This needs a “reticulating splines” step.
- Comment on A rare polar bear showed up on the shores of Iceland. Police shot it 1 month ago:
We can all agree that it’s a tragedy that this animal died.
The other consideration is that polar bears are amongst the most relentless and vicious predators around. A polar bear around an inhabited area is very much a serious safety threat. Iceland doesn’t have any animal predators and therefore also wouldn’t have the trained people or equipment necessary to deal with neutralizing and relocating this bear.
I would have liked to have seen the animal safely moved. But I suspect there’s more context to this story that we don’t have beyond the headline.
- Comment on What knot(s) should I use to secure this? 3 months ago:
If you want to be able to trim off the ends, I suggest a double fisherman’s instead (aka the double overhand stopper) with both strands (hold them together while you tie and treat them as a single strand).

A flat overhand bend in the elastic cord is what I recommend: www.animatedknots.com/flat-overhand-bend-knot
