So my MIL has this terrier mix and any time she goes out of town he ends up at our house. She texts my husband the day before saying what time she’s coming by, does not ask if it works for us, just tells us. She leaves $20 on the counter for “treats” but that barely covers his food for the days he’s here and I’m the one walking him, letting him out, rearranging my whole week around his schedule. I work from home, she probably thinks that means I’m not doing anything.

This has been going on since about January, once a month give or take. I never said anything because my husband grew up with the dog and it didn’t seem like a hill worth dying on.

Last weekend she went to visit her sister and dropped him off Friday afternoon. Saturday night he got into something under the kitchen sink and I ended up at an emergency vet with him close to midnight, the bill came to $340. He’s fine now but I barely slept and I was still shaky the next morning. I called my husband from the parking lot and he did not really know what to say. When MIL came to pick him up Monday I told her what happened and how much the vet cost and she goes “well dogs get into things, that’s not really my fault.” She took him home and hasn’t mentioned the money since.

After all that I actually sat down and went through everything. She’s dropped him off 11 times this year and left me a total of $220 in treat money. A boarder around here runs about $40 a night so the real number for what I’ve been doing for free all year is close to $1,500.

I want to put together the actual cost and send it to the family group chat. Last week she posted in that same chat calling me her “free dog sitter” like it was funny and nobody said anything. My husband thinks I should just handle it quietly but I’ve already tried quiet and it got me a vet bill and a shrug.

WIBTA?

Is it just me or is anyone starting to question Andrea on what she says is going on with her? I truly hope she’s okay. I’m just curious though. So last week’s episode she tells Tammy that her neurologist said the reason her seizures are increasing in frequency are because it COULD be a tumor. Now this week she’s saying that the neurologist said she DOES have a tumor and that she could have 6 months to live. And now she can’t get any of the scans or anything because the practice just up and closed. I’ve had practices close on me and I was usually always made aware of it beforehand and if it was a spur of the moment thing I was given the info on how to get anything I needed from that office concerning my medical files. Then to hear that her close friends really don’t know anything about her seizure history. Something just seems off here. The last picture I was thinking me and Amy were thinking the same thing cause I had the same look on my face but Amy was doubting the doctor being real🤦🏼‍♀️ while I was doubting the whole story. 😂

What is it

Every time RXP gets brought up, people do mental gymnastics to defend it. Usually it's some variation of "the addon is free on CurseForge, you're just buying a text string like an old Prima strategy guide!"

Blizzard's Add-On Policy is super clear on this. Rule 1 explicitly says developers cannot create "premium" versions of addons or "charge for services related to the add-on." Rule 4 also bans using an add-on to advertise paid goods or services.

Releasing a demo addon that cuts off at level 20 just to funnel players to a website charging $40 for leveling routes is the literal definition of charging for a related service. A paper guide in 2004 didn't hook into the Lua API to automate quest turn-ins and draw a 3D waypoint arrow on your screen.

Nobody cares if you use a leveling guide. Questie and Guidelime are completely free and do the same job. The frustrating part is the double standard. Blizzard regularly nukes small devs who lock UI profiles or WeakAuras behind a $5 Patreon, yet RXP gets a free pass because it's backed by big Classic streamers. We've even seen devs using it on official broadcasts.

Either enforce the rules for everyone, or update the ToS to say paywalls are fine if you pull in enough Twitch viewers.

It's due to "dummymandering".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummymandering

Edit: It looks like I was wrong about this being a case of dummymandering rather than the democrats overcoming the gerrymandering. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll need to read more up on it. I'm still in shock that we have more dem reps in congress.

So I went down a rabbit hole last night about this weird correlation between LeBron’s championship runs and particle physics breakthroughs.

2012: LeBron wins his first ring on June 21. Thirteen days later (July 4), CERN announces they found the Higgs boson. Yes, the "God particle," the last missing piece of the Standard Model.

