What can methane gas be used for?

I keep getting ads saying things like "landfills produce more methane pollutants than 56000 cars" or "tell Congress to fix this one methane leak." I also hear people bring up farming cows as a counter-arguement for any climate action (but not as a "let's fix this" type arguement sadly). So my thinking is why aren't people trying to harvest methane and use it for something? Is it inefficient? Are they stupid?

YSK you can cancel subscriptions by removing them from your credit card/payment processor, or call the bank and ask someone to remove them.

Why you should know: the price hike of Xbox GamePass caused their unsubscribe page to crash. This could lead to someone putting it off and immediately forgetting, then getting charged for the next pass against their wishes. Cutting payment at the source will piss off Xbox and they'll auto kick you off anyway

If a promo requires a google play download, would it also be valid if I rerouted it to Aurora?

Say a friend of mine has one of those dumb mobile game sponsorships, and if he gets 10 people to download the game through the play store, he gets paid. But instead it opens my browser where I tell it to open with Aurora store and download from there. Would that still count as a download with that code or not? Does that make sense?

Or is that still tracking no matter which store it is and where you download is moot?

YSK a slice of bologna can make the paint on a car peel off due to its high level of salt and lactic acids

Why you should know: a number of reasons. My boss used to throw bologna slices at moving vehicles either as a prank or out of road rage. What made me think you should know is an incident that happened to a friend the other day where they saw an ex's car following them. That could be a subtle way to mark dangerous cars to alert others of stalkers or other such dangerous people.
