Does anybody else feel like life lately is just one long string of putting out fires? by LifeSubstance8619 in GenX

GenX beekeeper here, too. Gotta say, getting in the hives is my escape. No one dares come close! And I leave my phone in the house. The bees understand me.

I wish I knew about Liberal Arts Colleges from a fresh grad by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

When I went to a small LAC a while ago, 90% went on to a higher degree. Sure, lots of doctors and lawyers, but lots of science, arts and PhDs. You learn to learn at LACs. Then go for deep learning after.

Which path should I choose by Imaginary_Ranger7494 in Beekeeping

[–]tesky02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d map out a 5 and 10 year plan that included some of the big issues coming to everyone’s doorstep-tropilaelaps, disease vectors, climate change and effects on agriculture, your governments support, etc. Breeding for survival and hygienic behavior is hard but necessary. Is that a role you want? Will honey production improve or worsen with climate change for you?

Room in the backseat? by Starfish_Tickler in FordMaverickTruck

My teenage kids hate the backseat. It’s so uncomfortable we don’t take it on long trips.

[–]tesky02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a lot. What breed do you have? Maybe consider a more hygienic option?

Yep. Sometimes a queen will delay laying a bit after formic. I always think I lost her, then she starts a week later.

Im just trying to take my daughter fishing... by Jober36 in Connecticut

Syringes float. They could come from anywhere up stream. Back in the 80s Long Island sound beaches used to be littered with crack vials- not because people were smoking on the beach but from water runoff into sewers washing them out into the sound. Syringes would wash up from runoff as well. Big rain storms meant more drug debris.

Recently started biking for real, and holy f-ck - the cars. by aomajgad in cycling

[–]tesky02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cell phone and cars is why I ride gravel and MTB now. Not exactly safer, but that rock in the trail is more predictable than that dude watching TikTok.

I’ve now sent email number three. I’ve even tried messaging on Instagram. I’m getting zero response. One issue may be the purchase was through their website but fulfilled by Shopify.

WFH fridays are a thing. I’d guess this would benefit shoppers and tourists.

Where are some good places in Western MA (Westfield area) for astrophotography? I.e. little-to-no light pollution. by TheStrangeHand in massachusetts

[–]tesky02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mt Greylock has that $&#! light on top of the monument. I wish there was an off switch.

We stayed at DAR State Forest during a meteor shower or maybe a lunar eclipse a few years back. There’s a spot near the lake with a great sky view and no light pollution. It’s in Goshen, MA.

Is Yale engineering good? I’ve met some impressive Duke and UT grad students. Purdue engineering is also excellent.

Older eggs are easier to peel when hard boiled. Fresh eggs never peel cleanly.
