Because India uses their rivers ad dumping sites, both for liquid sludge and for solid waste. A sizeable part of the plastic pollution in the Indian ocean comes from this practice, and washes back to shore with storms and tides. Their government is doing very little to fight it, and the only consequence their timid efforts had is that now they store waste in landfills close to rivers... until the landfill collapses into the water an then they start again. This practice is especially common in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, states where there is a sizeable pilgrimage industry related to holy rivers... that double as sewers. 25% of the plastic waste produced in India ends up in the Gange

    Dogs can smell when we’ll be back home. It’s just one of many facts from the Instagram page that caught our attention. So we sniffed a little more. Many of us already know that dogs have a keen sense of smell. But it turns out they have a sense of time too. Just not in the same way we do. 

    Alexandra Horowitz is a researcher with a special interest in mutts. In her book, "Being A Dog" Horowitz discusses how dogs are able to smell the “passage of time” by the intensity of a scent. Your scent is strongest when you are home. It weakens after you walk out the door and continues to fade throughout the day. Your furkid uses the level of your scent to predict your return.

    Horowitz also writes that the movement of a scent can inform a dog about the past and the future. A weak scent that’s low to the ground shows that someone has passed by. A stronger scent wafting in the air signals someone could be saying hello soon.

    I fell out of my wheelchair and knocked myself out. I woke up to one of my cats lying under my head like a pillow and the other pushed my phone down off my bed where I could reach it. My the time my parents had come round after I messaged them, 3 of my cats were sat by or under me keeping me warm and safe. Cats get a bad rep for being selfish AH (and they can be) but they can also be caring and look after their owners. When I am having a bad pain day, my cats barely leave my side.

    PetMD also reports that dogs can sense time. “However, they don’t know how many specific hours, days, or weeks have gone by. The theory of scent distribution and a dog’s ability to remember something based on scent is called olfactory memory,” wrote Erika Lessa on the site. “It’s plausible that a dog can track short amounts of time by the strength of an odor and use olfactory memory for long-term time tracking.”

    We were also interested to learn more about John Thompson. He’s the guy who lost both arms in a freak farming accident. But still managed to dial emergency services by using a pencil between his lips. AgWeek tracked Thompson down two decades after the accident to find out how he’s doing. “On Saturday morning, Jan. 11, 1992, Thompson was unloading pig feed with a grain auger and playing with the dog when he somehow got too close to the power takeoff shaft (PTO), which didn’t have a safety shield on it,” reported the agriculture magazine.

The bar gave serving men a turkey dinner before deployment and they all hung their wishbones on the lamp bc their only wish was to come home. There are about 20 very dusty wishbones up there still.

    Thompson told them during the interview that his shirt wasn't tucked in, and it's suspected it got twisted in the PTO shaft. The last thing he remembers was spinning on the shaft. He woke later to his dog licking his face and both arms gone. Thompson walked 100 yards to the house. And used his mouth to turn the doorknob, and a pencil to dial the phone to get help. “Then he sat in the bathtub to prevent blood from getting on his mom’s new carpet,” reports the magazine.

    He's better off being honest. How would a sewer worker sell off a bunch of stamped gold bars without being extremely suspicious and getting caught immediately? Admit it. The average person has no idea how to sell a gold bar. You're better off turning it in for a reward.

    Thompson was put into a coma for four weeks and almost died after contracting an infection. He miraculously made it through more surgery and months of rehabilitation. Thompson gave up farming for real estate once he’d recovered. But couldn’t receive a regular paycheck because of his disability insurance. He revealed that he’s suffered from depression for decades.

    At the time of the interview, Thompson had written a book called “Home in One Piece", and was working on turning it into a screenplay. He was also doing weightlifting but said his big passion is singing. "It's just something that always brought me joy,” he said. “I mean, even growing up on the farm, I always looked forward to when the grain bins were empty and go inside the grain bin and sing because the acoustics were just unbelievable.”

    If you are a criminal mobster, social instability and extreme poverty are the last thing you want on your turf, as it makes your work more dangerous. Especially when the gouvernment fails to provide necessary services, it is often the criminals who step in, creating a good standing in the community. In the beginning of the pandemic, some drvg cartels of Bogota started to run free clinics in the local slums and provided free masks and hand sanitizer after the Columbian state clearly did not make those people a priority.

    I know this happened in Mexico. I am not aware of cartels in Bogotá operating clinics. And I can't find any evidence of that. But the Colombian cartels are not what they once were. Cities like Medellín, which were once crime hubs, are now tourist destinations. Colombia has come a long way since the 1990s.

    After. A lot of criminal organizations and their bosses engage in charitable work, particularly in their own communities. Sometimes for altruistic reasons, and sometimes to engender public support and to craft an air of legitimacy. Cartels do the same to this day by building churches, hospitals, schools etc. in communities that the government doesn't adequately serve. By comparison, after the Fukushima Daichi disaster, the Yakuza were instrumental in cleanup efforts. Even in the city I live in, when the garbage strike happened in Toronto, Canada in 2009, it was pretty widely understood that the mob was helping the city clean up trash while the workers were on the picket lines.

