takes out lede shovel
tens of thousands of honeybees
The beekeeper has removed between 55,000 and 65,000 bees and 100lb (45kg) of honeycomb.

@Zecc ā¦ which turns out to be ā¦ a normal number for a single hive at the peak of its strength.

I had a wasp nest in my bedroom wall one year. Could hear them crawling around, but thankfully they only had an exit to the outside. Although they don't seem to have returned so I hope it was just the one summer.
And also, the name of the news site is clearly wrong for this particular news item!

I didn't realize Seattle and Baltimore are so small.

@Tsaukpaetra Not a Nope. They hold their eggs and then young in their mouth. Nobody is being hurt here, the men are just collecting the young presumably to move them to some safer pond.

@Benjamin-Hall surely, this triggers all kinds of breakers, right?
-
@topspin Why? A dual socket normally has just one cable running to it and the slots above each other are just connected with a solid piece of metal. So no breaker outside the socket can distinguish this horror from a normal C-type (without ground) plug, and there are no breakers inside the socket.
-
@Bulb I feared the answer would be something like that.
-
@Bulb When the idiot who did this electrocutes himself, that will probably trigger the breaker... eventually, but not before he earns his well-deserved Darwin Award.
-
Another possibility is the breaker tripping because the thing that's "plugged" in doesn't like getting 230V instead of 115V.
-
@Zerosquare True, although a fair number of US devices have a 120/240V switch, even though they're equipped with standard US 120V plugs. (If you're traveling, you only need an adapter, not a voltage converter.) In some cases (this seems to be common, for example, on hair dryers), the "voltage switch" is nothing more than a mechanical obstruction that prevents the power switch from being switched to "high".

He most likely won't. If he touched one of the contacts with one hand and the other contact with the other hand, that could be fatal, but otherwise unlikely. When you are not touching any conductive grounding, touching a live 240 V is a non-event.

@hungrier As this is a lock the LPL could probably pick at 4AM, blindfolded, with a BAC of 0.3%, I think it's fair to up the ante a bit. In each AC cycle you have almost a millisecond where the pick would be safe to touch, so ā¦ gotta be fast or hand over to your YT colleague!

@DogsB Those dandelions don't look shaded.

As long as you're not grounded or part of the power loop, it's "safe" either way. Standing on dry wood floors with bare feet makes live wires tickle and sting, but not much worse. Until you complete a circuit, then it hurts like a motherfucker. And may electrocute you as a bonus.

Stop picking on the AI! They have fe... yeah, no, can't do it...

@Tsaukpaetra you are in the right thread.

These mega-crabs are so large that can have up to a meter-long leg span. They were so enormous, that Charles Darwin described them as āmonstrousā, though he also thought they were delicious.

Why does it matter what she was eventually eaten by? It almost certainly wasn't the cause of death. That was either impact or drowning as they failed to reach the island where they intended to refuel.
