He does, you can see the shadow of the left front one, and I’m guessing from the way he is leaning with his front foot in the air, he was moving left when the photo was taken so the hind left is being hidden behind his front right.
But you’re right, at first glance it does look like he has no left legs.
Steve… I answered you in two places in yesterday’s comments…. One was at length where you asked me about historical Republicans and Democrats, so I hope you see it!
I think some clips have just been copied too many times, and have lost some resolution..
I’m not convinced AI can do this much… like the realistic facial expressions and motion. I’ve only seen very brief, simple movements. But I may be behind the times.
I knew some identical triplets, as teenage boys, and even that is very rare.
However… These girls might not be identical; for instance #1 and #2 might just look like sisters.
Or the whole thing might be AI, since I saw it on many websites, all saying things like “It’s my mother’s birthday” but with no names or other information.
AI clones people pretty well, like all those stewardesses in the pizza pictures.
Oh, Yes, and it is something I have seen myself.
I had heard about them in the neighbourhood, and I was in the local 7-Eleven store, when they came in. They were abut 10 or 12 years old at the time. All identical. All dressed identical (that’s the way the mother wanted it).
All that the clerk behind the counter could say after they had left was: “Wow. Just Wow!”
Interestingly, I start looking at this woman with a 1929 mind as: OK, blonde, maybe wavy hair, fairly clear skin, nice eyes, no absolutely turnoff tattoes or metal adornments.
All some basic, unnecessary things to start a certain attraction. But…Who Is She? What is her background that forms her? Where did she come from? What are her passions? Who or what does she love? Who or what does she hate? Who does she want to be? Can she make it on her own, or can I help? Does she understand me? Does she want to help me be who I want to be?
I’m still learning after 50 years of marriage, but I wonder, what I (or she) could have asked? I love my wife. Would these, and other questions, have mattered in the long run. Are we fated to be together? I’d like to think so, but could she have chosen someone different and better for her?
If you could talk to yourself as a kid and ask these questions, what ones would you add?
When it comes to love, I’ve never been able to make completely rational choices, or have a checklist of desirable qualities.
Yes, I’ve been able to walk away from some really non-negotiable bad traits… drug use, craziness, cruelty… But I sometimes start to fall first, then realize, and apply the brakes.
Of course, irrational choices can make bad long term prospects… that may be why I’m single now.
Not saying they were all bad … my ex husband was my best friend for many years, and a great one died 6 years ago… but some were just ill considered, or just didn’t fit into my future.

As for Carole Lombard, she was a famous actress, and there’s lots to read about her background…. a bit too late now 🤔
The love of Clark Gable’s life, she died in a plane crash, flying home from a WWII bond drive.

“Hey, little guy! Why so blue?”

cool, except for the use of the adjective ‘heart-warming”
What’s wrong with heart-warming?
Unless you mean that yeah, technically, it’s the story that can be heartwarming, not the animals, plus it has no hyphen.
But I’d rather see heartwarming tales than bone-chilling ones.
Why does Baks have no left legs?
He does, you can see the shadow of the left front one, and I’m guessing from the way he is leaning with his front foot in the air, he was moving left when the photo was taken so the hind left is being hidden behind his front right.

“Any landing you can walk away from…’
That can’t be right.
According to Google, it’s a USAF C-130 that made a crash landing due to engine trouble, at Lajes AFB in Portugal, in 1984.
It doesn’t look like an AFB… but that’s what it says.
And if any landing is a good one if you can walk away from it… you have to include everybody on the ground.
Looks like he overshot the runway by a tiny bit.
The C-130 was the first plane that pop was assigned to.
Amazing aircraft.

Okay, I get the feeling something bad has happened here…
I get the feeling it’s AI. None of the insignia is even faintly legible.
I’m wondering about that myself.
Steve… I answered you in two places in yesterday’s comments…. One was at length where you asked me about historical Republicans and Democrats, so I hope you see it!
I’ll go look right now!
It’s posted in too many places to get the real story… But some said it was a retirement ceremony for the dog, and she was his handler.
But the fuzzy insignia IS oddly suspicious.
Ok… I searched again, and this time I found a little video on Instagram. I don’t have an account there, so I hope this link works.
It’s only about a minute, and the first few seconds show this dog and handler, moving… I don’t think it it could be done with AI, but what do I know.

It’s ai. Nothing is distinct. When it goes to the puppy in training, there is no fur, just color.
I think some clips have just been copied too many times, and have lost some resolution..

If it can, we soon won’t need high priced actors!
Not a dud in the bunch!
So…. would they be “duds” if they’re not pretty enough?
If they were dudes?
Um…er…squirm…
Identical quads? Is that possible?
Quite possible but incredibly rare.

The girls look too young in any case

What, no thorns?
He must look really unappetizing! 😉

Ta Da!!! Now, for my next trick….
The look on her face is perfect.
“No, really! I meant to do that.”
Demonstrating her feline grace….

Sigh…..
Or you could put it that all the rest have 3 yellow stripes and 3 red or blue…
But that one has only 2 yellow, and 4 red.
See? I have no memory left to remember the first after looking at the third. I’m becoming a guppy.
I knew a coupe of Guppies. The fish was named for their naturalist grandfather. They are very nice people…
I was awake sometime after three this morning and i didn’t even try it then.

As two people portrayed Thing, I can’t tell you whose hand that is.
It must have gotten crowded in that tiny box.
Good thing they didn’t need any spare hands…
Now for sale to James Bond villains only …
Seems a dangerous way to do it.
And some of that stuff looked possible to refurbish, or use parts from. We have to start looking at waste in new ways.

The jellyfish and the plastic bag looks like a probable good match.
The only problem is that it might actually happen…
I’ve seen those bags floating around at the beach like seductive she-jellies.
They might be able to mate, but the offspring are microplastics.
