That hive is ready to burst and making queen cells, expand now and nip those queens. Replacement queens are awful mutts. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…ryrt Did last years hives survive the winter? npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…xrfx What do you draw maps on?

Everyone that learns a new language has to ask the basic stuff, and you’ll never find it there. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…e4ry Probably not good for the microwave. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…e4ry Its not porous?

Originally, I’m from the Chicago area, and I figured I’d like it, but that it would be largely similar. I was wrong. I love NY precisely because it has a very different feel from Chicago. I love them both, but it is not the same. I can’t wait to go back, but I’ll skip the fireworks. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…6zuf 🕺 but to be more descriptive : 🕺🇰🇷😈🕵️♂️ npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…skc4 Crap! That’s the Sims. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…5f2h I tried obsidian, but found Koder to work how I wanted. Rather than Markdown, I went with html though. It made linking between pages more intuitive to me. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…9pnq This is a smart move. MO, AG’s have a lot of experience covering up child abuse at boarding schools like Agape Boarding School. Our now senator Shultz had a direct hand in that cover up, and I’m sure Bailey has the Lighthouse covered too. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon Seemed like fun. #StatueofDavid #subway #freeDC #nationalguard https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/media_attachments/files/115/038/574/758/284/929/original/359f2dd17d9cdd25.jpeg npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…60lz I just threw out a stack of MRS journals to make room, but honestly I can’t think of why I felt I needed to keep them. I just remember all of my professors with walls of JACS and such. It seemed like something I should have. But I came to grad school at the transition. I started grad school look up references on a shelf in Chem Abstracts and ended with SciFinder and absolutely everything at my fingertips online. Kind of a wild ride. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…args I’ve played Skyblock variants before, but it is a little too tense for me to enjoy. How does “industrial skyblock” even work? npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…args My cynical side thinks this is partly to move prisoners to red areas so they can count them in redistricting. Suddenly Trump wants an early census. Actually, my normal side id pretty convinced of this too. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…66c8 And now this Gen X will too, because that is sensible. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf I’m glad you got that straightened out. There’s plenty of time for the new queen. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…60lz More telling is that every other nation went the other direction, which means people were probably not answering on an absolute scale, but a relative one. No rational person thinks Saudi Arabia is suddenly less dangerous. Frankly, I have them up with Russia. It’s clear they are buying politicians to create conflict, and they have their fingerprints all over 9/11. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…66c8 People that think everyone is using AI for everything live in a bubble of stupid. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…fa4k I’d like to make them with some sort of pro-chiral symmetry and attach them to a surface by a rotating bond. (Alternatively, the surface could have some pro-chiral structures that act like a ratchet.) The pro-chirality is necessary so that, when you add peroxide, rotational momentum is preferential in one direction. Will all of those little rotational momentums add up to a bulk motion of the fluid or the wafer? (Surface modification would likely be etched wafer.) npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…0tvd I can’t wait until I’m allowed to get it. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…0vmh @nprofile…njna I particularly want to compare all of the varieties. We pretty much only get one kind. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf I’m down in Springfield, so we have similar seasons. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf @nprofile…vuff No, queen cells won’t happen this year. I’m not certain if they make them in late fall, but I suspect nit until early spring next year. My hive exploded their second year, and I was caught completely off guard. Late March next year, take a warm day and look. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf @nprofile…vuff Just don’t miss those queen cells. You don’t want to lose that great queen you paid for. The replacement will not be as good. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf Are you feeding them? npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…m2ru @nprofile…fa4k It’s all about refractive index matching. The flower petals absorb water until the petals match the refractive index of water. Once the refractive indexes all match, light no longer scatters at the interfaces. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…args @nprofile…3cap @nprofile…f0fj Ants themselves may be less of a problem, but the parasites they could carry may be disastrous. Veroa mites came from imported bees. Those things have decimated bee populations globally since. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf I’d forgotten about that. I wonder if I should have left mine on. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf Good day for it. How long will you keep the narrow exit. I don’t think mine lasted long. They really took off. I vet right now, you could open the hive in your underwear without getting stung. This was my favorite time. They are so docile. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf How are your bees doing? npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf I think there were some formic acid based ones coming out just as I got out. I don’t think that would bother me on a super. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf Yeah, mine started out super docile, but I swear that hive has a memory. One day I checked for varoa mites, and that pissed them off. Every day since, a visit required a full suit. Prior, I could literally go out there in my underwear and tend the bees. I don’t know how they deal with mites these days, but I’d just assume they are infested and treat them once in a while. They don’t like you killing their sisters, and they don’t care why. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf They survived! Woohoo! I was genuinely worried. What kind do you have? Are they Italians? My first hive was Italians, then I got Russians. Then everybody died, because I think my Russian queen was shit, and my good Italian queen got up and left when I wasn’t paying attention. The replacement sucked. I should have requeened. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf Oh man, it’s going to get cold this weekend. I hope they make it. That’s gotta be rough for a small hive. They don’t have many bees or energy stores to keep warm. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…wjfe I look forward to my annual trip to California for basic medical care. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…args “Clockwise” implies a frame of reference. What is their frame of reference? Is it Earth? So most galaxies use EARTH as a reference point to determine what direction to spin? I don’t like that at all. It doesn’t sit with me scientifically or ontologically. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…lwhf I did that for a while. My bees ultimately didn’t make the second season because I let them swarm. Watch out for that npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…3ug8 @nprofile…yyyn @nprofile…gfyr And Europe, unlike India, has a vested interest and demonstrated history in keeping peace. We know this because of the number of times Europe has invaded its neighbors. (It’s 0) Russia’s record is obviously not so good. It’s probably easier to ask what neighbors they haven’t invaded. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…3ug8 @nprofile…yyyn @nprofile…gfyr If Ukraine accepts India or Turkey as Neutral then someone should propose such a thing to them. So far the negotiations have all between Russia, Trump, and Saudi Arabia for some reason, lol. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…3ug8 @nprofile…yyyn @nprofile…gfyr As you said, there are no nuetral parties, so you’re killing any chance of peace before it starts. Only Russia thinks there should be no peacekeeping forces, because Russia has no intention of peace. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…3ug8 @nprofile…yyyn @nprofile…gfyr That’s just false. I’d bet Ukraine accepts Belarusian peacekeepers on Russia’s side of the demarkation line if Russia accepts European peacekeepers on the Ukrainian side. The problem is that Russia has no intention of holding up any end to hostilities, and a EU peacekeeping force presents a risk it won’t take, which is the point. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…07t5 @nprofile…kuyv No dialogue?

