Breeding unhealthy dogs could be called dysgenics. It's like breeding better slaves instead of better humans.

Wolves are good, evolution worked. Pet dogs are extra lives producing added value to themselves and their owners.

Without dog breeding, dogs would be still be wolves.

The only place with eugenics in human history is agriculture. There were many genocides done using eugenics as an excuse with no clue of genetics, and you blame eugenics instead of the murderers.

We have gene editing now, so it's only a matter of cost when parents start customising their babies, which is a good thing because human variability will increase, making us as a species more resistant to unknown threats.

I ate lots of deep fried mild beige stinky tofu in Taiwan. Once I had a meal with a bit of old grey stinky tofu - the smell of summer garbage was disturbing. Try the slightly aged mild beige stuff first.

While we're at it, try a translucent thousand year egg too, preferably as part of a dessert. Not bad, just weird.

I saw Dark City first, liked it a lot, and didn't like Matrix.

When I've decided something I bought a few months ago is perfect even after several washes, I try to buy another one, but that product is sold out and will never be seen again.

Except https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_activation

Neutron activation is the only common way that a stable material can be induced into becoming intrinsically radioactive.

A phone can notice when it’s in the hands of a security expert and start acting normal. Before dieselgate, Volkswagen cars had been emissions tested for years without finding anything suspicious. Turned out VW used the car’s sensors to detect when it was being tested.
