What You Can Learn from the American Sherlock
Burning a body with lime refers to a method historically used to dispose of human remains, particularly to accelerate decomposition and reduce the body to skeletal remains. Lime, specifically quicklime (calcium oxide) or slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), was sometimes used in combination with burial or other methods to aid in decomposition and prevent the spread of disease.
When lime is applied to a body, it can serve several purposes:
Decomposition Acceleration: Lime is highly alkaline, and its application can raise the pH of the environment. This can speed up the decomposition process by creating conditions that favor the activity of bacteria and other microorganisms that break down organic matter.
Odor Reduction: The strong alkaline properties of lime can help neutralize odors associated with decomposition, making the process less unpleasant.
Pathogen Control: The high pH of lime can inhibit the growth of pathogens and reduce the risk of disease transmission from the decomposing body.
Drying: Lime's ability to absorb moisture can help dry out the body, which can further accelerate decomposition.

If You Smell Fish at Home and that's Fishy - Suspect an Electrical Fire!
For a change, good stuff from Quora (Ian O'Grady) :
Here’s some facts that could save your life.
If your house ever smells like fish for no reason, 9 times out of 10 its usually a electrical fire.
If you’re in a foreign country and you need to call for help, but don’t know the emergency number, dial 112 and it will automatically connect you to the nearest help line.
If a tornado looks like its not moving, it means its moving towards you.
If you wake up and smell gas, don’t turn on a light switch, the spark might cause an explosion.
Lying flat on your back is the best way to survive a falling elevator.
If your hair ever stands up on its ends, find cover, because your about to be struck by lightning.
If you ever fall off the edge of a platform on to the tracks, don’t try and crawl back up, there’s a crawl space built underneath in case this happens.
If a deer runs onto the road in front of you while your driving, its better to hit the deer then swerve into a ditch. If a Moose runs onto the road its better to swerve into a ditch, Moose's are tanks.
Even if you have no service you can still dial 911, in an emergency your phone will connect to the nearest tower.
If you ever get kidnapped and put in the boot, disconnect the brake lights and there's a chance the driver might get pulled over, given you a chance to call for help.

So You Want to Ditch Evernote. Who Can Blame You?
Fair warning : haven't tried this out myself. I just hear people complaining that they're locked into Evernote and they want to stop paying for it, but don't know what to do.
Can you tell me how to pull my data out of Evernote?
1 Export Notes
from Evernote:
-
Open
Evernote on your computer or access the web version (www.evernote.com).
-
Select
the notes you want to export. You can hold down the "Ctrl" key
(or "Cmd" key on Mac) and click on individual notes to select
multiple ones.
-
Right-click
on the selected notes and choose "Export Notes..." (on Windows)
or "Export..." (on Mac).
2 Choose Export Format:
-
Evernote
allows you to export your notes in two formats: "Evernote XML Format
(.enex)" or "HTML" format.
-
The
".enex" format is specific to Evernote and will allow you to
import your notes back into Evernote in the future if needed.
-
The
"HTML" format is more generic and can be easily opened in web
browsers or imported into other note-taking applications.
3 Save the Exported File:
-
Choose
a location on your computer where you want to save the exported file.
-
Give
the file a meaningful name that reflects the content or purpose of the
exported notes.
4 Repeat for Other
Notebooks:
-
If you
have multiple notebooks in Evernote, you will need to repeat the export
process for each notebook you want to back up.
5 Check the
Exported Data:
-
Once
the export is complete, you can open the exported ".enex" file
using Evernote (if you chose that format) or use a web browser to view the
exported HTML files. Make sure the data is intact and organized as
expected.
6 Alternative
Export Options:
-
If you
are comfortable with coding and programming, you can explore Evernote's
Developer API (Application Programming Interface) to export your data
programmatically. However, this option requires some technical knowledge.
7 Explore
Third-Party Tools:
-
Some
third-party tools might offer features to help you export your Evernote
data. You can search for such tools online, but be cautious and ensure
that they are reputable and safe to use.
Can you give me a python script to do that?
