re: Red paper wasp discussion

Posted by LegendInMyMind on 4/29/25 at 11:14 pm

You need to get yourself some of these moths.

Sooty-winged Chalcoela Moth

They parasitise paper wasp nests. They fly in under the cover of darkness, land on the nests, and deposit their eggs in the cells. Their eggs hatch and the larvae feed on the wasp larvae.

This one was on my porch last Summer.

I believe they eat a lot of lawn pests.

They do. They feel larvae mostly small caterpillars and worms as well as nectar. They don't provision nests like other species of wasps, but feed the larvae directly. We would have a hard time living without wasps. They (all wasp species collectively) catch a massive amount of caterpillars and worms that feed on pretty much everything.

They're also okay pollinators.

Sure, if you approach everything through that lens you can build great and/or terrible conspiratorial worlds in your mind.

re: Crypto bros., why isn't Bitcoin more widely used?

Posted by LegendInMyMind on 4/29/25 at 4:45 pm

If you have to work as hard to explain a currency to people as you do with bitcoin (and all crypto in general) it will be hard to get people to trust it. The fact that you can have nothing tangible to prove value is another big knock to overall trust.

The perception of tangible currency is deeply ingrained in our psyche back to the times when we traded rocks and beads.

I have the 40volt Husqvarna. It works great, but if you have a lot to keep up you will have to charge before the job is done. I'd like the one I have a lot better if I could swap the head to an easy wind head. The manual and everything says not to, but I may just try one day.

Yeah, I don't bother them usually. I just let them go on their own because if they musk it can be a terrible smell. When this one made it's way into the birdhouse I took the opportunity to move house and all out under a tree. It was gone in the morning.

Meanwhile, on the surface, the government can spend 100 billion dollars over the course of a decade or so and can't even get a mile of rail built or a single train ran. Yet, they're doing this?

The withdrawal was a clusterfrick of epic proportions. That is not debatable.

We were pulling out of Afghanistan regardless. The Afghan forces that we sank billions of dollars in training and equipment into were going to collapse regardless. As soon as we stopped holding their hand there was never a doubt in how it would go.

We should have maintained control of Bagram throughout the withdrawal and destroyed anything we couldn't take with us.
