Education / Re: 23 Facts About Dog Probably You Didn't Know by decub: 8:32am On Sep 08, 2023
Pascalynboy:
Do you think you know everything there is to know about canines? Think again! Check out these 23 interesting facts you may have never heard:

1. Dogs have a sense of time. It's been proven that they know the difference between a hour and five. If conditioned to, they can predict future events, such as regular walk times.

2. Your dog is as smart as a two-year old! Ever wonder why children around this age seem to have a special bond with the family dog? It could be because they speak the same language, roughly 250 words and gestures in fact.

3. A study at UCSD claims that your dog can genuinely get jealous when they see you display affection for another creature.

4. Dachshunds were originally bred to fight badgers.



5. Stray dogs in Russia have learned how to ride the complex subway system, and get off at specific stops in search of food.

6. Your dog can smell your feelings. In fact, your dog’s sense of smell is approximately 100,000 times better than yours. So it shouldn’t be shocking that they can in fact, smell things such as fear. When a human is fearful, they perspire, and a dog is easily able to pick up on this change.

7. Newfoundlands make great lifeguards because they have water-resistant coats and webbed feet.



8. Dalmatian puppies are born completely white, they develop their spots as they get older.

9. Petting a dog can actually benefit your physical and mental health. Studies have shown that petting a dog for 15 minutes can lower blood pressure by 10%, can help lower feelings of stress, depression, and combat loneliness.



10. Dogs have wet noses because it helps to absorb scent chemicals.

11. Bluey, an Australian cattle dog, is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest dog to ever live. Bluey lived to be 29 years 5 months old and lived from 1910 to 1939.



12. Dogs can be trained to to detect cancer and other diseases in humans. Cancerous cells release different metabolic waste products than healthy cells in the human body. Dogs may even be able to sniff out cancer cells simply through smelling someone’s breath.

13. Three dogs survived the historical sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Two Pomeranians and 1 Pekingese - all from First Class cabins.



14. The town of Idyllwild, California elected their first mayor in 2012, Mayor Max. But Max isn’t just any regular mayor, he’s a Golden Retriever! Although Mayor Max passed away in 2013, the town elected Mayor Max II into office and he’s been governing Idyllwild ever since. Way to go, Mayor Max!

15. Do you have a dog that experiences separation anxiety? Try leaving some clothing with him that you’ve worn. It’s been proven that the scent you leave behind on your clothes can help ease your dog’s separation anxiety.

16. When your dog is carefully choosing the perfect place to do his business, it is because they prefer to go poop in alignment with the Earth’s magnetic field.

17. All puppies are born deaf. As they get older, they can hear 4 times better than humans can.

18. Dogs don’t sweat, instead they pant to cool themselves.



19. A vast majority of strays that end up in shelters are pets who are lost simply because they don't have any identification. Additionally, Fourth of July is the busiest time for animal shelters as most pets get lost during that holiday due to being scared of loud fireworks and running away.

20. Chocolate can be very deadly to dogs due to containing the ingredient, theobromine. Dogs cannot metabolize theobromine and ingesting chocolate could cause a severely toxic buildup in their system which could become fatal.

21. Maltese dogs do not shed, making them perfect pups for people with allergies.

22. 45% of dogs sleep in their owner’s beds. Hopefully those pups share the blanket...

23. A dog’s nose print is unique, much like a human's fingerprints.

Dogs are fascinating creatures.

A well trained dog gives you more reasons to believe they are man's best friend.

Sports / Re: Rules Of Football When We Were Kids by decub: 11:59am On Aug 30, 2023
Kalatium:
Gone are the days when boys were real boys as I look back in nostalgia.

Below were rules of football when we were kids, damn it was fun

1. The fat kid was always the goalkeeper.

2.The owner of the ball decides who plays .

3. If you didn't participate in repairing the ball you were given a match ban.

4. The guy who's never picked was to fetch the ball from the trees or bush when it got stuck, under the car or tunnel to play in the next game.

5. When the owner of the ball got annoyed, game over.

6. When you hit your toes against a stone and you notice blood, you quickly cover the area of injury with sand as a form of first aid and play continues.

