Yes. I remember seeing them advertised on a trip to Japan and not fully understanding how they even worked. It really seemed like the future. It was a few years before they were available here and prices came down enough to use it. My first trip was navigating home from Fry's

I have always identified with Lawrence "Crash" Davis in Bull Durham.

Chickens have a dominance hierarchy too. And so do rats under some conditions. The dominance literature that I know of does not make it sound great. Dominant makes are like the loud drunk guy at a party who wants fight - people just generally avoid him. So they're socially isolated bullies. Robert and Caroline Blanchard from University of Hawaii is good for this work, and Robert Sapolsky for work on stress hormones.

Petersdorf and Higham are a great summary of the variety in the primate world. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781118584538.ieba0308

It's not true for gorillas or chimps either - and those groups don't share a social structure. I have a feeling that you are not well informed on this topic.

Sheets weekly. Towels twice a week, but I shower twice a day.

Eyes aspirin suspiciously...pain reduction, anti-inflammatory, blood thinner, fever reduction. All-in-one package?

I was entranced by the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brien. Sailing ships, adventure, and a little romance.
