I convinced some wasps to look for a new Bleibe with stuffing lemon slices in every crack near their nest. Afaik this also might work for hornets. Good luck.

It looks like the changes to the citizenship law are one step closer to becoming reality. I thought I would try and get a head start on the process, since according to the Stadt Köln website, there is a 12-month waiting period before they will even contact you to give you an appointment to drop off your application (which has to be done in person). I called to clarify, and they told me that it will definitely take 12 months, and I should be sure to resend my email requesting an appointment every couple of months so it won't get lost in the inbox because there is no one at the Amt to check it and make appointments (still waiting for the position to be filled).

I first made my Antrag in November of 2021. In February of this year they confirmed that it's approved and I could either proceed with getting rid of my American citizenship, or wait for the new law to take effect. Apparently once it becomes law, the rest of the process will only take about six weeks

Well, looks like the hornets won. Sorry mom, no more tending to the garden for you this year, just stay inside and don't panic if one of those fuckers makes its way into the house, even if a potential sting ("Die tun nix! Absolut harmlos!") is life-threatening for you. Just live with the constant stress and phobia for two months, I'm sure you'll be fine, despite your chronic heart failure. I'm rooting for you!

I faintly remember the government sending experts to use some kind of mild poison to make the hive sleepy and then move it away. Is that not done anymore? (Though to be fair, that was wasps, not hornets.)

Hornets don't sting unless you are within their chosen territory. It is now a hornet house! Sorry for this situation. I had a hornet nest on the balcony of my last apartment. The landlord just told me that they decided to let them stay there. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 12:17 on Aug 24, 2023 |

I've only ever had a single hornet somehow find its way through my window, but even that was thoroughly inconvenient. Those guys are loud, and the sheer size of it was more than a little intimidating. Having a whole nest right out the window sounds absolutely terrible.

I've had a small wasp nests hanging outside one of the Dachfenster for the last 2 months. They're been very docile so far (paper wasps are less aggressive than hornets/yellowjackets). Still, I'm not looking forward to October/November when the queen dies. The workers switch from gathering nectar for the larva to hunting for food for themselves and they can become quite aggressive at this point when you have food out.

I will most certainly not let the wasp gather whatever they want. If they stand between me and my Kuchen then they better be prepared to get aggressive!

Funnily enough, a wasp stinger injects a pain-causing poison. Bremsen on the other hand, are just a general pain-in-the-rear end. I'd imagine that would have stung a lot more if it had been a wasp.  In my experience, it's actually very hard to agitate wasps to the point where they'll sting you. And they'd probably only crawl into someone's knees if you take a Pinsel and cover your skin in marmalade.

Wasps don't really sting you unprovoked but it's also not that hard to accidentally provoke them, like if they get into your clothes somewhere and you threaten to squish them. But generally speaking I've seen a lot of wasps in my life and never got stung. Just stay calm and let them have that Schinken / drop of limo if they want it so bad.

I have a hornet's nest in my garden as well, the nest is just outside our bedroom window. Never tried to enter the house, they just busy themselves eating bark. Nice animals all around.

That they do not meet and interview and make personal and confidential decisions on salary offers based on their obvious perception of the person in front of them? And that's only a societal thing. What about health problems? Medicine and pharmacy? A field in which even race plays a role (in prevalence of certain diseases and response to medicine)?

yeah the pay thing could be changed if employers were transparent about it, my current boss just opened up a spreadsheet and showed me what everyone got and we all get the same depending on Abschluss. Good solution imo (he did ask everyone participating if they’re ok with it obv) For medicine poo poo: just ask people if they have an uterus or nuts, or whatever determines how they react to stuff. That’d still screw up things if you just went by passport/voice gender and the biology actually is different. I’m not actually very well versed in it but wasn’t the gist that women get mis/underdiagnosed anyway?

Treatment and diagnosis for a lot of diseases is worse for women as a lot of medical research recruits more men. One of the reasons is that studies do not want to deal with hormonal cycles as a potential confounding variable, let alone potentially doing trials with women that are later found to be pregnant. Research is getting past that but it's not there yet. There are probably lots of other factors that may matter to individual diagnosis and treatment outcome but are understudied due to them being regarded as a confound.

That’d still screw up things if you just went by passport/voice gender and the biology actually is different. I’m not actually very well versed in it but wasn’t the gist that women get mis/underdiagnosed anyway? You really overestimate how thorough most medical research is. We're lucky if a study even has outcomes separated by male / female at all, and whether that's due to hormones, double X chromosome effect, effects of pregnancy or whatever, or just differences in lifestyle, is basically never clear. So of course in some of these cases e.g. trans men should be considered male (hormones, lifestyle) and in other cases female (genes). It's also easier to recruit men than women for pharmaceutical testing, because pharma firms are understandably worried if the test subject gets pregnant and the baby comes out wrong. But as a consequence of that, basically all medicines are invented and dosed for males, which in some cases can make a big difference. And this last thing has honestly gotten less bad in the last 20 years but there's still a tendency by doctors to dismiss women's complaints because they're like oh, it's hormonal, it's imaginary, she just likes going to the doctor. I guess with long covid this has popped up a bit more again

Just a sidenote, but I wanna point out that women on average having lower paying careers is very much not a coincidence. I read a study a while back that analyzed this phenomenon and basically found that the more women work in a given field/career the more the average pay drops, even when you control for required education/skill. fake edit: found it https://academic.oup.com/sf/article-abstract/88/2/865/2235342
