How about the fast zombie levels of hunger as the immune system ramps up?

Seems to depent on where you are. Here you can be a āDozentā (lecturer?) at a university without a doctorate but not a professor. You first have to earn your doctorate, then habilitate to become a professor, which is the highest academic title you can achieve.

I think there are levels of professoring too though. āCrusty Oldā being the highest order of professor.

When the light turns green the instant my truck comes to a complete stop.
I bought my dog a new bed because his old bed was was in tatters.
Apparently the old bed was his preferred option as I have woken up each day to him at the furthest possible point in our room to the bed, laying ontop of my clothes - which he gets from our wardrobe,.an open walk-in.
This pissed me off and he didnāt look like he was going to stop any time soon so I installed one of our old baby gates. He managed to jump over itā¦ with my pants.
The old bed - all torn and stinky - went back yesterday and my clothes were safe in the morning. Gave me a ādonāt pull that shit againā look when I woke up as well.

Can you put the old bed on top of the new bed to try to get some of the magic transferred over? Then eventually overlap them so he might start using some old and some new, then pull more and more of the new to the top of the pile, and THEN, one fine day, pull the old bed out completely, with the new bed now hopefully seeming āregular.ā

Exactly what I was going to advise.
Itās all about the scent -home sweet home. Youāre transferring human thoughts of ātorn and stinkyā to an animal that thinks poop is deliciousā¦ Speaking of which, if your dog is food motivated, try using treats to get him to use the bed until the bed smells like him (in addition to associating the bed with goodness).

I confess I think Iāll never buy anything from Microsoft again.
A while back, I had a surface pro 3. It lasted 2.5 years and then just stopped working. Turns out itās a battery issue. Contact Microsoft, they say that not only has the warranty expired, but that they donāt even do service on Surface Pro 3ās anymore, so Iām shit out of luck. I even contacted local repair shops and apparently itās impossible to access the battery without cracking the screen, so nobody will touch it. Call Microsoft back and they say yeah, sorry, canāt do anything, you should get a new Surface Pro. Okay, fuck off.
Anyways, before this, I bought an Xbox One - probably 5-6 years ago now. The unit itself has been great - nearly daily use (mostly used for netflix/other streaming services nowadays). Anyways, I get back from vacation and it wonāt turn on. The power block is acting weird. I try all sorts of internet fixes, but everything I find from Microsoft FAQs and official Microsoft customer service Q&Aās says, unequivocally, if you have a solid light on your power brick, orange OR white, the power brick is fine and you need a new unit. No more service on Xbox ones anymore, just get a new console. Call Microsoft. Guy tells me, again, the power brick is solid orange? Yeah, your consoleās busted. Sorry.
So, I go to gamestop and get a power brick, making sure I can return it if itās the console thatās bad. Console powers up no problem. Bad power brick. What if Iād actually listened to Microsoft? Their solution always seems to be āyeah, thatās bad, my bad, but itās not our problem, itās your problem, maybe buy one of our newer, more expensive products?ā Of course, at the time, these WERE your newer, more expensive products, and besides this hiccup Iāve been very happy with the xbox one - has held up like a total champ through a lot of daily use, but they managed to fuck this up for me too.

Microsoft has committed many sins on me as well. The final straw was when they put a software update on my Xbox which introduced a bunch of new ways to show me ads, made it almost impossible to use without internet and killed a bunch of my save games. They patched that a week or two later but by then I had lost hope haha
From then I bought Apple and just stopped gaming but after a few months of Apple, I installed windows over the top of iOS.

Politicians are the worst. The more I hear about them the more I detest them.
At least you KNOW scammers and con artists are after money.
Oh yeah, did you hear about the governerās trip to Mexico?
Letās add some perspective: STALIN refuses to leave Moscow when the Germans were literally at the suburbs
My issue isnāt that he wanted to go to Mexico- Iād do that. Itās that he has the responsibility as the āleaderā to at least stay, and at a deeper level, is the type of person who willingly gives up comfort and puts himself in the spotlight for public criticism for power/attentions

I believe you are talking about Senator Ted Cruz not Gov Abbott. This isnāt PWI so I will keep my thoughts to myself 
Abbott did piss off Mexico when he ordered the natural gas stay here and not be sent to Mexico.
