  • So the US has no influence on the internet or social media? In denial much?

    Realize here my argument is that the US is some exceptional example of a country, the literal definition of exceptionalism, but there is enough influence for the general internet population to understand what a foot is. Just like how I know what a stone is without the UK being some exceptional utopia. If someone says they weight 12 stone I convert in my head and go about my day.

    But hey. this all started when someone said 15m2 was larger than a parking spot. I said no and showed my work. The units I used were irrelevant. This whole tangent is your own pedantry.

    EDIT: For those curious, Mr_Blott deleted his reply that called my comment on the US having an influence on the internet US exceptionalism, and that should have been lost in the migration.














  • First off there have been mentioned of documenting it, and you should definitely do so. I would include calling animal control in this so there is a trend if something does happen.

    In terms of protection though, there is something called pet corrector spray. It’s the equivalent of an air horn for dogs, and is directional. Humans only hear a hiss. Might be worth an investment there.

    When I’ve encountered off leash dogs I put myself between the dog and my dog. Between that and the corrector spray it should be a pretty convincing argument to the little shit to stay away.
