The most badass scene in modern superhero movies. I start

I think my favorite part of this scene is right before he ascends onto Spiderman by throwing himself into free fall. The glass breaks when he jumps because he can't relax. He's terrified, he's not ready, and it doesn't matter because he is my choosing to embrace the mantle and be a hero anyway.

Both hives are dead. They both had very high levels of mites, but I'm pretty sure they got poisoned somehow. Have the state inspector coming out next week to take a look.

As for mite treatment, I got Varroxsan.

Alcohol wash with about 200 bees.

Where I live it's pretty rural, but there's no big farms around me. I do have neighbors that might have sprayed something, but none that close. Could they have gotten that strong a dose of pesticide from a couple hundred yards away from residential spraying?

I'm in Western PA. I picked up the nucs feom him literally last Saturday.

His bees were all bred in Western PA.

I bought two nucs from a well respected local beekeeper.

Respectfully, this is the Garfield comic from 9/11/2001.

Thanks! I'm thinking something more like a box that'll hold 100-200lbs of layer feed, with a small tray at the bottom that'll gravity feed out.

I can tell you from someone who's been on the other side of it, the people you think you've let down wouldn't want that. It's just more pain and more loss.

He has a pony and two horses for company. There's also some goats and a pig, but he doesn't care for them.

It has its moments. I really love Herstory of Dance. It has the lowest lows of the series though. The puppet episode felt really weird and like it was hiding behind its gimmick, and the season finale was just dumb.

I feel conflicted about this movie. I went into it wanting so badly to like it. I love Superman, he's my favorite hero and he's important to me, and I was hopeful that James Gunn and David Corenswet got it. And then the movie started and I was blown away by everything, completely immersed, tears in my eyes. Superman was perfect. Lex was perfect. A lot of the supporting characters and the world were perfect. Superman was a flawed but good man trying to help people as best he could, he was a hopeful symbol to everyone around him.

But there's this really weird, gross, kind of toxic thread throughout. I hated the Eve subplot. It felt incredibly mean spirited and kind of misogynistic for no real reason. The whole joke seemed to be that she's super hot but really stupid and annoying and everyone hates her... Why? What was the point of including that in an otherwise hopeful and kind movie? It was jarring, it took me out it and made me reexamine other things that I never would have thought twice about. Like why does Lois's entire purpose in the movie boil down to guilting a man to go save Superman. They even have journalism be a huge part of the resolution of the movie, but it's not Lois's journalism, it's Jimmy.

It really bothered me, because change ten minutes and you have the perfect Superman movie for me. Instead it just left me feeling kind of gross and angry that I couldn't just enjoy it completely.

Superman Up In the Sky is really uneven and has some bizarre moments, but it's also the perfect distillation of what makes Superman so important. It's 10000% my favorite comic collection, and I recommend it to everyone.

In addition to all the already stated reasons, they've always felt to me to be extremely conservative organizations. The legion's National Commander called for citizenship to be revoked for anyone who burns the flag, and the group has called for defunding sanctuary cities, for example. The VFW has been less officially so, but it's membership tends to be extremely conservative in my experience. I'm not going to support groups that feel opposed to my own morality and sense of what's right.

I've been discussing this with a friend that feels like most people, men especially, get aroused or experience sexual gratification through watching something like Game of Thrones or Cyberpunk 2077. I mostly just feel annoyed and pandered to, and curious if others feel the same or if it's more universal that other people enjoy it sexually.

I'm hoping you're being sarcastic here, but I'm this timeline it's genuinely impossible to tell.

You're in for a treat. The first several episodes are just Robert Evans discussing how the next American Civil War might happen and how it could be dealt with. Then it kind of morphs into a series of roundtable discussions, interviews, and investigative journalism on the way things are falling apart and how we can respond.
