I'm in the US but it sounds similar. It's hopefully good enough to track down a pet owner, but I wouldn't trust it to learn the correct name of the person in front of you. It could lead to a previous owner or it could be registered to someone else in the family.

They use RFID/NFC but at a lower frequency that your phone can read. There are pet chip readers for as low as $18 on Amazon. Might be awkward getting caught scanning your friend's pet though, and I'm not sure you'd get their info.

The one time I found a stray dog the chip only gave a number. The dog also had a collar that had that number on it and a website like FindMyDog or something. But when I put that number in, it just gave info for a local shelter. I went to the shelter and they confirmed it was a microchip number and they had records showing they had owned that chip but had given that chip to another shelter. The second shelter gave me the owner's info.

So, basically, I think the pet owner has to upload their info to a pet finder website, or else a vet can look up where the chip came from and whoever implanted it might be able to give you the owner's info.

I weigh about 160lbs. I wore them every day and I'm on my feet all day long and they got wet a lot. They didn't fall apart, they just looked like crap and hardened and probably stank

I've worn a couple pairs of those same Ryno boots. They're actually quite comfortable. I think I still have a pair. Mine last about 8 months or so

I absolutely did not say that. JFC...

No, where the fuck could you have possibly gotten that?

I'm not saying chill out about the attack, I'm saying chill out about the impeachment vote. It was a failure from the start. Democrats aren't fascist for voting against it. The only real effect of voting against it is that it saved us two months of republican's soundbites about how "trump derangement syndrome is so bad it's making them want to take away the ability to defend America" and shit like that.

If you're talking about American public opinion having double standards, ok. If you're talking about me, you're putting words in my mouth.

I'm sure to get dumped on for saying this but ya'll need to chill out. President's generally have authority to carry out military strikes. I can't think of one in my lifetime that didn't bomb somebody without congressional approval beforehand. Declaring war is a different matter but all the differences and nuances and where exactly the lines are, is not something courts have ever really figured out.

This impeachment resolution specifically said he declared war and he should be impeached because it's Congress' job to declare war. That's the entirety of the complaint. It's short. And it's lazy. He didn't declare war. He certainly risked starting a war, but he didn't declare one. Democrats would have looked stupid for impeaching him for something he didn't actually do and it would have failed just on the language alone. It did fail. And it should have.

All this 'democrats are traitors' or 'they're supporting fascism' or 'stabbing us in the back' is crazy. They put forth a really bad impeachment resolution and it got shot down. You should be mad at AOC and Green for putting up a horrible impeachment resolution. It probably looked better last week when it looked like a real war might happen, but I don't see anything impeachable here. If there is something, it's deep and nuanced, it's something that no one has ever agreed on the interpretation of, it's something that Congress has let Presidents get away with for decades.

We're not getting rid of this asshole by persuading the public that he disobeyed some highly nuanced technicality that nobody even agrees on. Shit, I'm getting sleepy just thinking about listening to a congressional hearing on it.

I wouldn't know. I just passed the mensa test because I've always been good with tests, but I don't think I'm smarter than anybody in terms of brain horsepower.

However, I'm curious about how things work and retain information like crazy. I've come to realize not everybody does that. Some people think I'm really smart but it's more like I have experience or interest that they don't have in the thing they think I'm smart at.
