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.

I’m confused, what was the injury? Did you launch the rock into the air and it came straight back down?

…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.

Not to mention that they were happily selling Kanye West’s Nazi clothing until the press and social media called them out for it.

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.

My best efforts from the script, but it ultimately goes to show that you’re right:

• Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won’t be long.
• That’s enough music for now, lads. Looks like there’s dirty work afoot.
• Well, this is the main hall. We’re going to have all this knocked through, and made into one big living room.

And skins, tanned, stitched, and treated with resin. Pottery is also an ancient skill.

Roquefort-sur-Soulzon would have taken its name from a fortress, too, so that counts.

Not totally sure of the relevance, but you’re thinking of K.C. & The Sunshine Band’s 1975 That’s the Way (I Like It).

Tell the iPhone that the output isn’t headphones and it’ll stop warning you. Plug it in, then head to Settings -> Sound and Haptics -> Headphone Safety -> USB Audio Accessories.

Unrelated to hoist as in to lift, despite similarities

It’s exactly the same word, as I understand it – in this sense, thrown into the air rather than lifted into the air. We’ve started using the past participle as the present tense, and created “hoisted” to fill the gap, and the violent/uncontrolled sense of the word is now archaic.

This is the dumbest comment I’ve read all day but I’ve been chuckling about it for a good couple of minutes.

they want the ability it provides to die.

Terminal Server licensing will be bringing them in a tidy amount of money from on-prem enterprises, but it’s true that Windows App has a heavy focus on Azure and will definitely be aiming to push people in that direction - it can’t even connect to remote Windows PCs.

You don’t need to pretend Musk has German ancestry to criticize them. His father is a violent bigot who supports Russian imperialism and his maternal grandfather was a racist, fascist Southern African politician.
