the younger generation doesn't have to ingest all that lead in everything, but that just leaves more room for all those microplastics

and no other prints around, so the cat came out and, of course, immediately went back in

same deal with the ones with matching the orientation of something with a given direction being pointed at; it's training 2d-to-3d AI image generators

another reason I heard is it's also another tool to give the company wiggle room to say they're not in the best state they could be, that there's still room for growth. under the current system, companies have to keep growing and keep appearing to have the potential for growth, or die

given the cost of housing, I'd be willing to entertain some willful ignorance, too.

reading further, after the knee-jerk:

  • "Of the two cases so far this year, one was in a person who tested positive after being admitted to hospital and the other was an asymptomatic staff member of a veterinary practice."
  • "Only one named individual has previously tested positive – Wendy Hayes, of Stoke, who caught it from a pregnant foster dog she took in from Belarus last year."

half of my loss of faith in humanity from this is restored

had to dig in the article for the means of transmission between dogs and humans, and could only find it from an article linked inside there that mentions "The disease can spread to humans through canine reproductive fluids, but they can be treated with a long, strong course of antibiotics."

The article here also mentions "two people caught it this year from dogs"
...oh. oh dear

I really do like it for something that I want to just add quick/small edits to, or something that can be slapped together quickly. But I do hope this isn't the start of a trend to bloat mspaint and aim to compete against more robust image editors.

The pessimist in me fears they're going to, and start slapping on AI data harvesting measures that they're integrating into Windows, like for training their own AI art generators. But this addition, in a bubble, is a welcome change.
