Human: are there any guidelines for potatoes to flour ratio in making Gnocchi? tonight I just make my first gnocchi by Eye balling the recipe but next time i want to do it more proper way. Assistant: For gnocchi the ratio is easy: use as little flour as you can. Or more importantly do everything you can do to reduce moisture and so you can use as little flour as possible.	Human: are there any guidelines for potatoes to flour ratio in making Gnocchi? tonight I just make my first gnocchi by Eye balling the recipe but next time i want to do it more proper way. Assistant: I’m not gnocchi expert, indeed I’ve never made it, so speaking with a false sense of expertise I’m pretty sure that the best Gnocci is made by feeling out the amount of flour needed and only adding enough to hold the potato together rather than a precise amount. Every potato and every flour is different so it is best to use your sense rather than a precise recipe.	0.291328
Human: Do culinary students have dissertations? Is there a good place to read their work? Found a research paper on the effects of potato and rice flour in different recipes which sparked this question. I was wondering if any level of culinary school has students work on a written dissertation. A research paper where they dive deep into a technique or ingredient and write a thesis of some sort. If these do exist, is there anywhere online to read them. I imagine they would be very interesting. Assistant: Might want to look at phd dissertations in food sciences?

Human: What books can I read instead of going to culinary school? I'm currently working at a high-end restaurant in Chicago, and I've spoken to a few chefs about going to culinary school. They've basically told me it's a waste of time, but I know there's so much more I could be learning. Are there any books you recommend reading that can teach you a lot? Assistant: These have been influential on me. The French Laundry - Thomas Keller Larousse Gastronomique Momofuku - David Chang Zuni Cookbook - Judy Rogers Charcuterie - Ruhlman & Polcyn For magazines - Cooks Illustrated and Lucky Peach are both excellent in very different ways. I am interested in Myrvolds Modernist Cusine but I can't afford the $500 price tag.	Human: What books can I read instead of going to culinary school?

Human: What is the most cost effective method to make concrete slip resistant when wet? The motive behind this question is to reduce the number of injuries occurring beside the pool. Using anything different than concrete is impossible for several reasons. So I am bound to find a way to make concrete slip resistant when wet. The area I'm trying to cover next to the pool is not that big (about 20mx30m) but it gets really wet and extremely high traffic. I found on Google "Aqua tapes" but I'm not sure about these. What do you guys think? Assistant: Let it dry. Sorry. Dad joke.	Human: What is the most cost effective method to make concrete slip resistant when wet?

Human: How do I maintain productivity 8 hours a day?? As the question says, how do I remain productive 8 hours a day. I'm a fairly new grad, been working 2 years and I have a new job which I love. The thing is, all my coworkers seem to be productive 8 hours a day and I can only go like 2-3 hours of consistent work until I lose focus. I don't know if I have ADD, but I have plenty of work to do and I feel like it's impossible to focus for the entire day. I usually get sidetracked or want to check the news, etc. Anyone have tips on how to be consistently productive without burning myself out? Assistant: I don’t. I cannot full on straight do 8 hours of insane thinking. I take breaks. I read Reddit, have various assignments and I shift tasks. I balance my days as best I can between The different types of tasks. Heavy mental, heavy excel, heavy actual figuring out what we’re going to do (life in R&D), admin work, mentoring, training, going to the lab and making sure there is no blood (they’re going to kill each other one if these days). I take walks. I have stress balls and bounce them on the wall.	Human: How do I maintain productivity 8 hours a day?? As the question says, how do I remain productive 8 hours a day.

Human: How do Korean restaurants make their chicken so juicy? I swear to god it's like I'm eating a chicken thigh cooked rare, or a chicken-flavored fruit. How do they do it?

