Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

I had a bumble-bee nest under the concrete slab in my garage. I sprayed and then caulked up the entrance, and the bastards came out into my basement. Hundreds and hundreds of big fat bumble-bees in my basement. Fortunately, they were pretty sick from the spray and died off quickly.
While I understand that in this case it would have been woefully impractical to relocate the nest, as a general rule you should look up any local beekeepers and call them about a hive you want removed. They are almost always keen to get an established queen and hive for free. Likewise if you encounter any bees swarming (the bee-ball) they'll be keen on collecting them.

It is an absolute waste to kill them except in the most impossible of retrieval circumstances.

My favourite episode of wtyp covers these:

As a general rule, cave people are insane. People who think it is a good idea to wedge themselves between two or more enormous rocks have something profoundly wrong with them that not even a hundred thousand years of natural selection has managed to fix. If something goes wrong you are probably going to die even if people try to rescue you, and it is always going to be horrible and often take a very long time unless you get lucky and drown. And when drowning is the "getting lucky" option you know poo poo is absolutely terrible.

I'm going to be honest. I found the idiot making an illegal turn and holding up traffic to be more interesting. It was only on the second loop that I noticed there was a gigantic hole.

In the 1940s, there was a train wreck that killed 40 people, caused by a train ignoring signals and plowing into the back of another. In response, government regulations were enacted that required trains going 80mph or above to be equipped with automatic brake systems that would trigger if a signal was disobeyed.

The railroads' response was to set a maximum speed limit of 79mph.
You could also watch this recent episode of WTYP on that very incident:

Yeah, the TSA's only real job duty these days besides standing around looking official is tipping off the cops when they find money in your luggage so the cops can seize it as "proceeds of crime" under civil asset forfeiture.

Can people please link the articles directly instead of linking to the hellsite that is twitter for this poo poo? Some of us don't want to give Musk traffic as he drives that shithole into the ground and it is absolutely unnecessary. I am personally not a fan of clicking links to have to click a link to get to the interesting thing when the interesting thing could have been linked directly, especially when the first link now leads to nazitown.

the twitter link automatically embeds a photo, the headline and some context, as well as an easy link to a twitter thread that may have additional context. There's a reason we added twitter embedding. If clicking a loving redirect is that painful for you then just google the headline goddamn
That embedding doesn't work for everyone. I just get a url and no amount of fiddling with my settings here, in my browser, or my browser plugins (Including deactivating all of them entirely) has managed to change that.

Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, and was once the only element in it. It's not Hydrogen that's weird, it's everything else.

Every time WTYP comes up it's always followed by pages of goons whining about his co-hosts. Don't listen to it then.
The point of such incessant bashing is because they not only don't like it, other people should not like or watch it either.

I find the podcast amusing, myself.

That's actually quite sad. Beekeepers are almost always keen on getting a swarm like that, since it's basically a new queen looking for a place to make a new hive along with a bunch of workers, so it's essentially a completely free hive as far as they are concerned. I've seen dudes in a bee suit just walk up to such a thing and dump the bee-ball in a box and take them home to slap in a hive box, in and out in under a minute.

Notice that only the dust is on fire. They are shoveling coal, the dust combusts when they pick it up and eventually burns away.
The coal is burning too, it is just not doing flames that people see and go "Oh, it's on fire". Coal mine fires are loving horrible from a firefighting perspective. They're only marginally easier to extinguish than the sun.

That's a weir. If a dam is overtopping you should have already evacuated everyone downstream.