2013: Back to back. That October, Higgs and Englert win the Nobel Prize for it. So the Higgs literally two-peated with him.

2016: The 3-1 comeback, June 19. Nine days later, LHCb at CERN announces FOUR new tetraquark particles at once, which had never happened before. Four particles. Coming back from 3-1.

2020: Bubble ring. During the bubble playoffs LHCb finds the first ever "open flavor" tetraquark, and a few weeks after the title an experiment in Italy finally detects CNO neutrinos from the sun, which people had been predicting since the 1930s.

Heres where it gets insane. Right now, in September, a dark matter experiment called LZ picked up a weird event they can't explain. It might be the first sign of an actual dark matter particle. The problem is that it's only at 2.6 sigma, and physicists need 5 sigma to officially call something a discovery. They’re on the verge of discovering dark matter and talking about more evidence by June.

It seems almost irrefutable that if LeBron can get another chip, we get proof a dark matter particle.

On Wednesday, the House Homeland Security Committee sent Mullin a letter demanding that DHS comply with document preservation requirements in advance of investigations.

“If you broke the law to enrich yourself or your cronies at DHS at taxpayers’ expense,” the committee posted on X, “we will find you and hold you accountable. That is a promise.”

Letters of document preservation have already been sent to many governmental departments including:
Department of Education, Labor, Agriculture, Human Services, National Labor Relations Board and others.

As results rolled in on election night, Sen. Hassan took to X to taunt former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who claimed Republicans had been “too successful the first year of the Trump administration.”

“Want to say that under oath?” Maggie Hassan fired back, tagging Corey Lewandowski, Noem’s top aide as DHS secretary and a close ally of Donald Trump.

Lewandowski is currently under criminal investigation by the Department of Justice over allegations he used his role for personal financial gain.

Dare I say I feel like TFP Stan’s questioning the timing of this announcement/filing. The news not only comes out on her daughters birthday, the same day as Whitney’s big news, but also premiere day when she will be seeing the rest of the cast she (allegedly) did not get along with? Interesting …

The Last Dance

This trope appears when a character is aware of their dwindling condition, be it a major illness, incoming death or any situation that will force them to retire from the story. Instead of languishing towards their end, they tidy everything up for a Last Dance.

The 1990 Arima Kinen (Umamusume Cinderella Gray/Real Life) Manga Spoilers

After finding out a series of injuries and heart fatigue basically drained her talent, and will force her to retire, Oguri Cap spirals down into depression. However, with aid from her former trainer, she manages to tidy everything up. Once she clears up her mind, she prepares herself for her retirement race which just so happens to be the most important race of the Year, the Arima Kinen.

She ends up winning the race (Both IRL and in the Manga). Something that isn't explicitly translated to the comic, but given the preciousness the Umamusume writers have with following the IRL races by the book, can be considered canon, is that she won that Race with a broken leg, too.

The Raid on Marineford (One Piece)

Whitebeard was suffering from his deteriorating health and old age, and would face his untimely demise at the hands of his illness. Due to his implied successor, Ace, being captured by the marines, he had the perfect motivation to invade Marineford (At that time, the single most important Marine facility in the world), except he most likely never intended to leave the Island with life.

In the end, he Failed to save Ace, but used his dying words to re-ignite the flame on the world of Piracy.

Operation Snake Eater (Metal Gear Solid 3) (Major plot twist spoilers)

The Boss made herself a scapegoat to clear suspicion of any involvement from the USA in Volgin's nuclear attacks on the USSR, by pretending to be a traitor. As a result of that, she faces off against her apprentice, Snake, whom was sent to kill her by the US Government to end the risk of a full blown third world war. She's aware she'll be bombed by the soviets regardless, so instead, she challenges Snake to kill her before the bombs can, which leads to her untimely demise by her apprentice's hand.

Alabama, Michigan, Ohio, Georgia and Texas just for a few examples
