Animal Well is a game filled with secrets, puzzles, and hidden items that can enhance your experience. This guide goes into detail on how to find the Stopwatch and how to use it in Animal Well. Where to find the Stopwatch in Animal Well Players can obtain the Stopwatch by interacting with the Squirrel in Animal Well. While the Squirrel can be found fairly early in a playthrough, it’s not until after defeating the Manticore boss that players can actually claim the Stopwatch from it. The Manticore is the final boss of the game. You can find the Squirrel with the Stopwatch in the room with the giant clock after completing the Manticore boss fight. The giant clock room is easily found by progressing through the room to the right of the Manticore boss arena. The Stopwatch is not in plain sight, but off to the left you will notice vines hanging down. Go through this room to find the squirrel and the Stopwatch. The image below shows exactly where to go.

Like The Whisper Exotic Quest, there’s more going on in Zero Hour than meets the eye. Let me show you everything you need to know in our Destiny 2 Outbreak Refined quest guide: How to find and use all switches correctly. All correct orders and locations for switches in Destiny 2 Zero Hour Once you’ve beaten the final encounter of Zero Hour for the first time, you’re given the Outbreak Refined quest. The first part of this questline that’s likely to cause problems is Step 2, which tasks you with toggling several switches.  You can only find these switches in the Zero Hour Exotic Quest and you must play on Legend difficulty. More cryptic switches will likely reveal themselves in the upcoming weeks; we’ll update this guide if necessary. Let’s start with the first Exotic task: Outbreak Refined I As previously mentioned, you must play on Legend difficulty to complete this task, which slashes your time limit to 20 minute...

At the beginning of your Starfield journey, you get to choose three Traits from an array of options. These Traits offer unique gameplay avenues and roleplay options. But can you change your Traits later on in Starfield? Can you remove or add Traits? While you used to have to make sure you chose the best Traits because you were stuck with them, that isn’t the case anymore. In a recent update for Starfield that introduced detailed city maps and new gameplay options, Bethesda also implemented the ability to change your Traits by entering the Unity. Screenshot: PC Invasion Initially, you were only able to remove certain Traits in Starfield, such as Kid Stuff, Introvert/Extrovert, and Raised Enlightened/Universal. Each Trait has specific removal methods. For example, Kid Stuff allows you to visit your parents, but you have to give them 2% of your Credits weekly. If you chat with your parents, there’s an option to remove the Trait by telling them you can’t affo...

Do you need an urgent change of strategy and your units won’t fit the bill? Well, time to retreat and reorganize. Here is how to clear your CP cap to summon new units in Men of War 2. Men of War 2: What is CP? If you are an RTS veteran, then you probably think that you will need to create some sort of barracks to create your units or even build living facilities of some kind to increase your population limit. And you would be wrong! No worries, I was too. You see, at the start of any skirmish or campaign mission, you will be assigned a specific CP – also known as command points, which will determine your soldier cap. That is, how many groups of units you have on the field. Screenshot: PC Invasion You can choose to summon all types of units from tanks, trucks, militia, riflemen, and quite a lot more – and yes, it is a lot indeed. However, getting overly excited with a specific unit can be counterproductive since each encounter in Men of War 2 will require s...

Bethesda is being a good studio with Starfield and is adding quality-of-life changes to the game that a lot of people have been asking for. The audience has been listened to, and now, it is possible to access your ship cargo from anywhere in Starfield. How to access ship cargo from anywhere In the settings of Starfield you should head to the Gameplay Options. Scroll down until you find the setting for Cargo Access Distance. Here, you can select between: Inside Ship—This will only allow you to access your ship cargo when you’re physically inside your Starfield ship. Normal – You must be within 200m of your ship to access the cargo hold. Limited Locations – To access your ship storage you must be in a settlement or outpost. Anywhere – You can be wherever you like in Starfield and still get your hands on your ship cargo.

Third in a five-part series. Read part 1 here and part 2 here. Societal rot is a choice. Does it make sense for cities and states to decide which illegal aliens can stay in the country? No. Should cities and states be allowed to flout federal immigration law, or any other federal law they don’t agree with? No.  Are cities and states that have sanctuary policies for illegal aliens harboring and enabling lawlessness? Yes. Would Kate Steinle and Laken Riley be alive today if sanctuary city policies didn’t exist? Yes. Opponents of illegal immigration demonstrate in front of the White House on Dec. 3, 2017. The rally was held in response to the acquittal that week of a Mexican illegal alien in the 2015 shooting death of Kate Steinle in San Francisco. (Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) Do we have hundreds of thousands of crime victims across America because we don’t fully enforce federal immigration law? Yes. It seems as though President Joe Biden is less upset about the wanton killing of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student, reportedly by an illegal alien, than he is about the suspect being referred to correctly as illegal. (Photo: RIley’s Facebook account) It’s time to make common sense common again. Societal rot is a choice.

