WITHOU T DISTURBING THE BEES THAT IS FANTASTIC BEES ARE GREAT

You don’t understand how fabulous this is!!

  • This hive structure, if it works like the descriptions imply, would make beehives something super affordable, that just about anyone could install near their home and maintain. AND it would reduce the cost of harvesting honey by more than just the money-
  • A typical honey harvesting device costs $200-300, plus the time it takes to use to harvest. For a Langstroth hive, you have to suit up (gear which can be pricey), remove the comb (which is highly disturbing to the bees), install said comb in the extractor (scraping all the caps off the comb first), spin out the honey, RE-open the hive (after suiting up and again disturbing the bees), and put the comb back.
  • If you use a method that doesn’t require an extractor, you usually end up destroying the comb, which is damaging to the hive and intensively laborious for your bees because they have to completely remake the combs from scratch.

What this looks like is that you probably wouldn’t even need to suit up any time you wanted to harvest honey (though you would still need the equipment for installation of the colony and for inspections, etc, or if you’re still getting used to the colony). Removing the viewing window on a hive doesn’t disturb the bees at all (ours hardly even notice us), and the shift in the comb to start extraction is unlikely to cause enough disturbance to merit a response.

The bees get to keep/recycle all the materials they created (aside from the honey), and you get fresh, almost-effortless honey.

Perhaps the most important and AWESOME thing about this?? The “Flow Frames” that allow for this type of extraction can be used with pre-existing hive boxes. This means that folks who already own bees that are being kept in most kinds of hives, especailly the standard Langstroth hive boxes, can replace their old frames with Flow frames without having to start from scratch.

The Indiegogo campaign to start production on these launches in just a few hours (11AM AU EST, Feb. 23rd, 2015), so if you want to help these folks revolutionize bee-keeping, I would suggest signing up for their mailing list!

ok just checked out their indiegogo campaign and they surpassed their goal by 3,089% this makes me so happy

The campaign finished with an awesome total of $12,191,699 (!!!) surpassing their goal by 17,417%. Astonishing.

I was looking for something else entirely and this post went by, so I wondered “what happened afterwards”.

Successful production is what happened. More here.

due to the thesis inherent in seinfeld's writing the principal cast of the sitcom would likely not survive a visit to silent hill as they would be unable to achieve the personal growth necessary to overcome the monsters facing them

Equally, owing to the show's strictly episodic format, they'd spend an eternity trapped in a ceaseless vortex of pain and death without hope of resolution or respite, and then next week they'd all be fine.

A ceaseless vortex of pain and death without hope of resolution or respite sounds like your average sitcom tbh, it's just dropped the pretense

The show literally ends with them sentenced to Jean Paul Sartre's hell in "No Exit".

The difference between my family and other people is that my family thinks I'm manipulative and fake to everyone else in the world because they've never seen me act like a huge cunt like family has. The thing is, when I'm thrown off the loop and need like 30 minutes of silence to sit down on the floor an let the gunk in my brain settle back down to the bottom sediment layer without stirring them back up again, other people just let me do that.

Most people have never seen me become a huge cunt because they don't consider "please just let me sit down in silence for like 30 minutes so I don't turn into a huge cunt" to be an unreasonable request.

This was a favorite tactic of my mother's: insinuating that the version of me known to friends, teachers, and everyone else in my life was phony and that the angry, reactive version of me she saw was the "real me."

(She conveniently omitted the part where she and no one else went out of her way to bait me into a fight basically every day. Wonder why!)

Nobody knows you like family does because nobody treats you like family does.

That's abusive! The way they're treating you, that's abuse.

And they look out so hard for the well being of the spiders AND the dolphins

@moss-wizard of course this isn’t how we serve it!!

It has to be in a dish with much higher sides, so when we go to cut it and it tries to sliiiiiide away it doesn’t escape and blorp blorp blorp across mom’s nice tablecloth

SLICE YOUR CANNED BOGBERRY GOO INTO DISCS BEFORE SERVING, YOU FILTHY HERETICS.

NO. IT WILL BE SERVED IN PROPER CAN SHAPE, AND WILL HAVE ITSELF SCOOPED INTO WEIRD SHAPES THE WAY THE GODS INTENDED

YOU STAY OUTTA THIS, GOD-QUEEN-EMPEROR. AND TAKE YOUR CERVID STALKERS WITH YOU.

It's supposed to be served in can shape with two discs already sliced and laying tastefully in front

I have consulted the scriptures and this is variation is still within the bounds of orthodoxy.

Mash the can shape up. We giving the table what they want, chaos in a dish, with a serving spoon.

Not to derail the escalating heresy, but what do dolphins have to do with cranberry bogs?

cranberry is served in its can shape in the can direction, not on its side but on its cylinder

Right but you guys know that ocean spray also sells like. Cranberries. Which you can use to make an actually edible cranberry sauce on the stovetop in 10 minutes of unattended cook time

actual cranberries? ew no thank you. The unprocessed chunky stuff is GROSS.

I love them both.

Y’all.

Y’ALL.

So I’m in Minneapolis right now, and decided to visit the art museum. Y’all I need to show you what I just found in a collection of Dutch paintings.

Look at the boy’s eyes and smile.

Y’all.

I’ve seen that face before. On more than one person. Those exact eyes, that exact smile.

HE HAS DOWN SYNDROME.

He’s the focal point of this painting, or more precisely his fish is, and he’s got Down syndrome.

This is from the 1600s, y’all.

“Where were the disabled people back then” FISHING, APPARENTLY.

Disabled people have always been here. You just have to look.

The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.

My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.

Seein' too many Twitter refugees asking if they'll get in trouble for saying "kill yourself" to people and while no, you're not gonna get nuked from orbit, that is maybe something you just shouldn't be doing in general perhaps?? Maybe telling people to kill themselves is bad actually?? Some of y'all are wild, why is the first thing you can think to ask on a new platform if you can send one of the worst kinds of harassment to people?? Grow tf up and learn how to use the block button. It'll do wonders for your mood, trust me.

People in the notes desperately trying to come up with a group subhuman enough to warrant suicide baiting: I don't trust you.

You're told "this is a cruel and evil thing to do" and your first instinct is "okay but what if I find an acceptable target", and that tells me everything I need to know about you as a person, which is I don't want you anywhere near me.

The problem with dehumanizing others is not that you chose the wrong target, it's the fact you're ghoulish enough to do it in the first place. Congratulations, you're actively part of the reason we're having a human rights crisis world-wide right now: assholes like you keep thinking if they find the right target demographic, they get to unperson people.

Be fucking better.

The reason you don't see kys on here so much isn't because of mods or something, it's because we, as a website, collectively decided we Weren't Doing That Anymore like, a decade ago.

We don't see it on here so much? Since when?

I see it all the time.

HELP

If you google "ERR chatgpt 4-o credits expired" I am finding no results other than the ones referencing this incident: a real JSON error when you run out of ChatGPT credits looks like this

Which is a completely different error, and also does not give you the prompt back. Furthermore, that is not even the correct name of the model: it's "GPT-4o", not "chatgpt 4-o". These things together strongly point to this being fake.

Another interesting thing is how, even if this were true, there is still no evidence of this actually being "the russian government" or the "FSB", other than the language: it could easily be a scammer based in Russia doing engagement farming or something.

Obviously I'm not saying Russia is above doing psyops, but we still should do fact checking even if the story is funny...

If it was faked, it was faked by whoever was running the now-suspended hisvault_eth account. The replies are still in place on Twitter, and match what's in the screenshots.
