I was laid off a couple years ago and was spending my time watching shark week (don't judge me) and saw where they had tagged some great whites. They had one that fled some killer whales, it dove super super deep and stayed that low for some ridiculous distance, i think from cali to Hawaii or something like that.
By putting black-and-white coats on horses, a new study shows that the pattern discourages biting flies from landing.

@FireFighterZero This might be interesting for you and your horses. Shouldn't cost much more to get a striped coat than a solid one, and your horses might be happier in the summer.
Thanks for sharing that....excellent article. I remember when these runners were first found and discussed, what a shock it was to modern runners. This article makes sense to me....the Tarahumara are like us...a very few are dedicated, disciplined and able to perform magnificent feats...the community around them is important to support that effort (our Olympic athletes for example). And the focus of the extraordinary performer has to be exemplary. I was glad to see them point out the value of the spiritual/inner aspect that helps drive them.
And the link to the study was interesting and accessible too: " Like all ultrarunners, Tarahumara runners are stiff and sore for several days after a race, sometimes limp, and have trouble sitting down and getting up."
Human beings are capable of some dark and demented things, but would people purposefully swerve onto the shoulder of the road—outside their driving path—just to run over a small animal? The idea is appalling to most of us. Mind you, we’re not talking about large creatures that could damage a...
I saw someone swerve to hit a turtle once. I passed the turtle on the shoulder, and making a quick debate whether or not to stop and help it while watching in the rearview mirror, the fuckhole behind me swerved to hit it...
edit:
Forgot. While I didn't see it happen, I suspect someone swerved to hit a duck. There was a pair nesting by a deep puddle just off the shoulder of the road. I think a truck had stopped there or something, and left deep ruts. Not the best place for a nest, but the shoulder there was 10'+, so as long as the birds stayed off the road, and humans stayed between the lines, the site should have worked. I saw them there for at least a week, maybe two, then one day I saw the drake dead on the edge of pavement; pretty much right at the grassline, and right at the nest site. That tells me he wasn't hit and rolled there. Someone crossed the shoulder to hit the bird :^S
There are myriad arguments for and against eating roadkill. Can they all be true at the same time?

Anyone here into the fine art of RK harvesting? I'd like to but having never field dressed nor butchered anything, that is a stumbling block. I know, I should just step up and do it.

Collecting roadkill is a pretty good idea. I doubt I'd do it. I don't eat much meat as-is. If I did, I'd concentrate on everything outside the body cavity just for extra insurance against contamination. I fully support others in doing it though.
Using a quantum computer to simulate time travel, researchers have demonstrated that, in the quantum realm, there is no 'butterfly effect.' In the research, information--qubits, or quantum bits--'time travel' into the simulated past.
A slew of factors—its acidity, its lack of water and the presence of hydrogen peroxide—work in perfect harmony, allowing the sticky treat to last forever.