Human: [Final Update] Our fake landlord USED to be the landlord, the guy taking the money is pretending to represent him. [Chicago] TLDR: A bank owns the building, we're all squatting, our lawyer is very friendly, and the potential new apartment allows us to have a cat So the property was foreclosed several months before we moved in. When the other tenants moved out, it wasn't because their lease was up or anything; they were squatting in a foreclosed building. He never told us this at any point, and still hasn't told us. Our neighbors used some real estate connections they had through their parents to find out everything about the foreclosure, including the bank that owns the property. The bank that has no idea anyone is living here. The guy who is claiming to be the landlord USED to own the place before it got foreclosed. Now he's renting out rooms to people and trying to get the money in cash from the "tenants" without the permission of the owner. The only reason that the police believed he was the current landlord was because the bank hasn't changed the locks on the front door. He proved he was the landlord to them by using his key on the front door (which is apparently enough, even without ID, even when 911 is called because this man is disguising himself and attempting to break in?). We got a really good lawyer downtown who's helping us properly break lease just to cover any possible shred of legality that the situation holds, then taking us to court. He's a friend of my roommate's dad who is doing this at a very low rate as a favor, he's extremely generous and we're so thankful for him. I understand how sketchy it all sounds, I even find myself questioning what's going on. That's why we started recording it. We just finished sitting through 17 minutes of footage of them in our apartment tearing through our things. After letting it sit for a day, the footage is all the more insane. Last night, I couldn't sleep because I was so fucking terrified that they would just come back again. Our female roommate spent the night at a friend's apartment out of fear. We took all of the advice in the comments with a grain of salt. This is the internet, after all. One person defended me perfectly, saying: > I thought the whole thing with legaladvice is that all posts must be treated as real, no matter how ridiculous they sound because some people really are that thick. Well, we are that thick. We are incredibly, incredibly stupid and the severity of this situation is partly our fault. We let this continue on for too long. We got intimidated by this man early on and were too confused and afraid to do anything about it. Besides, we didn't know any better. We're all out-of-towners renting our first apartment. We've learned our lesson, believe me. CONCERNING PROOF We lawyered up, and he's having us restrict what we share with other people. Especially online. I really want to provide some video clips so you guys can see the insanity that took place, but I want to clear it with him first. I'll call him tomorrow when I get back from the court. I also have months of insane texts and voicemails saved that I want to share at this point, but again I don't know if I should until I ask him. However I've already posted pictures of the state of disrepair in the apartment, a photo of the rat from the surveillance footage, our plumbing issues, and his car parked outside our apartment right before he pushed his way in to our place. I can't post his name or any photos of him so I know that it makes it harder to believe because of that. The biggest issue with it sounding sketchy is because IT IS SKETCHY. These men are constantly lying and changing their stories on us faster than we can keep up with. They behave in extremely suspicious manners and are illegally renting the place out. They're just trying to cover their own tracks on this, and that includes changing their story constantly and trying to limit our information. They still claim to have videos and photos of us dealing drugs out of our apartment, which is absolutely baseless. That's the one thing they keep bringing up though, it's really strange. The previous tenants were the gangbangers in the neighborhood, however there's no resemblance whatsoever. So we're moving out and into a much nicer, slightly larger place in Lakeview. Turns out you can live there for the same price as in a rat infested, foreclosed slum. We'll be out hopefully by the end of the week. So thank you for the advice for those of you who honestly tried to help. And if you still don't believe it happened, I don't know how to prove it to you and I'm sorry. But I know it's real, and I know that this experience is going to leave a long-lasting effect on me as a person. Besides, what am I getting out of this if it's fake? Attention? Seriously? It's a low-profile post on a niche sub under a throwaway account Assistant: > We took all of the advice in the comments with a grain of salt. This is the internet, after all. Ha! This is way too true, basically on this sub don't trust to anyone who isn't stared. Even me, especially me...

Human: Rookie mistake. Greased my angel food cake pan I'm 6 months pregnant. I was on autopilot and have been so forgetful and thoughtless lately. I greased my angel food cake pan and it's already in the oven so too late to turn back now what's going to happen? I didn't stir it the full 60 seconds either. Idk why I treated it like regular yellow cake mix just completely thoughtless. Didn't think about it until it was in the oven. I know it won't rise, but will that effect the flavor? Will it cook all the way through? I have some strawberries that are about to go bad and some leftover homemade whipping cream I just thought I'd make a simple strawberry cake with the ingredients I had on hand. Just eating it at home so presentation doesn't matter to me. Just hope the cake cooks all the way through. 😅 Assistant: It's a good chance to make.... shortcake parfaits! Or a layered up trifle!

Human: What other philosophers would appeal to me if i mostly agree with Nietzche? Who's a classic philosopher in line with him, and a modern one. Assistant: I find Derrida and Foucault are often mentioned, although I haven't read them myself. I know there are a lot of users in here who have, though, so I'll appeal to their knowledge in this regard. EDIT/UPDATE: While Derrida is indeed mentioned, it might be that Deleuze was the better selection here.	Human: What other philosophers would appeal to me if i mostly agree with Nietzche?

