He's fairly stubborn but incredibly loyal and smart (for a 1 year old) how can I ease him up on the defensive barking habit he sometimes has. Particularly with him barking at guests and other dogs (if he's on lead)?

I recently started a new job about an hour and a half an hour from where I live. Last week we got bacon sandwiches on the Friday morning, which is apparently their weekly ritual. I asked for one with bacon, mushroom, fried onion and brown sauce.

They looked at me like I had two heads. Like I was breaking some sort of unwritten rule or committing breakfast sandwich genocide. When asking what the issue was the director said, "fried onion on a bacon sandwich, are you mentally ill?"

Would you consider fried onion a normal thing to put on a bacon sandwich? I've never given it a second thought and it feels as normal to me as eggs and bacon. Should I accept that it's not the norm or should I se

I placed an order with a high-street cosmetics supplies as a gift for my partner for Christmas.

Unfortunately Evri was the carrier.

Incredibly, they failed to deliver the package to my office despite my desk being within eyeshot of the front door and gates. Somehow they managed to send the "sorry we missed you" notification, an hour before the "your package is on the way" dispatch notification, which had advised me that my package was going be delivered in 4 hours time.

From now on, any time I see Evri on an order confirmation, I'm just going to cancel the order and shop elsewhere.

I'm working on a project with some offset connections to a structure using steel brackets similar to the image linked below, (they're 100mm tall for scale)

the bracket itself has around 7kN of load through a bolt spanning the "fork" section of the bracket, pulling away from the structure perpendicular to the face with the two holes (we'll call these holes structure holes). As well as 2kN of force pulling downwards.

Looking at the calculations I've been given, the company who has produced the bracket has calculated the pullout of the bolts as 7kN divided by two (half per hole) and then added the 2kN of deadload in the exact same manner. They're using a pair of

My colleague listens to it for 8 hours every day and it's literally the same 20 shite songs repeated 3 times a day for 6 months until maybe one or two of those songs gets rotated out and something "new" but equally shite replaces it for the next two years. Do the "DJs" not get utterly bored out of their skulls?

Also how smooth does your brain need to be to willingly choose to listen to the same 20 songs in a row for 2 years?

I think an incredibly effective way to improve driving standards on the roads, reduce accidents and generate revenue would be to allow the public to submit footage of bad driving which would (after a review) be used to fine the drivers, then this fine would be used to partially compensate the people who submitted the footage for their efforts.

Catching people using their phones? Easy, driver gets fined, person who submitted the footage gets paid, government gets paid, maybe 30% of the value of the fine. Driver speeding in stupid places or doing cuntish things putting other drivers at risk bang, fine for them, payday for me. I have a front and back dashcam, maybe 30% of other drivers have a

I'm constantly reading articles about working professionals who are resorting to food banks in order to simply eat, or people on "r/UKPersonalFinance" saying things like "I'm buried up to my eyeballs in debt and now my circumstances have changed so I'm financially ruined" Or people struggling to deal with cost of living increases because they were so close to being in the red each month to begin with that any single change to their outgoings is absolutely disastrous.

I have several friends who are so buried in debt, that they have no option but to work dozens of hours of overtime each week just to be able to survive to the next payday. These are not people who you would necessarily conside

I have a galvanised steel bracket attached to the edge of a composite deck floor slab poured with C32/40 concrete, with a galvanised steel edge trim to the front face.

The bracket is 100mm tall and is supporting a deadload of 4.52kN (yellow) at a distance of 144mm from the slab edge centrally to the bracket. As well as a pullout load of 12.63kN. (blue)

Firstly, what is the overall pullout and sheer transferred to the fixings, I can calculate the arrangement assuming a perfect lever where all the deadload is transferred into a tension load on the fixing, but my intuition tells me that this isn't the case in real life, some portion of

I have a particularly vocal neighbor and she tends to waffle in her bedroom with her boyfriend from about 10pm to sometimes 1am or later keeping me awake, I've tried telling her to shut up but she's a bit brain dead so forgets after about 30 seconds. In her defense the party walls are pretty thin and there's an alcove between the two houses next to a chimney breast.

The wall buildup is essentially a single brick skin, and a hardwall plaster to each side at about 20mm thick.

I want to soundproof this wall to some extent.

My initial thoughts are to attach some battens to each side of the alcove, span the gap with more battens, leaving a gap of about 150mm to the wall, then fill that gap w

A month or so ago I had an engine service required notification on my Volvo S60, I took it to a garage which specialises in diagnostics and engine cleaning and they said the error code was something to the effect of low air, they reset the code, cleaned the maf sensor and sent my on my way telling me to pop back if it re-occurred.

Sure enough, it came back a couple of days later, they did another check and said it was a clogged EGR valve, EGR cooler and intake manifold. They gave me a price to fix it which was very close to 4 figures and took it away to mull it over, and a week later I got a full check engine light and it went into limp mode.

I took it in a few days after that and left th
