    A New Tinder (for me)

    I hope they survived this drought. Proper made me tear up now. It is the most wonderful and saddest thing I’ve ever read.

    A New Tinder (for me)

    Did you know the odds to be born on this Earth's one in four hundred trillion? I conquered those odds, yet I can't conquer leaving this house I eat, sleep, scroll, and work, but there has to be more than just merely existing In fact, I was thinking there's not enough wine in the fridge to...

    Whittling knife recommendations

    I found one of these when I was back home. And the blade locks so it is safer for carving as well.

    Cats

    I am not going to a cat protection place again. That was not a good experience. I will start from scratch with a kitten. But I am going to wait until the Summer holidays next year so that I have loads of free time with it more at the beginning for bonding and training.

    Well there have been a lot of happenings on here that I can’t unsee now. So I’m just going to paste these facts down.

    This is 100% they’re cut loose and out to survive as long as they can against all odds.

    A New Tinder (for me)

    The only way to deal with that is for a wasp biologist to come into the street and show how cool they are. I know that flies are cool and necessary as well but I get right mad if they land on me and my food constantly.

    A New Tinder (for me)

    Hi Toddy. It is a bit old and repetitious information that’s not been updated. Like T rex lip info and Nanotyrannus etc. At this time. Nests are shutting down and new queens and all the grubs are achieving adulthood and they are stocking up for overwintering to be ready for establishing new...

    Could you tell me more about that please. Has it always been bad or has it gotten worse. How many times have you been stung and what species. If you know. And you seem like someone that does or has a good idea.

    A New Tinder (for me)

    Wow dad. You’re on a right rant tonight aren’t you. I’d got lots to say. But you kinda said it all now and made me pointless. I’ll stick up for you in the snake rant threads. My generation sucks. That Greta goober says how dare you to all the old people. But her and my generation care even...

    A New Tinder (for me)

    Nooooooooooo! Queens and drones can sometimes overwinter in these. Wasps are friends. They eat midges, mozzies and flies. Yes they are annoying in your drink. But ignore them and if they go in and swim just lift them out with your finger. You won’t get stung. Or a leaf. Wasps pollinate...

    Consultation on the new GCSE in Natural History

    We have done it. Please. I encourage anyone here with any interest in natural history. And that should be the right lot of you. Have your say. Because this really is a dying subject. Despite all the goobers my age screaming green green green.

    Rabbit entrails - who's the culprit?

    Ooooo that was very fun. It is one of my favourite things investigating things like this.
