    If Trump is holding back on stopping the Russian/Ukraine war just as some sort of dangled treat, then we don't need him.

    As a human being, if he has that control he should exercise it, no matter the outcome of the election.

    And besides, he never answered whether he wanted Ukraine to win or not.

    I'm genuinely curious to know the age in years of the semen Sean Collins is willing to drink.

    Does Sean Collins believe that if you drink semen it can impregnate you?

    Weird.

    Hello, fellow piper.

    I also find Missouri Meerschaum pipes an excellent starter pipe for $20 to get someone into the hobby.

    My spouse had a suped up Challenger named Gurtrude. It was a funny reaction when people saw it for the first time. They expected a beater.

    Yeah, if a parent yells at me for grabbing a kids hand to keep them from running into traffic, I will look them in the face and tell them that I will just let their kid get smeared for 80 yards next time.

    I have no patience for that.

    Does no one else see that Clarence Thomas (who has been accused [with proof] that he took millions in "gifts") is sitting on a court that just overturned a rule the would hold him accountable to receiving those gifts?

    I am changing my diet, but I am not fully "there" yet.

    I have gotten a lot of traction by merely saying "today is not a meat day for me" when I order some things.

    It's way easier to eat at a veg-forward restaurant, but those aren't always available, and often the food is expensive.

    Absolutely true. It's almost like a badge of "look at how bad my arteries will be in a couple of years." I guess the vocal minority in a lot of areas probably give a lot of groups a bad rep.

    I have never heard of a beekeeper gassing a hive with cyanide instead of "spending money" overwintering them (as stated in the fastcompany article). There is no cost to overwintering bees. You just wrap the hive in what equates to a blanket during the coldest parts of the year. The bees do a great job of keeping themselves warm.

    Plus, why would a beek "gas" the hives when they could simply take the covers off and let the bees freeze to death? I presume cyanide is expensive. That entire argument is counter to itself.

    Once again, I am NOT a commercial beek, but that seems unnecessarily complicated.

    Edit: it looks like both articles really focus on commercial beekeeping. I don't know where I will land on this. The honey I get is not food for the bees during the winter. Bees overproduce honey if the conditions are right. I only harvest honey that contains no brood (baby bees) and is separated from the laying queen. The food for the hive stays near the brood core, which is where bees stay during the winter.

    I haven't lost a hive yet during the overwintering process. I also have not substituted with any sugar feed. The only thing that I have supplied the bees is a 100% pollen "patty" from local pollen and water during the hottest part of the year.

    I have been a beekeeper for years. I agree that the bees are NOT in their natural habitat. However, I keep a significantly better control of the environment than the bees do in this habitat. It is better for the surrounding area, and I have talked my neighbors out of pesticide use because my bees will help pollinate their gardens and trees.

    One extra note from the ko-fi article: I have never, ever heard of the practice of trimming queen wings. That is vicious, and I would never do that. Let the bees be bees. If they leave, I wasn't doing a good enough job of supporting them. I am not a commercial beekeeper, though. Merely someone who likes being around them all year.

    Yes. Some health concerns started me thinking about my diet. Regular blood tests in my case means one baseline to basically kick everything off, followed by another 6 weeks later, and 2 subsequent follow up.

    Olympic Recurve? Barebow? Compound?

    Hello archers! I learned the very basics of archery in my early youth on a very basic fiberglass youth bow. While still very young, I picked up a second hand compound bow. Somewhere along the lines, life got in the way, and I dropped the sport. In my middle years, I am trying to pick up the sport again. I see posts here about Olympic Recurve and Barebow shooting. I know that I can simply google or YouTube a quick answer, but I wanted to start a discussion here about the differences between bows and their uses. For instance, I inherited my stepfather's wooden recurve hunting bow. I have always known that "style" to be a recurve. What makes an Olympic recurve bow different?
