I live in Northern Illinois and they're really trying to change the name of the fish to "Silverfin" in an attempt to hopefully attract eaters. People hear "carp" and they think "trash fish" but I had a taco made with one and it was just as good as any other fish taco I've had. It's boney so things like tacos, burgers, anything ground really. And renaming a fish to make it more commercial has worked before: Orange Roughy was renamed from "Pacific smilehead" and Chilean Sea Bass, which sells for freaking $30/lb, was the Patagonian toothfish. In fact it worked *so* well for the Chilean Sea Bass that poaching has nearly collapsed fisheries several times. Which if it happens to the Silverfin...I'd be fine with that.

Then as it activates it would be anchored to the riverbed on shock mounts and move itself up and down a shaft from max depth to almost surface. Also as it activates, pnumatic solenoids extend the bin to catch the flailing carp. Another idea would be to drop small vibrating and eccentric objects from drones and account for the speed of the river to try and catch the fish after they jump into a downriver bin.

"Deadliest artificially made water in the word"? Ahem...Lake Karachay anyone? The lake in Russia so polluted with nuclear waste that even standing NEAR it for more than thirty seconds can give you a lethal dose of radiation? On that note, I'd love to see you do an episode on that. It seems like the kind of topic perfect for this channel.

[@phoenixfritzinger9185]

I mean it doesn’t really exist as a lake anymore, it kinda got dried out and whatever was left got covered by a bunch of concrete blocks

If we’re talking about deadly bodies of water, let me tell you about the dread I feel when I think of the Bolton Strid. While the water itself doesn’t have any properties such as being electrified or radioactive, it is deadly. Do not let the photos of it fall you, it is not an idyllic stream. In reality, it is a river forced onto its side that is believed to not have had a single person survive falling in. If you fall in then that’s it for you. The Bolton Strid will be your grave as the currents drag you down into the hidden caverns below, obliterating you against the rocks along the way. Learning about it has given me a very healthy respect for bodies of water and probably a new phobia.

Reasons to keep your cat inside: -Longer lifespan for your cat (outdoor cats average 2-5yrs, indoor cats can live to be over 15) -They cause insurmountable damage to ecosystems (domestic cats kill more birds than wind turbines) -They can easily contract toxoplasmosis, the effects of which are grossly under-researched in humans; and it can also cause livetsock animals to miscarry (if your farm has a rodent problem, setting up nesting spaces for owls will help out a hell of a lot more) If your cat screams and wails and destroys things if you don't let her outside, play with her! harness train her to take her on walks! give her supervised outdoor time! if you can't entertain an animal that sleeps for roughly 18 hours a day, maybe don't have one.

Fun fact: This is similar to how electrofishing works! You introduce a charge from an anode pole and a cathode tail that slightly irritates the fish and makes them swim, but the amount of electricity also makes their muscles seize up in a way that makes it super hard for them to swim away from the anode pole once they're close.

I think you should let your cats go outside but you'd probably have to keep an eye on them so they don't die or get lost. If you live in a city and are afraid of a car hitting them brutally or that a dog might attack them then you can go outside and walk with them but you'd have to buy the special leash for cats (ya know the one that isn't around their neck cause that's stressful for em). And if you live in a village/countryside then you can let em roam around freely for a few hours and let em in the house if you're afraid of other cats attacking them.
