#Dogstr facts #CaneCorso don't need to be trained to protect their pack. It's instinctive & intuitive.
The only thing they need to be trained on are specific words/commands.
This one is protecting her grandma. There are no fences or barriers.
Just don't come here if I don't know you.
Sunrise police dept:
Sister#1 calls me, she's got a flat and her, hubby & niece are late for a graduation.
She got to the graduation on time and I was left on the side of the road with an SUV and a flat.
Popo eventually pulls up and my other sister#3 who was with me in my car that doesn't have a flat explains the situation to popo and the #dogstr that is thirsty for action on the side of the road at an attention & focus position.
He asked me to show him my firearm and put it in the car while I change the tire. Which I gladly accommodated.
He was mad cool didn't ask me where I was going or coming from in fact they pulled out to the middle lane to make sure traffic gave us a wide berth as I changed the flat tire.
All that to say, police are there to protect and serve. Are their some shady cops out there? Yes. But the great majority just wanna do some good and return home to their families.
To the Sunrise and Plantation FL police departments.....I appreciate you.
And to my sister... Marry a dude that can change a spare tire when you get a flat. I love my brother in law and obviously my niece and sister do too. But jeeez loueeezzz, you can't change a flat?!

Mom has lost 37lbs in 2 months. She can probably afford to lose another 30lbs considering her height. And we'll for me, I've gained almost 10lbs but my waist line has gone down almost 3".
We're both losing the bad weight and hopefully holding the good weight.

Witnessed a Home Depot parking lot showdown this morning! Old lady vs. Mr. Camaro for a spot. She gave him an earful (hilarious!) and guess what? Chivalry prevailed! #RespectYourElders #UnexpectedHero #DoggoAndPopcorn
Mr. Camaro backed out and relinquished the spot. Lady was about 4' nothing and <100 lbs. #Dogstr

If you are a real bitcoiner does it matter if you're an agent of the state or a spook?!
I'm of mind if your a bitcoiner, that trumps all else.
Regardless, I pay attention when this one speaks bc I also believe there is no second best.

I've been following this channel for sometime. Most of the content is a bit deeper down the rabbit hole then my family is capable of digesting. But I think this one might have answers to some questions they have (subconsciously).
We'll see 🤷🏽♂️
I was thinking it, but you said it. However, I'm optimistic.
Much of my optimism for the younger generation comes from my engagement with many of the #Nostrplebs I engage with here.
Many of whom are doing much more important work at their age then what I was doing. I thought I was doing important work. But it was all....well let's just say in retrospect I was a piece on the gameboard.
It's a bit awkward when people thank you for doing what you accept to be your duty.
Them: Thanks for taking care of your mom.
Me: OK. You're welcome? 👀🤨
Or
Them: Thank you for coming to work on time.
Me: OK. You're welcome? 👀🤨

Today I pulled up a few of these old voicemails and had mom hear her own voice.
It was a voicemail of her telling me that she's praying for me and thinking about me and to be careful. It was a voicemail from 7 years ago.
I need to download and save these. In case she chooses to never speak again that I might have those artifacts to share and pass on to the next generation.
Not all spooks are evil. In fact many if not most of them think they're working towards what's in our best interest. But heck, what do I know.

The team at nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm know their business and they do it very well.
Many thanks to Moritz for helping me get my configuration configured. ✌🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾🙏🏾
I'm going to play around with things, see what I can break and fix myself 👀.

#Dogstr thoughts... "wen game start?"
Matters not that it's 6am. She's ready to watch the game.
Hey UKBP not directed at you specifically. Just felt like a good thread for my brain diarrhea of the moment. But def wanna check out what your thoughts are on the subject as well.
Fame comes with a side order of many perks that make life seem lavish. But there are other costs. Talk to the Aldi founders about the costs.
This reply is not a judgement against those that operate and rely on fame for a living. I get that. We all have bills to pay.
But if you don't need fame to provide for your family, you're probably not ready to pay those costs.
I understand why one might have that understanding. Pre Internet, information was contained and compartmentalized. So unless you were important enough to know someone that was slightly more important than you kinetic force (the military) was the ultimate stop-gap and he who has the mightiest military played wisely wins.
But now we don't have to be an "important" person that knows a slightly more "important" person to have the same information. You just need to know how to access the interwebs.
So the stop-gap in most cases will precede the point in which kinetic force needs to become a factor.
A rant I know. So thanks for hearing me out and would love to hear how you think this plays out.
The fight ahead will likely not involve guns, gorilla warfare, jujitsu or boxing superstars.
The fight ahead is more likely to involve chess masters, diplomats and athletic coaches.

