I’ve always more or less seen it as mostly just a training issue as a lot of people think their small size makes it unneeded.
Having had five of them from puppies, one having a litter that we kept two from, (Sister’s idea, I prefer cats) none of them were ever really aggressive unless antagonized. Maybe a bit yippey when the doorbell rang or a stranger was in the house, but after about a minute, they calmed down when they saw there was no threat.

Same, and I’m in the state where it was founded, so I doubt it. It’s more just a running joke because it’s low quality pseudo-Mexican food.

Though, for each of those possible timlines to have ever existed, they would have to be played out with humans that have a consciousness. Maybe, we’re that consciousness.

Ignoring the fact that this is on par for Apple… (Which does tend to disseminate to other brands due to popularity)
The only issue I have is the deletion of the dedicated dock port, which should have less wear and tear due to fewer insertion cycles. (you’d only use it at the office, home or otherwise) The other ports being combined into fewer ones is just part of technological evolution toward mobile efficiency. If you are on the go, whether on-site support or between locations, you aren’t going to be lugging around 2-3 monitors; a printer; scanner; etc. You’d normally want something lightweight and easy to manage, so you can be in and out quickly.
If you don’t move around while working or whatever, a desktop PC should fit all of your connection needs.

While getting it taken taken care of by a doctor is the more prudent option, the cotton trick can temporarily help in the meantime.
You pull a small strip of cotton about 2.5cm long from a cotton ball and stuff it under your nail, as if you were flossing your nail, with the ends of the cotton acting as a sort of cushion and softening the edges of the nail. You would then use a bandaid to keep it in place for the day. (also, you should use some antibiotic ointment before stuffing in the cotton if you have any broken/torn skin)
Again, it’s only a temporary solution, but it really does help with the pain.

Just be sure to double-check that both paths are correct before pressing enter, as ‘dd’ is a very powerful utility that can overwrite something if you aren’t careful.
- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 1 month ago:
Not just any human. It should be a board certified child psychologist. They would be one of the few who could recognize a legitimate threat/concern or bullying from a poor joke or a stressed-out kid just venting with an empty threat. And on a positive ‘hit’, should just be a visit from the counselor to see what’s going on. IMO, psychologists should also be the only ones allowed to look at any of the info as they should know how to keep private conversations private if intervention is unnecessary.
The idea of the software does show some merits, but it is way, way too underdeveloped and grossly misused to be of any use.

They took a utility and turned it into an app.
M$ took the lightweight text editor that always worked and added bloat to it making it like a cross between the original and wordpad along with adding co-pilot.
