it’s how I crate trained my dog. I adopted him when he was two and he was terrified of the crate. I would put him in the same room as the crate, put high value food in it, shredded cheese, deli meats, and then leave the room. slowly I would feed him more and more normal things as I got closer and closer while he was in the crate. pretty quickly I was feeding him all of his meals in there, but he would always watch till I left the room before going in.

anytime he earned a treat, for sitting, or laying down or whatever, he had to go into the crate to get the treat. at the beginning I would have to toss it into the back of the crate and then leave the room for him to go get it, eventually he was running into the crate waiting for the treat.

within about 2 months he was sleeping in the crate with the door open

every once in awhile you should pull the bags out, pack them, and then just unpack them and put everything away so they don’t get anxious every time

like sometimes I just pull out my cat carriers, and throw treats in the back of them. once they’ve eaten all the treats, the carriers go away

yeah it’s wild to me that petroleum jelly and kerosene come from the same thing

yeah from what people are telling me, we have the capability of processing lower quality crude oil so it makes more sense to export our high quality stuff, then buy the cheap stuff since we can already refine it.

dude. we are not talking about the gasoline. we are talking about the oil being used to make the gasoline. what percentage of the crude oil being refined into American gasoline is American produced crude oil?

yes but how much of that gasoline was made from American crude oil? America has plenty of refineries, just none of them designed for American oil

the government should at least subsidize a couple so in the event of an apocalypse we can make our own gasoline.

correct me if I’m wrong, but the United States doesn’t even have oil refineries that are capable of making gasoline out of American oil? like we need the type of oil that the middle East has, so we’re constantly trading oil back and forth even though we have plenty of it

I think I’ve heard this is true. something about politicians wanting to look environmentalist and therefore preventing the building of any more refineries

the reason you were able to download it is because other people were seeding it. that’s why seeding is helpful

I mean this isn’t surprising to anybody. plenty of luxury cars stolen over here to get shipped to the middle east

genuine question, what should we do about it?

various torrent sites.

it kind of is

I remember reading about a chemistry teacher found dead one morning. he had a habit of consuming the laboratory’s ethanol after hours, and the night before had accidentally poured himself a glass of methanol

finally a fucking headline that mentions the problem

3 weeks after taking a kitten off the street, I found it cuddling with my pitbull after our first cold night. the cat still gets annoyed anytime I catch him being friendly with the dog

what are the ages and the dog breed?

that’s not how instances work

tiktok was somehow the only platform carrying the trend?

not entirely sure, I’m still new here. I haven’t had any problems with lemm.ee

there’s probably a thread in !asklemmy@lemmy.ml where people discuss the pros and cons of different instances

the surface is the coolest part. maybe he was talking about the core, which for Sol is 150 million Kelvin. he also didn’t say which sun he was referring to