    Just like modern day cartels, mobs back then won the people over with stuff like this, while also being absolutely brutual. Capone, his cronies, Druggan and O'Banion, Moran, the current Outfit were/are violent monsters, buying out police and politicians to ignore their illegal conduct. Just like today's cartels. Complacence in exchange for safety.

    If you’re a Breaking Bad fan, you might recognise Giancarlo Esposito in the list of interesting facts. The Danish-born American actor and director plays the role of Gus Fring in the series. Celebrity Networth reports that he has a net worth of around $4 million. But he’s had to work hard to get to this point. As the Insta post states, Esposito declared bankruptcy after his divorce. And even considered arranging his death so his children could get the policy payout.

    The actor made an appearance on SiriusXM’s Jim & Sam show earlier this year. He was open and honest about his financial struggles. “If I got somebody to knock me off, death through misadventure, they would get the insurance,” he said. “I had four kids. I wanted them to have a life. It was a hard moment in time.”

    Fortunately for his family and fans, Esposito didn’t follow through. “I started to think, that’s not viable because the pain I would cause them would be lifelong, and lifelong trauma that would just extend the generational trauma with which I’m trying to move away from,” he said on the show. “The light at the end of the tunnel was Breaking Bad. I had a few little things before to start to recover, but Breaking Bad was the light.”

    When I went to the zoo as a child, there was a door in the monkey house, with a notice reading, "Open to see a picture of the primate that does the most damage to the earth." And inside there was a mirror.

    Pfft! When I was 11-12, my cat, Benji, walked me to the end of my street on my way to school in the morning. When I walked back home he’d meet me at the end of the street and we’d finish walking home together. You could say it was a unique experience but it wasn’t. 20 years later, I had Misty (another cat), she walked with me to the bus stop to go to university and would be waiting there for me when I got back eightish hours later. How do I know it was about a sense of time? A few times I got back to the stop earlier than normal and she wasn’t there but she knew the sound of my footsteps so 100% guaranteed she came running up to me as I walked home. Before you get mad she was outside, it was in the UK 25+ years ago; we didn’t (prolly still don’t) have the same attitude towards cats being outside. Now I live in Canada, I still have cats but they don’t go out except in my cat-proof backyard.

    You are an excellent feline friend 👍..... today we can't let them roam. My cats were inside cats and when my most recent one got out because someone didn't close the gate I was frantic. Calling and shaking dry food in a box to get him to come out of hiding to no avail. I kept checking during the night...and then at 6am a blur whizzed past me into the house. I think he got locked in someone's garage and when they went to work he got out. 😻

    Identical twins often start to look different as they grow older, lifestyle factors play a huge role such as diet, amount of exercise, career, if they drink or smoke, where they live etc. The fact that they were raised separately meant that their lifestyles would likely have been different in a lot of ways and they might have been raised in very different climates which could have a huge affect.

    Remember that your human child should come first. I see some families raising a monkey or some other similar creature in unison with their child and if you don't think that'll make them feel a certain type of way you'd be lying. They are not and should not be on equal standing. One is going to be a little citizen, the other is a wild animal.

    Medical science still doesn't completely understand "brain death". I have two friends who were involved in a head on car crash, both ended up on life support. Both sets of parents and their spouses were harrassed by "organ transplant teams" for days to allow them to take them off life support... They refused. Both girls woke up after a week, with no long lasting after-effects other than a broken leg, a concussion, and a broken nose. They are both perfectly OK today. My Living Will very specifically says I am, in the even of this necessity, to stay on life support for at least two weeks before withdrawing. You never know!

    The doctors did not make the decision to take the son off life support, the rest of the family did. The father had no say because he had no medical power of attorney. He actually had a restraining order against him. He was binded out but arrested becsuse he violated the restraining order. The family made the best decision given the facts. Son recovering ( still disputed how much if a recovery he actually made ) was against the odds. Dad got out after 11 months for " time served", mostly due to the skewed press.

    It may be that it was "just another Tuesday" but the point was that it wasn't "just another Tuesday" for DiCaprio (thankfully). When I studied interpreting at uni, we had to do some interpreting practice using some of Hitler's speeches. (He had an unusual oratory style.) As a Jewish person, I also found that I had to stop occasionally. We had an in-depth discussion of interpreting ethics after the session, which was helpful in processing it.

    You praise the actor, not the character, in any performance. Every story has a villain and there's a reason people like villains, even having a favourite, and that is because of the how the villain is portrayed by the actor.

    I believe Jackson said this. And I'm not living in a fairy world; I have heard a ton of racials slurs used by white people against black people... just not to their face. Not once, ever. (I have heard a common slur used a LOT between friends.) I'm pretty old. I've ALWAYS lived in racially mixed communities, my entire life. He's older than I am... so he may have in his youth, but if he's claiming that it's still just another Tuesday, I don't believe him.

