Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I feel like anything produced by AI should be somehow watermarked at the source. At this point there's only a handful of companies. It wouldn't be too hard to have them all insert something into the final product that is easily identifiable. Something like a microscopic signature in a corner, with model info and date produced...idk. Not anything that ruins the image, but something that can be seen by anyone, if looked for.

If nothing else there should be a large push to inform the public of telltale features to look for (i.e. too many appendages) to help them determine if it's created by AI or not. While not fool proof, if it can discount even a portion of the misinformation, imo, it's worth an effort.

To me, it seems irresponsible of the companies running the AI to just unleash it upon the world without training us humans to understand what we're looking at. Letting us see how realistic everything is while letting us know its been produced by AI, at least helps us to comprehend the scope of the matter and adapt to the situation at hand. Esp for those who don't fully grasp what AI can and cannot do.

My rotty and my lhasa used to do this. The lhasa would get really mad and yell, if the rotty didn't feel like making out.

Apparently Bangor maine has a big outdoor backyard, is probably relatively cheaper than other places along the east coast and is supposedly pretty lbgtq friendly.

Although that is not south of Maryland. Nevemind.

Cool. I didn't even know that some of these banks were "green."

It sounds like you caught it pretty early. Earlier than where it would be at for many pet parents.

Just give him love and encouragement, and do what you can to help him out. Try and reassure him the best you can through this uncertainty. Im sure hes just as confused about whats happening to him as you are. Sometimes things just happen. All you can do is to be the best friend to him that you can be and hopefully treatment will help.

You did good and you're giving it all you got. That's what counts.

Also, depending on the diagnosis, treatment needs, where your located, and your amount of resources, there maybe places with state of the art facilities that can help. Here we have Texas A&M. They can handle things like rare disease, chemo, dialysis, and complicated surgeries. If it looks like the appropriate thing to do, it maybe worth asking your vet if there's someplace like that around you.

Good luck and I wish you guys the best.

No one ever reports on the reoccurring environmental violations that have occurred at his austin area boring company site, typically related to the discharge of wastewater (industrial, and otherwise) and erosion. Though, to be clear, theres no raw sewage in the streets or anything like that. The citations are always "resolved," but a few months later, a new round is issued. He gets another slap on the wrist, and then goes about his day. This has been something like 4 rounds of violations for at least a year and a half.

While there has been vague talk of more serious consequences, so far nothing of substance has materialized. The only reason the site even gets inspected, is because it ends up affecting the neighbors.

Before, it was just not wanting to do things properly, but at this point, I'm pretty sure he's just trying to get approval to dump all the "treated" wastewater into a nearby river that's used for recreation. Probably something along the lines of...if you want me to stop inappropriately managinging my wastewater onsite (in a historically residential neighborhood, mind you), give me the permit to put it somewhere else.

The community and the nearest city object to the idea. The ability easily monitor for violations will be nonexistent and nobody has any faith that what will be discharged into the river will actually be clean and up to standards. But of course, the permit isn't going to be decided by those it directly affects.

It definitely triggers my trypophobia.

We had the litter maid. It was good. You can put a grocery bag (or similar) into the litter scoop tray and reuse it for a while, but if it gets too gross, you'll have to buy the trays and the potpourri packets...

You actually pronounce the L in salmon?

Edit...the word actually. But also...my bad.
