Open mouth, insert foot on that one.

Edit: I think he said it thinking it would help the mid-terms. And at least we did get less crazies in office than we thought we were...

Wednesday, Richmond was #3 in the state, only beat out by two high population northern VA counties.

I got them together and it wasn't pleasant. The first two covid shots/booster were fine. I think it's the flu shot that made me feel like crap for two days.

Have you been to Strangeways before? IPAs are not their focus.

I think it’s selfish to end the life of an animal who isn’t sick or suffering. I believe that when humans made the decision to domesticate dogs, we entered into a cultural pact to care for them, similar to children. Euthanasia is a last resort. I find it sickening how you’re suggesting it as a first resort option for dogs that could have their issues treated with behavioral interventions. When all options have failed, euthanasia is an ethical option.

Sorry he is under the weather.

As per COVID three times, there is this (solid source):

Also.the fact you say dsitract your dog.....that's not training thats an owner who has no clue what.they are doing...

Still asking, where you are getting your information?

Virginia is actually at a very low point at the moment....bottom of a curve and a new curve (surge) for COVID has not yet started.

Granite was intentional

RIP to ODC

Yes GO BLUE!!!! I’m so nervous….

> I don't think it's a coincidence that the more conservative counties are touting lower numbers: it fits with their agenda.

Although the CDC this week left the main counties that have a higher rate in the Southwest of the state. But politics is always going to get into things.

Problem is, each time you get covid, more organs, etc., inside usually get damaged, so we are going to see a lot of problems down the line.

If you need to find out who Eric Topol is, he is on wikipedia.

This is commonplace, down here in Hampton Roads news 3 staff work on three of our local stations.

It doesn't matter how diligent you are. You won't change its nature. And human beings make mistakes. Even if you try your hardest there's no guarantee your dog won't kill again. It's irresponsible to own such an animal.

1 was extricated, but all survived. Assuming you’re talking about the one near the 19MM

Ah yes, the false consensus defense of “most people agree” with me

That's...well, I smell politics.

> A majority of the Richmond-metro area's hospital beds are located in Richmond, COVID results are probably attributed to the locality of the reporting hospital not the locality of the patient's residence.

VDH accounts for this and puts in location corrections. If you live in Chesterfield, VDH will consider it a Chesterfield COVID case, even if you are in a hospital in Richmond. The COVID report sent to VDH (by a hospital) has your address on it, and they code it based on that. If a screw up happens, a correction is issued.

These corrections for similar situations were put into the VDH database Wednesday:

Galax (-1 case)
New Kent County (-1 case)
Northampton County (-1 case)
Covington (-1 case)
Bath County (-1 case)
James City County (-3 cases)
Lexington (-4 cases)
Norton (-7 cases)
Colonial Heights (-10 cases)
Radford (-11 cases)

data from VDH database

Edit: corrected a wrong word

This is inaccurate information. You can train a dog with a high prey drive. It’s hard work and requires diligence. Saying it’s an impossibility isn’t true and does a disservice to the dogs and caretakers in these kinds of situations.

But the USPS was profitable and asked to be partially spun off is the difference maker here. The USPS was profitable and wanted to pay workers more but was stuck to federal government salaries but they wanted to spin off. Now the situation has changed and they need to be a government service at some point soon enough. That or they operate a bank which I think is personally a better option.

Positive

Edit: Richmond County is 22.17 per 100,000.

My Opiesque roommate went to a strip club in DC and said that the strippers looked like SI swimsuit models. He was blown away... I had a coworker who tried to get a job at the Red Light Inn stripping... she auditioned but was rejected b/c of tattoos!! This was 1994 before the tattoo thing was a thing.

If your dog has killed another animal once, it’s a potential danger the rest of it’s life to all living things. Taking precautions to ensure it doesn’t lethally harm another being doesn’t mean it has a low quality life or bites all the time. Their dog is happy, healthy and extremely well trained now. Missing four teeth does not equal miserable to me. In a less responsible owners hands, the dog would of been euthanized and not given a chance to live the life it deserves, just because it was doing what it was breed to do for centuries.
