Yes, they have very sensitive noses but training is the issue. Tons of K9 units are not any more accurate than a coin flip. What dogs smell is a lot different than what they "signal" to. They learn to read what the officers want them to do.

When I worked for the California Department of Fish and Game (Now called Fish and Wildlife) I worked on the 12th floor. On the 13th floor was where all of the Game Wardens were housed. I was leaving work early when I stepped on the elevator. There was a warden with his German Shepard. I had a small stash of weed in my backpack and was sweating it but the dog didn't flinch. I could have been fired so I left the weed at home after that scare.

Innocent people will admit to a crime they never commited 43% of a time.
MorgothBauglir 4 years ago
I've heard this tip from someone. Whenever arrested, the first thing you do is ask for a lawyer. Don't answer their questions, don't submit to any of their interrogations. ASK FOR AN ATTORNEY. Those cops can have an entire investigation thrown out if they refuse. Asking for a lawyer is the most important thing to do.
Bobby 4 years ago
Here's another tip for people in the US, your miranda rights are required to be read at an interrogation, not an arrest. Keep your mouth shut if arrested, anything you say while being arrested can be used whether the miranda rights were read or not. Most of the time the judge will side with the police and say that an arrest does not constitute an interrogation therefore reading of the rights is not required

Keerthi Vardhan 4 years ago
If it's India, even after you confess, it's just around an odd 15 to 20 years to get a proper and final trial. Innocents are blackmailed with court cases because everyone knows that they do t have that kind of life span to survive and win a court case even if one is 100% true or confident. That's the nature of the system here. It's partially due to lack of judges die to political muck. It's used to arm twist good judges by politicians since the political ground has more valid cases than a common citizen. These cases drag on for atleast 15 or more years. We can't find a biased system and pray for a fair trial.

*Some. Whales, dolphins, and many birds are believed to have poor or no sense of smell. There are probably others. There are also some things you can smell better than some animals. You'd smell banana better than a dog would, for example. You also just interpret smells differently. While a rotting kangaroo corpse on the side of the road ripening in the Australian sun might smell fowl or even vomit inducing to you, it's something dogs (particularly larger breeds) just can't resist. They love the smell and they'll roll in it, cover themselves in it. So, in many ways it's less to do with better and worse and more to do with purpose and attunement. The stereoscopic smell that is described in dogs is also present in humans, but is generally poor in humans (difficult to sense direction of a smell but not impossible) while a blind person might develop a better spatial picture from scents than a sighted person. I imagine that given the right incentive, a person might imaginably surpass a dog in spatial olfaction. Sensitivity comes down to what is attuned. I bet if you put in as much time indulging your olfactory sense as a dog does then you'd also discover the ability to distinguish a great variety of scents, and at significantly fine degrees. It's part of what professional trackers train in themselves. A dog might always detect some things more reliably than you, and vice versa. Stating that animals have better scent detection than humans is a bit like saying humans have better colour detection than humans, because some humans don't differentiate green from blue due to cultural limitations. It's not so much that they can't, but rather that they don't. So, yes, dogs, for example, have more olfactory innervation, but they are also attuned to certain smells. And while olfactory sense is not as innervated, you are necessarily going to be more attuned to certain smells than a dog is. e.g. Dogs don't "just" smell drugs. They are trained to. But, dogs are a special case and not all animals possess as developed a sense of smell as dogs do. It's also imaginable that while a certain animal might have very sensitive detection of certain smells, it might not be able to distinguish smells that don't mean much to it. So, some might have powerful detection but limited range.

Joy Milne discovered she can literally smell Parkinson's disease - it started with her husband who she said used to have a very musky male scent she loved, but one day she noticed it had a new much stronger yeasty smell. Over the years the smell got stronger and his musky scent faded, but at the same time she started to notice odd changes in his behaviour. Eventually he got the diagnosis, and after trying to manage alone they eventually went to a support group. As soon as she walked in she realised that same yeasty smell was coming from all the other people in the room with Parkinson's. She first noticed the smell on her husband over a decade before his symptoms even got to the stage of seeking medical advice. Incredible!! And hopefully this discovery is going to lead to even earlier detection methods! :D - https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/23/820274501/her-incredible-sense-of-smell-is-helping-scientists-find-new-ways-to-diagnose-di?t=1636693634482

Because you're under very real physical pressure which means you have to take action, believable action, to get out of the situation clearly, quickly and believably. It's a very primal urge which we can't control, which forces you do take action, and doesn't give you time to delay or worry, because you just HAVE too go. If you have time, and don't "need to go", there is a tendency to over think, catastrophise, ramble on and talk yourself into a corner, give too many details etc, you're just in a different mental and physical state, your brain is working to convincingly get your body out of there in the quickest and safest way.

Actually I read on bp that they would have to fall li,e 4000 km bc they can’t die from a fall with velocity or something?
Daniel (ShadowDrakken) 4 years ago
It has nothing to do with their feet. It has to do with their mass and their terminal velocity. The smaller an animal is, the less likely they are to be hurt by falls.
Quinn Alexander 4 years ago
It's also because, due to it's size, it has a smaller mass - volume ratio, which is why if a whale fell that same distance it'd liquify on impact (not really but close)

I live in the south United States and they are so big I almost feel bad when I kill them. But I’m terrified of them! I had one fly at me while I was spraying it( with a natural spray I made myself out of vinegar and borax). It jumped off the wall turned a d started flying at my face! I ran out of my house and down the street! I didn’t want to go back in! I had dropped my phone in all the commotion! It’s so funny to me now but at the time it was the scariest situation of my life !

The letter V is never silent.
ZAPanda 4 years ago
Hmm. This is correct. But as an interesting snippet, not everyone pronounces it as V. In latin, it was a U or W. Hence W looks like two v's. In most continental germanic languages it is an F. And in one of our local languages, Venda, they have a vh letter combination which is approximately a W. (technically a bilabial voiced fricative, but sounds like a w).

116 degrees Fahrenheit was enough to kill about 75% of the branches of the neighbor perennial. Then, on Jun 29, 2021, a heatwave hit Vancouver, WA (across the Columbia River from Portland, OR). It lasted around four days, and the perennials' native trees weren't prepared for that kind of heat. overheated...fe516e.jpg

That is not correct. The current official highest registered air temperature on Earth is 56.7 °C (134.1 °F), recorded on 10 July 1913 at Furnace Creek Ranch, in Death Valley in the United States.[2] For ninety years, a former record that was measured in Libya had been in place, until it was decertified in 2012 based on evidence that it was an erroneous reading. This finding has since raised questions about the legitimacy of the 1913 record measured in Death Valley, with several meteorological experts asserting that there were similar irregularities. The WMO has stood by the record as official pending any future investigative results. If the current record were to be decertified then the holder would be a tie at 54.0 °C (129.2 °F), recorded both at Furnace Creek, and in Kuwait.

Although I need to fact check it, I remembering learning something about one of the reasons why we tend to dislike photographs of our face a bit more than just looking at it in the mirror. There's much more to it than this as I recall, but this aspect is that we are so accustomed to seeing our face in the mirror (reversed) that seeing it the other way around is jarring to our perception of our face. Ie to me my side part i sometimes use looks different in my minds eye to what I see in a photograph 🤷♀️ (selfie style front facing cameras are a newer invention, maybe we will get more accustomed to seeing our non-reversed face because of this? Little comfort given the skewing effect of the filters than come with it)

No you misunderstand. Maybe because of that stupid picture. What's meant is when two people face each other. They don't keep their head straight when kissing. They rotate (bend) it a little. Most of them to the right, meaning clockwise from their perspective.
