She'd do the same for me

My dog will not drink from his bowl unless he sees me dump out yesterday’s water in the morning and fill it up with fridge water. My mom keeps a bowl for the dogs at her house, and the other day she filled it with tap water. One dog drank it, Snobface McGee did not. When my mom dumped it and refilled it with fridge water he drank it. He’s my buddy though so I will always make sure he has fresh fridge water.

Any ideas?

In fishing they’re called Googans (no idea of the etymology), but I dislike the idea of gatekeeping in general. If someone’s doing something dangerous, or their googanism is somehow ruining your enjoyment of your hobby, I get it, but otherwise why should you care?

"Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport."

TCAS warnings initially come up about 90 seconds before a potential collision, and a resolution advisory comes up about 60 seconds before a collision. A resolution advisory is obviously a serious situation, but it’s early enough that the climb or descent commands are really not anything crazy, not anything outside a normal climb or descent. No one should be hitting the ceiling if a tcas resolution is flown properly.

Hindsight is 20:20. It may seem obvious when you’re sitting here reading about it, but if my buddy was suddenly paralyzed I’d probably be too preoccupied with keeping his blood moving and oxygenated to have the extra processing power to think about whether his eyes needed to be closed.