Human: [META/Announcement] How AskScienceFiction AMAs will work. So, because it's turned out to be a popular thing, the moderators have decided to allow people to do AMAs for fictional universes. Not for real life universes, purely fictional. Due to concerns, any AMAs involving religions or real life people, living or dead, will be denied. Even if it's a fictional representation of something, such as The Bully Pulpit's Thomas Edison. This comes with some stipulations, largely revolving around scheduling. You must schedule your AMA with the mods beforehand. Any AMA that goes up before this announcement will be grandfathered in, but any unsanctioned AMAs that go up after will be removed. The schedule is in the sidebar. Each AMA will receive a three day sticky. No more unless nothing comes up to replace it. If you do not have your AMA set up by midnight EST of the first day you're scheduled for, your reserve will be removed. If you flake on three different occasions, you will be barred from doing any future AMAs. If you give us a heads-up, however, and tell the mod team that you cannot do your post as scheduled, we can handle that with no strikes against you. We will arrange AMAs on a first come, first serve basis. That means that if two users come to us wanting to do AMAs, the person that messaged us first will receive the first scheduling. The person that messaged us second will receive the second open slot. If you have any questions, please ask. Assistant: I'd love to do an Honor Harrington one, I need to reread the series.

Human: [NJ] Employee reported me to HR over a list of tasks with a deadline Our team recently received a bit more work than usual and in order to divide up the new amount of work, I requested that the whole team send in a updated list with the projects they're working on along with any issues they were having. One associate who works from home, has been offline for most of the time during a regular work shift and always has excuses. We had to remind him to submit his project list a day later when everyone else submitted theirs asap as requested. We gave him a deadline of 4pm. He attempted to call however, we were in a important client call and asked him to please send us an email or contact x. He did neither. At 3:50 we received an email with his project list and found out the project assigned over 2 months ago had not been touched and the other projects hes been working on had not been worked on in weeks. We then sent out an email to him with expectations: we wanted him to follow up on his outstanding projects via a simple email and then start working on his latest one while ccing us on them as all other members of the team are required to do this. He went to HR claiming unfair work treatment.. more stressed than worried. Don't think we did anything wrong here, just made him accountable for the lack of work he's done.

