OMG, posts load instantly now, used to take 3 to 15 seconds. I'm in US East Coast for reference.

Today was an eating day. Chicken nuggets Chicken quesadilla Wisconsin fried cheese French fries 1/4 Cookout BBQ sandwich 9 Cesar dogfood patties Kibble Multivitamin Dog cookies

Not the healthiest meal day but he has refused food for 3 days so I'll take it.

The food is always offered and the command to eat given. He has not been told not to eat it.

He eventually eats about 50% of food offered. Every meal is random on if he will eventually eat it. Some days he will eat kibble and ignore a steak... Lol

Congratulations! Training should be much easier :D

He does that with kibble. I cut his meat into pieces so he doesn't pull a chunk on to the floor to hold it down while he rips pieces off.

For chunks of meat and other small food items, he will delicately eat them. Bigger items like vegetable Tempura, he will peel the tempura off and eat little pieces at a time until the tempura is gone. Then he eats the veggie. Watching him deconstruct a quesadilla to eat it ingredients by ingredient is hilarious. 5 minute ordeal for a single slice.

I am still here :) I try to not repeat meals that have already been posted. Otherwise it will be post 500 of him refusing chicken, spinach, and Chex which doesn't make for exciting content.

He tends to be fed many of the same meals as it is hard to balance nutritional needs while creating new recipes, but I try to post the outliers.

Captain Killian is not alone! Snap a pic next time you visit and join the fun of posting in here ☺️

A dog that doesn't like to eat was not on the bingo card of issues we would have by getting a puppy but her we are hehe

Favorite game is to kick around an empty food bowl. Had to train him to use a Frisbee as a replacement so he would stop dumping his kibble on the ground.

A bowl of kibble is always left at this table. Some days he wants kibble, some days it is human food, and most days he doesn't want to eat anything at all.

Yeah, it definitely was not on the bingo card for what issues we thought we would have to work through when getting a puppy.

He has always been like this. It is from a combination of an undiagnosed GI issue along with palate boredom.

Hoping more will join in :D

Jan 2022 would be my best guess :D would have been 2 or 3 months old at the time. Hard to pinpoint exact date as he has always refused food since the first day we got him resulting in a slow bulking up as a puppy.

Every time I tell him there are plenty of humans that would love to eat it.

Last night I cooked him a steak and set it down next to our cats. One was interested but wouldn't eat it. The dog ate the steak very slowly and kept gesturing at the cat trying to get the cat to eat it lol. Had to play his brother against him to get him to eat.... And he only did it to try to get the cat to love him by sharing his food.

He will regularly take his food to his cat brothers or dog friends that come to visit to try to buy friendship and play lol.

Thank you for the answer. I have delt with scaling DBs with tons of data so the alarm bells were ringing. DBs tend to be fine up to a point and then fall over as soon as the isn't enough ram to cache the data and mask issues of the DB architecture. With the exponential growth of both users and content to cache, my gut tells me this will become a problem quickly unless some excellent coding is done on the back end to truncate remote instance data quickly.

Sadly I am better at breaking systems in wonderful ways than building systems for use, so I can't be too helpful other than to voice concerns about issues I have ran into before.

A quick question related to the DB, is the data broken into many smaller tables or is most data in one or two tables? If it is all in one, we may run into performance issues as soon as the DB becomes to large as queries run against whole tables unless promised really well.

Bonuses are discretionary. Stock is questionable, especially if it is not immediately 100 percent vested, 401k tells me they are completely out of money and can't / won't source additional funding.

In tech, you should always be looking at the next job, even if you are comfortable where you are. Loving what you do, who you work with, work life balance can all offset certain amounts of money, but knowledge and experience is either always growing or growing stale. I'm guessing at early 30s, you are not in an exec position and changing companies with lead to faster career growth than sticking around for the company to turn around it's books and promote you.

It is always good practice to set up certificates everywhere. I do it for all of my internal services. Each person has a different level of care for how important privacy and security are and some people have abnormal threat profiles.

With that being said, options are usually to run self signed certificates, roll your own certificate authority for your network, or get valid certificates from a service like letsencrypt.
