HAS SCIENCE GONE TO FAR?!

My dad once felt a sneeze coming while brushing teeth. He tried to suppress it and closed his mouth, resulting in a mouthful of minty toothpaste pressure-washing his nose.

He didn’t recommend this experience at all, besides the burning agony that lasted quite a while, crumbs of dry toothpaste kept falling out of his nose for like a week sporadically.

Or press the tip of your tongue very firmly against the roof of your mouth. Helps me mitigate sneezes

I read an article on this a while back that made me refrain from actually getting bees. I can’t find it right now, but the gist is that domesticated honeybees will compete with a lot of other pollinators (mainly solitary bees) over the exact same food sources.

However, the honeybees have a gigantic advantage in being supervised, housed and generally looked after by the apiary. Which will also employ methods to stimulate hive-growth, driving the hives demand for food.

That is something a solitary bee - or another pollinator depending on the same nutrition - cannot compete with, driving them away.

So, in a nutshell: adding bees to a place already rich in honeybees? Whatever. Adding honeybees into a local ecosystem not having them rn? That will drastically lower biodiversity

Just a wild guess: are you using the 5ghz or 2.4ghz Wifi? 5ghz is way faster but very fidgety with larger distance to the router, walls in the way or other routers nearby.

So, maybe you can troubleshoot your way out:

  • play as close as possible to the router using 5ghz and see if problems persist
  • check if changing to 2ghz makes a difference
  • use a network analyser on your phone to check if others use the same band as you, which might disrupt your connection. If so, check your router settings to change band to another one

Good luck!

Yup, this. Got polish relatives and they once told me that they actually prefer this type of dub, because they can still hear the original voices and emotions.

Du kannst die beiden Metallhülsen, die an dem Draht sind, gegeneinander drehen. Innen ist ein Gewinde und die Hülse auf der „Drahtseite“ schraubt sich damit an die andere.

Schau mal auf der anderen Seite, an einer Halterung sind manchmal kleine Löcher in den Hülsen, in die ein kleiner Metallstift oder 2er-Innensechskant reinpasst. Damit kann man dann wesentlich einfacher drehen.

You’re welcome :)

Yes, was the same here regarding the rabbit hole. Then I just took a look at what is most commonly played around France by everyone. Simple, do not overcomplicate and have fun.

I’d say as there are 6 balls per team, two or three people on a team is great.

I think (what I remember of) Pétanque is the simplest and most fun version: search for some kind of flat ground if you do not have a “real” boule-ground available. Make two teams and divide the big boule-balls between them.

One team starts throwing the small one and subsequently their first large one. Then, always the team not in the lead (i. e. the team not currently having one of their balls nearest to the small one) has their turn. Ideally, they more or less take turns that way.

If one team has no boule left, the other team can throw theirs until both are done.

Getting opposing balls out of range by hitting them with your own is fine and part of the strategy as well as hitting the small one and thus moving the “centre”.

Then, counting points is pretty straightforward: search for the big one most adjacent to the small one - this team scores this round. Count all of their balls nearer than any of the opposing teams ones. That’s the score.

Pick up everything and start the next round!

Very fun as you can easily talk, eat and drink while playing! Reminds me that I should play again, sometimes.

Have fun! If you do not already have them: get at least to sets of balls, ideally with different colours/ornaments to easily keep them apart while paying/counting.

While always true, feline asthma is something a lot of vets handle vastly different. So, hearing about how other people roll with it can have a great benefit (given you do not simply change medications by yourself, but propose other plans to your vet!)

Blue hours (sh.itjust.works)
 

My 2yo has one night with kind of a blue hour every other week, where he wakes up in the night and is just completely awake for 1-2,5 hours. Wanting to read books, maybe snack a bit.

They’re more common for him when there’s something up (milestones like learning a lot new words, when he learned to walk, teething, …)

Do any of you experience them? How do you handle this? We manage okay with keeping the light low, reading books that he can choose, but otherwise enforced staying in the bed.

So, we switched from one really big blanket to two individual smaller ones. And every day I’m struggling with the decision. Do I

a) let them overlap, which looks good but is a damn hassle to get undone for sleeping

b) have them separate and kinda crinkle them so they only cover one half of the bed, which looks ridiculously bad

c) some third option my simple mind could not come up with?