Human: update] (PA) Just moved in to a new house. Police officers are using (and blocking) my driveway to shoot radar. I asked them politely to move so I could use my driveway. They refused, said they had permission from the landlord. Howdy everyone, I've had lots of interest in an update on my [situation, but to TL;DR the situation first: Moved in to a new place June 1, and a couple days after coming back there was a cop using my driveway as a speed trap, and refused to let me use my driveway. I was peeved, parked somewhere else, and until a couple days later he was parked in my driveway as I needed to leave to go to class, and didn't move when I asked. I missed the class. He said that he had "permission from the landowner" to use the driveway. I had trouble contacting the landlord, etc... I'm happy to report this has a really good and easy ending, although there wasnt a "swift justice" ending to this as there is to a lot of other stories here. I got a security camera, and installed it, but didn't need to use it. On thursday, I went to the police headquarters or whatever it's called and asked to speak to the superior of the officer who's badge number I'd received. I was very nice and didn't make it sound like I had a complaint, and was informed that the person I needed to speak with was not in at the moment, so the person I was speaking with gave me a business card and told me to call the supervisor tomorrow. A little later on thursday my landlady finally got in contact with me and apologized profusely for missing my calls. She played the "little old lady (which she is) who cant use her cellphone" card. i'm not sure how accurate this is but she explained that she had given an officer form our local police department who was friends with her deceased cop husband permission to use the driveway while the house was being renovated (was renovated before i moved in) and there had been a misunderstanding, and she would sort it out. On friday morning (before I had a chance to call the supervisor who's card I had received) the officer in question and landlord showed up at my door to apologize. He was very nice and explained himself. During and after our first interaction he was still under the impression that the house was being renovated (there still is a dumpster on the property) and didn't believe that I lived there. He had asked for my ID, and I had been unable to use it as proof that I lived there as I'd just moved in and hadnt done the change of address stuff yet, which is my bad (I have now). So he continued to use the driveway. I should point out that my place has a garage that I park in, so there is never a car in the driveway, it's always hidden. The second time we interacted my car was still in the garage so he couldn't see it and thought the house was still being renovated. he says he watched me go in to my house and after realizing that my landlady must have forgotten to inform him that she was renting the property again, he left. After bring frustrated about missing my class I immedeatly just went back to sleep (i'd had a rough night previously) so If I take him for his word he was only there for a couple minutes after our second interaction. He again apologized and gave me his card saying "if I ever needed anything" to give him a ring. He then asked if he could continue to use the driveway if he moved out of my way, and I respectfully declined, which he seemed understanding of, and that was that. I KNOW: There will be people here who think that I should still go speak with this guys supervisor, and I understand the reasoning, but for right now I am going to take his word for it that he wont be back, because I have no video of him being there from the first two encounters, so it's his word against mine. IF he does come back I'll have video and you bet your ass I'll be right in to his supervisors office with the footage. Although the second part of his explanation does seem a bit fabricated I am not trying to make a big issue out of this because he did very sincerely apologize. My landlady is giving me a month of free rent (I have it in writing) for the trouble and to reimburse me for the parking, missed class, and so on. Hoping I never have to be bothered with something as idiotic as this again but if I do now I have a camera and know what to do. I made a shitty diagram explaining my property layout some because people were wondering why he couldnt be bothered to move or other questions. I have neighbors with fences on either side and my house goes further back (but that is irrelevant), and in the front there is just a sidewalk and then the road. Assistant: You handled the situation correctly. Sometimes reason works.	Human: update] (PA) Just moved in to a new house. Police officers are using (and blocking) my driveway to shoot radar. I asked them politely to move so I could use my driveway. They refused, said they had permission from the landlord. Howdy everyone, I've had lots of interest in an update on my [situation, but to TL;DR the situation first: Moved in to a new place June 1, and a couple days after coming back there was a cop using my driveway as a speed trap, and refused to let me use my driveway. I was peeved, parked somewhere else, and until a couple days later he was parked in my driveway as I needed to leave to go to class, and didn't move when I asked. I missed the class. He said that he had "permission from the landowner" to use the driveway. I had trouble contacting the landlord, etc... I'm happy to report this has a really good and easy ending, although there wasnt a "swift justice" ending to this as there is to a lot of other stories here. I got a security camera, and installed it, but didn't need to use it. On thursday, I went to the police headquarters or whatever it's called and asked to speak to the superior of the officer who's badge number I'd received. I was very nice and didn't make it sound like I had a complaint, and was informed that the person I needed to speak with was not in at the moment, so the person I was speaking with gave me a business card and told me to call the supervisor tomorrow. A little later on thursday my landlady finally got in contact with me and apologized profusely for missing my calls. She played the "little old lady (which she is) who cant use her cellphone" card. i'm not sure how accurate this is but she explained that she had given an officer form our local police department who was friends with her deceased cop husband permission to use the driveway while the house was being renovated (was renovated before i moved in) and there had been a misunderstanding, and she would sort it out. On friday morning (before I had a chance to call the supervisor who's card I had received) the officer in question and landlord showed up at my door to apologize. He was very nice and explained himself. During and after our first interaction he was still under the impression that the house was being renovated (there still is a dumpster on the property) and didn't believe that I lived there. He had asked for my ID, and I had been unable to use it as proof that I lived there as I'd just moved in and hadnt done the change of address stuff yet, which is my bad (I have now). So he continued to use the driveway. I should point out that my place has a garage that I park in, so there is never a car in the driveway, it's always hidden. The second time we interacted my car was still in the garage so he couldn't see it and thought the house was still being renovated. he says he watched me go in to my house and after realizing that my landlady must have forgotten to inform him that she was renting the property again, he left. After bring frustrated about missing my class I immedeatly just went back to sleep (i'd had a rough night previously) so If I take him for his word he was only there for a couple minutes after our second interaction. He again apologized and gave me his card saying "if I ever needed anything" to give him a ring. He then asked if he could continue to use the driveway if he moved out of my way, and I respectfully declined, which he seemed understanding of, and that was that. I KNOW: There will be people here who think that I should still go speak with this guys supervisor, and I understand the reasoning, but for right now I am going to take his word for it that he wont be back, because I have no video of him being there from the first two encounters, so it's his word against mine. IF he does come back I'll have video and you bet your ass I'll be right in to his supervisors office with the footage. Although the second part of his explanation does seem a bit fabricated I am not trying to make a big issue out of this because he did very sincerely apologize. My landlady is giving me a month of free rent (I have it in writing) for the trouble and to reimburse me for the parking, missed class, and so on. Hoping I never have to be bothered with something as idiotic as this again but if I do now I have a camera and know what to do. I made a shitty diagram explaining my property layout some because people were wondering why he couldnt be bothered to move or other questions. I have neighbors with fences on either side and my house goes further back (but that is irrelevant), and in the front there is just a sidewalk and then the road. Assistant: A free month's rent?

