A pretty long article, but I found the whole thing interesting:
The catch is that appealing to animals that find the smell of roadkill, sweaty socks, and vomit utterly enchanting â as carnivorous pets often do â while not making their human companions feel violently ill, is extremely tricky. âThere is a slight paradox there, because the smells that cats particularly but also dogs seem to like are often the opposite of what humans like,â says Logan.
Nestle puts it more bluntly â âanimals eat faecesâ, she says. âThey like strong animal odours and pet food manufacturers have a really difficult time, because they have to make it disgusting enough so that the animal will eat it, but not so disgusting that the owners wonât buy it.â
Microsoft sent me an email advertising some new service:
And now Iâm going to have this ear-worm for the rest of the day:
clueless people leave reviews, who knew?

Can confirm Capital Reef poster. Was just there and that particular feature was a long long drive off road to get there and was like meh once you did.
The rest of the park (million acres or so) will melt your brain with beauty.
Fun fact for that area of Utah:
It was closed due to the pandemic but one could drive out if brave enough. Waaaay out in the desert.
Unfaithful creatures.
The Miniture Pinscher of a drug dealer betrays its master and shows police officers the location of a drug cache buried in a house .
During a search at the home of one of the targets of the operation, the small and angry dog of the dealer started to dig a part of the yard where the guardian hid the drug.
Not sure if there is a better place for this.
It was/is also used in leather tanning.
The egg thing is probably the oddest, to me. But the fact that the Russians on the ISS donât recycle their urine, instead sending it over to the US side, furrowed my brow. But then I thought maybe they just donât have the technology on their side of the station?
It made me think, ânow thatâs how you avoid tailgaters!â
Basically threaten anyone with a fiery inferno if they rear ended you.
I also like to think the cans are empty. A 3D version of the âif you can read this, youâre too closeâ bumper sticker.
TIL:
But electric vehicles still do pollute the air they drive through, in large part because they weigh so much. Local air pollution from trafficâthe kind you breathe in, not the kind that heats the planetâis mostly caused by nonexhaust pollution such as brake wear, tire wear, road wear, and what the literature refers to as âroad dust resuspension.â And those impacts are projected to rise with the adoption of heavyweight electric vehicles, in spite of improvements like regenerative braking.
Those impacts are likely to rise because electric vehicles are heavier. The electric F150 has a battery that weighs 1800 pounds!
Two days later, this song is still going through my head.
