Honey Bee usually refers to one species of bee that has been domesticated, or perhaps a genera (Apis) of bee, all native to Afro-EuroAsia. There's lots of other species/genera of bees that are native to N. America, bumble bees, mason bees etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
It take time to grow a colony from a single queen, which was part of the reason there has been a shortage of hives for rent around here.
Then there the problems with the native bees, which are also very important, both for crops and native plants.
Reread the summary, they're only talking about domestic honey bees and they're basically breeding them quicker then they die.
More important are the native bees. They work when it is colder and have other advantages and are very important for pollination.
That's kind of surprising. I'd have thought Franklin would have done what the Lazer did, license Applesoft from Microsoft. I could see slight variations in the monitor and IO space and perhaps timing.
I had a II+ clone, a Cherry or something. It was very compatible except for some Apple programs that looked in the ROM for the APPLE II+ that was displayed on boot, easy to fix by changing a branch instruction.
That was a lot of the learning, getting various dialects of programs to run and often just getting the program in the magazine to run as the program listings always seemed to have typos and worse.
I had a TransWarp card (3.3Mhz 65C02 + 256 KB of fast ram) in my II+ clone, with some simple hex patching, UCSD Pascal thought it was a
Also had a MS Z80 card and eventually moved to Turbo Pascal, and yes, it was fast, both compiling, and running as it compiled into Z80 object code instead of P-Code. Wasn't hard to call 6502 code from the Z80 as well.
True, sometimes the leading leader of warming is methane, which takes a while to turn into more mild CO2
You can test your cloud theory at night, does it stay warmer on a cloudy night or a clear night? Water vapour is actually the biggest green house gas on the Earth, remove the water vapour and temps will be 20C or so colder (might be mis-remembering the actual number)
For plants, CO2 is like sugar for humans, sure it causes more growth, but not good health. Humans get fat, plants get leggy. Both flourish with a balanced diet of different nutrients. People, a combination of proteins, fats, sugars and various micro-nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Plants, CO2, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and various micro-nutrients, from calcium through iron and other minerals. Both people and plants also need oxygen as well.
The fires are killing them. And I don't mean just the burning, the Canadian fires last year resulted in a world wide forest reduction of a few percent.

And this year is looking worse for fires judging by the lack of snow pack.
Plants love CO2 like people love sugar, and the affects are similar. Yes, more growth, along with less health.
Now, if you can increase the other vital nutrients, that increase in size might not be so bad. Unluckily, increasing CO2 also has a habit of increasing acidity, which interferes with nutrient take up depending on soil.
The first constraint on a democracy is the existence of a republic. There's going to be many definitions on what it means to have a republic but most people have an idea on what it means versus a pure democracy. In a republic we can't have a majority rule to restrict the rights of others, everyone is held to the same standards on some fundamental rights.
Surely you're not that stupid. Many republics are dictatorships, perhaps you see the Peoples Republic of China as something to strive for.
Generally, the best countries, as in a happy citizens, are constitutional monarchies. The Nordic countries, Belgium and the Netherlands, much of the Commonwealth of nations are all examples of countries with quite a bit of freedoms, that are not republics. There are a few republics that have done well, and many that lean into fascism or other authoritarian/totalitarian forms of government.
The comment I answered said,
The doctor should advise and guide, but if a person wants what want, and are not using it to harm anyone else, AND are willing to pay for it, insurance shouldn't suffer the burden, then they should be able to take what they want for their own good.
No mention of ivermectin, just drugs, some of which, such as antibiotics should be used with restraint and not to treat a cold.
So it is Fascist to try to avoid antibiotic resistance to save life's?
The world spent an estimated $7 trillion subsidizing the production and consumption of fossil fuels in 2022, according to a recent report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
What an utterly meaningless number.
Most of these subsidies take the form of below-market prices, tax breaks, and other incentives provided to fossil fuel producers and consumers by governments around the world.
Please define these tax breaks, and make sure to explain how those tax-breaks are different from every other industry that enjoys similar tax-breaks.
The subsidies artificially lower prices for fossil fuels, distorting energy markets in a way that favors carbon-intensive energy sources over renewable alternatives.
These "subsidies" are pure fantasy, there are no "subsidy" checks written by any of the world governments that allow fossil fuel companies to lower prices.
What subsidy makes exploration more affordable?
What subsidy makes drilling rigs cheaper?
What subsidy makes pipelines cheaper?
What subsidy make oil tankers cheaper?
What subsidy makes refineries cheaper?
The ONLY way governments make fossil fuel cheaper is by releasing millions of barrels of crude oil into the market for months on end to alter the supply/demand dynamic in the international oil market to influence upcoming elections.
Canadian here. The Federal government just spent C$38 billion on a pipeline, that's a thousand dollars per Canadian, so that we can deliver cheap oil down the coast to America. In Alberta, they don't make the oil companies cleanup their mess, things like old wells. Eventually the tax payers will be stuck with the bill, perhaps C$100 billion, though the Alberta government claims only $33 billion. Many an oil company also refuses to pay their municipal property taxes, somewhere C$245 million is owed, the Provincial government doesn't care.
Won't go into the mess in the north from the bitumen mines and polluted water, which I assume the oil companies will default on cleaning up.

True, though whether America would have concentrated on the Japanese without the declaration of war from Germany, I don't know.
Also has to be roughly the same punishment. Canada won't extradite a murderer without assurances of no death penalty as one example.
Somebody ought to cross ball point pens with coat hangers so that the pens will multiply instead of disappear.
