A convenience store owner in Jacksonville, Florida has a rather uniquely Floridian problem: people won’t stop heating up pee in his store’s microwave. The microwave, which is generally reserved for heating up gas station food, is instead being frequently used to heat urine because the convenience store happens to be around the corner from a drug testing facility. People come into the store to warm up the “clean” pee they got from friends, or whomever, in order to make it seem like the pee is theirs, and fresh, thus allowing them to pass their drug tests. This happens so frequently, in fact, that the store’s owner, Parul Patel, had to put up a sign on the microwave in order to prevent it.(https://bit.ly/3aPZeQc)

Fish are catching on to the tricks of anglers and getting harder to catch. A New Zealand experiment found trout that are constantly exposed to fishermen develop strategies for staying out of sight and avoiding the bait. The same study found that fish caught once remember to avoid the same ruse and usually stay away from being caught again for at least a month. Researchers say fish in remote areas that get swamped by anglers on a yearly basis are the most likely to develop learning skills. They also say catch and release policies add to the fish’s ability to avoid capture.

Typically road rage results in one driver’s car dinging the other driver’s car. At the next level you have a driver or drivers getting out of their cars and going at it. At the Idaho level of road rage you have two guys fighting, taking it down to the ground, head-locking, then wrapping it up with a handshake before each gets back into their car and drives off. https://youtu.be/6aV5BqA1GT8

A group of thieves behind the burglaries of nearly thirty homes in Florida couldn’t have been easier to find: They carried out the heists while wearing ankle devices that pinpoint their locations. The burglars “committed these crimes while already on pretrial release for previous crimes and while wearing court-ordered GPS ankle monitors,” said Hollywood police spokesman Officer Christian Lata. More than $150,000 in cash, an AK-47, a Smith & Wesson handgun, cellphones, iPads, jewelry, designer handbags, ammunition, blank checks, fraudulent debit and credit cards, and a stolen vehicle were among the items seized by authorities. The three men, who were arrested Friday, face charges of burglary, grand theft and racketeering. (https://bit.ly/3gn8Jaz)
