Of course German has a word for it! I did some bee research a long while back and we used to stick a tiny bit of numbered card on bees to track them. That has a German word as well, something like opalithplatchen.
What kind of language has a separate word for a tiny bit of numbered card that you stick on a bee?

My old neighbour had one of those kebab shop bug zapper lights which she hung outside and ran all day and all night. I couldn’t sit out because the sound of insects being disassembled was too much for me to cope with.

- Comment on The 10 worst science fiction movies of all time 3 months ago:
The fourth item on the list, they’re referring to a film that doesn’t actually exist, never has and never will exist.
The Highlander series went straight from 1 to 3 due to a historical accident.

Another vote for the Bastion soundtrack by Darren Korb.

Been playing Slice and Dice mainly, simple and fits into everything else that’s going on in life. This week I beat it on hard mode, just the once but that’s more than ever before!

That was incredible! Just back from getting up on the hills in Hertfordshire and the reds and green aurora visible to the naked eye were stunning.
Never thought I would see that in this country.

Off topic but It’s always interesting to me how people always used to wear hats, and now seldom do. What happened to discourage daily hat usage?

I felt that it was true to the actual contest, when I saw that everyone else had taken it a good deal more seriously.
- Comment on Proof shrinkflation is real 7 months ago:
Fake news. This is a fossil chip that these men dug up. Chips back in the Doracic era could grow much bigger due to the higher oxygen content of the air at the time.

At last, a greentext that doesn’t seem to be made up for internet kudos.
- Comment on No excuse for shoplifting because UK's benefits system is very generous, policing minister says 10 months ago:
I think you’ve mixed weeks and months in your calculations. £80 a week, £320 a month. Bills at £250 in the month leaves £70 to live on for the month

Mostly Wildermyth, it’s a gentle but compelling story driven/generating RPG that occupies those few half hours I have for gaming!
