Actually, while I totally respect her foster rescue parent, I'm not a fan of the whole "treat reward system".
Whether you are a fan or not really doesn't matter, because it works, and is the universally accepted means to train dogs. You eventually stop giving them treats for simple commands, but they'll keep performing anyways. That's what training is. |

Yeah, we'll get a purpose built vehicle for this within 10 years. Probably closer to scooter sized than car sized. Also, fully electric, I imagine.
It doesn't matter what they build. It's not cost-effective or convenient. Most people will gladly pay the couple of bucks to have someone bring it to the door then make the effort of going out to get it themselves. If you're already throwing shoes and clothes on to do so than you may as well just pick it up or make pizza at home.
You've clearly never delivered pizza before or worked in service industry. Most people are fickle and cheap and tip next to nothing.
Most people don't care to support an industry charging a "delivery fee" and then expecting people to tip the delivery driver. I haven't had pizza delivered since that asinine fee showed up. |

Any shared wisdom on controlling a dog while walking?
Any and all dog training is about rewarding good behavior. Getting a dog to walk well starts inside the house. Get your dog to look at and listen to you regularly on command. Get your dog to sit on command. Get your dog to stay on command. Get your dog to come on command. Get your dog to "leave it" on command. Once ALL THAT is done, you can start using your toolbox to have nice walks together. Same rules apply outside; reward your dog for keeping pace and not pulling, get your dog's attention on you the moment before he gets distracted by something, and just periodically practice other commands as you go. |

| He's a product of America and capitalism in general, or did you not notice who somehow got elected PRESIDENT recently? You can't train generations of children that greed is good and selfishness is a virtue and then reprimand them for following through. |

See, there's the problem with the game and Blizzard in general; making archetypal changes to design well after the game is released. TF2 and CS certainly added bits and pieces post release, but they didn't fundamentally redesign core aspects. If aspects of a game need fundamentally redesigned, they should be redesigned in the beta. That's the point of a beta. Patch after patch sees characters swinging wildly back and forth between fun and boring, between useless and overpowered.
First there was Widowmaker bodyshotting Zenyattas.
Then there was McCree hammer-fanning... everybody.
Next we had Roadhog's BS hook instakills.
Then we had Lucio's healing being OP
Next we had Symmetra's ult being absolutely worthless 50% of the time (and shield gen is an ABSOLUTELY FUCKING LAZY "fix" for this)
These guys can make a fine skeleton of a game, but they're pretty terrible at the nuts and bolts of it. |

That's the problem with those old buildings. It costs far more to repair and maintain them then it would be to scrap them and build something new and efficient. It's just a huge waste of money for a public service building.
Have you never heard of sentimental value? It's not an "old building." For Londoners and England in general, Big Ben (the building and the clock) remains a part of the culture and heritage for over 150 years. I guarantee you if you asked any Londoner what you just said, they would be appalled at such a thought.
By contrast, most Parisians would pay good money to see la tour Eiffel torn down. |

Well, my main objection to Dunkirk is it actually happened. And while it is certainly an example of something we need to remember so we can make every effort not to repeat it -- watching a realistic re-enactment doesn't seem "entertaining". But I agree, it looks like another good film by Nolan, and despite my being hesitant about it -- I will probably see it at some point.
It's a fictionalized story built around the actual event... like Saving Private Ryan... which was an absolute masterpiece. It's not realistic; it doesn't even have gore (it's PG-13). Setting the subject aside it still sounds brilliant (Nolan is an amazing director, after all). I'm gonna go see it on Saturday. |

By the way, I just got the NVidia class action refund on my two GTX970 cards. Anyone else receive this? Did I miss a story on it?
They sent me a letter about a month ago saying my claim was insufficient (the claim I'd submitted like 10 months ago), after I'd given them all my hardware IDs and a copy of my newegg invoice. Apparently they did this to a great many people. |
