries, what do you think was the original/historical cause for such organizations to develop?
My country - Portugal - has some degree of presence of these organizations but, to my knowledge, we never developed our domestic version of a crime syndicate. And we are not a bunch of choir boys. Something just kept things from forming. And that intrigues me.
So, what is the understanding of someone from a country where the organizations exist?
You have 1000 kilograms of clean, fresh water in a single IBC container in Sydney at the Opera house. You will be paid 1 million dollars if you can deliver it to Los Angeles McArthur Park within 3 weeks, or 21 days, or 504 hours. You can split the water into as many containers as you want, and the IBC doesn't need to make it to LA, just the water inside. If you deliver 2000 bottles each containing 500ml of undiluted, clean, fresh water, or like, 99% of it to account for evaporation and some spillage, that counts as a win. You can assume that any partial water deliveries that remain in Sydney or arrive in LA won't be stolen in your absence so you don't need to hire guards. There are no consequences for failing, but if you do fail or succeed, any money you spend on the project, you don't get refunded. Normal consequences for breaking laws apply.
As it stands today, unmanned vehicles (entirely operated by AI with no human intervention) still has shortcomings from accidents or collisions. Also, how would society react to AI being the driver? If there’s no steering wheel on an entirely AI operated car: how can you override its protocols when it becomes rogue? There are “self driving” cars, but how many use that as their main mode of transportation than driving a car?
The technology for it exists, but remains rather niche since there’s still more cars driven by people than cars operated by AI. Do YOU want to replace your own car with an AI operated one or rather keep one meant to be used by humans? As of now, it’s rather rare unless you happened to spot one whilst on the road. Most car dealerships only sell “normal” cars intended for humans, even Teslas still require a human driver.
