It delights me every time I'm reminded how geologically and ecologically similar southern China and the southeastern United States are. We are Alligator Buddies.
the Chinese Alligator has been extirpated from much of its historical range, which included a lot of the southeast Asian peninsula, which has left the US and China as the only two countries in the world with wild Alligators.
Googled something about quick hydration and it suggested big jug of water, couple tbsp pickle juice, dash of lime juice.
Its surprisingly tasty????

In a class I taught at Berkeley, I did an experiment where I wrote a simple little program that would let people type either “f” or “d” and would predict which key they were going to push next. It’s actually very easy to write a program that will make the right prediction about 70% of the time. Most people don’t really know how to type randomly. They’ll have too many alternations and so on. There will be all sorts of patterns, so you just have to build some sort of probabilistic model. Even a very crude one will do well. I couldn’t even beat my own program, knowing exactly how it worked. I challenged people to try this and the program was getting between 70% and 80% prediction rates. Then, we found one student that the program predicted exactly 50% of the time. We asked him what his secret was and he responded that he “just used his free will.”

Gotta say, watching the Mercanaud brothers get fucking wrecked is pretty cathartic after the immediate previous scene.
