That's a perfectly acceptable way to hold a puppy. Its mother could have carried it the same way (though probably when the pup was a bit smaller).

Made kangaroo burgers a while back for the family, didn't tell most of them before hand because I wanted unbiased reactions. But three out of five didn't like it, so I probably won't do it again.
Sometimes if people get something they're not expecting, they'll think it's bad (e.g. getting cold coffee while expecting cola).
If you told them that you had tried something different with the burgers so they weren't expecting the usual beef flavor (or whatever you usually use), would they have still disliked it?

And its skin hasn't gotten any more tough since then, but it's gotten quite a bit heavier. You should never pick up an animal by the scruff of its neck unless it's very young.
-
@pie_flavor Never? I would think that would depend on the size of the animal as it grows, but I seem to recall seeing even large cubs, like tiger or lion cubs (while they're still of a size that someone can pick them up), being lifted by their scruffs and being fine.

@TimeBandit So how close are they to binary loadlifters, and are they reliable enough to skip out on work and mess around at the Tosche Station?

It's about the relative size, not the absolute size. Baby animals can be picked up like that; adult animals should not be.

I'd think that's bad, no matter what I'm expecting.

I tried once to pickup a baby human like that.
I have the scars that prove the mother didn't like it

I did tell them the burgers were different from the ones we usually got, I just didn't say how until afterwards.
-
@Scarlet_Manuka Just call them grass-fed, free range burgers.
Side note: grass-fed beef tastes different enough to raise some eyebrows, sometimes.

@anotherusername said in In other news today...:

I consider it to be the normal state of beef.

@dkf If you're not used to it, it tastes (and smells) like manure (smells). And most people prefer their food not to taste like something that came out of a large intestine.

The blockchain-based phone is part of HTC's shifting strategy regarding smartphones, which will prioritize software and intellectual property.
So... "Buy our phones, they have the best DRM"? Not sure that will attract customers.
The Exodus 1 comes with a secure enclave — a secluded area on the phone's chip kept separate from the Android operating system (OS) it runs on — that uses technology made by SoftBank's Arm Holdings to keep a customer's cryptocurrency safe.
"Think of it as a micro OS that runs in parallel with Android," Phil Chen, HTC's decentralized chief officer, told CNBC over the phone. "It basically is a wallet, but the wallet, what it does is hold your private keys." Private keys are lines of code which are meant to be known only to the owner of a cryptocurrency to allow them access to their funds.
Oh so it's a phone with a hardware wallet. I mean phones already have hardware security devices that hold keys, but I guess this is different because reasons.
HTC's new phone will run decentralized applications, digital programs that operate on the blockchain.
Wow, a phone that can run small snippets of code someone published. Major game changer right there.

Also I just googled to see how expensive hardware wallets are
Jesus christ. A device that literally only needs to store some ECDSA private keys and have a screen and a button costs 85€ for the cheapest model?

All database engines are different. Quite possibly some piece of code which performed well on oracle performed slightly less so on whatever their new solution is - and it didn't fall over till the peak.

Nah, that sounds a lot more reasonable than the broad bullshit you got elsewhere. Don't see a problem with this.
The current version not set in stone; I welcome comments and suggestions for future revision.
A code of conduct states rules, with punishments for anyone that violates them. It is the heavy-handed way of teaching people to behave differently [... and this guide has a different intention]
- I disagree with making "diversity" a goal. If the developers in a specific free software project do not include demographic D, I don't think that the lack of them as a problem that requires action
Please recognize that criticism of your statements is not a personal attack on you.
Please be especially kind to other contributors when saying they made a mistake.
Please respond to what people actually said, not to exaggerations of their views.
Please don't raise unrelated political issues
This isn't the kind of CoC that's used for a personal agenda.
The only thing that fits in the wrongthink category is this:By contrast, to suggest that others use nonfree software opposes the basic principles of GNU, so it is not allowed in GNU Project discussions.
But you might argue that's just fair game of setting ground rules for their projects.

Yeah, this one holds your cryptocurrency private keys. So when the phone dies your fake money becomes, um..., worthless? Worth less??
