No, but the public they are rescuing from a private burning building do. Or should they be dressed in their best dinner attire, in the event that they may require emergency assistance?

...PETA's tendency to impose pressure on employees to end contact with intentionally non-vegan/non-vegetarian friends and family members...

I live quite close to PETA's world HQ and know several people employed there. I've never seen any evidence of anything like this. I personally am vegetarian, but share mutual non-veg friends with those PETA employees with no issue.

There is a XLR adapter for the EOS 5D Mark II. It's made by Beachtek.

The Samsung Instinct has no hardware keyboard either. The on screen keyboard is horrible. Cramped, slow, I have to use the stylus that is included to type with any sort of reasonable accuracy. Personally, I've been looking forward to the Pre as a replacement for my Instinct. The Instinct STILL feels unfinished and clunky.

Then your new alter ego sounds delicious.