Some people are claiming that potatoes – given enough time – can release noxious solanine gas, posing health risks to anyone in close proximity. But is this actually the case?In a widely-shared recent post, one X (Twitter) user posted an image of their sister's bedroom, explaining that the 8-year-old had taken to storing potatoes behind her bed.                      IFLScience is not responsible for content shared from external sites.While adorable, people were quick to suggest this could be more dangerous than it looks.                      IFLScience is not responsible for content shared from external sites.Though we wouldn't go as far as saying they are "deadly asf" (store them properly and you don't have anything to fear from mash), as potatoes go bad they can become toxic."Potatoes are such a common feature of the Western diet that most people are surprised to learn that they are the produce of a poisonous plant," one team wrote in the British Medical Journal. "In fact, potato stems and leaves contain a series of alkaloidal glycosides, termed solanines, which are highly toxic."The main hazard comes from eating potatoes that have turned green."Greening and sprouting occur when potato tubers are exposed to light or are stored in adverse conditions, and these processes are associated with the production of the alkaloids," the team continued. "Initially this occurs at the sites of increased metabolic activity, such as the 'eyes'; but eventually solanines can be detected in the flesh of the tuber, and the normal, high concentration-gradient between the peel and the flesh is lost."In one incident described by the team, 78 schoolchildren in London, England, causing symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, fever, blood in the stool, and worse. "Depression of the central nervous system occurred in the more serious cases, and several patients were comatose with episodes of convulsive twitching. These boys also showed signs of peripheral circulatory collapse, even when dehydration was only slight."In some cases, deaths have occurred, though there may have been other contributing factors including undernourishment and inadequate treatment.Poisoning from potatoes is rare, and usually results from eating them. However, there are dubious reports that people have died from breathing in gas accumulated over time in poorly ventilated areas – although some have suggested this could have been due to other causes, such as asphyxiation due to pooled carbon dioxide. There are reasons to be skeptical of such stories, particularly as cases in the medical literature all refer to ingestion. Plus, the melting point of solanine (while reported slightly differently by the teams who have studied it) is well above 200°C (392°F), making the release of it in gas form from potatoes unlikely in dangerous quantities. "It is not only important to keep potatoes out of the light for long term storage, but those stored under the counter, in a basement or root cellar that have started to grow eyes and become mushy and rotten can be dangerous," Michigan State University writes. The article goes on to suggest that "Rotting potatoes give off a noxious solanine gas that can make a person unconscious if they’ve inhaled enough. There have even been cases of people dying in their root cellars due to unbeknownst rotting potatoes."The confusion may potentially arise from the abbreviation of glycoalkaloids to "Gas" in scientific literature. It is still sensible, however, to store potatoes in a darkened room to prevent them from going bad, which could lead to greening and health problems should you ingest them. Also, from a parent's point of view, potatoes do not belong in your bedroom.All “explainer” articles are confirmed by fact checkers to be correct at time of publishing.

Billfish – saltwater predators armed with prominent pointy bills – are typically considered to be the fastest swimmers in the oceans. The speediest species of all are thought to be the sailfish (Istiophorus). They do have stiff competition though; the bluefin tuna is a serious threat to their throne.Sailfish are beautifully adapted for swimming at breakneck speeds to hunt prey. Growing up to 3 meters (10 feet) from tail to bill, they are a member of the marlin (Istiophoridae) family that features an impressively large dorsal fin that resembles the sail of a boat. Two species of sailfish make up the Istiophorus genus: Atlantic sailfish (I. albicans) and Indo-Pacific sailfish (I. platypterus). You can probably guess where those two live. While sailfish are likely to be some of the fastest-swimming marine animals, recent research has suggested they might not be as nippy as once thought. In the 1940s, scientists estimated that sailfish could achieve speeds of up to 30 meters a second – that’s a rocketing 108 kilometers per hour (67 miles per hour). However, a study in 2015 suggested this speed is likely to be overblown. They estimated that sailfish do not exceed swimming speeds of 10 meters a second, or 36 kilometers per hour (22 miles per hour).It’s highly unlikely that sailfish can maintain this speed for a prolonged period. These top speeds are likely achieved in short but intense bursts of movement while hunting prey. Most of the time, large predatory fish like this tend to cruise at a speed comparable to the average human stroll.An illustration of the Indo-Pacific sailfish (Istiophoridae platypterus).Image credit: Naturalis Biodiversity Center via Wikimedia Commons (public domain)A 2015 project by the Central American Billfish Association recorded a tracked sailfish (I. platypterus) accelerating at a G-force of 1.79 G, according to the Large Pelagics Research Center at the University of Massachusetts. If the fish maintained that speed for just a couple of seconds, they said it would be the equivalent of 125.5 kilometers per hour (78 miles per hour).Bluefin tuna might trump this, though. The Large Pelagics Research Center carried out a similar study on bluefin tuna and found they can accelerate at 3.27 G, which is 1.8 times the sailfish record. Once again, however, these are just bursts of speed and it’s unclear how long the fish maintain this activity (they might not even have maintained this acceleration for 2 seconds, as the researchers assumed). On land, speed records are a bit clearer. The undisputed champion of running on land in the cheetah, the sleek big cat of Africa adorned in solid black spots.The cheetah’s top speed is often cited as 112 kilometers per hour (70 miles per hour), although that speed was recorded decades ago and is likely to be inaccurate. In 2012, a cheetah called Sarah was recorded at Cincinnati Zoo running at a top speed of 98 kilometers per hour (61 miles per hour), earning herself the world record.
