This is a feature that has been sadly uncommon since Dungeon Keeper introduced it way back in 1997.

Pets are family, so people have a knee-jerk reaction to anyone badmouthing their pets even if the other person has a point.

My sister has a rescue pit. He's the sweetest dog ever - he was afraid of men for a while due to his previous owner, but gradually warmed up and now runs up to everyone he sees for cuddles.

However, when they took him to visit someone in a nursing home he ran off and bit one of the staff unprovoked. It turns out how a dog behaves around family versus around strangers are two completely different things, and dog owners rarely see the latter so judge their pet's personality based on the former.

A dog can be an absolute angel around people introduced to them by someone they love and trust, but if their little doggy brain registers someone as a threat (or even just an intruder in their space) things can go very wrong, very quickly.

The best pancake I ever had was a savory one with scallions baked in. I think it's a Chinese dish? Super delicious.

A smart TV app from the guy who pulled Disney channels from the Tesla app due to a bruised ego over a Twitter argument? I can't wait for this to crash and burn.

Not quite. He was told that there were enough votes against him (including from his own party) that he'd lose impeachment proceedings, and that was the impetus for his resignation.

Saints Row 2 basically requires the Gentlemen of the Row mod to function on PC. The devs actually hired the modder, IdolNinja, to fix the game proper, but sadly he passed away and the project was scrapped.

Nova 8 shows 0 bytes used with error and usage reporting toggled off in advanced settings, so it seems they respect that setting.

They're being downvoted because it's conspiracy nonsense. The lab in question was funded by the US because it was part of joint pandemic preparedness studies, and its location was near Wuhan because it was a likely place for an outbreak to occur. They studied the coronavirus because scientists have been warning us for a long time that a coronavirus strain crossing species and becoming a global pandemic is an inevitability.

Could COVID be from a lab leak? Sure, it's possible. But it would almost certainly have been accidental, not some grand conspiracy to kill millions and devastate the global economy they rely on. The more obvious culprit is the wet markets nearby where animals and their carcasses are handled by the public, providing ample opportunity for a mutated virus to infect an unlucky someone. China cracking down on an investigation is unsurprising if you know anything about their government. It's just China being China.

Hey, bread is served with meals in most western cuisine. The American part was adding loads of salt and fat on top of those carbs!

There are some great games that are in eternal Early Access. Dwarf Fortress, Starsector, nearly every roguelike...

Project Zomboid, which voracitude recommended as a better alternative to 7 Days To Die, was actually one of the first indie games to ever enter early access, is still in alpha, and yet is one of the best zombie games out there.
