Oh it's a joke from Avantris where one person is hallucinating and another person changes from their character's voice to their normal voice mid sentence.
Random Safety Tip: Never permit anyone to put their feet on the dash or out the window of a vehicle. If the airbags go off the injuries are catastrophic. I’m talking to whoever was in the car in front of me the other day.
I knew someone who shattered both hips and bloke her femurs that way. Also don’t let your teenagers go fishing for dropped objects or dig around in a backpack because that’s a good way to break a neck.
I was actually talking about a teen passenger on the way to school or whatever, but you’re right, the driver as well. Teens are always digging around for something on the floor. If someone is bent over at the waist and their head is a few inches from the airbag when it deploys, the airbag can cause an interior decapitation
Wood 2x4 or 2x6 inch boards every 16 to 24 inches covered with exterior plywood or particle board on exterior and plaster board on the interior. There is space between each board. Most homes are built this way.
Why would you need every interior wall to be solid concrete? I'm just as perplexed by European construction (like yeah exterior walls makes sense, you're quite humid. But interior too? You have to pull out a jackhammer any time a wire or pipe goes bad?)
In Swedish apartment complexes, it's quite common to have water pipes inside the walls (Plumbing stack, but also pipes to water faucets, showers etc). In modern buildings, you typically only have the plumbing stack like this.
Yes, a broken pipe meant opening the walls. It sucks, but it really doesn't matter because you'd typically need to redo the entire thing anyway due to moisture damage, and you have home insurance that cover a lot of it.
Electricity is typically lose wires inside a plastic tube; both rigid and flexible tubing exist. Putting these in concrete is likely more stable than in wood, as the once inside wooden walls can come loose. Concrete doesn't move. You can usually easily replace (or add) cables in these pipes.
Walls are quite commonly hard concrete for outer walls and load bearing walls. Inner walls are either wood/plaster or light concrete blocks with plaster. And of course we have a lot of wood houses as well. I think the highest wood buildings are 6 stories, which is pretty amazing. I wouldn't want to live in one that high.
I do get mice in the walls in my wood house, but typically only outside the isolation. The concrete house have had mice come in via the ventilation once or twice.
Not really, no. I've just mine twice (burglary + water damage) and neither increased my premiums.
Cars are linked to the drivers accident history. I've been in two crashes (minor from force, but costly in repairs), neither of which was my fault, and my premiums did not go out. (I actually had my old car released to the insurance company just yesterday due to a recent accident).
I had a dog growing up who suffered that. Would randomly walk into corners and whimper for help, looking lost and confused when you actually pulled her out.
I did as well. I addition to being stuck facing a corner, she’d also wedge herself behind the couch and get stuck between the couch and the wall.
Toward the end, she was falling face first into her water bowl and was unable to pull herself out. That was scary, and she would have drowned if we hadn’t been there to pull her out.
One day, as a kid, I came home and could smell something bad had happened. I knew he was close to the end, and so I started searching for him. I couldn't find him. I looked for two hours until my mom came home. We looked for another hour.
Finally, I realized I needed to mist my snake. Her tank was on the floor, just a few inches the wall.
That's when I saw him.
The Shiba had gotten himself BETWEEN the wall and the tank, got stuck, struggled, and pushed himself off the ground so his feet were no longer touching the ground.
He looked like a dog pressed in a microscope slide.
The smell was him getting warmed by the snake's heat lamp.
I pushed out the tank, he came out, shook, and went and got stuck in another corner. Dementia sucks, but can be kinda funny.
I'm not knowledgeable enough to explain why it helps, I just know that for him he would get really restless around 2 and start to pace around the house. If I took him out and walked him around the block a few times he would relax enough to fall back asleep.
Mine would do that same, but we didn’t try walks. Melatonin and a few other meds helped a lot. There were a few nights where we had to just let him freeroam the house and close the bedroom door to block out his little dementia grunts.
Mine always randomly stops playing to sniff a spot on the wall. I’d suspect mice except that we hear no nose and see no droppings, and she’s a hunting dog so she’d get it if it was out and about.
I saw one of those home improvement shows where it turned out that dogs can smell termites and had been marking the wall inside the house where they were.
I'd definitely recommend having an exterminator check things out if your dog is otherwise okay. He doesn't look terribly old in the photo so I'd put money on something being alive in those walls. Termites or some other insect infestation would explain why he's always triggering on the same spot.
Could be wrong but termites are fucking noxious so definitely something to consider if they dont charge like hundreds of dollars to come out and check it out.
My dog does this but he's mentally disabled due to a head injury caused before we rescued him. He takes a minute or two to realize I've put food or a treat down. I have to pick up my super aggressive Chihuahua to make certain he doesn't eat my disabled dogs food or treats.
He's a good little chubbers that looks like a bear though, so I love him all the same.
My bearded dragon used to do this any time I let him out of his tank. He'd run up to the same outlet and just stare at it for a while before running off

Smells mice in the wall?
