dog aint stupid, he was going to leave his owner behind if that was a mountain lion and he wasnt attached to that rope.

lol - yes, I use a Mac, and enjoy using it after years of preferring windows - My laptop has Win7. I just updated from Mountain Lion to Maverics. Not sure if I want Yosemite, but my system at work is updating to it this month.

My daughter, very clearly pointed out that there is no point her having the new laptop or hers (which she paid for herself) with the touch screen, if she can't use the Apps downloaded from the Store. That's where the power is or intent of the whole touch screen experience.

(also I must mention, - my error - she has 8.1 and not just 8 )(Though I'm not really seeing the difference, but I'm not the one using it, just the one who needs to trouble-shoot and keep the thing running.)

excellent start to the flame war!

not sure about 8, because I immediately updated to 8.1 from 8... There is a way to just use old school local accounts, not tied to MS account in any way. The only downside is that you can't download (even free) Apps on the Microsoft Store until you create/link an account, but you can run any of the Win7 and earlier "Desktop" apps.
(Unless you have Win 8 RT, in which case, sorry you're SOL because it has no Desktop mode)

counter-point: OS X Yosemite broke many things from Mavericks. I still run Mountain Lion on my main Mac though. I don't sync to iCloud either.

I was worried they might be attacked by bears or mountain lions, but I guess they could just flex their calf muscles and the animals would be scared off by the resulting shock wave.

Not all bears are the same.

Preferably it's best to not interact with a black bear that's minding it's business so that dog is a little shit for running toward it and I can feel the frustration of it's owner. However if the black bear approaches you with agressive behavior, you actually want to make loud noises and look big. If they do attack (which is rare), fight back with everything you have. You do not play dead.

Grizzlies are a different story. You don't want to get loud and act bigger like you would with a black bear or mountain lion. I've been that close to a young griz when hiking with my grandfather but we just slowly backed up and went the opposite direction. The bear just kept on his path forward. Same thing happened many years before with my aunt and him only they encountered a mother with cubs. They did the same thing and nothing happened. Funny thing was it was in the same location.

I agree with you most of the way. I have nothing against gun owners or people having guns in a responsible way. It seems there's a definition question about what is "a responsible way" though -- I don't think being able to carry weapons in public is a responsible way. Sure, taking them to a gun range in a secure case or firing on your private property (as long as the projectiles don't leave your property when you shoot) is just fine by me. Even in certain areas you should be able to carry it for protection from wild life (this does not mean the bronx..). I'm cool with you having a rifle with you in a place where you could reasonably run into a bear or mountain lion.

If you have a proper permit, you can even be allowed to hunt for deer or some stuff like that.

These are all reasonable to me.

Carrying a pistol concealed or otherwise in a city seems reckless and dangerous to me. If nothing else, you can scare other people into doing things they should not do - since they may not have proper gun training. It's the same reason you don't run around with a broadsword in public - a gun is basically, point, click, dead. That tend to make people antsy.

Oh man, and I just saw two rattle snakes a couple of days ago. Thank goodness I was in a car! I don't know if I can live here anymore. Bears, mountain lions, bobcats, tarantulas, all sorts of fucking snakes, black widows, sharks, scorpions, coyotes... man it's a fucking jungle out there and I think I am going to be sick.

Coyote and Mountain Lion stage ruse to lure in a stupid hairless monkey for an afternoon meal.

I imagine those coyotes will show that mountain lion who's boss, once their packages from ACME arrive.
