Looking up apple wine recipes, but now I'm afraid.

Definitely. We don't actually eat that much but my wife uses them as street-level diplomacy.

The chances of training a random dog to that standard must be really low. I've not managed it with my own dogs even with what I learned from GDs. Even when he's sleeping he's an idiot.

We used to puppy walk for Guide Dogs. Of the 5 we did, two failed (alternate career track). One was frightened of children after some kids jumped out wearing mask at Halloween. The other didn't want to make decisions. And this was with puppies bred specifically for it.

The strangest thing was the CPU had a loud speaker.

CPU activity played a note.

The machine was quite musical.

It had a tendency to crash if idle, and took a few days to recover.

So it had programs to run that played songs to keep it busy.

If you walked by at night it was singing to itself.
