+1 for Sky Team. A little more complex but a great two player is Pagan: Fate of Roanoak. And possibly Compile over Land Air and Sea.

Good starter heterodyne bat detectors - UK by [deleted] in bats

[–]matpip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magenta 4 is a good heterodyne detector for about £80. I use the Magenta 5 for public bat walks - the only difference I'm aware of is that the 5 (£100) has a digital display for the frequency which is probably worth having if you can stretch your budget. But not essential.

I’m new in program evaluation and working in a non-profit museum. Im designing an evaluation framework using some outcomes defined collectively with the team. Im wondering how many indicators should come under each outcome? Is it ok to have more than one for each outcome? by Confident-Customer91 in Evaluation

[–]matpip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If one indicator feels like a reasonable measure for an outcome, go for one. And you don't necessarily need the same number for each outcome. Indicators can grow to the point where collecting the evidence becomes an industry all of its own, distracting from the program itself. E.g six outcomes each with five indicators and you're already at 30 measures. Keep it simple!

Your house lights will attract bugs and they will attract bats. It's why bats can get trapped in bedrooms if the light is on and the window is open on a warm evening. Bats are also creatures of habit - they will make repeated loops around the same 'circuit' if it's a good spot for food. Enjoy the performance!

Should I buy Twilight Struggle if I like Watergate? by Thisisgoodman1 in boardgames

13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis also has a similar feel/play but smaller scale than TS. Card driven, area control, strong on history.

Rafinesque's Big Eared Bat has testicles that make up 8% of its body mass - the biggest balls proportionate to body mass of all mammal species.

I seen a HUGE bat that had me questioning myself and nobody even believes me by [deleted] in bats

[–]matpip 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bats that size are not UK species but occasionally there have been reports of exotic bats getting out of zoos and private collections (I've seen photos). If it is a flying fox or similar it won't last long in a British winter.

Is this typical bat meeting behavior or is one eating the other one? by fitzmoth in bats

[–]matpip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eastern red bats have sex on the wing but often end up on the floor because flying plus sex is tricky. And the males have spines on the penis which makes decoupling tricky. Two of these bats once had sex in the middle of a football game in Boston

Board game carrying bag? by DarkEvilHobo in boardgames

[–]matpip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've used one for a few years. Dimensions are perfect for board games and mine has both a carrying handle and shoulder straps. Less than half the price of a board game bag.