They treat their own citizens as chattel, then openly invade any nation that doesn’t agree while blaming the West. It’s really twisted. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…hyrk Russia considered Ukraine to be part of its sphere of influence, but nobody likes being in Russia’s sphere of influence because they are shitty little country that doesn’t produce anything if value and treats its citizens like shit. So when elections started leaning west, Russia started poisoning opposition leaders. Russia has been the aggressor since 2004. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…8n7h A memorial to a battle for the reinstatement of slavery in Texas. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…8n7h Alamo was about keeping slavery alive in Texas, while Mexico banned it. There is nothing to glorify at the Alamo. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @nprofile…36ma Bottom left says “people are watching”, and I only needed to translate one character.

Israel is a mess, but they are ultimately our ally, and the ties are too deep to just pull out, I suspect. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1zh2…7965 @npub1u7n…ytxp What huge mistakes has he made? npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1mmf…eknq @npub132h…f594 Yes. They wanted South Carolina to be first, because it was more representative. I never read anything else. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1mmf…eknq @npub132h…f594 I believe the reason the DNC rejected New Hampshire’s early primary was it’s lack of representation. So, I don’t think it is spin. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1g0t…tvm4 It’s classism, plain and simple. You can also find these “dangerous” ultra-processed ingredients in Haute cuisine. There are entire online stores with them, such as the Modernist Pantry. Xantham gum is a standard in my pantry. It’s the fat, salt, sugar, and calories that are killing us. Processed food is made for longer shelf life, and travel, which often means concentrating these factors. But the uproar about it is straight up classism. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1zdp…vqv8 @npub1s67…n0nm What is a major ant? npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1yvd…uxj9 @npub1ccn…czwu @npub1pfv…fepy It’s a game of chess for sure, but reuniting China with Taiwan with China is the stuff they’ve been teaching to their population for decades. They will definitely risk war. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1ccn…czwu @npub1pfv…fepy I think if we armed Taiwan with nuclear weapons, the waiting game would be over. China will never let them get deployed. China invades that day. If Taiwan responds with nukes, it will be a nuclear wasteland. China would not be deterred by nukes on this one. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1ccn…czwu @npub1pfv…fepy We can’t win this one. We have a lot of high end manufacturing tied up in Taiwan. A war would be devastating. The best we can hope for is a peaceful transfer of power. Our best hope was economic leverage through the TPP, and that failed to coalesce. This is definitely not worth it. I suspect this is one motivation for the CHIPS act. We NEED to have our own manufacturing of high end electronics for national security reasons. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1u4k…vxe4 I’d play it. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1typ…c8hh It’s clearly meant to be his DeLorean.

There is no getting rid of Hamas without killing innocent people, because Hamas is making sure of it. Do think we should let Hamas continue to exist, raining terror on the world whenever some autocrat like Putin needs a distraction? Either way, you are killing civilians. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1k4q…3lsq The complexity is where Hamas, an organization willing to use human shields, bomb their own hospitals, murder civilians, and strap bombs to hostages, has been holding all of Gaza hostage for decades. How do you remove Hamas? Their goal, in the charter, is the destruction of Israel. No amount of peacemaking will change this. From now until the end of time, whenever an autocrat nerds a distraction, they can arm Hamas. Or we get rid of Hamas. Don’t say that isn’t complex. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub189n…satx We are all pawns. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1qyn…gc4x @npub16qp…u0e9 Who do you think the current VP is? He compared her to public groping, as if her history somehow puts her in the same category. Or did he edit his post then block me? Because the insinuation was quite clear. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub16qp…u0e9 @npub1qyn…gc4x Vice President Kamala Harris is VP. Whatever you’re trying to insinuate about her is irrelevant, since she’s never lied about the affair or attempted to use her position to intimidate theater goers at a public theater. Bout, I guess you have to have a double standard for the black lady. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub1tps…9rmt Go the other way, obviously. npub192wdrsn2etseywzzensej5urm0chs6tcqptfx25nlc6u0x32tfaq6ck86s Extra_Special_Carbon @npub189n…satx @npub1507…e4gg I think he must have known that, which means the alternative was worse.
