Fielding questions re: this article w/bizarre factual errors. First, there's no "Montecito County" in CA. Second, 2 fires are actually in *Monterey,* & 3rd in *Mendocino*. Third, 60k ac have *not* burned in either fictional Montecito nor real Mendocino.🤨

latimes.com

Three Montecito County fires near Big Sur have burned nearly 60,000 acres

In Mendocino County, the total area burned by three fires grew to nearly 60,000 acres on Saturday.

Clarivate has the name of a second-tier pharmaceutical company, so I might suggest that you ask your doctor on this one.

I wonder if it’s not just that buffalo milk is richer, but also that dairy cows have been intensively bred in the past century to produce in quantity more than quality. It’s great to see Büffeljoghurt going more mainstream, in DE it has typically been sold in Turkish groceries as a specialty product

In his Second Discourse, Rousseau talks about how man was born free and able to live off the bountiful food that surrounded him in nature and then he was plucked from this state and introduced to society, where he was forced to labor. IG riverreachconstruction

We also switched litter, “Dr. Ridley’s Cat Attract,” got a low entry box, 8 cm on the entry side, and plugged in a Feliway atomizer (not sure if it helped). We concluded that spending a little money and doing research made it easier to love a pet we already love!

In DACH possibly look into Bactodes Animal Geruchsentferner, sometimes “probiotisch” is substituted to make “enzymatisch” sound friendiler. This looks most like “Nature’s Miracle” which is the best product in USA. You can find instructions for how to make a peroxide cleaner too.

Ooh, for cat urine you should an enzyme cleaner that will break down the urea, followed by a peroxide based cleaner also formulated for cat urine. Bleach mixed with urine can create chloramine gas—you have't removed the urine, you're just smelling a toxic gas that is covering up the odor. Good luck!

One of the most important questions in the history of biology, posed during an 1837 discussion of agricultural breeding in Brnö by Abbé Cyrill Napp, the man who recruited Mendel: "What is inherited and how?" (Transliteration, translation, reference and source in Alt)

Hr. Prälat Cyrill Napp reaffumirt in ge-
drängter Kürze den Gang der bisherigen Debatte,
tritt der von Hrn. Direktor Liehr geäußerten An-
ficht bei, macht aufmerksam, daß man von dem
eigentlichen Verhandlungsthema über die Vererbungs-
fähigkeit ganz abgekommen; es handle sich nicht um
die Theorie des Züchtungsvorganges, sondern die
Frage fey: Was vererbt und wie?

Google translate: Prelate Cyrill Napp briefly summarizes the course of the debate thus far and concurs with the view expressed by Director Liehr, pointing out that the discussion has strayed entirely from the actual subject—heritability; the issue at hand is not the theory of the breeding process, but rather the question: What is inherited, and how?

For the Iliad, Fagles for a balance of readability and poetic nobility. I find Lattimore incomprehensible as a non-expert. I did not like Wilson for the same reason why I was irritated by Tom Holland calling Odysseus "dad," but I understand the appeal of a more relatable text.

"This was not an attempt to find a ‘patient zero,’ but to gain a greater understanding of the outbreak from the perspective of the communities where it first began.” Excellent piece by @kakape.bsky.social on new WHO study that refreshingly doesn't focus on patient zero and zoonotic origin stories.
