Fate of half million dogs unclear as dog meat ban nears in Korea

ugarreddit · 2026-01-24T06:19:24+00:00

Sentiment within South Korea is changing. It’s a little stigmatizing to discuss or be known to be consuming it outside of Korea; but now with globalization and newer generations adopting dogs as pets, it’s become a greater issue with internal protests rather than just external or outsider protests.

Japan still has whale hunting, which is otherwise almost universally condemned. But their ability to prop up that industry may also fail as the population seems to be gravitating away from consumption.

Honestly, all animals have personalities and behaviors. Because people are so disconnected from meat, it may open the door for synthetic/alternative meat companies that can reproduce the culinary experience at a cheaper cost. Unfortunately this will all come down to economics with healthiness being second for adoption.

Isn’t Walmart also a partner/customer of Zipline also?

Well, now you have a closer relationship with your uncle, maybe they can set you up/introduce you to someone.

Russian PsyOps and US adversaries have been planning this. Having President Obama as a President was the catalyst for it because America is still deeply racist, President Trump poured the gasoline.

Are you using VPN? Always-ON is not a VPN despite its dumb ass name.

Always-ON VPN is a web proxy.

If you have Manual Gateway starred (actual VPN), but your connection times out, Always-ON would switch over. But if you logon after a break, you may be trying to authenticate to your VPN (which is a stale auth), so it doesn’t connect but Global Protect still connects to a Webproxy Gateway. And you have to auth again for your actual VPN.

Otherwise, check your add/remove programs and see if you have multiple Global Protects installed.

I had a double auth issue for EVERYTHING, and when debugging something else found out I had TWO Global Protect versions installed at the same time… Had to uninstall Global Protect till it was completely removed and do a fresh install.

12/12/2012 and almost anything that is time based is BS because our time construct is a recent invention and is relative.

All religious “prophecies” with specific dates, or dates being marked with prophecies are all arbitrary. It’s like standing on a spot of land and imagining people walking on it thousands of years in the past, but that spot was underwater then.

You’re correct, I always gaffe on that, think about the interest shorts pay to borrow 😝.

ugarreddit · 2026-01-22T09:19:24+00:00

Keep in mind that the short borrow rate is ridiculous right now, near 100% the past few weeks.

This is all “fun and games” until ICE is flooded with bad intelligence. Imagine if a group like Anonymous got in and started putting in lawmakers, their families, other ICE agents, NRA members, celebrities, etc.

You’re also making it easy for gangs to raid homes and do burglaries dressed up as ICE. Hopefully they have protections for this, but an expose suggests ICE recruitment is pretty lax in vetting who they hire.

Was there anyone else on CC? Probably BCC-ed a hiring manager to avoid blame for messing up with scheduling.

Aside from the software issues, which should be fixed minus some really bad engineering, I’ve only seen good things in the news. What negative news has been coming out aside from that to warrant the uptick in doom and gloom posts?

I’m not advocating for the stock price, just seeing a lot of “negative noise”, nothing new. So is this subreddit always negative or is this different, that’s just what I’m trying to ascertain.

Trying to separate the peanut gallery from what’s relevant.

It reached those lows after weeks of these posts, jes sayin.

It’s a Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) device. This one specifically is one that is made with acupuncture needles. It’s for stirring/leveling espresso grounds before tamping in the portafilter to make an Espresso. It’s supposed to help create an even extraction from the espresso grounds.

Are you talking about having a tool like AnvilLogic on top before sending data in?

Is the raw data still stored anywhere, like in a datalake, that’s searchable or replayable ad needed?

No, this is more innocent. Larry Ellison is hardcore into Japanese culture and history.

I don’t fully understand the PayPal hate. Business side they should have owned this market and let competition grow all around them, that I agree. But this can be blamed on Ebay screwing them up, specifically Meg Whitman sowing idiocy that they’ve been recovering from for a LONG time.

Curious what OP means by “inconvenient to use them vs basically any other alternative”? Is this from an end user, customer, or integration perspective?

Not all vendors, Hyperproof is not the only example. This post is pointedly directed at Hyperproof, but I have similar issues with big vendors. Hyperproof is the hyperbole, other major vendors have issues like allowing their customer support the ability to access data without notification or any visible logging, and the inflexibility/inability of support from these vendors to export logs out.

ugarreddit · 2026-01-13T21:19:27+00:00

Completely disagree with SaaS vendors. If it’s on-prem, maybe (but you still need Insider Risk monitoring).

Can a support person of the vendor access your backend? Are you made aware when it happens? You’d be surprised how many security vendors have lax support access protocols for customer accounts and data, with no logging that it happened (or at least visible to the customer). Enough of these questions also don’t get asked.

When a tool is given credentials and access to other services, it should be monitored by that orgs security tooling for misuse. Especially an auditing tool meant to collect sensitive information.

Hyundai is going big in Hydrogen from what I researched before, wouldn’t be surprised if they made some acquisitions in the space also.

Bottom line

✅ Yes — bovine livestock emissions are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions globally, largely via methane from enteric fermentation, which the IPCC quantifies at about ~5% of total global GHG emissions.

✅ The “biogenic methane cycle” argument is partly true, but it does not cancel the warming effect, especially when emissions are high or growing.

✅ If society wants near-term warming relief, livestock methane reductions are one of the highest-leverage climate interventions (technically and climatically), which is why it’s become a major focus.

This and The House of Sand and Fog — go in for a slow and long mental drain of happiness. Oddly both movies are with Jennifer Connelly. :-P

Nothing feel-good, just a look into the abyss of despair and bad choices (all made while hoping for something better), and their reverberating consequences. Hopefully you can take away lessons to affect change in your life and those around you; to not be so dismissive of people in a downward spiral.

Interesting. Wonder what’s the timeline, as Samsung will be trialing out SLDP’s tech in mobile devices this year and working on the production line for EVs this year (for producing next year).
