Yep baby eaters.

I would like to point out that I've never owned a pitbull (don't ever plan to), and I am not invested in this topic. But I'd like to play devils advocate here in order to promote scientically literate discussion on the matter.

There are many confounding variables that impact studies on dog aggression and reporting of dog attacks.

For instance, this study (PDF warning) found a strong association between deviant criminal behavior and and ownership of high risk 'vicious' dogs. It's important to note the relatively small and localized sample in that study.

To the claim of putbulls being the most vicious breed, this study found that smaller breeds were in fact the most aggressive. A finding which has been replicated by other studies. There are many factors thought to influence this, including the growth factor gene.

Smaller dog attacks are also severely under-reported since they are not as concerning, which further skews the statistics on dog attacks to a very significant degree. Source. Also illustrated in that article is the prevalence of pitbull ownership in specific locations/demographics, which directly impacts the rate of attacks simply due the higher proportion of pitbulls in the given population.

I think it's important to weigh all of the facts, consider the conflicting studies, and address all of the confounding variables that are not controlled for in most of the studies assessing breed-specific violence.

To claim that pitbulls are the most aggressive breed is not a claim you can make with certainty from the scientific literature we have on the subject.

For people more unfamiliar confounding/third variable problems, here is a famous example:

Statistics show that as ice-cream sales rise, so does the rate of violent crime. You should not draw inferences of causation from correlations, but one might arrive at the false conclusion that ice-cream promotes violent behavior.

However, in actually, the third variable influencing both of those statistics is hot weather.

I'm not going to tell anyone what they should believe, but I encourage everyone to remain vigilant in scrutinizing all available scholarly information, avoid engaging in confirmation bias, and do not simply believe other redditors' comments at face value.

I had a chase b4 moving here too but if you need to pull out cash it's better to use a local bank. One thing I don't understand is why is there a chase call center here but not an actual bank lol

The houses across from the school do not have fenced yards.

i had it for the first 6 or 7 years i lived here and never really had issues but i also hardly had the need for cash or atms. i only gave it up cause of their ridiculous overdraft fees and i use chime now. but from what i remember the atm fees werent totally bad

I love the idea! Do you have a schedule? My time is limited for a few reasons, but I'm up for joining on the regular if schedules allow.

I've seen a child's face after a small dog attack. You are just plain factually wrong that a small dog cannot do real damage, especially to children.

Am I going to feel as intimidated by a smaller dog as large dog? Hell no.. But that doesn't change the fact a small dog can tear up a child's face in an instant.

Ban puppy mills.

Edit: I wanted to make a reply of mine as an original comment for visibility, but the tread is now locked.. I'm going to put it here instead.

Same! I had been throwing a little bit of money into a side account each month specifically to build a new computer since I got a new job in 2021. It's finally enough to build something beefy. I'm just waiting for AMD to straighten out the heating issue with the 7900XTX, and to see how the new Ryzen 7000X3D chips benchmark.

Not disagreeing with you but for accuracy's sake, it was only one that was unvaccinated, not both.

I would like more info

This was the same week that Burning Crusade released! Our power actually came back on release day. My brother had ordered his copy online while I reserved a copy at GameStop. His copy came in the mail that day, but GameStop was still without power, so I had to wait a few days.

Health care professionals will say not to use q tips at all, rinse with water when you’re in the shower, to avoided pushing the wax deeper and getting impacted, resulting in needing to go to the doctor to get it rinsed out.

I would like more info, please

There are workarounds on the insurance issues, depending on your budget. Regardless, all of them are better than messing up your digestion permanently, needing many expensive supplements forever, and often still not keeping the weight off.

If “well-behaved” pit bulls can randomly go crazy and rip up a school yard, the breed is too volatile to go without significant regulation. This is not an isolated incident. This is not even about punishing dogs (that doesn’t work) but about acknowledging that the average dog owner cannot prevent a pit bull from becoming dangerous to human life.

Or mineral oil. My sons ENT dr has us use that.

Can you send me the info? I live in Aurora and work in shell knob /Golden area quite a bit. Thanks

Yeah those meds though are not often covered by insurance. also I wonder how many of my meds those interact with. Secondly I tried fentermine but its is a risk for epilepsy

here is my question. I got a friend who is blind any of you know about accomodations for that and anyone who would provide them he is over 25 and I am scouting for him.

I know someone who will love to know that.

I know they had the apple watch I wondered about going in there and getting it on a payment plan. not sure though my credit sucks. but its a thought. I really need to get my hands on the series eight and not having the best of luck finding a payment plan with my credit.

lol really bia playing with stuff all the time. me and a friend. we set off an alarm by stoves. this was like in 2010 or somethin no 2011 but yeah I was all what does this switch do and it started making all this noise.
