A bogus gasman, here to ransack yer hoose.

You must have misread, I’m no expert - just a biologist who tried to make an educated decision on when to spay my lab. Happy to cite sources though - looking again, the study I found most robust is longitudinal rather than Cochrane but had a very large data set which was my interest.

This for example helped me to decide to leave my spay until after 11 months.

Feel free to share yours, it’s been a couple of years since I dug through research pieces, sharing information and forming educated opinions is key for good science.

I’d love to see the studies if you have some links. My opinion was formed on a Cochrane analysis of several longitudinal studies for cancer specifically in bitches by breed, so anything I can add to my research would be appreciated.

The problem about selling only neutered dogs is that larger breeds (labradors, Newfoundland’s, boxers) need to hit maturity before being fixed to ensure proper growth and prevent future health issues. This can be up to 3 years.

Definitely not feasible when a bitch has a litter of 10 puppies that need to be kept for 3 years before being sold to their new homes.

I just use my teeth and it horrifys anyone I’m with…

Jokes on them though, because I’m the one with an open beer.

I get paid 4 weekly so get 13 pays a year.

Even better if you keep schtoom about it and automate your work from home job allowing you to just chill for most of the day.

The only benefit to an automatic is being able to eat a burrito while driving.

Still doesn’t outweigh the niceness of driving a manual.

This is true, they try to hide this type of activity, and if you fight it they’ll take you down too. Source: personal experience.

18°C in the winter, and off completely in the summer.

My biggest fear is that you are aware of everything and can feel the pain when under, but forget it all - men in black style - to leave a relatively ok experience if not a little sick feeling.

That’s a great idea.

At 14/15 you want to fool about if you have an equally young partner and there’s nothing really criminal about it - just discovering sexuality.

14 and 30 though really does have a different ring to it and if that’s considered, then credit to the system.

2 of the rentals I’ve lived in had bathroom carpet.

Rentals.

Student accommodation…

They were probably 40% vomit, 25% filth, 25% jizz and 10% actual carpet.

Got to have a good look at them when they were filming at Silverstone and got a nose in the garage, they’d be out as soon as any of the billed sessions ended…

If you stop trying to vocalise the words in your head you can really break away from the the time limit and just fly through text.

This is what I do when I’m reading academic papers for writing reports to see if the content is what I need.

Takes a few seconds to scan it, take the understanding and made a decision on if it’s worthwhile or not.

There’s also websites where you can drop text and it will train you to read this way.

I’m the opposite end of that bell curve. Trained relentlessly for years and my 10k is still almost an hour and 20.

Totally agree… This person does a shit load of work building and maintaining an app, they sure as hell should get paid for it.
