We had a pit bull mix who LOVED humans, both large a small. Yet it was amazing how many people would just pet her without asking (to be fair, she had this look that said, “Love me.”). I remember that one time a mother shoved her baby’s face at our dog and then asked if my dog was friendly. I told her that I thought she is friendly, but I wasn’t a dog mind reader. The look on her face was priceless.
I agree with the treat angle and it helps to have a higher pitched happy voice, too.

A bridge too far: Passengers on Sydney’s new ferries would get ‘their heads knocked off’ on upper deck, say politicos
As if we needed a reminder that joined-up thinking in government is rarer than hens’ teeth, New South Wales has bought 10 River Class ferries that won’t fit under two bridges in Sydney’s Parramatta suburb if people are sitting on the upper deck.
Well, they will – just – but a public transport association has suggested the result would be 10 bloody stumps from the waist up.

Please post this to the BB thread also. Unfair speculation is starting to be posted over there.

I loved some woman on Twitter a while back talking about catcalling and wishing it meant how she (and I ) call cats: by crouching down and saying hi, and waiting and going oh, you don’t want to say lhello then? Okay byeee,
That said, whoever thinks towering over a dog and shoving your hand in their face from above was a way to win the trust of a dog hasn’t been paying attention to dogs for the entirety of their life.
And talking to the dog’s family is just… Well if you don’t it’s so rude.

US Air Force shows off latest all-electric flying car, says it ‘might seem straight out of a Hollywood movie’
The US Air Force has revealed a prototype of a flying car, something the American military has desired for at least a decade.
The latest build is single-person aircraft – specifically, a version of the Lift Hexa copter, which uses 18 electric motors that allow it to take off and land vertically. The vehicle was put through its paces last Friday at the Texas State Guard’s Camp Mabry base.

It looks like an oversized office chair with helicopter blades on top and a seat belt?

Looks like it was designed by the same guy who used to hoard all the cool parts when building legos as a child.
“Mom, I’m trying to build an airplane but Timmy took all the propellors!”

The video is perfect. I love the subtle quiet of the smoking tire, the thoughtfulness of the denouement…
