Why cancel Freelancer 2, Microsoft? Why?

Goo-da is almost a pokémon

You can live in Cheddar. Nice town, good hiking opportunities.

This is what a software developer would call a con-action error.

Reminds me of that old TV trope of saying “over and out”. This is not how you end a radio transmission. “Over” means that you are finished talking and are now awaiting a reply, “out” means that you finished talking and are going to stop listening for a reply. Saying both together is contradictory, you only say “out” when you’re done.

Historically accurate royal family. Not even joking, it was all incest.

I took speed once with a friend and he was completely off the rails, I didn’t feel anything. Is that a bad sign?

Nah, I’m just gonna do what I’m doing. Commenting on stuff I like or am interested in and that’s it. I’m way too anti-social to do something like building a community.

Nazism is fascism, corporations and the wealthy LOVE fascism because that means they get more power and less regulation. Remember what Benito Mussolini, the founding father of modern fascism and all around shitbag, said about it:

Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.

Royal jelly for queens is stored in special compartments that are constructed specifically to rear a new queen and they drop the larvae in there. Wikipedia has a pic.

Other insects mostly. Technically also birds, but birds are too quick and too strong so the fight is usually over before the bee can sting.

Bees don’t die when they sting. They have a barbed stinger, human skin is elastic and that’s why they get stuck. Our first reaction is to swat or swipe on the site of stinging which rips their stinger off by force. If you leave the bee alone, it will wiggle and twirl around, trying to get itself unstuck and sometimes that is successful, sometimes they’re fucked. The bee didn’t really commit suicide when stinging, you killed it.

Also, did you know that the queen bee has almost full control over their offspring? It works like this: The queen bee only mates once in her life during the nuptial flight and stores the sperm in her spermatheca (like a sperm sac), the drone usually dies in the process because mating tears their endophallus off and the trauma kills him. After founding a colony the queen can now choose whether to fertilize her eggs or not and if she does, a female larva will hatch from the fertilized egg, else a drone larva will hatch through a process called haploid parthenogenesis.

The destiny of becoming a queen or a worker depends entirely on the diet the female larva is fed: all larvae are fed royal jelly (a special secretion from worker bees) for a few days and then worker bees are switched to what is called bee bread which is a mix of pollen and nectar while future queens stay on the royal jelly diet. The royal jelly lets the bees develop their ovaries, making them capable of laying eggs. Technically, all worker bees can lay eggs (which could only produce drones), but in a healthy colony, they will be switched off the royal jelly soon enough so that this rarely occurs.

So, in a way, worker bees can stage a mutiny if they are unhappy with their current queen by feeding a larva royal jelly, rearing a new queen.

Bees are awesome.

Yeah, you’re right. It’s stupid to hold onto them because they are already paid for. Maybe I’ll treat myself to a new RaspPi (mine is old as time, still model 2B)

I still have 175€ in Amazon gift cards from birthday presents and such. I’m not using them but I still said thank you lol

Even tho that probably doesn’t do anything because Amazon already got that money, huh?

What I would give for similar news regarding Amazon.

Got banned from r/politics. In some post about Musk’s sales tanking, I posted that he knew what’s gonna happen but supported Trump anyway so he can live out his hatred towards those he considers inferior. I finished with “May he suffer and wince” and apparently that is “threatening violence against an individual” lmao

Being the village idiot.

It will be a slap on the wrist with a “please do not make it so obvious again”.

It was XFire -> TS -> Vent -> Skype -> Discord for me.

Guilty until proven innocent.
