I've hissed at him enough times that he knows how I hiss. Usually he scrambles and removes himself from the situation pretty quickly. The soda thing, coughs etc is more like "ugh fuck this" slowly getting up, look of disdain and moving somewhere else. Note that "somewhere else" is often a change from "in front of the keyboard" to "onto the chair that's next to me". I'd wager that it is more about the sparkly bit / bubbles making noise, than the hiss of the can.

All animals have living tissue in their nails / claws / talons, birds, dogs, cats, etc. Trimming their nails is completely normal and part of a routine that keeps them healthy. Otherwise you run the risk of talons curving and going into the foot of a bird for instance. For cats, they can grow these huge dead nails in their rear legs for instance, they usually try to bite them off. Cutting the tip helps them peel off and get rid of those.
That's why declawing is not only inhumane, it is 100% stupid - you can achieve the exact same "result" - your cat not being able to damage furniture - by providing them with a scratching post and regularly cutting their nails - without maiming your pet. There are more alternatives to declawing, like silicone covers for their claws too. The people who go for it are literally the worst.
Not really a problem often. Cats with light fur tend to have white nails and you can see the quick (the living part of the nail) really easily. There are also methods on how to cut the nail properly, with correct angles and specialized scissors. Even with dark-coloured claws, it isn't hard to avoid it. Simply trimming the extremely sharp hook end is enough, you don't need to cut half their claw off.
Declawing means removing a digit in a cats' paw. It is a completely different process to what I'm describing here and is a horrific thing to do to a cat, basically maiming it in the process. It should only be done as last resort in illness to save a cats life, not to prevent it from scratching. It is basically the difference between cutting your nails so they are short, and cutting the end of your fingers so there is no nail to cut.
My cat doesn't tolerate sodas being opened next to him, sneezes and coughs. For some reason it's completely unacceptable even if I turn away from him while doing it.
Cut their claws, I taught my adult cat that me touching his paws is okay and that sometimes he gets a trim. We can now "spar" all the time because he just doesn't have sharp points to claw me with. He can make biscuits on me all he wants, jump on me, off me etc.
Gotta love it when people think words have some magical meaning that cannot change ever and hold everyone hostage
Yes, it is valid to say "limit AI usage", that's not what this conversation is about. It is about people saying "I don't need to limit AC because AI uses so much so why should I bother".
I'm generalizing for people who don't know how long it takes or how much power it uses. The point is a 3.2kW AC will take a lot more power than a PC generating a picture, going further, training the model will take less power than the millions of ACs people use and try to justify as "but AI uses power, and so can I!"
That's your opinion. Fact is that AI is used worldwide by lots of people to great success. It doesn't work everywhere, it isn't "a tool to end all tools", but saying AI is worthless when using air conditioning isn't, is straight up false, especially if you take into account how much power is used by people / businesses using AC and how much power is used by AI.
Yes, yes you will. But you (and other people like you) running your AC contributes more power draw than the boogeyman AI does. The point is "limit your AC usage" is valid and saying "but but but AI!!!!" isn't.
Yes, and you do the training once, and then millions of people use it. And it also isn't "thousands of hours". Compare that to AC - where each home runs a 3.2kW device that runs for hours, times a million people. It comes nowhere close.
You are not recalling it correctly.
It's misinformation that then makes people think "I can run my AC all day because AI uses up so much power to make one image" when it is not the case.
Difference being AC per capita uses a shitload more energy than AI does per capita. Also in AI, the costly part is done once and is done till a new model gets trained. AC is on 24/7.
Generating an image of a girl with 5 tits takes like 400W running for a minute. Yet another post showing people who have no idea how AI works, why it uses electrical power and how much power it uses.
It is not a "polak joke" in any way, but you do you.
Jesus christ, yes, there are no jalapenos in the pastry. Because there are wasps on it. Making it "spicy". What your post and the petulant "hint" glosses over is the fact that it is a professional bakery selling pastries, with Polish text on it, Polish currency and Polish units on it (szt). What it glosses over is the fact that had the text been in German, it would've been a German spicy pastry. Had it been in Greek, it would've been a Greek spicy pastry.
As I said, I have seen this EXACT thing hundreds of times in Poland, it isn't anything new and it isn't a "haha Polak so stoopid" joke.
So chill out and stop being outraged just to be outraged.
You keep trying to find a justification for wishing someone death and jumping through multiple hoops to explain it to convince yourself you are justified. There is no war without hate.
There is no joke, the text is in Polish and this happens all the time in bakeries with sweet shit laid out like this. So you want it to be a "polak joke" when it isn't. This isn't someone being racist / nationalistic / making this about haha those stupid Poles, this is literally a bakery in Poland with wasps on it, which isn't uncommon to see.
That version is less funny
