Dirty power kills my raspis faster then write cycles. I've been really surprised with the stability once I moved by Pis to my UPS

I forget the shape of the API but the pebble requests resources over Bluetooth and the mobile app actually makes the requests so it should be able to rewrite anything before/after a request easily.

I'm almost positive that it's both and also a short-sighted "give the customer what they ask for" approach. You could easily achieve local auto save, or a clear "upload to the cloud" UX, or whatever else. But the user got confused about saving documents, sooooo cloud.

Then the data centralization is a nice plus that makes it impossible to go back on.

Your dog still needs to be under control though. The ADA is somewhat vague on what that means but it is a behavior standard and if someone's dog is misbehaving you can kick out the dog (the human needs to be allowed to return without the animal).

I think it's a side effect of one bad experience being able to cause long term problems like reactivity that takes a long time to work through.

If you're a business ask the two legally permited questions (from the ADA):

- Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?

- What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

Most of the time the second question will throw off the fake owners.

Under the ADA, the kind of dog youre describing would be a service dog, same as any other. "Therapy dog" isn't a term that the ADA uses.

You can totally have a legitimate service dog for invisible disabilities.

Licenses don't mean anything in the US btw. The law does not require it and having a "license" is meaningless. Sometimes a training organization might vouch for the dogs skills, but that isn't a license and doesn't legally mean anything.

In the US it's the Fair Housing Act. Basically if the dog is providing necessary emotional support then the landlord can't prevent them from being with you in your home (I think there might be a carve out for nuisance dogs, but the dog doesn't need to be specifically trained for anything in particular to qualify).

It's a really low bar for a dog to qualify as an Emotional Support Animal. Which is great for people who need it, but is SO easy to abuse.

It only gives permission for someone to live with their dog though. It doesn't give someone any rights to bring their dog to restaurants and stuff though, even though people try. That's reserved for Service Animals.

We need to get much safer dog parks. Too many of them are just huge areas of off leash dogs and it's terrible for the dogs involved. It breeds bad play behaviors, dog-dog reactivity, spreads disease between dogs, and encouraged bad owners who just let their dog run free unsupervised.

Dogs that spend a lot of time in dog parks are way more likely to behave badly when they see other dogs when they are out for a walk.

Don't forget how horribly the first English adaptation of the film went too.

The number of levels isnt the issue, it's the size and scope of control of the market.

The rest is on journalists to be sure to mention "Microsoft owned Bethesda" more often.

If we had infinite time and resources and pecpuld pause disease for the duration of the trial, then I'd agree with you.

Without that we delay treatment, increase costs, and slow research. And people die while we wait.

Test what's most likely to be a problem, and avoid wasting resources proving what we already know.

I can't find my Amazon Prime rewards card in your search, any chance it's in there under a different name?

And for my Discover It card a tool like this is t very useful unless it can handle the rotating reward category (I think one of the Chase freedom cards also has a similar program).

I can easily remember most of my static rewards categories, but managing the rotating categories is harder and is where a tool like this would help me best.

They're locked in my an internal screw. So they'll at least last a few days.

Personally it feels weirder to have my address public today because it's too freely available across the world. Sure, someone back in the days of the yellow pages would still be able to get to me, but it would probably involve a bit more work of tracking what city I'm in then getting their hands on the book.

Now with it being digital it's too easy to casually find and abuse. The barrier to access is a lot lower.
