    I test drove an Alfa Romeo Giulia and it was a shambles from beginning to end.

    He pulls the demo car round, and it was out of fuel, had a flat tyre, the engine management light was on, and the oil temp was sky high.

    This was the demo car. The one they use to sell people on the brand.

    Noped right out of there and bought German.


  • When I travelled to the states I was absolutely horrified to find medications for things that only a doctor should prescribe being recommend directly to consumers “Speak to your doctor about X today!”

    We have ads for heartburn meds and simple painkillers, but to see immunosuppressants and diabetes treatments marketed to consumers is shocking and absolutely will drive poorer outcomes for patients as they try and force the issue with their GP without the medical beckground to understand the effecacy of that medicine.

    I have a lab. She’s 30kg and the textbook “good girl” - a decent depiction of the breed standard.

    I got her because her terperment was semi predicted in line with her breed, but I still have public liability insurance and don’t let her approach kids because she’s still a dog.

    Over here, especially in urban areas, it’s expected that your dog doesn’t approach others. Aggressive behaviour doesn’t fly. Aggressive dogs on lead are accepted if the owner has complete control, but anything beyond that isn’t ok.

    Thanks! I’m now working in a new role where there is no more ridiculous pressure or wild expectations and have been able to commit to working on a degree (because I fucked up the first one).

    Work shouldn’t leave you panicking on a monday morning or crying into your lunch.

    My old boss gave me a load of shit for writing down tasks that I had to do. He just couldn’t comprehend that it wouldn’t stick if it wasn’t written down.

    He took my book from me, and then asked me to do a bunch of complicated stuff each with its own deadline.

    He then got annoyed when I didn’t do the stuff because I hadn’t written it down because he took my book.

    He got sacked, I got promoted.

    Someone once asked if I thought I was even good enough to have imposter syndrome and my brain imploded that day.

    • Note: I’ve passed every class with distinction and won awards, but maybe I’m only good at classwork and nothing else

  • You must have misread, I’m no expert - just a biologist who tried to make an educated decision on when to spay my lab. Happy to cite sources though - looking again, the study I found most robust is longitudinal rather than Cochrane but had a very large data set which was my interest.

    This for example helped me to decide to leave my spay until after 11 months.

    Feel free to share yours, it’s been a couple of years since I dug through research pieces, sharing information and forming educated opinions is key for good science.
