Nexguard is by far the most effective that I have used. Unfortunately, quite expensive. Currently using Seresto collar, but admittedly not as effective. 58 Lb Chocolate Lab

So this guy, who based on this story didn't complain and did exactly as asked, has an ego and must be a gun nut?
Can I just as easily jump to the conclusion that you're ignorant?

"Vermont is a pretty diverse place." Say what? You mean like variations on "rich white boomer"?

We use Nexgard for our pup, no ticks so far!

This is about 50 years too young, otherwise accurate.

A client of mine's neighbor shot through their living room wall while he was "practicing".

Are you seriously suggesting the “proper” thing to do when driving 60 mph or above is have your lights set to a 5 second intervals rotation from high beam to low beam because the human body’s vision cannot react at that speed with low beams?

Hello from Missouri! 👋 Ticks are horrible here. My dog gets a NexGard chew once a month. It doesn’t prevent fleas and ticks from getting on her but it’ll kill them as soon as they bite.

Reply to comment by quartadecima in Best way to get CAD: here or there? by quartadecima
All I know is that I got raked over the coals financially when I came back to VT and tried to exchange the CAD to USD. Better to just stash the cash and use it the next time you go to Canada.

They do not charge an access fee. That is incorrect. They charge or decline if you ask them to do your research, as they should.
- the state is working toward a free portal.
*I was mistaken, town clerks have the ability to charge. I apologize for providing incorrect information. My experience was empirical having never been charged in. The town where I have conducted business for in person access to records.

Nobody except entitled people expect the town clerk to do their record search for them. Who TF thinks it is the town clerks job?

Maybe you shouldn’t think so much. :)
Maybe on their deathbed people who drove too fast will realize they didn’t gain much and will instead wish they’d slowed down and enjoyed the journey.

my wifes car, 2022 Audi Q3 (yea I know, I'm one of those douche bags, haha!) has automatic headlights , and they are pretty crap. I turn them off when ever I drive her car.
that being said, I can easily see a lot of people would obviously keep on using their auto high beams, but like I said, they are crap, and only turn off 75% of the time, the other 25%, the next car is fucked. They also turn off all the time just from the reflection of their own bright ass lights in a reflective sign...so annoying. I prefer my old truck with no safety sensors, bells, or whistles.

I used to commute up and down I-89 an hour and fifteen minutes each way when I was much younger. Over time I noticed that when I was really pushing it, speed wise, the trip felt longer. I had to pass more cars and it was just a bit more stressful. If I cruised at the speed limit and just listened to the radio or some music I’d often arrive at my exit with that feeling of “oh, I’m here already?”
In my early 20s I’d fly up and down the dirt road I lived on at 50+ mph. Until I hit that deer, that is. Now if I drive that same road I wonder how I could possibly have driven so fast thinking it was just fine.

Ugh, I have a partner that does that AND doesn't use his 'blinky thing'. Makes me nuts and causes many arguments.

We’re living in a society. Some speed limits are set with other people’s best interests in mind.

No laws on it. That’s why so many people can get away with doing they shotty aftermarket lights that are not calibrated right. God forbid I have a 2 inch crack in my windshield tho.
