And it's not even just dogs! I've had a couple of miniature donkey patients (weighing roughly the same as a larger human) who have needed pacemakers and have received donated units as well! They're still doing great 5-10+ years later!

[standard disclaimer of "I am a veterinarian but I am not YOUR veterinarian" and I am not practicing in Texas, etc.] I'm glad foremost that the pup is stable so far, and that the rest all got sorted out in the end. The cost of care is consistently a nightmare part of veterinary communications...

Legal Eagle did a video on this a few months back:

I do love the Supernatural (show) references in there, though I finding it a bit irksome that despite the fact that

I played https://squaredle.com 04/22: 26/26 words (+5 bonus words) Perfect accuracy I find it mildly irritating that was an official word, but was merely a bonus word, given the relative usage of each (never and occasional, respectively) in my daily life...

UK vs. US spelling, I presume!

Actually, this is likely not true (see end of wiki article and stack exchange dialogue) - though the "reversal" is more interesting/snazzy, perhaps to fit a modern shift away from blood family ties and towards the importance of friends/found family, the original (biological family) meaning has a...

Whether or not it is technically illegal to increase hotel room prices (or prices of any other commodities) in response to an increased demand due to a state of emergency is a question that can be left to the Canadian legal scholars. However, most people are able to recognize the difference...

So, funnily enough, there is indeed a perineal nerve (pronounced per-uh-NEE-al), for which I won't post a diagram, because it is indeed located in the famed vajoozlebiscuit region (in all configurations of gentlefolks, see wiki article for more info). However, the attending in the story was...

I've seen that image circulating around a bunch lately, and not to totally kill the joke, but that's a 30 year-old paper they're trying to access. Many journals (particularly more "prestigious" journals such as Nature and Science) have switched over to fully or partially open-access formats...

Alternative: (Yes, the X Files episode came out ~10 years after Labyrinth, but I was an XF fan for years before I watched Labyrinth, somehow...)

At the risk of continuing to inflame a wild tangent, the thing I found most interesting about the original premise of the joke is the part about *three steps* down to the freezer section. I'm a lifelong New Englander and I've occasionally been in stores (particularly in cities like Boston and...

There are indeed saw sharks which are distinct from sawfishes (though I agree that the creature in the drawing looks far more like the latter, with a more regular and uniform snoot than those of the saw sharks)

Another simple version that works for the common uses of both words is Affect = Action, Effect = Endpoint :)

Affect/effect is a bit of a PITA, because both words have noun and verb forms. I personally tend to mentally distinguish them by how they're pronounced (only marginally helpful, I admit, but it's how I sort it out in my brain). I've put nouns in blue and verbs in purple below, because I am a...

With the "classic" muppets (i.e. 1969-1990s Sesame Street) there were a whole passle of human muppets that also could be any color. I don't think those specific muppets were intended to have specific race/ethnicity, and most of these were just random background characters. ("Anything Muppets"...

Unintended consequences of the amnesia kiss? (Also, yikes - this is from 9+ years ago? I am officially old...)