7. You can't dribble the owner too much, this may lead him to stop the game by taking away his ball.

8. No matter how many goals you scored, the winner would be determined by the last team to score.

9.No offsides.

10.There is no referee.

11.There is fault only if the fault is serious .

12.The 2 best players can not play in the same team so everyone chooses their players.

13.If you are chosen last it is a humiliation and you will remain in defense.

14.If there is a penalty the goalkeeper is replaced by the best player of the team.

15.The best player on the field is always in the same team as the owner of the ball.

16.There is always a house where if the ball fell there, we knew that the game was over. so be careful !! cheesy grin

17. To distinguish the teams, one of the teams take off their shirts .

18.Game over when its dark and we can barley see the ball, we all disperse in groups teasing one another until we get home to face another punishment from our parents. grin

Africa is our home. Childhood was fun.
Good old days.

The owner of the ball, the best footballers? Don't try to mess with them.
Foreign Affairs / Re: Donald Trumps Mugshot Picture Now Most Famous Picture In The World by decub: 7:20am On Aug 27, 2023
Pauldollars:
The former US president proudly posted his Georgia mugshot on his social media channels - admitting he didn't even know what one was before he was indicted. There's no doubt the image will go down in history - just as similar shots of well-known faces have before.


Donald Trump's scowling mugshot will rank among the most famous of all time.

The former president joins celebrities like OJ Simpson, Khloe Kardashian, Hugh Grant and other famous faces who have had their picture taken by the authorities after run-ins with the law.

While in the UK mugshots are only released when a defendant is convicted, in the US they are published as soon as someone is "booked" - or formally indicted.

Last I checked the airspace is closed to flights below FL270.

Can Niger even police their airspace ?

Do they have total radar coverage or the resources to enforce a total airspace lockdown?

They've only two rusty SU-25s and zero SAMs.

Car Talk / Re: A City In USA Where Cars Have Been Banned For Over 100 Years. by decub: 6:05am On Jul 27, 2023
saintbillion:
Welcome to Mackinac Island, where cars have been banned since 1898.

Located just offshore of mainland Michigan, in Lake Huron, Mackinac Island and its namesake city have long been a favorite spot for a relaxing getaway. So, when automobiles first began to arrive, loudly sputtering along the island's once-quiet roadways, startling horses and spitting out smoke, it quickly became apparent to locals that this new invention was not for them.

https://www.treehugger.com/one-city-in-america-where-cars-have-been-banned-4857076

Quite cool a policy and for them to have maintained that for a century is something to be proud of. At least, the gap between the rich and the poor is somewhat bridged.

However, there are police cars, ambulances, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles.

Between an African Lion 🦁

A Silver Back Gorilla 🦍

A Grizzly Bear 🐻

And an Anaconda 🐍

Locked up in a cage, Who Would actually come out victorious

Ps animals fighting are not legal and shouldn't be encouraged, but if such situations ever take place, who will be the last one standing?

Nlfpmod

Lalasticlala

Please can this make Front page for a louder audience?

Thanks
The last men standing would be the Gorilla and the grizzly bear but I will give it to the bear for the following reasons:

Body weight that would match the Gorilla
Agility that surpasses that of a Gorilla
Tenacity that surpasses that of a Gorilla
In-built fighting weapons that surpass that of a Gorilla. Off course the gorilla's is muscle (grip) and flinging but this scenario gives it little opportunity to fling.
And that thing called Bear, e no get joy.

Gorillas have strong muscles but they are not smart fighters. A grizzly bear won't give it the opportunity to even grip or fling which is an average gorilla's fighting technique.

Therefore, since he took oath of office around 11a.m four years ago, his tenure will also continue until 11a.m on May 29 when the next president is expected to take over.

Tenureship is not calculated mathematically. They have date/time of assumption of office and expiration date/time.

Besides, United is not the first big club to ignore a player who would turn out to be a super sensation.
I am a Manchester United fan but I am glad Haaland didn't get signed to United.
City is a more complete team than United at the moment. Haaland is a good player and deserves the success he's enjoying currently.
I doubt if he'd have made it this brilliant had he joined United.
You just spoke my mind.
