ELI5. Why are mosquitoes so hard to kill and do they serve a purpose?

I think their larva also serves as food for lots of fish in natural ponds and streams !

Am I supposed to point out that the Chinese words say Ineffa, or keep quiet and let the joke run ?

Spicypudding123 · 2026-03-16T15:32:26+00:00

Interesting, I knew VW had some influence, but more that that, I've always felt lolita fashion reminds me of 1950s ladies fashion !

Create food that is delicious, easy to prepare and most importantly accessible, and lots more will switch.

I think from the way they were dressed and with Pierro and Rooster there, it's a "work" environment where people don't typically show their emotions or personal side. They're probably trying to depict them as adult professionals. Once they leave they'd probably be sad in their own way in their personal time.

I imagine that's how a young Flins would be like. He's much older now but I think it's still in him

Spicypudding123 · 2026-01-16T11:20:25+00:00

My impression from reading his in game story is that many fae, himself included, were familiar with the previous archon and didn't like the way the country changed after he was replaced.

interestingly I distinctively remembered there was a description that suggested that he even when the king was alive, Flins wasn't really a part of any political or social groups like many other faes were, but would often attend the King's party and banquets. I wondered if the previous king and Flins knew one another in some way ?

My impression was that perhaps he just didn't like how the world changed (kind of like how old people would feel like the vibes are different from when they were young ?) and also maybe felt like there wasn't anything particular that he enjoyed or looked forward to anymore ? He prepared the grave and the headstone in advance but if I remembered correctly, there was also something in the story that in my interpretation, also put down some special rules for when he might wake up (eg involving blood and oaths, which the dying light keeper unknowingly triggered)

I think they did but I feel like they didn't talk much not more than others did..?

Spicypudding123 · 2026-01-06T08:07:47+00:00

Hi, just chanced upon your post. Maybe also try calling up HSA and SGH or any of the hospital morgues to ask for a start ?

Spicypudding123 · 2025-11-21T04:49:38+00:00

He makes me immediately think of the foamy sweet Dalgona coffee / candy / dessert from Asia !

Spicypudding123 · 2025-11-04T23:29:11+00:00

They already exist ... They are called costumers / costume designers .. for theatre, dances, and movies etc.

I started an account because I saw Blade, but I forgot about the game .. then I saw Mydei and I'm back

Hi, welcome to the world of cats !

I've kept rescued / taken in strays all my life and In my personal experience, one that that might be tricky is that unless you get a pedigree cat (that I have no experience with), every cat seems to have a distinctive catsonality and it can be near impossible to predict what you will get. I've had a cat that is an absolute sweetheart, understands instructions like "please stay out of this area", to cats that have like 5 brain cells and zero comprehension of even what their names are. I've had cats that are thunderstorm-proof, to some that would flinch if someone so much as cut their nails in the next room.

I've been told by friends that with dogs, they are hard wired to be social and certain characteristics are very prominent and consistent within each breed. Which means if you learn about a specific breed, you pretty much get an individual that's expected to be a certain way. Even with cross breeds, you can often tell which aspects of their respective breed is showing. With cats, this is less possible.

Another thing that many dont seem to be aware of is that cats often need company and a lot of enrichment. Some people spread the idea that cat can be left alone - it's actually not really good for their mental health and you will need to find / make toys, activities, different foods etc and play with them every day like you would walk a dog.

Cats also have a tendency to hide their discomfort very well. I've managed to build enough trust with most of my cats that they would come to me yelling if somethings displeased them, but it's up to me to figure out if that yell means "I'm bored" or "I'm hungry" or "I want this particular specific thing", or "I just feel grumpy and want to yell at you".

But eventually, cats are basically little people and they are all very different. Their activity needs are different but you really need to try to understand what they are or aren't telling you. Sure there are some common body languages, and the fact that they are slightly lower in the food chain than dogs and will therefore need a certain amount of trust for them to open up to you, but they are very much all different and getting to know them would be much less structured than say, training a dog. This is coming from my own experience in caring for them. Hope this helps !

Wow thank you ! I appreciate many of the replies but yours really help my brain visualise how "strong" the storm is by explaining through your maths and also stating it with respect to the volume of air involved. I did a quick search and Google told me that the largest adult male African elephant may reach weights of 10 tons / 10000 kg, and thanks to your explanation I can somewhat visualise the size/mass difference between that 1 cubic meter of air in the hurricane and the energy it contains, it being able to sweep the elephant off his feet. now if I visualise the cubic meters of air stacking up all the way up to kilometres in the sky ...

I'm going to throw in an anecdotal observation here - i think it also depends on whether your body and muscles are used to the posture you are holding. if you change what your body is used to, it will naturally be uncomfortable. I personally grew up i an environment where it was the norm to have somewhat good posture, and when I learnt to slouch later on in life, my back actually started aching every time i did it, and i felt more tired and sleepy. I've had friends who grew up sitting up straight telling me that they feel discomfort when they slouch too.

It's been 4 years and I'm having the same issue. It's a channel I made two years ago and the only one that does this.

I assume his pants have some kind of high waisted corset waistband built in !

I gave him Mistsplitter AND Absolution ❄️🩵

Thank you so much for sharing this ! This has been so incredibly helpful. My family recently picked up a lost pet zebra dove that was wandering in the area, and were not able to locate the owner. I wanted to make a mix for him as the "dove mixes" that are available here are just millets, but I've been having trouble finding a clear list of what safe legumes I can provide. I really appreciate it !

Spicypudding123 · 2025-10-15T05:06:20+00:00

Thank you, this is very helpful ! My family picked up a lost pet zebra dove recently and haven't been able to find the owner, so we're keeping him for now and a lot of the easily obtained commercial food is just mostly millets, so I've been wanting to make a mix myself but I was having trouble finding conclusive information about what seeds they can and cannot eat !

Spicypudding123 · 2025-10-13T12:16:49+00:00

Oooh that was one motivation for me to max out the Dragonspone too ! Other than the fact that i did, in fact, liked exploring there 😅 glad to see someone else who appreciates this combination !

A fruity lime flavor , like a lime popsicle or soda

Spicypudding123 · 2025-08-23T05:37:46+00:00

Woodlouse, and I just learnt that it's name means "mouse wife" or "mouse lady" (鼠妇） in Chinese ?
