It helps a bit. Since he's a greyhound the shirt doesn't fit as well as it would with other large breeds like shepherds and retrievers. The vet also gave us Trazodone[^] for him, which helps calm him down. He's a rescue from a racing kennel in Florida, so we think he probably had a bad experience with a tropical storm or hurricane at some point.

My dog (a Puggle[^]) is afraid of storms but is even more afraid of coats, sweaters and harnesses.

I had an argument with them, was OK with the uber-taxi emails but they kept putting me on uber-eats as well. Finally they stopped (but I realised I don't get the taxi deals either - and I don't care.)
Also argued a few times about their drivers ignoring the sat-nav and taking their own [not] short cuts at my cost. (No refunds, just an empty "sorry about that sir.") Seems any idiot can be an uber driver, most here seem to be foreigners with zero local road knowledge (and many severely lack driving skills too - scary).
What a joke, not only their IT but the whole management system, no wonder they're still losing boatloads of money.

I haven't used Uber but my brother loves it. He uses it all the time. He says it is great. People are so concerned about getting a 5 star review that they are very polite and have clean cars. He loves it. Very convenient for all the travel he does.

I refuse to use Uber.
The problem with Uber is that they are refusing to call themselves a taxi service and falsely claim that they are offering a car-sharing system.
I'd rather be phishing!

I had, as it turns out, watch a NYC hearing by the T&LC (Taxi and Limousine Commission). Tons of drivers making complaints, among which are:
How small a cut they get of the fare.
How fleet owners need 50% handicapped-accessible vehicles, Uber? None!
How they're flooding the market with vehicles so that more and more "legit" drivers are going under, financially: (when they're gone, watch Uber's fares soar/sore (like Home Depot for hardware).
And, as mentioned earlier, pretending they're not responsible as an employer whilst the real cabbies/fleets/black-cars/etc. have to meet all the legal requirements.
Basic constant unfair competition.
And you thought the days of the robber-barons was past!
(FYI: I essentially never take cabs: trains, planes, and cars, yes)

1. I upgraded Ubuntu to 16.whatever and on one of my profiles no taskbar shows up at all. Can't do anything.
2. I wanted to set a password on an account and got a message that it was not complex enough. I'm not sure where to turn that off in Ubuntu so I googled it. Of course the answer is you have to run a command line in Terminal.
Even simple things are not simple with Linux.

Indeed. 25 years ago I actually enjoyed doing DOS and typing commands, etc, but for simple stuff I don't want to have to learn it anymore. Just make it intuitive where to go to click.

25 years ago making a phone call from inside in a box was fun, (and just too bad if the person you were calling was out.)
On the other end of that call though, 25 years ago life was easier,
- if you were out you wouldn't be disturbed by phone calls, you couldn't because there was no mobile phone (or very very rare)
- if the customer (or boss for employees) wanted to call you back to the office they had to wait till you got home to get you
by then they often sorted it out by themselves saving the trip back, these days they just act clueless and demand you come straight back even if the instructions are right on the screen.
And of course DOS was fun, you typed a something and the computer did it, it was a command and had to be obeyed.
These days you can click, but to the computer it's only a suggestion, it can choose not to do it.
