I had the image in Post Body originally, so it just showed text without a thumbnail. I edited it to have the image in Post URL instead, looks like that works.

Thanks for mentioning this! I just remembered that I learned it from "Rosemary & Thyme" The Gongoozlers (TV Episode 2004). Fun mystery series that I highly recommend.

What is your favorite smell?
My favorite smells are the few that nearly transport me back in time, maybe like some form of déjà vu but I can't quite pinpoint what exactly those scents are. I'd never be able to recreate them intentionally. Two different soap scents bring me to two different familiar childhood places. Sometimes when I come back in through the back door I get a rather neutral smell but also very intense feeling like I'm suddenly at an old friend's rental house from decades ago. There's one smell that instantly brings me back to a childhood scratch n' sniff book. As a side note, I find that nostalgic textures bring back strong memories too.
When I was a kid, my friends and I thought it was funny when an older woman mentioned to us that she loved the smell of crayons and that they brought her back to her childhood. Now I understand!

It's possible to modify the image sensors of phones/tablets to make infrared or ultraviolet photography possible?
I opened an old point and shoot camera and removed the IR filter in the early 2000s but it seems to have caused autofocus problems. Purple images are unedited, converted to b&w with slight contrast adjustment.

Do you believe in separating the work from the artist?
I saw Sleeper as a yout and thought it was funny before I knew anything about Woody Allen as a person. I was old enough to rent that VHS, or however I watched it, but I certainly didn't mean to endorse him. To be fair, I haven't watched it again since.
ETA: This isn't some stance I've taken. This is just an anecdote about how I saw a movie both directed by and starring a person who some may find objectionable. For me at that young age, there was only the art because I was not aware of the artist so there was no "separating" to do. I'm not making any suggestions about what others should do.
