I'm taking a break from drinking too. I went to the first year anniversary party for a brewery in Kyoto. The name is Yamorido, and yamori means Gecko. So they had gecko shaped cookies. I'm feeling very iffy about my work situation, I'm not sure what's happening in some ways. Lots of conflicting information and it doesn't feel good Escape From Noise fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Jun 13, 2020 |

Oh man now I'm remembering an old Yamaha keyboard I used to have as a kid and the demo song was Billie Joel's "just the way you are" but it was performed by all these different piano voices that sounded nothing like their source instruments because 80's and I'm cracking myself up. And that's enough from me tonight!

What do you think happened? The one was gone for at least a month or two. Maybe taken back to bee HQ during the lockdown? Oh, Beehive! - Austin Power movie ---------------- |

Looks like I'm going to need to buy a new laptop. You orbs have any suggestions? I don't need anything super high spec. I'd like a PC. I have a Lenovo right now, which I was pretty happy with. Maybe something with a larger screen for watching movies and shows. Not a fan of touch screens. |

I think that might be what I have. I got some liquid on it and the keyboard started acting weird, then it was fine, now today it's back to acting weird. So RIP. It's about 5 years old anyways, so I was probably going to have to replace it sooner or later. |

Stoner Sloth posted:Aah venom! Ya I did quite some reading on the aaHIT (lol) venom, the latest number for LD50 I found was from a publication that went with 0.44mg/kg, so it revolves around 0.3 to 0.8mg/kg depending on what source you cite, the newer ones seem to go down a bit. Given he is able to produce around two drops of venom per sting, a fully grown one can release up to 10mg of venom in a best/worst case scenario, yeah that's very lethal. I was actually preparing to get myself Pandina Imperator with a rather you know, chill venom and a larger body, as his enclosure is very big, but for some reason getting the literally most dangerous scorpion there is, is not only completely unregulated in it seems like all of Europe, it also is drat easy. Like, it's easier to get those around here than the less deadly ones and the guy I got Hector from did, to be honest, not know a lot about scorpions at all. He accidentally had them get babies and wanted to get rid of them, so I took one from him, as he planned to kill the rest. I managed to arrange a deal with the university I work for to rescue them along with the mom scorpion (dad was killed after impregnation, you know, normally you wouldn't do stuff like that) and also we got some other illegal herp he had there. So yeah this was less than ideal and not really planned, but I looked my stuff up and was instructed by one of our biology professors, so I hope I'm up for the challenge and also always have an out if it turns out I'm not. Let that be a warning for all, don't get pets and especially don't breed pets if you don't know what you're doing. At least not venomous ones.

What do you think happened? The one was gone for at least a month or two. Maybe taken back to bee HQ during the lockdown? It might be possible that it's the same hive, but it's swarming, so they split the hive up. Maybe they wanted to kvor elsewhere but were unhappy with the result, so they came back and decided to swarm from the roof, resulting in what looks like two hives, one that stays and one that will move out soon-ish. It is rather rare of them to return to an originally abandoned nest, but it might as well be that it's a different hive that also just happens to swarm now. Or they're planning something big. Bee world takeover??

Stoner Sloth posted:im english & old english I do not like the idea at all to see our fellow animal friends as venom or antidote supplies just because they happen to produce them naturally, but I'd take a rescue operation for a bunch of babies over killing them all for no reason any time! I wish people wouldn't randomly import or breed them for no reason at all, so we wouldn't have to deal with it in the first place, but people being people  Nah there is no logic behind the lack of regulations at all. Animal regulation is a matter of the state, not federal law and thus we have 16 different laws for that, none of which cover certain highly venomous animals. There are massive restrictions for bigger animals, it is completely illegal (unless you got a zoo-level permit) to own tigers, crocodiles and the like (looking at you tiger king fans), also it is illegal to own snakes like Boa Constrictor and other that can overpower you via sheer strength, as well as monkeys etc. etc. we got all bases covered there. However, in my state, there is a law called the "Venomous animal act" and it hilariously doesn't include any venomous animals at all, except for certain big reptiles that also produce venom like monitor lizards. There was an incident last year where a monocled cobra, naja kaouthia, escaped and for like four days police, firefighters and animal experts had to evacuate several houses while searching for her, as the surrounding hospitals all had no antidote ready to go and had to import it from China (lol) which took a couple of days. They found her and nothing bad happened, but it was just this incident that led to lawmakers to rethink the laws behind venomous animals here. They made a new law but it didn't get passed yet due to postponing because you know, virus stuff. Like, don't get me wrong, I love Hector and I wouldn't want to give him away again and I truly love the excitement and fascinating nature of him and other venomous animals, but I would have absolutely no problem to at least register him or prove that I know about him before I'm allowed to get him. Another state has a law where you have to register venomous animals so that your next hospital has a register of them nearby and knows where to get antidote just in the very, very rare case where someone here does get hit by them. It's crazy to think in my state you have to register and prove that you know stuff when you get certain types of dogs, but I could own a herd of death adders without telling anyone.
