Yet another refugee who washed up on the shore after the great Reddit disaster of 2023

It just seems so moronic. That’s getting up to a temperature where your body can’t cool down enough and it’s going to be fatal with prolonged exposure.

10 is late for most of them - 9 is pretty common. If you’re at the kind of vacation place where you’re hanging out and relaxing, maybe staying up late, waking up at 8 so you can get ready and get down to eat breakfast, doesn’t feel like last relaxing, which is OP’s point. Of course people can do it, but a lot of times we want to sleep in on vacation.

The margin of older voters who voted for Trump in the last election wasn’t that big. People think the vast majority of boomers are conservatives, but it’s just a slight majority. Similarly, only a slight majority of younger voters voted for Biden.

Yeah, I’m not sure what OP is thinking. It’s like thinking it’s an unpopular opinion that pepperoni pizza is best. Sure, there are people who disagree, but regular potato chips is by far the most popular, it’s in no way an unpopular opinion.

I’ve never had a migraine headache, but my wife gets them like three or four times a year, usually pieces by a visual aura (and sometimes if she just goes into a dark, quiet room, she only gets the aura). She always described it as an “electric caterpillar” crawling from the side. I was glad she had told me about it in detail because several years ago I got one, and that’s the only reason I knew what was happening. Mine wasn’t as colorful as what she described, but otherwise the same.

Here’s a short video simulating one, and it’s very similar to my experience (and, apparently, hers).

It’s that another name for Aegosoma scabricorne?

For sure could be. They don’t leave their stingers, they hurt like hell, and they’re complete assholes.

When the stinger comes out, it’s basically the whole back end of the bee. It’s kind of fiendish: the venom sack and a little muscle are in the very end of their butt. The stinger has a barb, so when they stick it in you, and you brush them off, the whole assembly rips off the bee and the muscle keeps pumping the venom into you. The bee dies.

So it’s very obvious if the stinger came off.

Evolution (natural selection) doesn’t work that way though. That would only work if either people started only having kids with shorter people, or those stresses you’re taking about caused people to die before having kids, which I didn’t think is happening.
