Yes! I think this is still one of my favorite games of all time. And it definitely has a Lovecraftian feel to it.

Oatmeal chocolate chip, when you can find them, are awesome.

My wife got a sleep headband with Bluetooth from some random Chinese company on Amazon. So far she's been pretty happy with it, though she's mostly a back sleeper. She says when she sleeps on her side, sometimes the headphone part bothers her and sometimes it doesn't. So YMMV. If you want the exact brand I can ask her, though I expect most of the brands are selling the same thing.

Look up some of the Japanese lore about Tanuki (the Japanese name for the raccoon dog). It involves magic, giant scrotums, and all sorts of delightful stuff.

If you like anime, Studio Ghibli (famous for a lot of classics including Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and others) did a movie called Pom Poko, which is about tanuki. If you don't care for subtitles, the English dub is pretty good, and the voice cast stars a lot of well known (for the time) American actors.

You're obviously not a golfer.

Not to be all "Well ackchyually" but most (maybe all?) of the moisture reduction happens after the nectar has been stored in the comb, but before it has been capped with wax for storage. So the bottom two panels are out of order.

Also, if anyone cares, the term for the mouth-to-mouth passing of the nectar is trophallaxis.

We used to feed our cats almost entirely dry food, with wet food as an occasional treat (no real schedule for wet, just every now and then).

But over the years we've had a number of cats that had health issues that were mitigated by switching to mostly wet food.

So now it's reversed- almost entirely wet food with dry food occasionally (every couple of days or so). At least, for our indoor cats.

We also take care of a feral colony (many of which we've TNR'd), and those cats get dry food for logistical and cost reasons.

100%. They've just guaranteed that the sous vide unit that I have now is the last Anova product I will ever buy.

Interesting bee fact -

In a hive that has been queenless for a period of time (long enough that there's no way they can raise a replacement queen), one or more workers may develop the ability to lay unfertilized eggs.

Due to how honeybee genetics work, those unfertilized eggs can hatch into drones (males), which may then have the opportunity to mate with queens from nearby colonies.

I guess this is sort of a last ditch effort to propagate the hive's genetic material before it fizzles out and dies. Which I think is fascinating.

I haven't tried this so I can't vouch for it, but it looks like you can add custom domains to a whitelist per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1292986

So in your case, something like

browser.fixup.domainsuffixwhitelist.work = true

may work.

I don't have an alternative program to suggest, but there are some workarounds for using redshift.

First, in the config file, you can set the location provider to manual, then specify a lat/lon and it will use that location in its time calculations. I do this on my laptop, and it works well except for when I cross multiple timezones - things are obviously off a bit.

Second, with the caveat that I haven't tried this, it looks like you can also manually set dawn/dusk times in the config, which sounds like what you're after.

See man 1 redshift for more info.
