  • I’ve actually been bumped by lots of wasps and bees in rather funny ways, thankfully with no sting. They are more likely to be aggressive the closer you are to their hive. Otherwise the foragers usually try to avoid confrontation unless challenged.

    The most insane one was definitely when I was hanging around a sunflower field where there were hundreds of bees and hornets flying around, but to them I was just another plant with no nectar, so they would just move on.

    The other funny one was when I was eating an apple and like 5 bees landed on it while I was biting down on it because apparently they liked the smell and tasted the sugary apple juice on the surface. They seemed unbothered by the fact it was moving around and me not trying to push my luck begrudgingly let them have the rest of the half eaten apple lol.

    That was probably inspired by the USA’s crappy national curriculum system of forcing kids to learn and use the lattice method which is 100% some sort of scam to make it look like math illiterate children are passing class and failing upwards.

    I mean seriously, we’ve been using base 10 arab system for a millenia, but you’re trying to tell me the department of education came up with a better method of drawing a damn chi square matrix abomination that makes even the two millenia old roman numeral system look good in comparison.



  • It feels weird that Iran, a rather large country, is incapable of defending its airspace against aistrikes from Israel, which doesn’t even border Iran.

    Coming from the India-Pakistan BVR dogfight where we saw hundreds of fighters, drones, s2a missile batteries, complete AWACS and EW platforms, and some IAF planes shot down at ranges exceeding 150km, it’s jarring seeing just how non functional Iran’s airforce and air defense is against a modern threat.

    I don’t think they’re even capable of properly replicating the AIM-54, which is now an outdated LRAAM platform.

    Edit: realized you meant in the sense of hot swapping flavors after I typed out a whole explanation lol. Should start recommending niche distros and collect package managers like trading cards lol.

    yum = dnf, dnf is just the newer version which was rewritten several times.

    apt is a weird attempt to “upgrade” apt-get with better user interface without messing with the compatibility of apt-get used by scripts and whatnot.

    Both of these are dependency handling package managers which do all the magic of installing required subpackges when you want something.

    rpm is the underlying system package manager which deals with the actual task of installing, removing, and generating packages in the .rpm format. It is analogous to Debian’s dpkg which uses the .deb format. It’s usually not used by the end user unless you need to play with a package directly like with a .rpm or .deb file.

    Hence why some distros (or people) have their own dependency package manager, like zypper on OpenSUSE (rpm) or Aptitude on Debian (deb).

    Although I think Aptitude might just be a fancy wrapper for apt lol.
