I just learned that there’s a man who shops at trader joes in Seattle and buys things in bulk and then transports them up to Vancouver to his own store called “pirate joes” because there are no trader joes in Canada. He’s gotten banned at some trader joes because of this and sometimes has to put on disguises to shop and he even hires people to go shopping for him and it’s like a secret mission. He even has a van that says “grocers without borders” and trader joes has sued him and lost. My favorite part of this is that this whole situation could be easily fixed by trader joes opening a store in Vancouver and hiring him
My name would be Mylah. With all apologies to anyone named Mylah, I am now very happy to be named not Mylah.

The car-tire-size opah is striking enough thanks to its rotund, silver
body. But now, researchers have discovered something surprising about
this deep-sea dweller: It’s got warm blood.
That makes the opah (Lampris guttatus) the first warm-blooded fish every discovered. Most fish are exotherms, meaning they require heat from the environment
to stay toasty. The opah, as an endotherm, keeps its own temperature
elevated even as it dives to chilly depths of 1,300 feet (396 meters) in
temperate and tropical oceans around the world.
“Increased temperature speeds up physiological processes within the
body,” study leader Nicholas Wegner, a biologist at the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries’ Southwest Fisheries
Science Center in La Jolla, California, told Live Science. “As a result,
the muscles can contract faster, the temporal resolution of the eye is
increased, and neurological transmissions are sped up. This results in
faster swimming speeds, better vision and faster response times.”…
