What do you do if it comes up positive? Presumably if you know it's a risk, you'd leave your phone in airplane mode or at home, and if you know it's happening you've already been recorded?
No, but he thinks another soldier did. It's a bit of a grim tale (though that page doesn't cite its sources, so take this with a grain of salt):
the kitten was one of two who were orphaned after a soldier shot their mother for “yeowling”. The marine who adopted the other kitten killed it after rolling over on it in his sleep.
But Praytor’s kitten survived. He fed her on meat from ration cans. After Praytor left her to return home, she became something of a mascot for the company’s public information office. Praytor believed another marine, corporal Conrad Fisher, eventually adopted her and brought her home to the United States.
Edit: this history enthusiast's page corroborates the story with a citation of Frank D. Praytor, "The Commandant and the Cat," The Greybeards 23, no. 3 (May-June 2009): 30-31, 65
If you're running a place like this, you're likely to want to reduce your liability risk as much as possible, I imagine. Doubly so in as litigious a country as the USA.
...to relocate to one of our finest remaining canine centers. I thought so much of Doggy Daycare that I elected to establish my Pack here, in the Play Room so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors. I have been proud to call Doggy Daycare my home.
And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to Doggy Daycare. It's safer here.
I've seen people dismiss this as purely praise for Slater (about whom I know nothing), but it's very hard not to read these statements from the tweet:
Great pick by @realDonaldTrump.
He likes that Gail Slater was given a prominent role. Fair enough – the ping of Trump's account seems pandering, but it's not exactly a million-dollar donation to his inauguration.
10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.
Implies Republicans look to promote small businesses against tech monopolies. Demonstrably not the case.
People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.
Suggests the Trump Admin are the bastions against Silicon Valley giants. Completely laughable.
I can't think of a single company worse at naming products and services than Microsoft. They have an abysmal track record. Some examples off the top of my head, all of which make web searches near-impossible:
They renamed Office 365 to just "365" (and then "365 Copilot"). The mind boggles.
They named their light extensible code editor "Visual Studio Code", despite the fact that they had a long-established IDE (for code) called "Visual Studio".
They called their application framework "the .NET framework".
They called the replacement framework ".NET Core", and after a few major versions, changed to calling it ".NET", but it's totally distinct from the .NET framework.
They called their ninth major desktop operating system "Windows 7", then followed up with "Windows 8" and... "Windows 10".
Their native web app replacement for Outlook is called "New Outlook".
They recently renamed their Remote Desktop app "Windows App". I have no words.
Things I'd want to know before deciding for myself whether the screenshot montage is real, regardless of whether Trump shared it (he did):
Have we seen other screenshots where Trump use enormous font sizes? Is that how bigger system text looks in this app? He's not exactly youthful, so it's no great surprise, but worth asking the question.
Is it realistic that Trump or an aide would have screenshotted the entire message within two minutes of it being received?
Does this messaging app routinely display the contact name offset and the profile image vertically cropped? What app is it?
They didn't make a turn into a crossing. It turned onto the tracks.
Just to be clear for others, it did so at a crossing. That's still obviously not what it should have done and it's no defence of the self-driving feature, but I read your comment as suggesting it had found its way onto train tracks by some other route.
Hah, I guess my sarcasm got missed on this comment! The premise that fish can't feel pain because we don't know for a certainty that they can is blatantly just mental gymnastics to justify the continued practice of a cruel hobby.
