The insect glue, produced from edible oils, was inspired by plants such as sundews that use the strategy to capture their prey. A key advantage of physical pesticides over toxic pesticides is that pests are highly unlikely to evolve resistance, as this would require them to develop much larger and stronger bodies, while bigger...
Insect body size is dictated by oxygen levels, and since they absorb oxygen through their skin if they get too large with too little oxygen they suffocate.
You are thinking of sea scorpions who for one werent scorpions and for two were aquatic in nature only going onto the pre carboniferous land as a shortcut since there was nothing on land.
The South can always be burned to ground again. The South is barely able to maintain its own existence. If another pathetic rebellion like the one my ancestors participated in comes again I will happily gun down my own ilk, kith, and kin to maintain the tree of liberty. For it feeds on blood.
The kacka one aint too suprising since roaches are shit, abd also kacka is also an archaic way to say shit or poop. Though funnily enough its probably more commonly used in English.
I drive a 91 Cherokee and I defend myself because I like Jeeps and cherokees are easy to work on. I would kill for an old 70s military Jeep truck though, hell id commit genocide for one of those old boxed Willy Jeeps they find in the gods forsaken deep storage of places like the Sierra Army Depot.
Also the fact that its a waste of resources, the ones here in California are already rusting up worse than some cars that have been sitting since the mid 90s. Seriously I see one over by Joshua tree (technically morango valley) sometimes and over the last month the rust has been creeping up its side. I suspect ones in places like Maine will be rust stains sooner rather than later.
Rebuild one, the few that are still in the boxes are given to museums not psychotic Rednecks. On more realistic levels though I think it'd be neat to get an old willy Jeep body and convert it to electric, theyre light enough that a squad of men can pick them up so I figure they may actually lose weight without an engine depending on the battery type.
Because the Democrats are the big tent party. Republicans are backed by a bunch of idiots, WASPS, and single issue voters. The Democrats have entire core elements that vary by state and region, from urban progressive whites to rural socially conservative minorities sith both groups only agreeing on economics for example.
The fact is up until recently the Democrats have had to juggle even more groups that have fallen off, for example in my area there is an Iranian minority that used to back the Democrats but have turned to the Republicans because of LGBTQ issues, because they are a bigoted bunch of weaklings.
The point is that the Dems have been fighting themselves as much as the Republicans, which has hindered them quite a lot. The reason for the increased effectiveness in recent times is due to some demographics shrinking, disappearing, or otherwise realigning with more of the national average. Also the Republicans got a helluva lot worse.

Id argue its a story of both pragmatism and intellect. Basically a dumb man will take out their own eye to blind their enemy, a pragmatic man will help himself and his enemy, and a smart man will figue out how to help himself and hurt his enemy.

You can point out that someone fucked up and incited the initial incident while still acknowledging that the response was overblown. If someone breaks into my house and I kill them thats one thing, if I instead lock them in a shed and torture them for a month they are still a victim while also initially putting themselves into the situation. Ones a fuck around find out scenario the other is disproportionate insanity.
I have blocked so many right wing channels that my de facto suggestions after watching political shit is Zach gun rants, Arma ops, and Animarchy or one of the other NAFO associates. Its fucken great.
As a 24 year old who spent way too much time watching 90s reruns, Seinfeld was just kinda meh. 3rd rock and married with children were better IMO, also the married with children lingerie scene was my sexual awakening.
Where im from ive never heard of that, entree is usually a starter snack to hold you over till the food is done. But this could also be a regional thing still.
Hmm maybe this is a weird area where my part of SoCal reverted then, we do have a pretty big European immagrant population to this day. Lots of Germans and Nordics for some reason.
The judge is a Trump appointee.. I'll also note that he's in Texas, where the rules against judge-shopping aren't being applied, so the suit was likely filed with advance knowledge that he'd be hearing it.

Crapshoot, wisdom is aquired via both length of experience and breadth of experience. There is no way to objectively measure either, though id probably trust the wisdom of a 15 year old who fucks up constantly over that of some 70 year old yuppie who hasnt done anything stupid since the 70s.
Ya know if I was as evil as him id openly embrace it. But this "stop saying mean thing about me" schtick is rather weak and pathetic. I hope his car has a critical engine malfunction and fires a piston through him.
So long as they are grid based and not using batteries I will agree. The incessant want to shove fucking batteries into everything is real stupid sometimes.
Thats the Gladiator or Overcompensator as I call it. Unless youre talking about one of the real old pick ups the Cherokee sport and Wagoneer bodies are based off of.

Even if the Arctic melts im pretty sure Svaldbard is far enough north it shouldnt matter too much. So even if the Arctic melts completely it sbould be fjne still, plus im pretty sure its dug in underground enough that underground cooling also kicks in.
Riminder the Bismarck wasnt critically damaged by top of the line aircraft, it was sunk by a bunch of biplanes which were effectively immune to its AA.
Battlships filled roughly the same position heavy tanks once filled, big heavy hitters that could take a beating. But with the march of progress came their downfall, that and the adoption of different fleet tactics.
I suspect that the big Carriers will be replaced with something more akin to smaller carriers, kinda like what Japan uses. Though those are definitely just destroyers no carriers here. But yeah with VTOL large aircraft carriers will most likely end up being decommissioned or turned into portable hospitals or soemthing specifically the nuclear ones.
