  • Can’t speak for the other user, but we have had three West Highland Terriers/Westies. All three of them did this at times and could be super picky at times to the point of making them sick.

    They have really strong internal clocks, and if their schedule gets out of whack, or if we’re slightly late, or if something gets their appetite moving earlier than normal, this happens.

    Their stomachs start producing acid whenever they think it’s time for food, and if they don’t get it in time, they throw up stomach acid.

    We have it decently under control these days due to years of experience… but it takes 4 meal times and a small snack before bed. One or the other of our current two will still get sick once every few weeks.

    I have actually had to dial back their portions carefully the past few weeks because they were both a bit overweight. So I can confirm that this can be a problem even when they are getting enough food.





  • Me too, because after I posted that, I also remembered his monologue about how if you steal $100M in bearer bonds they will find you unless they think you are dead.

    So yeah, I don’t remember if it was discussed but I think McClane just sped up the timetable for getting the authorities involved. They definitely tried to keep it quiet at first though.

    But also, Mr Takagi was murdered before John had done anything, IIRC.





  • Something I haven’t seen in the comments but is very important to the equation… Louisville has a very messed up bussing situation and has for years.

    I’m not SUPER aware of the details, but that’s because I live on the southern Indiana side of the river (just miles away from Louisville). My wife moved over here years ago specifically to avoid this issue for her kid before he was in the school system.

    Louisville has a long standing policy where there is some sort of lottery that chooses what school you go to, rather than your school being determined by your nearest available.

    The idea was clearly based on good intentions… to ensure that kids from any neighborhood would have the same opportunities, etc etc.

    However, in reality it is a nightmare. Louisville isn’t the largest metro area or the most sprawling, but still, trying to bus students from every school to every part of the county is ridiculous.

    I think they made some changes in the past few years to make it easier to get a closer school, but again I’m not super up to date on it because it doesn’t affect me other than the bus routes being an issue every year and hearing about it on the local news.

    It’s gotten worse and worse over the years though.

    Again, I’m sure there are much more informed people with better info on this out there, but until they jump in I figured I’d add some pertinent info since this isn’t a local lemmy community.
