What is that purpose?

Oh no, not another final warning.

Brass and Polonium most likely.

Calling it naive doesn't give proper credit to the pair of huge brass balls it took to come out and say this in the first place.

This MF has 2 water bowls and a swanky ass stainless steel cat fountain but he'll still wade out in 40°F mud puddles for a drink.

Seconding ThinkPad. Excellent linux support as well.

Encrypted? Or digital? I thought the one here was because all you could hear was what sounded like modem static when someone keyed up. Turns out it was just a digital "encryption" that could be defeated with a $20 baofeng radio.

There are however a few places that are straight up encrypted with their own keys, and not much you can do about that.

911 calls are tracked. Listen to your local police scanner. Even if someone calls and immediately hangs up, they have a pretty good idea where that person was calling from.

I think @MagicShel meant we should actually use the information we already have, and prosecute it like the attempted murder that it is.

I thought it was James May.

I will never not upvote turkish vans. Such sweet smart cats.

plumbing-safe wet wipes

That's usually a lie. But as long as it's a rent house, it's fine.

Wet wipes, one of those foam wheel cleaners that goes on a drill, the neighbors dog. Your imagination is the limit.

Neither dry paper nor a stream of warm water is going to clean human shit off. If you aren't using soap and some sort of scrubbing action, it still smells like shit.

Pre-shower poopers unite!

The second toy I trained one of the cats to fetch and bring back. That's fun.

I made a DIY cat hammock out of pvc pipe and feed sack so they can lay and look out the window. That's been used almost daily for ~4 years now.

Edit: if you have the room for it, these are cheap fun: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Sakrete-Common-10-in-Actual-9-5-in-48-in-Concrete-Tube-Form/3037270

All cats are going to have their own personalities/preferences that you'll just have to observe and work out. But probably the most universally loved cat toys are going to be empty cardboard boxes. Put a couple different sized ones around the house and swap them out for different ones every few weeks. They'll usually love that more than any toy you can buy them.

The wand toys like this: https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/collections/toys/products/da-bird-collapsible-wand-toy-by-go-cat are great for kittens with excess energy. As are these: https://smartykat.com/products/instincts-soarin-squirrel-happynip-launch-cat-toy/ Jackson Galaxy and Smartykat are both brands my cats love.

As far as cat trees go; I saved and bought a huge floor to ceiling one. The cats went nuts on it, for about 2 weeks, now they couldn't care less about it. So your mileage may vary.

Pardon my ignorance; But I keep seeing articles "US sanctions ------". What are these sanctions and why would someone like Kadyrov be affected? From a bit of searching it sounds mostly like being prohibited to do business with, or travel to, the US. I could see how this puts pressure on someone who does business with/in the US. But why would Kadyrov or his horses care? That sounds like getting banned from wal-mart.

The poor is going to get to wait in line at urgent care for 6 hours waiting to get it attended to and get sent home with asprin. You really think our medical system is equal among classes?

The same as someone living under the poverty line? No, I don't. But that is by far the tiniest part of the reason I feel they should be replaced.

On the next page or two it goes on to say that whole story is probably fictitious and Bill was likely never there.

Edit: Found it (sorry for the fomatting)

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh submitted a report wherein he concluded that President Clinton “did not, in fact travel to, nor was he present on, Little St. James Island between January 1, 2001 and January 1, 2003.” Menninger Decl., Ex. C. Further, if any Secret Service agents had accompanied Clinton to that location, “they would have been required to make and file shift logs, travel vouchers, and related documentation relating to the visit,” and there was a “total absence” of any such documentation. Id. Remarkably, Plaintiff now even denies telling Churcher that she ever witnessed Ms. Maxwell flying President Clinton or his Secret Service anywhere, or joking with Clinton about “what a good job she did.” Menninger Decl., Ex. D. Plaintiff’s counsel remarkably instructed Plaintiff not to answer any additional questions about the other things Sharon Churcher inaccurately reported. Id. Lending even more incredulity to Plaintiff’s story, Ms. Maxwell only received her pilot’s license in mid-1999 casting insurmountable doubt that a recently retired president and his staff would be permitted to fly with her at the helm. With the record thus, Plaintiff’s claims about Clinton’s presence on the Island and the fully concocted story about the dinner party that occurred thereon totally debunked by the former head of the FBI and with Plaintiff now disclaiming she ever witnessed the Secret Service or Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1320-28 Filed 01/03/24 Page 11 of 32 9 President Clinton being flown in a helicopter by Ghislaine Maxwell, the relevance of any testimony he might add (i.e., confirm that he was, as Louis Freeh determined, never on the Island) is non-existent. The only purpose for seeking this deposition is for the calculated media strategy that Plaintiff and her publicity-seeking attorneys have devised. Plaintiff failed to disclose President Clinton as a witness until June 1, failed to notice his deposition, failed to diligently pursue a subpoena on him and he has no relevant testimony to offer. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s leave to modify the scheduling order to permit his deposition should be denied

They’re paid shit and are sick of their jobs and have to deal with terrible people all day and I don’t blame them. And doctors and nurses have to deal with terrible people all day too, which is why I am actually pretty impressed by how caring everyone has been.

That's a big reason I would like to see them replaced by AI. Humans can't help but be affected by that kind of stuff; AI shouldn't be. Prejudices and preconceived notions come with the human element and are not something easily fixed. AI shouldn't have this issue. No, AI doesn't have any concept of pain other than what it's been taught; but I'm not sure many of these privileged, silver spoon doctors do either.

I'm aware that humans are the ones programming the AI and are likely to bake in their own prejudices and opinions, but that's also why any publicly facing AI like that should be able to be audited by anyone to see exactly why it makes the decisions it does. That way the baked in human element can hopefully be weeded out.