Human: Foster Dog Mom has 5 5 day old puppies, she keeps carrying the same pup to the door every five minutes or so and then brings him back to the pool. Could there be something wrong with the puppy? Berry (Mama) always brings the same exact puppy to the door every five minutes or so. They are kept in my spare bedroom in a pool. I have a camera in there to keep an eye on them. Every time she carries the puppy he whines so much, but she keeps doing it. I’m just worried there’s something wrong with the puppy because she keeps carrying him around. The mom is a terrier mix, father of the puppies unknown. The puppy seems to be eating normally and is gaining weight. He is not the smallest in the litter. The only difference between him and the other pups is his color, he is white while the others are dark brindle and black. I do not see evidence of a cleft palate. Any advice or thoughts? Assistant: If you’re fostering, please call your shelter or rescue who can most readily advise you and connect you with a veterinary professional as needed.

Human: How does an immigrant Engineer gets a work in USA? Good day everyone. My family recently immigrated to the states running away from our country. My dad is a Civil Engineer specialized in bridge construction (when he says it sounds better ha!). He is brilliant, graduated in a reputable university in the capital of my country, and has 29 years experience being manager on big projects. But that was back home. Now we are here. He got a job designing ship pieces in AutoCad for a small business. But they treat him like crap. They give him more and more responsibility, he draws the pieces, has a control-sheet on Excel to keep track of costs, projects, workers, always solves problems that come out of nowhere, so he is doing a manager's job but can't delegate or freely organize himself. And they always blame every single thing on him, and scream at my old man. The thing is, he doesn't speak academic English. He never thought he would need it, in fact, he thought he would need to learn Portuguese because he worked with a lot of Brazilians (before the big scandal of ODEBRECH that is). So I wonder, is there any hope for him to get another job with all the experience he has, although he doesn't speak english, and doesn't have a degree in the eyes of USA? Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this! Assistant: He needs to be able to speak english, no way around it. I know some brilliant engineers that just have a strong accent and they have to work 3 times as hard just to break even, and these are fluent English speakers. He should consider working in an area that is predominantly Spanish speaking, he doesn't necessarily need to live there permanently, plenty of engineers work on a project contract at a time basis. Doing anything else without learning English is going to be really, really, really hard.	Human: How does an immigrant Engineer gets a work in USA? Good day everyone.

I'm excited for her but today her manager who is a questionable cook asked her to stop stabbing chicken strips as the oil gets inside and ruins the chicken. My girlfriend saids she not only does this to cook them faster, but that it also cooks and gets the chicken tender in her opinion. She tends to stab the chicken during the cooking process, while it's sitting in the basket. Should she stop doing this? Or is her questionable manager just wrong? One of his reasons for not doing this is so that they have consistent chicken strips coming out of the kitchen. What should she do as she takes pride in being a good cook? To stab or not to stab?

Human: ( Employer is making me pay $3,000 for damages that occurred while on the job. ) Can anyone give me any legal advice on this matter? Please! I’m 19 and I recently started work for this tire company where I deliver tires to dealerships in LA and San Diego. I drive a truck as big as a U-Haul and when I deliver tires and sometimes its hard to back out & such since its such a tight space at most dealerships. I recently hit a wall at a Lexus dealership and the damage was said to be $3,000. And my employer is making me sign a contract to deduct a certain amount till I pay back that $3,000. Would I have to pay the amount that my employer is saying I have to? Especially if I was on the job using a company truck as well. I’m not sure if it would fall under Labor laws in CA or that if my employer is supposed to cover that damage that happened while on the job. Any advice would help!

Accidents are part of the risk that comes out of their profits. Don't agree to pay. If they fire you, go find a better place to work. The job market is hot right now. If they chose not to pay for the right insurance, they took on more risk in their business.

