I actually went to Bethlehem for Christmas Eve once… probably the worst traveling experience of my life… Palestinian kids trying to pickpock you every 5 minutes while you’re watching the mass from a big TV screen freezing your ass off paying for triple priced gross mulled wine all the hotels turn off the heat and make you pay extra if you want it turned on so we literally shivered all night and then the plumbing stopped working and we were told to not use the toilets. I would 100% discourage anybody from bothering to check it out no matter how much of a religious fanatic you are.

This would be really sad mostly in terms of the fact that Microsoft running anything will immediately wreck it and make it wane into obsolescence. In my opinion this would be a tremendous loss in this case.

Children of Time sucked… Honestly after reading seveneves or three body problem trilogy it’s children’s fiction. Dune will always be an incredible classic, children of Time will certainly be forgotten soon.

This makes no sense… by the way vaccines for Lyme have been around for 10yrs. This doesn’t make sense unless you can mass vaccinate ticks.

Veterinarian here and my answer would depend on your housing situation and the breed of dog you’re getting. Like if you’re getting a small toy breed and you live in an apartment maybe get some pee pads ready and start brushing teeth as young as possible…

Most universal recommendations would probably be small dehydrated liver bits for training in a tightly sealed bag you take with you wherever you go. Almost everything else can be situational. For difficult large breeds with prey drive that live on property I see a lot of success with e-collars / training collars instead of a leash. Don’t want your pet to think every chance off a leash is a chance to escape and be free.
