We are talking about having the pets that we can play the freebie/tricks with them.

Winks surreptitiously to the audience...

Having them for lunch, more like. Shame on you!

 

I guess dogs are better ? at least they listen to you most of the time.

Dogs for sure. Not talking about miniature dogs tho.I like cats but wouldn't want to own one.

 

I just feel as if I have a special connection with my dog. He's happy when he see's me and likes to say hello (also likes following me down the driveway to say goodbye), keeps by my side everywhere I go, listens to me, gives me hugs when I'm upset and so on. Just something about a dog that I don't think I'd get from a cat.

Hey! We're suppose to be promoting dogs, not making them look bad. :laugh:

:laugh:

 

You mean, like, how I say my dog is sooooooooo smart, he knows when i've over slept and wakes me up for work, yet the smart goes away, once I try to show him off in front of people and he starts his tail chasing (quite vigorously too  :rofl:  ).

My cat does all of that. Greets me at the door - and even gets upset if I take extra time to cover my car. Keeps me company. Sleeps in my bed (often on my chest). Cheers me up when I'm down.

He jumps and grabs! 

 

We had a dog like that when I was young...  the dog can eat/chew about everything..   what a mess the dog made... we came home from out for a ride to this mess he made.. we were like DAMN! 

 

We couldn't take it anymore and got rid of it to someone else.

 

We had yellow lab that she was smart and listen to what we say such as commands..

 

My brother, who lives in other side of town, has 3 Australian cattle dogs. Very smart and trainable dogs.

Yup he's eveyones pal, but he chases anything that moves(cats, deer, rabbits) if he takes off, the only way to get him back is to turn and run the opposite way :D

i feel really bad looking at this chained dog.   

any dog behavious expert will tell you that this dog is acting submissive!

and the "smile" is a way for it to show complete submissiveness!!!   

sometimes they do it to get "rewards" such is getting petted or rubbed.

but in this case, the effort put to make the smile and the chain, makes me think this dog is acting out of fear.

 

knowing this, i pretty much hate looking at the pictures of "smiling" dogs!

Got to be honest, I didn't notice the chain until you mentioned it. :(

 

To make up for my mistake, here's a picture of an actual happy dog:

Take a look at the background... that dog could be at the warehouse or shop... that the dog owner took the dog to work since no one watch the dog...  that's the reason the owner put the dog on chain so the dog won't wander off. That they have garage doors open...

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."

    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150

      Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating. The technical specifications of the MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI motherboard are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor Micro-ATX (mATX), 243.84 × 243.84 mm Chipset AMD B850 Socket AM5 Supported Processors AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series Desktop Processors Memory Slots 4 × DDR5 UDIMM Max Memory 256 GB Memory Speed DDR5 8200–5600 MT/s (OC), DDR5 5600–4800 MT/s (JEDEC) Display Outputs 1 × HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K 60Hz) 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 4K 60Hz) PCIe Slots 1 × PCIe 5.0 x16 (CPU) 3 × PCIe 3.0 x1 (Chipset) Audio Codec Realtek ALC897 Audio Channels 7.1-Channel High Definition Audio M.2 Slots 3 × M.2 slots M.2_1: PCIe 5.0 x4 (CPU) M.2_2: PCIe 4.0 x4 (CPU) M.2_3: PCIe 4.0 x2 (Chipset) M.2 Device Sizes M.2_1: 2280/2260 M.2_2: 2280/2260 M.2_3: 2280 SATA Ports 4 × SATA 6Gb/s RAID Support SATA: RAID 0, 1, 10 NVMe: RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 Rear USB Ports 4 × USB 2.0 2 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-C Front USB Headers 4 × USB 2.0 4 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-C LAN Realtek 8126VB 5Gb Ethernet Wireless Networking Wi-Fi 7 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be) Tri-band 2.4GHz / 5GHz / 6GHz MU-MIMO, MLO, 4KQAM Up to 2.9Gbps Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Internal Power Connectors 1 × 24-pin ATX Power 1 × CPU Power 1 × PCIe Power (8-pin) Cooling Headers 1 × CPU Fan 1 × Combo Fan/Pump 3 × System Fan RGB Headers 3 × Addressable RGB Gen2 (JARGB_V2) 1 × RGB LED (JRGB) Additional Internal Headers 2 × Front Panel (JFP) 1 × Chassis Intrusion (JCI) 1 × Front Audio (JAUD) 1 × COM Port (JCOM) 1 × JDASH Tuning Controller 1 × TPM 2.0 Header The free TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. The NAND flash is based on TLC which means it has plenty of endurance up its sleeve. The random performance may not be as amazing as other drives with DRAM though. Still it should be very good since it can access system memory via HMB to use it as its DRAM cache. The technical specifications of the TeamGroup 512GB G50 NVMe SSD are given in the table below: Specification Value Model / Part Number TM8FFE512G0C129 Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen4x4 with NVMe Sequential Read Speed Up to 5,000 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 2,500 MB/s Endurance (TBW) 325 TBW DRAM Cache No Cache Technology SLC Cache Controller InnoGrit Controller Solution Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C Weight 7 g Dimensions 80.0 × 22.0 × 3.7 mm Vibration Resistance 80 Hz ~ 2,000 Hz / 20G Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5 ms MTBF 3,000,000 hours Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 TM8FFE512G0C129 512GB SSD (free gift): $149.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
