This was THE era of product placement, before they had commercials, they paid to have products featured in photos or tv shows prominently, even more so than now. The best example I've seen is the Allen and Burns show with Carnation Condensed milk. At random intervals in conversation Gracie would spout out about how much she LOVED her Carnation Condensed Milk yadayadayada.

It depends, if its something that would have done more damage to him if it had ruptured on impact (such as a hazardous chemical) he was probably safer catching it, since it was so close.

I honestly thought this was going to be one of those clean hacks because of how grungy it was

Okay, but they are comparing a first world country and a third world country here, they are comparing two first world countries, the same company, and adjusting the currency to the dollar as the standard. So the comparison was valid. The idiot bringing taxes into one but not the other is the one who doesn't know how to do a proper comparison.

I'm almost afraid to ask why

I can do MAYBE 5 on a good day and I've been a legal adult well over a decade.

But you don't chain it up with a chain that weighs as much if not more than the poor dog. And while YOU may be referring to only when company is ovet, the post and the comment wasn't. I agree, people who keep animals chained all their lives are shit. You can tell this is a long term situation for this animal given the ground around him, so take your self righteous indignation somewhere else.

I mentioned the cost of health insurance, which I find asinine considering what the cost of actual health care is as well. If one costs a fortune the other shouldn't. But, you know CAPITALISM.

Hell, that puts her above at least half of the bridesmaids I've known, usually they have done everything they could to either upstage every other brides maid, or outshine the bride herself. I actually had one tell me cousin (the bride)it was only fair she (the bridesmaid) stand out more since my cousin had already landed a husband, she was still trying to catch one. Silly me, I didn't realize we were on an episode of National Geographic.

That was my thought as well. This seems to be the opposite of "clash". Someone is trying too hard to find strife.

It's really more about soothing the animal, and what works with an individual animal than any one "magical" trick. What works for one may not work for the next ten, and vice versa.

For KITTENS to be picked up, not adults. Kittens weigh less than adults, so there isn't the pressure pulling down on the skin. Pick up kittens, yes. Puck up Adult Cats NO.

But definitely kick antivax parents, it might do them some good

No, don't use a binder clip on any cat or risk getting the living hell scratched out if you, justifiably. But, holding them firmly, but gently by the scruff of the neck will cause them to go into a calm state and make them more manageable when needing to give meds ect, much like putting a shark on its back. Just make sure you support their weight if they are an adult cat. Kittens you can lift, but you can do serious damage to an adult cat trying to lift them by their scruff

I just ask them to do things and they disappear, its like MAGIC

Actually he's right about the difference in grip strength. Its like same you would use the same grip to pick someone up as to pinch them. All tge pressure is focused on a very thin line (of a metal surface) rather than dispersed more evenly around a larger surface area. And you aren't supposed to pickup or carry an adult cat by the scruff, its too much weight to be supported on just the skin. But is highly effective to hold them.
