UK here, on an apprenticeship and earning £40,000+ a year.

Recognise I'm exceptionally lucky but no idea how anyone could afford to complete a degree while living independently in current times.

It's not just about the p-value being more than 95%, the power also needs to be above 80% and we need to have run for at least a business cycle.

In terms of infosec, it's better for each to have it's own account as you don't want any linkages to other organisations with your data.

It's a gigantic pain in the hole though when you use a password manager.

I test drove an Alfa Romeo Giulia and it was a shambles from beginning to end.

He pulls the demo car round, and it was out of fuel, had a flat tyre, the engine management light was on, and the oil temp was sky high.

This was the demo car. The one they use to sell people on the brand.

Noped right out of there and bought German.

I have a lab. She's 30kg and the textbook "good girl" - a decent depiction of the breed standard.

I got her because her terperment was semi predicted in line with her breed, but I still have public liability insurance and don't let her approach kids because she's still a dog.

Over here, especially in urban areas, it's expected that your dog doesn't approach others. Aggressive behaviour doesn't fly. Aggressive dogs on lead are accepted if the owner has complete control, but anything beyond that isn't ok.

At the end of my in laws small 8mx8m garden is a freight train line, and honestly, you just don't hear it anymore once you're used to it.

You must have misread, I'm no expert - just a biologist who tried to make an educated decision on when to spay my lab. Happy to cite sources though - looking again, the study I found most robust is longitudinal rather than Cochrane but had a very large data set which was my interest.

This for example helped me to decide to leave my spay until after 11 months.

Feel free to share yours, it's been a couple of years since I dug through research pieces, sharing information and forming educated opinions is key for good science.

I'd love to see the studies if you have some links. My opinion was formed on a Cochrane analysis of several longitudinal studies for cancer specifically in bitches by breed, so anything I can add to my research would be appreciated.

The problem about selling only neutered dogs is that larger breeds (labradors, Newfoundland's, boxers) need to hit maturity before being fixed to ensure proper growth and prevent future health issues. This can be up to 3 years.

Definitely not feasible when a bitch has a litter of 10 puppies that need to be kept for 3 years before being sold to their new homes.
