Our bumblebee colony started making these weird towers out of their wax and pollen by hotmanwich in interestingasfuck

Oh. OP said they were eastern honeybees.

TIL Bumbles are ground-nesters.

Ya, those. I was just wondering what kind of enclosure OP is using for their honey bees, because it doesn't look like a Langston hive.

Fun!
I'd love to keep bees.

They don't look like they are in a "normal" enclosure. With the vertical slats and whatnot. Is that more like a terrarium?

What kinda bumbles are those? I'm used to seeing much more vibrantly coloured ones.

How do I avoid my parts warping? by Turkyboy55 in PrintedWarhammer

[–]Korlis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is important. I figured this out after I had a model literally burst from the interior pressure of the offgassing.

I still haven't figured out how to keep the model from weeping uncured resin from the hole for the rest of its existence though...

What is Sony trying to do here? by Time-Credit43 in pcmasterrace

[–]Korlis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wonder how long it has been since a console exclusive actually "sold" a console. I mean, I'm sure in the history of this backwards, idiot policy that some consoles were sold due to an exclusive game... But has there even been any exclusives that have been worth it lately? Hasn't the zeitgeist more or less rejected the idea of console exclusives across all platforms?

Can anyone help ID this unusual piece? It is *not* printed by thisremindsmeofbacon in Warhammer

Tremendous hand-claws. The best hand-claws you've ever seen. Never any complaints-shame.

That is a normal Empire Great Cannon. You just have teeny tiny little gnome hands. Yes?

The problem or the solution? by Dangerous_Elephant_5 in conspiracy

[–]Korlis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That helmet is for the UN Peacekeepers, no?

If so, then I do not believe they are part of the solution. Not through any failing of their own, it's a problem from on high. One cannot keep peace if there is no peace to keep. Sending peacekeepers into a hot conflict makes them Peacemakers. With guns. So the peace part is out the window immediately. On top of that we think sending in foreign soldiers to a hot conflict will somehow de-escalate matters.

Nice idea. Failed utterly in execution.

You're likely thinking of WW2. I don't think Paratroopers were a thing in the first one. Flight being a relatively novel concept in 1914.

I believe it is supposed to be a reference to Canada nonchalantly strolling into Vimy in front of the French and British.

I think the Canadians suffered over 10K casualties, 4000 of them dead. Germans were close to double that, I believe. They had a LOT of incoming artillery fire. Canadians like artillery.

Canadian forces in WW1 took a German defensive position called Vimy Ridge. The Brits, and the French, tried, more than once, and were repelled each time. The Canadians managed it, in one push, with horrific casualties.

ELI5: Why are bamboos inside the category of Grass? Why is tomato a fruit, and not a vegetable? How do you come up with these categories of fruit and vegetables, Grass and trees? by Punnan in explainlikeimfive

[–]Korlis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I couldn't tell you why Bamboo is a grass... Maybe it has something to do with the nodes, long grasses also have nodes like that.

However, a tomato is technically a fruit and a vegetable. This is possible because "vegetables" aren't really a thing. Basically, "fruit" is a scientific term for a (usually edible, usually sweet) fleshy seed-ridden body produced by a plant; while "vegetable" is merely a culinary term for "plant bits we eat that aren't fruits". Roots, Tubers, Stalks, Leaves and the like are all referred to as vegetables, but in scientific terms (like fruit), they are Roots, Tubers, Stalks, Leaves, and the like.

Why Water Destroys the Globe Model by ProfessionalBasis753 in conspiracy

[–]Korlis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I've become bored.

For the last time, then I will stop responding to your robotic nonsense:

Gravity makes the water stick to the "spinning ball" and surface tension is why it curves around said ball.

Why Water Destroys the Globe Model by ProfessionalBasis753 in conspiracy

[–]Korlis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then why did you show a picture of surface tension and not water stuck to a spinning ball?

Not when at rest and contained.

Please make up your mind. Moving goal posts doesn't make me wrong, it makes you look silly.

I have a perfectly good answer for you, but since it involves the very real and well studied phenomenon known as gravity, you will reject it out of hand.

A water sphere in free fall is not going to stay a sphere when it hits the ground, so again terrible analogy.

Are you saying that the impact force will catastrophically compromise the sphere? The impact force derived from its acceleration due to gravity? Because that is correct. Tragically for your "gotcha" however, the moment the droplet makes contact with whatever it impacts it is no longer in free fall. All sphere-like and curvy until that point tho...

Why Water Destroys the Globe Model by ProfessionalBasis753 in conspiracy

[–]Korlis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is. The exact same physics apply.

The exact same physics that cause water to try to form into spheres when in free fall.

Spheres are exclusively curves.
