Dogs use scent more then humans. However they still use sight and sound much morfe then they use scent.

Dogs use body language and vocalization to communicate with each other. Watch two dogs interact they look at each other and will growl, and bristle or tail wag and play bow to indicate what they want.

They look at faces on humans because that’s a major component of how we communicate.

Smell is not how they communicate. It’s just how they know where other animals have been.

There are dozens of us.

Sent is just an id for dogs. They use body language with humans and other dogs. They also pay attention to threw same parts of human faces that we do. They don’t do this with other dog faces.

My dogs know the difference between going out pants and around the house pants. We also have to say preambulate when talking about walks unless we want to excite the dogs.

There is a part of their brain that only activates when humans are around.

Correct or more accurately it is the Hawking radiation.

It’s a side effect of the “no algorithm” philosophy. Without anything to suggest what you might like generating high amounts of new content let’s you dominate the feed. News is easy to generate on a daily basis.

The thoughtful channel that puts out a video once every two weeks gets on the feed once every two weeks. Then low effort garbage like man carrying things gets on the feed every day.

They need to at least let users block channels from their feed.

Bullet Ant bite. People have killed themself to make it stop. It locks your pain receptors to the on position and doesn’t allow them to turn off.

Custom storytellers. I also like Vanilla Outposts Expanded. Send pawns to form defensive outposts that reduce raid sizes.

I’ve played a lot of rimworld and I think the main problem with it is the developers solution to difficulty after the early game is just more and bigger raids.

Everybody starts building kill boxes to deal with raids being the only challenge after midgame. Developers response is new types of raids that bypass kill boxes (drop, breacher).

Give us some different threats or ways to mitigate raids like paying off raiders or building outposts.

For people wondering like me. He raised the money to buy her a new house. It was to piss off her religious neighbors that the athiest got a new house when they didn’t.

Martyrs tend to be symbols to a cause. Trump and maga don’t have much ideology it’s more a cult of personality. Those tend to go away when the central figure dies.

Honestly the best are ones that you enjoy. People pickup on the honest enjoyment of the activity and respond well to it.

That and base line social skills are all that are needed to make friends.

As a kid growing up in Florida the sand that turns you into sand freaked me out.

Duck but gator tail is a close second.

Bouncing between Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions and The Screaming Staircase.

Algorithms is interesting but the actual algorithms aren’t terribly useful so far.

The Screaming Staircase has a very neat world but not very interesting characters. I’m hoping it improves.

Barbarians at the Gate is a good book and the movie is also worth a watch.

When the two executives are talking and then each gets on their private plane, then continue the talk via phone in air, and then land at the same location it sets up the situation so well.

Neutral flavor. So something like canola. Things with a strong flavor can impact the taste of the dish.

Society can do nothing but evolve. The world has changed and society has changed with the aspects best able to continue in the modern world being those thar continued.

Is society better off or not is a good question.

Blah got it backwards. Back to coffee for me.
