They're not asking for anything, they're pointing out a thought provoking observation.

The lucky ones learn about the finger in the butt and hind leg wheel barrow maneuvers before they have to use them.

I've seen the video where all these methods were tried to no avail, so I don't have much faith in them. The safest solution is to put the animal down, but of course you have to have something on hand to do that. A 4x2 to the temple should do it. That'll end the aggressor and save the victim.

"Should", maybe, but I've seen a pretty disturbing video where a pit bull took a lot more than one hit... it was multiple minutes of hits. And it only let go after it died, I've never seen anything like it.

Damn, I was hoping the shock of a hard knock to the head might cause it to release. There goes that theory.

Do you know where I can find that video?

It's really really hard to watch.


Robert Cabral has a video on the proper technique

You might need something like rebar to stick in the back of the mouth and pull back when that doesn't work

> finger in the butt

What


Username checks out.

It doesn't work when a dog really doesn't want to let go. I think it would even make it bite stronger.

By the way, good luck sticking your finger in a dog but when he is fighting... I think you didn't try it much before giving advices.


I enjoy youtrack for its simplicity, native markdown support, command pallette, and solid vcs integration. So much bloat and friction with jira.


I do not understand why Jetbrains Youtrack is not more widely used. It's affordable, supports markdown, has a better vcs integration, fast & easy API...


I'll say this is the first time I've heard of YouTrack.

Smart move from JetBrains - many companies will already be paying them for their IDEs.


They have a website, a twitter handle, and a GitHub profile with their real name.


Give svalboard a look. Might be some old threads on here about it.

I was with you until the whole tank thing.

Where's the line you're drawing between tanks + everything else up until nuclear weapons?


It is, in fact, legal (but very expensive) to own a tank ( https://www.drivetanks.com/ , yes, that's a company, but a rich enough motivated person could fill out the same paperwork). Apparently each exploding shell is a NFA taxed destructive device ( https://youtu.be/GW2U0qORdLE ).


Who do you think makes the tanks? It's typically corporations, but could just as easily be a person... It isn't a socialist/communist company doing the work.

It's pretty much already the case that people can have access to these weapons, I'm just being explicit.


Yes, that is weird. It's rather normal for the average person to not be so restrictive.


Black & white thinking is easy. Nuance is hard though and might even lead to empathy.


I really like windmill.dev which should support your scenario just fine
