Wasn’t it “Don’t worry, that’s not a threat to you.”?

I watched it yesterday and I can’t remember 😌

~0:50:00

Shame… the death rattle scene from Fight Club came immediately to mind, but it hasn’t made it to YouTube yet. Honestly that dildo isn’t even large by modern standards. 

No shit… I’d pretty much written this off as a publicity stunt at this point.

It’s okay homie… there are dozens of us ;-)

…the combination of factors seems sloppy. Well put.

It could even be privacy preserving with the right implementation. With a bunch of device locations nearby you’re not hitting the server constantly and leaving a trail… but I think Apple just had limiting API hits and maybe computing.

So it’s possible to run this type of service with this type of database, without sharing BSSID locations with anyone else who asks.

Seems like apple was hoping to keep their API hits down at the expense of everyone’s privacy including their own customers. Very uncool.

Either born without them or they had to be amputated shortly afterwards. HShe’s super good at getting around and doing stuff, basically learned to cat without them.

There’s even a video of him her teaching another amputee cat how to get around and climb stairs.

Edit: Not actually sure it’s the same cat anymore, but here’s a video of Duck.

Love that little dinosaur 🥰

They’re spies, so lying is like 90% of what they do ;-)

I tend to believe the whole project was an ill conceived failure and someone within CIA made up hit-by-a-car story to avoid a lengthy explanation.

Radio transmitter in a cat sounds plausible in 2011 but it would have been a much trickier proposition in 1960. Certainly not impossible but the part I always come back to is the power supply. You either need lots of batteries or a way to activate it externally without a lot of drain before you do.

Covering up animal cruelty. I wouldn’t be surprised if they incinerated the poor things just to make sure there was no chance of the research getting out :-(

I absolutely made that number up 😅 I’ve got a book at home that’s more coffee table curiosity than serious reference material that had some details of the project. I recall that there were numerous failures but couldn’t remember how many, but 14 failures plus one viable was what my brain offered… so I bet you’re right about french space cats!

YKINOK

The only one (of 15) to survive the procedure escaped the lab and was promptly hit by a car.

Sad Pattern? This seems less dark and more pathetic…

Yeah, use one of those to clean it up. At least that’s where I’d start.

Doesn’t virus total display a list of the AV software it triggered?

I generally use Malware Bytes on windows but I don’t know if it’s effective against that particular virus.

I’ll have to dig it up tomorrow, but that was an illusion to a mountain climbing injury he sustained at some point earlier in life (to an arm) that left him in constant pain. He was able to function by mentally mastering the discomfort which he credited to meditation or something like that.

I believe it was an interview that aired on NPR at least 5 years ago.

I’m with you. When I saw The Saint as a kid it seemed like the perfect plan. Do crimes and retire when you hit 5 million ;-)

Seriously, I think it’s a widespread addiction. You see your nest-egg turn into millions and then billions… it’s got to be a rush.

I hate pooping in the dark :-) I think one of the other comments probably tracks a bit more, good cats have an instinct to burry it and then scratch up the whole area so it’s less obvious they hid something.

Honestly crocodile box isn’t far off either. The bigger the box, the less chance anything winds up outside. Every time we got a bigger box it made cleanup a bit easier, the corner box fit the bill and has 2 high sides so no pee hits the wall :-)

Hopefully your boy feels better soon. 

The big triangle shaped corner litter boxes can help a bit. I think the last one we had was branded Natures Miracle. Sorry your boy’s doing poorly, that sucks :-|

It’s length does indicate he’s a successful man of means…

Wasn’t this guy hired to be some kind of poster-boy CEO because he has a highschool masturbation related injury that causes one of his arms to constantly ache? Why is he giving everyone business advice now?
