I ended up trying out Mysterium VPN since it’s relatively cheap and practically plug-and-play on iOS. It uses residential IPs instead of standard server ones, so the sports apps just think you're sitting in a regular house in the US and let the stream play without issues.


This is interesting.

Curious - how do the 2 dogs get along? Do they ever exhibit any aggressive behavior towards each other?


My Dobe is 17 months old, and her pack leader is my Pit (she's 5). They truly are best friends. A lot of give and take. A lot of back and forth. Never aggressive. A lot of chase. When I am gone, they sleep in the same kennel together.
quote:

This breed has proven time and time again that it isn’t always about who raises it, owns it, or trains it. There are far too many cases where the story afterward is, ‘He was our family pet for years,’ or ‘He had never shown aggression toward our children before,’ and yet a child ends up dead or permanently disfigured. I’m not willing to gamble with a human life to prove that I can raise or train a particular breed differently. If you knowingly accept that risk and put the dog above the safety of another human being, then we simply have very different values. Human life should always be paramount. Believing you can guarantee that your dog will be the exception is a risk I would never be willing to take.


I get what you’re saying. Those “he was a family dog for years and never showed any aggression” stories are real, and they’re messed up. I’m not going to pretend that doesn’t happen or that it’s always just bad owners. Human life should come first, no question.

I just don’t go all the way to treating every single one of them like it’s automatically a problem waiting to happen. Higher risk? Yeah, the numbers show that. But that doesn’t mean every individual dog is the same or that no one can ever own one without being reckless.

Those are two different things to me.

You do know the statistics of fatalities don’t you?


Pit bull-type dogs (the category that includes AmStaffs) dominate fatal attacks by a huge margin — consistently around 65–68% of them over the last 15–20 years, with Rottweilers a distant second.

This the pattern my original comment described.

4 full days. Still only 1 quote received. At least these companies are showing themselves to me before I actually do business with them ... so that's a positive, right?

American Staffordshire Terrier and a Doberman Pinscher

I get it -- some breeds are certainly more capable of causing severe injury and/or death than other breeds, and a American Staffordshire Terrier is certainly one of those. Same can be said for many others, including a Doberman, German Shepherd, Belgium Malinois, Rottweiler, Cane Corso, etc.

Unfortunately many of these breeds that can cause severe injury are in the hands of people who have no business owning these types of breeds, much less a Yorkie.

I have two of the breeds mentioned above. But I work with them daily. I also keep them fenced in. And when we go for walks, they are on a leash. I also have the ability to recall them too, in the event that an emergency happens. Neither have ever shown any type of aggressive behavior, but I attribute that to proper socialization, stimulation, training, and boundaries that I have provided for them. Sadly, many people don't -- and behaviorial issues can occur, which includes aggressive behavior.

I'm considering HMC (Kohler), Gengatorz (Kohler), and Gage (Cummins) the following 3 companies.


In 3 full days, counting Monday, I have received only 1 full follow-up with a quote from these companies, and a partial follow-up. I also reached out to 2 additional companies on Tuesday. Neither of them have responded either.

I am inquiring to potentially give you money. I simply don't get it. I recognize that the sales person does not necessarily represent how the service will be after the sale, but 4 of 5 companies so far have left a not so favorable impression with me.

Todd worked at Guthrie's


Nothing earth shattering here, but I actually ate at Guthrie's in Colorado Springs (of all places). It just opened.

Their chicken fingers, and sauce are identical to Cane's, which makes sense. Their fries are not as good as Cane's (personal preference -- too thick). And they don't provide a piece of Texas Toast with their 3 piece combo :lol: which disappointed my daughter, because we split the meal.

Replacing Pentair pool lights

Posted by Will Cover on 8/12/26 at 10:03 pm
I am stunned by the replacement, installation and service costs. It's more than most people's mortgage note.

How much are the authorized repair people paying for these lights wholesale?

Do not use Gage,


Didn't realize the installation issues with Gage, which to me, is just as important as the generator itself. Similiar to an AC install. Doesn't matter the great of a product you have if a terrible installation.

I am.

You need to pick a unit and get the switch and have the electrician install it with your meter and panel. That will reduce the costs a lot and create the cleanest install only requiring a nipple from the meter to the switch externally. Inside the wall would be the nipple from the switch directly to your panel.

It's a "concierge" type of pool service -- and certainly not inexpensive. They come weekly, and do a phenomenal job. My pool has never looked better.

I was pissing money away with my previous company that I used for years --- Kleiinpeter-Kennedy Pool Services.

Fortified roof requirements

Posted by Will Cover on 8/10/26 at 8:33 pm
I'm just trying to understand exactly what is required to receive the certificate for the insurance discount.

The new home will be built in Ascension Parish. I looked through the Louisiana Hurricane Loss Mitigation Survey Form because that was the information I was given by the USAA representative, but I couldn't find anything that explains the specific materials or construction requirements needed to qualify.

USAA told me I could potentially save up to $1,500 a year on my homeowners insurance if the home meets the requirements and I can provide the proper certification.

I'm really just trying to find out what materials, construction methods, inspections, or other requirements I need to be aware of so we can make sure everything is done correctly during the build.

I would certainly be interested in a grant if one is available, but that's not what I'm asking about right now. Several searches on here came back to this. I'm specifically trying to find out what is required to qualify for the insurance discount.