Human: CMV: There’s nothing wrong with masturbating in private to memories or social media of people you know and are attracted to, provided you keep it to yourself TL;DR: I think that there is nothing wrong with getting off to thoughts, memories, or social media pictures of people you know, provided that you do not tell anybody and ensure that they do not know that you get off to them. In my view, I’m only referring to adults. I think viewing children or animals in a sexual manner is intrinsically wrong, and I don’t want to humor views to the contrary. Don’t try to change my view on that. Some objections to my view that I can anticipate are that it is icky or wrong, or that it is a violation of privacy, or that it violates the person’s consent. For the former, I don’t think there is anything wrong with being sexually attracted to someone, provided that they are a human adult. For the privacy violation argument, I think that using memories you would already have from ordinary interactions, plus whatever embellishments your imagination can create, as well as social media content that you’d be able to access as an ordinary follower or friend does not violate privacy. I think invasive things such as spying from a drone, secret cameras, or being a peeping tom would absolutely be a violation of privacy. I am not referring to using such means in my view. Regarding consent: I think there is no need for consent because the only person involved is you. Any memories or media being looked at is ultimately a memory, and those are ours to use as we wish. There’s no need to get permission to have or use thoughts to get oneself off. I don’t see much difference between using a memory of seeing a social media post and looking at the social media post itself durkng the act, so I don’t see any role for consent there, either. I do think it’s crucial that you keep your masturbation habits to yourself and do not share with anybody, because if there is any chance the person you are getting off to finds out, then you are involving them and violating their consent. Assistant: >. I think viewing children or animals in a sexual manner is intrinsically wrong, and I don’t want to humor views to the contrary. What's the distinction? If a man masturbates in the woods and no one hears a thing what does the content matter? If you are saying some subject matter affects your behavior but not others why? This is a core part of your view I don't think we can ignore this.	Human: CMV: There’s nothing wrong with masturbating in private to memories or social media of people you know and are attracted to, provided you keep it to yourself TL;DR: I think that there is nothing wrong with getting off to thoughts, memories, or social media pictures of people you know, provided that you do not tell anybody and ensure that they do not know that you get off to them. In my view, I’m only referring to adults. I think viewing children or animals in a sexual manner is intrinsically wrong, and I don’t want to humor views to the contrary. Don’t try to change my view on that. Some objections to my view that I can anticipate are that it is icky or wrong, or that it is a violation of privacy, or that it violates the person’s consent.

Assistant: The primary danger is that you will come to view those people as objects instead of people with actual goals, feelings, and thoughts.	0.365613
Human: What is the one thing about someone's car that makes you say "wow, this person actually cares about their car"? Assistant: No dealer tags/badges/stickers. So many people just don't even care.

Wheels without kerb damage. Quality window wipers, like Bosch, that are in good condition. Clean, clear windows.	0.959793
Human: [META] [AskHistorians at the AHA] Hello everyone! From everyone on the team who attended the AHA, I would like to extend a hearty THANK YOU to everyone who helped us fund our trip, met up with us, or who watched us! Hello there! First, a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gskPiUfHv7s&feature=youtu.be I would like to take a moment to extend another giant thank you to everyone who helped us get to the AHA and who helped us make the most of the experience there! To give you an idea of raw numbers--around 200 people watched our speech, ~30 live (which is about average for a major panel on the first day of a conference) and ~170 on our Periscope, which includes many of you here, and many of our twitter followers. Additionally, we organized to attend receptions every single night we were there-- Twitterstorians, Public Historians, the Farewell Breakfast and the World History Association Receptions. During those receptions, and over the course of the conference, we gave away lots of business cards and made quite a lot of contacts between the seven of us that were present. We also got to meet a few flairs in person, so hello to each and every one of you! In addition, we received great advice on how to expand and edit our podcast, how to reach a wider audience, and other great advice we will take to heart to improve your experience here. Speaking of the podcast... I took a recording of the speeches, as well as the questions. The audio file will make its way to /u/400-rabbits for an extra-special edition of our podcast! As promised, we have rough transcripts of the five speeches that we gave at the AHA. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1orBlhqfBd_Bk-_sIf1zTYdsd82HTPyFBWunokXopEfc/edit?usp=sharing (/u/Celebreth uploaded his paper with the edits we made in our critique sessions--there is a link in there, or you can click here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9nqQulCLkiZMXlzV3lkX044V3c/view?usp=sharing) Let me or any of the other attendees know if you have questions! Assistant: This was amazing, and I loved getting to meet you all. I had a fantastic time getting to know you all, and thank you for encouraging me to get back into answering questions here!

Human: My dog is 16, his back legs are really bad, so much that every time he tries to poop, his legs give out and he falls into it. Any options to help aid him? I've looked at dog wheels but I can't afford $400+ on wheels, when I know the poor guy is so old, he might not get much use. He mostly sleeps all day. Doesn't go out because he can't do the stairs, and he just prefers to be indoors now. We use puppy pads, but he keeps falling in his poop, then he has a hard time getting up and smashes it all over the floor and all over his body. He needs constant baths, and he's afraid of water, which makes it hard. Any other ideas for aiding him during his bowl movements? Or are the wheels my last choice? I wasn't sure how they worked either for when dogs go potty. Assistant: Lots of suggestions for hip slings. While you wait for one, a towel can also double as one temporarily.
