[23:42:47] <exec> 08└─It backfired when the founder of the weather channel disagreed with them. Then they had to use arguments to discredit him that could also apply to other meteorologists: He called climate change as the "greatest scam in history".

[23:46:34] <exec> 08└─Olfactorily challenged. Me too, but not as bad as you are, it seems. It's also a matter of valuating or applying some emotion or sense of delight or disgust to a smell, which I don't usually do.
