Varroa mites in the wild are a big deal. They are very troublesome with European honeybees, esp. those kept in Langstroth hives. In the wild, bees swarm regularly, and any time they swarm and form a new hive, the new hive not only rids itse

Weird. I'm not a beekeeper, nor a biologist, but Seeley's one of the top authorities on both - he picked up Karl von Frisch's work and extended it further translating bee language/communications. His accounts of site ana

Thomas Seeley's written extensively on feral honeybees. According to him they are thriving, and he's done a whole lot of fieldwork looking into this topic. https://www.amazon.com/Lives-Bees-Untold-Story-Honey/

I've done some long, slow, "eco" trips (on shoestring budgets and air mile points). It's not popular with rich people yet. Mostly it's retirees out birding. Rich people are much more likely to be clubbing internatio

I feel like the data might not be a slam dunk for your case at all. Bernays started his "Torches of Freedom" PR campaign in 1929. The rate of women smoking actually dropped dramatically soon after thanks to the Great Depression. O

If they had something similar that was a different workflow but was as powerful, flexible, and involved a few steps to do what you can do in PS in three or four steps but in the current GIMP in fifteen or more, then that'd be great. It

Let's say you want to stack a contrast, a saturation, and a color temp adjustment layer (or levels/curves/or a color threshold/etc.), then want to keep tweaking them until you're happy. I do this often. Or you have

Virtually anyone coming from Photoshop with basic knowledge of the app uses adjustment layers. You can add a layer that applies filters to a mask that leaves the layers beneath untouched. They're incredibly powerful. It's rare I h

The people who are cheating aren't the ones figuring out the cheats. The people providing the cheats are doing interesting things, but also enabling cheaters to steal fun from the game from everyone else.

Blisseys are hard solo, though if you have a few folks hitting them with a Gyrados or Dragonite you can take them out. My wife and I just took down a L10 gym with 5 Blisseys, and the rest Snorlaxes and Dragonites, and with three people no

Enough people are playing that most teams are forming communities to manage controlling gyms in various areas around here and occasionally raid. Pretty much every gym in a 10 mile radius of my house is a level 10 within hours of flipping.

There are many, many reasons. Trump promised to be extra soft on Russia re:NATO, re:Ukraine, etc. His single contribution to the GOP platform was to soften the GOP's position on Ukraine. Some of his staff were also Russian clients. H

So long as OSA sticks around, it'd be hard to shed a tear over AppleScript - you can use saner languages to do everything Applescript does through OSA. AppleScript is a complete abomination of a language. Killing OSA would be a terri

No worries. Given the absurdity of the conversation there wasn't really anything appropriate to add but joking around, but the joke was meant for people who aren't humorless, so I understand why you'd be confused.

It was a joke. The amount of mind reading you believed you managed to accomplish from a setup and a punch line is pretty astounding. Maybe leave that to the magicians?

Man, the NXDOMAIN was part of the joke :( The spelling error in etiquette bugged me, but not enough to do anything. SEO-ish behavior, though, that was enough to motivate me to update things.
