In short: They're not "disposable".

It's like "flushable wet wipes", the manufacturers are basically lying. In that you can dispose of them just like you can technically flush the wipes. But it is bad to do so.

Yeah it's not the best, but it can be pretty effective since it evaporates at hive temperatures and disperses.

The point is that the commercial miticides are far from the only option that works, and that they've known about the issue for decades.

  • Double clicking with the mouse on a word usually selects the whole word with the space after, very nice for copy-pasting.

  • Double clicking on the selected word will sometimes select the whole line(In some applications it actually selects up to the newline marker, so it will grab multiple lines if resized smaller).

Indeed, but it has been openly shown over the last months. So it should have become obvious to anyone who knows that part of history.

My favorite part is how people in the public eye who present end-of-days predictions always have some weird excuse after the fact. As was beautifully parodied in Parks and Rec.

In this case there have been impersonators, and the original author has no connection to a lot of the newer stuff. She is not trying to cash in or play things up, which is a wonderful contrast to a lot of people who claim to be doomsday predictors.

Yeah, it's not strictly narcissism, but in general it is lower level of empathy in varying degrees.

Based on the drop in Safari usage on mobile and desktop, and the increase in Firefox and Opera usage. I'm sort of assuming they swapped over to use the builtin VPN in opera or an extension in Firefox to bypass the blocks.

It's narcissism. The driving force behind conservatism as a whole, is narcissism. They all think they're the special individual that will get special treatement. Hence the whole "leopards eating faces" thing.

The varroa mite has been blamed for years. It's been a growing issue for decades. And scientists found out in the 80s and 90s that you can use formic acid to treat for them, instead of any commercial miticide.

Yeah, that's mobile game territory.

A 1999 comic book by manga artist Ryo Tatsuki has been fuelling these rumours. In a new edition released in 2021, she claimed the next big earthquake would strike on 5 July this year.

It's called "The Future I Saw", with diary entries and is "based on a dream". One of the covers had a big disaster happening in 2011. That's the year Fukushima was hit with a tsunami.

A lot of superstition has arisen around it, causing tourism to drop off recently. And flights from Hong Kong to Japan have been massively reduced, and one airline even halted their flights there as of a week ago.
