Maybe they're calling them "Murder Hornets" as to not politicize them, kind of like how some people call COVID-19 "Wuhan Flu."


:thunk:



Yeah the real name is Asian Giant Hornet. Fine, we'll call them Vespa mandarinia.

I've been to that Burgerville. Nothing exciting about it, though I wasn't fighting off waves of Russian paratroopers.

Norman Rockwell had the gift of fully realizing a moment & illustrating it so others could see it too.

New Kids in the Neighborhood, 1967


"The Problem We All Live With,” Norman Rockwell, 1963

Funny enough I only recently saw the uncropped version of the above illuatration. Almost every version I saw beforehand cropped out the racial slur on the wall. Shame too because it's full glory is best seen with it, as uncomfortable as it can be.

Bison are cool as hell. I also love they'll stall traffic for hours at Yellowstone (especially the Western entrance since it cuts close to a riverside meadow they like to frequent).

It's a nice reminder that at Yellowstone, we're the guests and they're the primary residents.

I remember seeing a great night skt out at Mt. Hood back around 2017. I only had my iPhone, but I did have my PVS-14 which gave a little inkling to how full the night sky was with stars:

Alas, even this pic is flattening the image. The depth of the starfield was immense.

We're hitting the point that those that lived through WWII and the immediate aftermath are dying out in significant enough numbers. The cultural relevance to it are fading into far history instead of recent past. If your country wasn't directly involved with WWII would you learn about it in school?

You can also build a solar plant that uses steam. Instead of expensive photoelectric panels use cheap mirrors to concentrate the sunlight, and use the heat from that to boil water.

Aren't those how those giant solar farms out in the SoCal/Nevada deserts work?

There were a few odd starts and evolutionary dead ends with sharks along the way, the helicoprion (whorl toothed shark) is probably the best example of evolution having a crack at sharks and not quite getting it right



We pretty much only have their teeth left in the fossil record because shark bones are cartilaginous and don't fossilize well so we've pretty much had to guess what they look like, they've been confusing palaeontologists for a while


Thanks for reminding me that squid fossils are near-impossible to find.

In the Philippines fast fried pigs face is a bar food (sisig?). If you get an eyelash in yours they say you'll get lucky that night.

Sisig has many parts of the pig that isn't seen in other dishes, including parts from the head. Pig ears are included, as well as sometimes pig brains.

When my mom was about to go into hospice she asked for sisig. As a dutiful son I made it for her. It was a real hassle to cook those pig ears, especially after I had to purée everything anyway so she could swallow it.

There were no eyelashes in the dish I made for her.

Lumpia is like tamales & empanadas where you just dedicate a day making a gigantic batch, then freeze stuff that isn't being immediately used.

I also learned to cook lumpia in an air fryer, you want to lightly brush the outside with oil.

I like lumpia sariwa, but I do make it a point to verify which version a restaurant has before ordering. Luckily 9/10 times it's lumpia shanghai as it's the more popular one.

I think there was a rumor of that but in the opposite direction: Final Strike was so hyped up they gave him tranquilizers that wore off just as the race was underway.