Columbia Student Protesters Break Into, Barricade Themselves Into Building After Deadline To Disperse Passes
Columbia Student Protesters Break Into, Barricade Themselves Into Building After Deadline To Disperse Passes
Dozens of Columbia University students broke into Hamilton Hall on the New York campus early Tuesday and barricaded themselves inside, hours after the school began suspending students who violated a deadline to disperse from a pro-Palestinian encampment.
?itok=HhY-93jy
"The safety of every single member of this community is paramount," said Ben Chang, vice president for communications at Columbia University, in an emailed statement to https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/columbia-students-take-over-building-on-campus-as-deadline-to-seize-protesting-passes-5640235
, adding "In light of the protest activity, we have asked members of the University community who can avoid coming to the Morningside campus to do so; essential personnel should report to work according to university policy."
Holy…. https://t.co/42Lw4kaRHY

Taking over Hamilton Hall as done in 1968, Columbia students unfurl a banner that reads "Hind's Hall," in reference to Hind Rajab, a six-year-old girl killed by Israeli forces.
Hundreds of students cheer as the banner is revealed, erupting into chants to "Free Palestine." https://t.co/Oi8WgdZmqf

' Katabella Roberts notes further; According to The New York Times, the students began occupying the hall at around 12:35 a.m.
The protesters linked arms and blocked off the main entrance to the building at the Ivy League institution after previously marching around campus to chants of “free Palestine,” according to the publication.
A statement shared on the social media platform Instagram by student groups said the protesters had “taken matters into their own hands,” and would remain in the building until the university “divests from death.” Protesters have been urging the university to pause its investments in companies that, they claim, are profiting from Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.
The statement included video footage that appeared to show the students carrying metal barricades into Hamilton Hall as other students cheered them on.
“This escalation is in line with the historical student movements of 1968, 1985, and 1996 which Columbia repressed then and celebrates now,” the statement read. “This action will force the university to confront the blood on its hands.”
In the statement, the student group further accused the university of having been “complicit” in “Israel’s ongoing genocidal assault on the Gaza strip” for the past seven months.
“The students are on the right side of history,” the statement continued. “We know that the university will remember them as anti-apartheid, anti-genocide activists with moral clarity.”
Protesters Make Demands
According to Politico, protesters hung a sign reading “intifada,” which is Arabic for uprising, from the front of the building.
A spokesperson for the New York Police Department told Politico that law enforcement officers were outside the university campus as of Tuesday; however, they declined to elaborate further on exactly how many officers were on site or whether they had authorization to enter the school grounds.
The Epoch Times has contacted a spokesperson at Columbia University and the New York Police Department for further comment.
The takeover of Hamilton Hall occurred just hours after the university confirmed that it had begun suspending some students. The pro-Palestinian students failed to disband before Monday’s 2 p.m. deadline.

Students have occupied the lawn in the middle of campus—in which graduation ceremonies are scheduled to take place for roughly 15,000 students on May 15—for nearly two weeks while calling on the university to disclose and divest from any of its financial ties to Israel.
They are also calling for an end to alleged “land grabs” in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City and Palestine, no more policing on the university campus, and no academic ties with Israeli universities.
However, negotiations between university officials and student protest leaders broke down earlier in the day when the university rejected their demands, prompting officials to issue the 2 p.m. deadline.
In a statement, Minouche Shafik, Columbia’s president, said that ultimately, the university will not divest from Israel, adding that the school is committed to maintaining its core principles and shared values, which include ensuring no students suffer from harassment and discrimination and no anti-Semitic language is used.

School, Students Fail to Reach Agreement
“Both sides in these discussions put forward robust and thoughtful offers and worked in good faith to reach common ground,” Ms. Shafik said. “We thank them all for their diligent work, long hours, and careful effort and wish they had reached a different outcome.”
While the University will not divest from Israel, it has offered to “develop an expedited timeline for review of new proposals from the students by the Advisory Committee for Socially Responsible Investing, the body that considers divestment matters,” Ms. Shafik noted.
“The University also offered to publish a process for students to access a list of Columbia’s direct investment holdings, and to increase the frequency of updates to that list of holdings,” she added.
Ben Chang, vice president for communications at Columbia University, confirmed the suspensions had begun in a press conference late Monday, USA Today reports.
He added that students had been notified in advance that they would face disciplinary action, including suspension if they did not vacate the encampment by 2 p.m. ET and sign a form committing to abide by student politics until either June 30, 2025, or until their graduation, whichever came first.
The site of the protests has created an unwelcoming environment for many Jewish students and faculty members, he said. It has also been a source of loud noise.
“We’ve been suspending students as part of this next phase of our efforts to ensure safety on campus,” Mr. Chang said.
Mr. Chang did not provide further details regarding how many students from Columbia and its affiliate Barnard College have been disciplined. However, he confirmed that those suspended would not be able to finish the semester or graduate, Axios reports.
They will also be banned from entering any campus housing or academic buildings, he added.
