AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the introduction of the Peticure Elite and Peticure Safe Guard, innovative tools designed for pet nail care. These products aim to enhance safety and efficiency in nail filing, addressing common issues associated with traditional rotary tools. Concerns are raised about the potential sensitivity of pets to noise and vibration from these tools, with some users sharing negative experiences with similar devices that caused distress in their animals. Questions about the effectiveness of the Peticure products in terms of how much nail can be safely removed at once and the frequency of maintenance also arise. Some participants express a preference for traditional nail clippers, citing less stress for pets and effective results. Overall, while the Peticure tools are seen as promising, there are significant reservations regarding their practicality and comfort for both pets and their owners.

Introducing the peticure elite and the peticure safe guard
The use of the rotary tool for pet nail filing has evolved with patent pending peticure safe guard. peticure provides today's pet professionals with what they are looking for — safe, efficient, and effective tools to perform at their best. peticure is the next level in nail care. The innovations of the peticure safe guard take all of the positive features of "rotary tool filing" and eliminate all of the negatives.

These look pretty cool to me. We had two dogs that were incredibly sensitive to nail clipping, which was a real pain for us and painful for the dogs. But I wonder if some animals wouldn't still react to the noise. And I wonder how much nail can be removed at one time. Does maintenance require either weekly trimmings or extended grinding times?

My secretary bought this (or something similar), and the dogs would have none of it. It wasn't the noise, it was the vibration. She tried it on herself and she couldn't stand it either!

Try filing your nails with a Dremel tool, and you'll get some perspective on this. The noise would likely freak out most animals. We have a hard enough time with the noise of electric clippers to shave wool on sheep...they always startle when the clippers are first turned on. And, with a grinder type attachment, you not only have noise and vibration, but heat from the friction...OUCH! I clip my cat's nails about every other week to keep them maintained, and I think a quick clip is much less stressful than taking the time to file them down (and if you grind them down faster, the heat produced would be painful too).
 
Regular pet nail trimmers work just fine when used correctly. Just clipped my puppies and he didn't squirm one bit.
 

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
