I read an article on this a while back that made me refrain from actually getting bees. I can’t find it right now, but the gist is that domesticated honeybees will compete with a lot of other pollinators (mainly solitary bees) over the exact same food sources.

However, the honeybees have a gigantic advantage in being supervised, housed and generally looked after by the apiary. Which will also employ methods to stimulate hive-growth, driving the hives demand for food.

That is something a solitary bee - or another pollinator depending on the same nutrition - cannot compete with, driving them away.

So, in a nutshell: adding bees to a place already rich in honeybees? Whatever. Adding honeybees into a local ecosystem not having them rn? That will drastically lower biodiversity

Just a wild guess: are you using the 5ghz or 2.4ghz Wifi? 5ghz is way faster but very fidgety with larger distance to the router, walls in the way or other routers nearby.

So, maybe you can troubleshoot your way out:

• play as close as possible to the router using 5ghz and see if problems persist
• check if changing to 2ghz makes a difference
• use a network analyser on your phone to check if others use the same band as you, which might disrupt your connection. If so, check your router settings to change band to another one

Good luck!

Yup, this. Got polish relatives and they once told me that they actually prefer this type of dub, because they can still hear the original voices and emotions.

Du kannst die beiden Metallhülsen, die an dem Draht sind, gegeneinander drehen. Innen ist ein Gewinde und die Hülse auf der „Drahtseite“ schraubt sich damit an die andere.

Schau mal auf der anderen Seite, an einer Halterung sind manchmal kleine Löcher in den Hülsen, in die ein kleiner Metallstift oder 2er-Innensechskant reinpasst. Damit kann man dann wesentlich einfacher drehen.

You’re welcome :)

Yes, was the same here regarding the rabbit hole. Then I just took a look at what is most commonly played around France by everyone. Simple, do not overcomplicate and have fun.

I’d say as there are 6 balls per team, two or three people on a team is great.

I think (what I remember of) Pétanque is the simplest and most fun version: search for some kind of flat ground if you do not have a “real” boule-ground available. Make two teams and divide the big boule-balls between them.

One team starts throwing the small one and subsequently their first large one. Then, always the team not in the lead (i. e. the team not currently having one of their balls nearest to the small one) has their turn. Ideally, they more or less take turns that way.

If one team has no boule left, the other team can throw theirs until both are done.

Getting opposing balls out of range by hitting them with your own is fine and part of the strategy as well as hitting the small one and thus moving the “centre”.

Then, counting points is pretty straightforward: search for the big one most adjacent to the small one - this team scores this round. Count all of their balls nearer than any of the opposing teams ones. That’s the score.

Pick up everything and start the next round!

Very fun as you can easily talk, eat and drink while playing! Reminds me that I should play again, sometimes.

Have fun! If you do not already have them: get at least to sets of balls, ideally with different colours/ornaments to easily keep them apart while paying/counting.

While always true, feline asthma is something a lot of vets handle vastly different. So, hearing about how other people roll with it can have a great benefit (given you do not simply change medications by yourself, but propose other plans to your vet!)

Interestingly specific question for asklemmy :D and as someone else said: always ask your vet. But hoben the nature of feline asthma, hearing of other ways different vets tried to tackle this with can be helpful.

Our cat is currently on systemic prednisolone via pills. I don’t know the dosage off the bat - they can be split into quarters. The vet told us to gradually reduce the amount by one quarter every two weeks as long as the cat has no asthma-attacks.

When we’re down to one quarter, we will try to switch to the inhaler and see how that goes.

Two things to keep in mind with feline asthma: a) it takes a long time for the levels to adjust and thus see correct effects and b) there are so so many different dependencies like stress, food and other infections. Our cat is prone for UTIs. As soon as the bladder makes problems, we are up again with 1 whole pill per day and she will still get asthma-attacks.

So also watch out for other conditions, they may interfere.

I was kinda surprised that the AI messed up all the text except a perfect recreation of Marlboro

It would literally have cost you nothing not to write that sentence down… but here we are

Yea, they can live pretty long. It’s mostly the dangers out there (cars, people, poison, other animals) that shorten the lifespan drastically.

That’s why indoor cats have a longer lifespan on average.

Also, the kidneys… keep an eye on them and your cat should do pretty well for a long time

Totally not a dumb question tbh - the answer probably also highly depends on where you’re from.

In Germany (also highly depends on county/city) yes, they do normally fare pretty well and shelters often operate multiple feeding stations where there are a lot of strays. So they get to know the „local strays“ and can keep an eye on them via volunteers and cams.

When a cat is visibly sick, they catch them at this station, treat them and if the cat is alright, oftentimes release them again - shelters are notoriously full and money ist scarce for these organisations unfortunately…

However, if there are conditions that make life for this cat (or others - e.g. FIV) dangerous, they are normally kept in the shelter and then opened for adoption as a „only indoors cat“.

Also, older cats often end up in shelters because they often belonged to older people - and when they can’t care for the cats anymore, have to move or die one day, the cats have to go somewhere too.

That’s an interesting one that I’ll have to try out!

Interesting, where do you live that “Malzbier” is alcoholic? Here they are normally the sweet non-alcoholic drinks e.g. children drink

Damn, my new pack of yerba mate infused with pomelo arrived today. I just gulped down the whole cup in one big sip. Fucking delicious as a terere.

Thanks, waited exactly for someone to do this when I saw the image.

👏

Yeah, iirc TetraPak advertised as being an eco-friendly packaging and was prohibited to do so (at least in some countries, dunno) exactly because of that.

Zettlr is a bit similar to Obsidian and FOSS, but imo lacks a bit in the hierarchical options.

I really like Anytype, too. Also Foss, can run/store everything locally but they also offer hosted plans. It has a different paradigm where everything is typed. But this offers a lot possibilities (linking things, using sets and collections)

Yeah, turning it a bit to the side is no big deal.

However, I recently found out that this makes drinking things a little more viscous absolutely impossible without messing up your shit.

I drank a Kefir, which you normally shake before drinking. So there is a lot of it clinging to the inside of the cap for dear life - up until to that very moment you take a sip. Then, it decides that it had enough and spills on your clothes, face, shoes - whatever the fuck it can possibly get to.

So either you need a glass, let it sit until the cap is mostly empty or lick that cap and look like a complete degenerate.

Completely ignoring that fucking crazy statement from the video:

Yes, it can contain meat. But you normally start somewhere at around 5months with only single types of veggies, so you can check allergies and also it’s easier for their digestion. I think you normally do not start any meat before 8 or 9 months.
