My neighbor got an additional yappy dog, and then she never came home last night. They kept barking until around 2 in the fucking morning, and then they started again at 6:30 this morning. I'm going to be talking with building security and the apartment community offices, this shit will not be tolerated. Best case scenario, the community forces her to get rid of her dogs, breaking her heart. Then I'll move away next month when my lease expires, just so she knows it was all for nothing.
Man, you would have HATED living at my apartment last year. You could hear loud parties from all around the neighborhood almost every night of the week.
You're just mad cuz you're an old man, and you're getting crotchety. Stop being grumpy!
While I agree that those are cool. They call them "Humane" which I find highly inaccurate. How is screeching the most painful, highest pitched, noise you've ever heard, multiplied by 50, at them "Humane"? Though the whole term in itself is pretty much bullocks anyway, so whatever.

It's humane because a short burst of an annoying sound causes no lasting physical pain. The idea is either to train the dog to obey or (in the case of strays) to scare them off. The dog goes away, you stop making the noise.
I suppose it's inhumane to cause any pain at all, regardless of duration or intensity, but it's not like they're setting dogs on fire or something.
I'm inclined to think the dog isn't suffering all that much. they don't yelp, whimper, change posture, or show any signs of distress. It's really just a distracting noise. At the most, they might find it annoying.
Hold the phone. How did we all forget the Flamethrower as a means of Dog deterrence? It was invented in China for gods' sake. Ah well, I guess with your neighbor moving and all it would have been a large investment for naught.
So last year I canceled my platinum membership on Audible (you probably can see where this is going.)
So I was checking my bank account today to see how much money I had for gas, Magic: the Gathering, and food. I noticed that the most recent charge to my account was from Audible. That's $22 a month for a year, each charge gives me two credits to trade in for audiobooks. The biggest pain is that you can only have 12 credits at any given time, that's six months of subscription fees that just disappeared.
I've yet to use any of my credits, I contacted customer support and the guy said he'd see what he could do and email me when he has news. It's a good thing they have it on record that I haven't even logged on in nearly a year, so maybe I can get some money back.
Yeah, some companies are like that. They just charge you anyway even though you "canceled" and hope you're dumb enough to let it go. Best fight this one.
To me this is indicative that the company is past the point when it should have closed up shop. Shady stuff like that stinks of desperation.
Yeah, this cold front in Austin has thrown me for a loop. I'm used to April being the absolute last month for any cold fronts to come through Texas (not counting the panhandle), and it's been chilly and rainy outside all day. I'm not complaining too much, the lowest it got today was somewhere in the high 40s... it's just that it's completely unexpected. It was in the 80s last week, I think it got into the 90s at one point as well. Beautiful weather!! I actually regret not bringing a sweater with me to campus earlier today.

A dog would happily lick your bollocks. Would you lick a dog's? I think not. QED, bitches.
My only regret is I never got the opportunity to make her dogs suffer.
Fuck the internet, seriously.

EDIT: I facebook stalked a little, turns out we have two mutual friends. I'm not really close with either of them, though.
