Article says there's a pepper ball launcher and a glass hammer, so this thing is mainly for surveillance and mild distractions, which is much better than I was prepared to read.

"Currently, an officer's job is to run toward gunfire, alone, with no support or intel—basically a standoff. With our drones, they're not alone; they know what the suspect looks like, what they're doing, and we take point around every corner.

"We usually find the shooter before they do and keep them occupied. Every officer who's seen this live has said they want it."

If this actually encourages them to do their jobs, great. If this is just a kickback to private industry and further militarizing schools while police still sit cowering, than I know where they can dock those drones...

To be fair to the zoo, everything they are asking for aside from the horses is available from RodentPro. I don't like the idea of taking public donations like this because I'd worry about some weirdo poisoning something.

Animals with known medical histories will sometimes get "reused" after they expire. Time, money, and effort was put into these animals that didn't make it, and in the wild, they would have served this purpose anyway. But those animals aren't pets either.

Really the only news here is the public solicitation. I don't think it's the best look for the zoo, I don't know their financial situation, but I can't imagine they will be flooded with animals to make it worth the people this will turn off. The only thing we ask the public for is donations to buy food, canned or bagged commercial pet foods, or donations of fish that people catch.

Mark Rober's Experiment

You've never seen animals flattened way onto the shoulder, well outside the lines or in the middle of the lane where the car should have gone right over it?

My biggest gripe with the rise in violent talk is that it comes off like those commenters trying to get other people riled up into do that violence for them.

If you feel the justice system has failed and there is no other recourse, than that is one thing. But I keep seeing all these comments saying "why aren't you out there doing anything about it?" and my first thought is always "well I haven't seen your face on the news..." As far as I've seen it's still all right wing nutters doing all the violence. If you aren't out there doing something dangerous, why are you here telling others to go do that thing while you sit at home?

You'd call someone a hypocrite if they were on here every day telling other commenters they should feed the homeless, but you found out they don't volunteer or donate or whatever. But I got to scroll past a bunch of keyboard warriors on every political or news thread throwing tantrums about why "nobody is doing what must be done." Justified or not, if people start going after others, it's going to go badly for both sides. If you won't put your money where your mouth is, why are we all forced to read it?

If you're serious, spouting off about it on a public forum is pretty stupid. If you're not serious, you're making the rest of us look stupid to anyone checking out this platform. I feel that's a pretty fair assessment without judging your opinions or anyone else's. We're all wrestling internally with where our limits of tolerance are these days, but we can talk with each other productively about it, or we can rant and rave like a bunch of violent cavemen, but I know which one of those environments I'd rather be in.

Hah, I figure I do bother some people with my block of posts, but 1) I put all my posts up and breakfast so people have all day to ask me questions and I have all my down time at work to answer them so you get quick replies before you forget you even asked something, and 2) if seeing 3-5 owl photos is a row is that big a deal, congrats on having no real problems! 😜

I really do feel that way I do it is an advantage for anyone who develops a real interest in the content. It works for me in a way that it isn't a burden to do it every day, and you get my mostly undivided attention to reply to you.

I don't know if I need this, as I felt everything was done pretty well as it was in 0 and Kiwami 2, but since all the characters and actors are so good with these roles, I definitely want to see it.

I'd be a bit annoyed if this isn't eventually a free patch to the PlayStation, and I don't know if I'd pay for it, but having this a Nintendo exclusive permanently seems an odd decision.

Glad you enjoy all the different owls!

I did join up with the local rehab center this year. After promoting it every day, it didn't feel right if I did not participate directly myself. Last year I also had another commenter tell me the community got them to join their rehab center, so we're making a small positive change in the world.

I've been learning a lot there and get to see many adorable animals up close. Here is our newest owl patient:

The spearfishing minigame in Y6 was way more fun than I'd expected it to be!

My whole family played the heck out of Super Black Bass! Probably the best fishing I've ever had in a game.

Also how many people will potentially suffer before another one comes forward and gets taken seriously? 🤨

Nevertheless, the judge refrained from passing sentence. “It is undeniable that he passed the line of what is permissible. The man showed a lack of respect for the victim's physical, psychological and sexual boundaries.

I don't know how they do it over there, but where I'm from, those are 3 things someone should probably respect if they're going to be placed in a position requiring great trust like a doctor....

Well that sounds good to me! It's hard to undo the only stuff you've ever known, but it's important for people to see it's possible.
