There was a study done where police K9 units where told they'd be testing the accuracy of the dog's ability to find drugs. In actuality, they were testing the handlers. Handlers were told drugs were hidden in a certain location, but there wasn't actually drugs there. Despite that, all their dogs alerted several times to the location the handlers were told about.
I knew a priest who liked to say he only smoked after sex.
My work has barrels full of IPA. Unfortunately, isopropyl alcohol doesn't taste great.
I don't use twitter so can't verify, but here is the apparent post people are making fun of him over. The claim is that the words "woman" and "dolphin" being bolded are signs that he searched for those terms.
Headline is misleading. This is a food bank that allows their clients to choose their own products and sets the product out like a grocery store.
Typically food banks will give clients a standard box of items but not everyone uses all of it. Allowing clients to pick their own items reduces waste and setting it up like a grocery store just makes sense.
Clients still need to register with the food bank and are restricted to $200 worth of items every two weeks.
I've always wondered how many prophets, witches, and possessed people throughout history actually just had undiagnosed mental disorders.
An easy hypothesis to test. Have a live stream of bird songs and wait until it gets a copyright strike.
India is a country that could be a superpower. They have the size, the population, the education, the industries, and the location. What they're missing is democratic leadership.
India has aligned itself with China, Russia, Brazil, and South Africa. All countries that have been kicked out of the international adults table because their leadership act like babies. India choose to make these alliances because these countries don't put stipulations on human rights as part of their agreements. Indian leadership doesn't want to clean up their country, they'd rather make friends with Xi and Putin.
This mostly comes from their population voting in religious nationalists, which I hope is a good lesson to everyone as to why that's such a bad idea.
How in the hell you tink airplanes will fly?
Don't buy AAA games at release, and instead try out popular indie titles. They're usually a quarter of the price and some of them have become my favourite games of all time. Indie games have small teams of passionate devs who have total creative control.
AAA games will typically release a "game of the year" edition a year or so after release with twice the amount of content the original game had for half the price.
I think the most novel proposal we put forward in the report is taxing the total real estate holdings of large landowners, as opposed to individually taxing each property using the aforementioned brackets. This could entail situations where large landowners own a portfolio of properties, each falling below that $3 million threshold, but that cumulatively add up to tens of millions of dollars. In this scenario, by taxing the total holdings instead of each property separately, these owners would no longer be able to avoid paying those progressive property tax rates.
There's a few interesting bits to this article, but I like this one the most. Property taxes on the cumulative amount of property a person or company owns is huge. It provides a punishment for buying up large amounts of property.

"Fake it till you make it" doesn't mean pretend to be happy until you are happy. I committed to a relationship I wasn't happy in, a career I wasn't happy in, and hobbies I wasn't happy doing, all because I wanted the approval of others. A divorce, career change, and hobby swap made me much happier.
