There is actually some research on this and yes cats and dogs often have a preference for which side they favor. The distribution is far more even than it is with humans and many more are ambilateral and work well with either side without showing a strong preference.

More interesting than cats and dogs are chickens and pigs. Most chickens don't have a strong preference but those that do have a dominant eye tend to react to visual stimuli faster than other chickens. Pigs often have a dominant side of their about and it often corresponds with the direction their tails spiral.

This is the dumbest thing I have heard all day and I love it. Thank you so much for keeping the internet weird.

I must be missing the context for this. Does Potash mean something more than Potassium or the process for isolating it?

Those are solid points. I don't do any residential work and I suppose that shows.

That's great advice. I would also like to add that communications cable is usually UTP or unshielded twisted pair and subject to interface. It is best to run it 24" from power cables when parallel and to cross power cables at right angles.

Entering an intersection before they are sure there will be enough space to clear it.

I don't think there is an intellectual answer because it is not an intellectual desire. There is nothing cerebral about the process it feels more limbic. We like them because our bodies demand it. There is no rational reason, there is nothing to understand except our biology. You are not missing the point or not seeing what we see you just don't have the same biological response.

My brother in law thinks cilantro is super gross, it's so bad that he won't go into certain Mexican food places because the smell is so appalling. Personally hardly notice it at all. I see his reactions and they align with the things I already know to be true about his situation but I just don't feel the way he feels. I know how he person feels but I will never truly understand the sensations.

All that to say we just think they are nice.

I think I might be in the dark on this one. I just found out about OneNote last year and I can't believe I ever passed a math class without it. I actually bought a Microsoft Surface primarily to have a better interface with OneNote. I have setup notebooks for health information, to plan travel, I even setup a notebook to keep track of my reading.

Yes, that appears to be a spider.

I don't have the stats on mine anymore but it was significantly worse than the one I already had so I never used it.

Starting monday my car does not start charging at 11:00 PM as scheduled. I have had to wait until after 11:00, unplug the car, wait several minutes, and then plug it back in for charging to begin. I do not receive any errors in the app when scheduled charging fails. When I try to start charging via the app after 11:00 PM the app fails to initiate charging with the message that the car is not plugged in.

I have a Grizzl-e Avalance 40A charger with the ChargeLab app. The app says it sees a car connected and is available to charge at 11:00 PM - 7:00 AM when my rates are low. So far I have changed the Scheduled charge times to 10 minutes after the charger becomes available and I have disabled scheduled charging so the car should be trying to charge as soon as the plug becomes available. I have recently begun timing how long I have left the connecter out before plugging it back in. so far 30 seconds is too short a time, the car will claim it is not plugged in. 5 Minutes will work, tomorrow I will try 4 minutes and see if that is long enough.

 

Saturday and Sunday, the rest are week days.