    He was already president for four years. Remember when everything cost 20% less, Federal border law was enforced, crime rates were lower, gas was $2, mortgage rates were 3% and we weren’t up to our neck in proxy wars? Yeah, that was Trump, but I’m guessing you live outside the US and are clueless.

    Yes, it should. Reminders of the freedoms that have been stolen from women should be as visible as possible, but for some reason people care more about not insulting religion (as if it's possible to offend an abstract concept) than they care about how much religion insults people.

    They traded a bad dictatorship for something much worse. Not the first time a revolution did that. What is more, the Islamists got the Communists and Socialists to help them get into power with the promise that their initial Islamicization rules would be temporary to appease their base and would be rolled back after year 1. After year one, all opposition was arrested and sent to prisons or executed.

    A Chinese academic came up with a theory that bc the CCP's division that handled domestic film production didn't allow protagonists in childrens movies to be flawed, but had to be perfect role models. Po didn't fit that, the division that handled foreign films didn't care. It therefore gave a more realistic character. He also noted that Chinese film school put a bigger emphasis on propaganda for the govt than creativity which stunted writing. Lastly, Disney hired dozens of top China culture experts from China, Taiwain, and the US to work on the film.

    Maybe if they just incarcerated the poachers for 30 years of hard labor picking up elephant dung and growing food for them would be more productive. Just letting them go after confiscating their ivory and some fines are not punishment enough.

    Pete Townsend was busted for kiddy porn... after going to the constable and notifying them that he was doing research for an upcoming project. For those of you who are skeptic, a LOT of Townsend's work has involved child abuse. Remember even the rock opera Tommy features two songs sung by two different characters as they each sexually abuse Tommy. (One of which, incredibly disturbingly, became a career-defining hit for Tina Turner.)

    Most of the wear in an engine happens in the first few seconds after it’s started cold. When running continuously at a moderate power setting they can go on for a very long time. I’d be much more concerned about oil consumption. Those old air cooled aircraft engines aren’t the most oil-tight. I wonder if they had rigged a way to add oil in flight.

    Cloud seeding is a regular occurance today. Usually succesful provided that the clouds overhead contain enough moisture. Planes fly into the cloulds and spray chemicals that act as seeds for the moisture to clump together to form raindrops. Infact the recent flooding in Dubai was because of cloud seeding.

    For the life of me, I cannot figure out what body part(s) I am looking at. Any kind soul out there, would you mind?

    Was it *raw* pork, or just really undercooked pork? There's a big difference.

    Raw. Germans eat it all the time minced with onion. It looks rank and smells worse. Yet they still tease me about British food!

    Now we can use anti parasetics but in a case this severe, probably not completely get rid of it.

    I still believe he aged his heart by doing all that insane exercise, which led to his eventual death.

    This boy suffered like no one ever should, let alone a child. He was murdered in the name of racism, and he was innocent of the crime for which he was convicted.

    I'm pretty sure this one is a myth. It was mentioned in one of the sagas but there is no evidence it was ever done to a real person. I may be wrong but I remember reading about it some time ago.

    From wikipedia: While taking no view on the historical authenticity of the ritual, the authors of a 2022 study concluded that the ritual as described was not inconsistent either with physiology or the tools available within the sociocultural context of the Viking era. They further concluded that, were it performed in the most extreme versions depicted in the sagas and the subject of the torture still lived at that point, death would have followed the severing of the ribs from the spine within seconds, due either to exsanguination or asphyxiation.

    They were called 'scold's bridles', and they had a long, flat metal plate at the front that went into the woman's mouth, holding her tongue down and stopping her from speaking.

    Of all the various methods (apart from torture) where one could die, this way invokes the highest level of fear in me. I've read about this case numerous times, and every single time I get anxiety. It's beyond frightening.

    Why was he told that she was dying by the doctors and she WASN'T? I'm not saying I don't understand at all the desire to protect a loved one from suffering, but damn. She was a human being. She might have wanted to make arrangements for her comfort, cross something off her bucket list, call someone from her past to say goodbye. Those choices were taken away because her husband was informed while she was kept in the dark, and her husband decided it was his right to choose for her.

    Writing in British newspaper The Sunday Times, McCartney explains: "At the time she knew she was ill, but she'd had chemo and her hair was growing back. "I'm not actually sure she ever knew she was dying. You have a decision to make as a family as to whether you tell someone and the doctors leave it to you, the immediate family. "I talked it over with the doctor and he said: `I don't think she would want to know. She is such a strong, forward-thinking lady and such a positive girl that I don't think it would do any good.'"

    She was battling breast cancer for years. Sounds like she didn’t want to know, because all it takes is one peek at your record or asking the doctor for a prognosis.

    How can one not realize they are near death? My brother died from cancer and it was a slow death that took a number of months of agony.
