Japan Unveils Electric Spoons & Bowls To ‘Make Food Tastier’
Japanese inventors have created electric bowls and spoons, guaranteed to add sparks to your meal.
Using technology called “electric taste sensing,” the utensils use weak electricity to enhance and control the taste of food, adding and subtracting flavors as it sees fit.
“For example, in the case of a spoon, the tip of the spoon, the part that touches the food, is an electrode, and an electric current flows toward the food,” explained a representative from Kirin, the company behind the products.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different ...

DEBUNKING THE ‘FLYDUBAI’ CONSPIRITARDS 🤡 1 of 3
1. "How did he get a weapon onboard?"
The Fact: He didn't sneak a knife past security. The official UAE investigation report confirmed the co-pilot used the cockpit’s own crash axe. By international law, a crash axe is a mandatory piece of emergency equipment standard-stored inside the cockpit. He simply reached over and grabbed the plane's own tool to launch the attack.
2. "Why did a plumber take control and not the 2 pilots?"
The Fact: This is completely scrambling the timeline. When the bleeding captain unlocked the door, passengers rushed in to wrestle the attacker. Passenger Yaniv Hayoun (the plumber) saw the plane diving, lunged forward, and pulled back on the yoke to level the aircraft based on what ...
