Oh, for sure it is. But as another poster mentioned in a comment, it's not just cookies - pretty much any baked dessert goes well with milk.

That might be part of it. My experience is mostly with the Midwest and southeast US, where there are a lot of dairy farms.

But I totally agree.

I'm in the US. It seems to be pretty common in the Midwest and Southeast, at least. I'm not sure about other parts of the country.

Thinking about the places outside of the US that I've been to, I could certainly see it not being that common. Maybe it's mostly a US thing.

Maybe it's regional and/or cultural.

If I had to guess, I'd say I've probably had milk with cake more often than I've had milk with cookies.

Boron?

I guess that heavily depends on the games you're playing

I think this is the key thing.

If you're always buying the newest GPU to play the latest tech- envelope-pushing AAA title that requires the latest greatest driver, then you're probably not going to have a good time with gaming on Debian.

But some of us don't care about those types of games, or maybe in some cases we do but are willing to wait a while to play a particular title (hello Patient Gamers). In that case Debian is a nice, rock solid gaming platform.

Anecdotally, I probably do 85+% of my gaming on Debian (the rest being my steam deck). And it works fine for me because of the types of games I play and/or how long I tend to wait before getting new titles (giving Debian time to catch up).

It's definitely not for every gamer, but I don't think it's as unusable for gaming as people often suggest.

Plus queens are often dewinged so they don't fly away.

Not dewinged. Beekeepers don't go around pulling wings off of queens.

Some beekeepers will clip part of a queen's wing, similar to how people with pet birds will sometimes clip a wing. This doesn't hurt the queen just like it doesn't hurt the bird.

That said, I don't think it's as common of a practice as it once was, as its benefits are pretty questionable (especially vs the risks). I expect when it happens, it's new/hobby beekeepers who read about it in a book somewhere and don't know any better.

I've heard, but have next to no proof, that in winter, drones are suffocated because they will eat the honey that they make instead of humans getting it.

That's ridiculous. You've been lied to.

It's true that drones die in winter, but it's because the hive itself makes the decision to evict the drones - the workers force them out and then they starve, freeze, or are eaten by predators. This is true of wild colonies as well as managed ones, and is how the life cycle of the honey bee has evolved.

Humans have absolutely nothing to do with it.

I've read that there are some 3rd party launchers that will let you bypass the account requirement for solo play. I haven't dug into it to figure out which one(s) though.

Of course it doesn't look like one... They're robots in disguise.

Lots of methods work, but they each have their own pros and cons. Different yields, different risks, different costs, etc. There is no method that is perfect, IMHO.

That said, shroomscout's guide is good, though personally I found 90sm's videos to be similar content but easier to digest. ( He also had a video on fruiting from the bag but I've never tried it)

I don't know your situation but I know a lot of people on this path are doing it to try to deal with shit they haven't otherwise been able to deal with.

If that describes you, then my advice is to inoculate a few bags using whatever method you feel like you can handle right now.

If you have a normal size syringe, you can do several bags of UB and still have a lot left over to try again.

Then, while you're waiting for growth, keep learning. If it doesn't work out, figure out what went wrong, fix it, and try again.

As someone who had to carry one of these for work at the time -

One of the most ridiculous things about it, was that you didn't have to use the speakerphone with the walkie talkie feature. You could hold it up to your ear like a regular cell phone, talk at a normal volume, hear the other person perfectly fine, and actuate the PTT with your thumb (or index finger if left handed) when necessary.

There was zero reason to use it as obnoxiously as most people did.

If you want EQ without most of the modern comforts, you might consider trying one of the fan-run emulated servers like Project 1999.

But it still isn't quite the same. And to me, it can't be, because I think that part of the magic was how new and different a lot of it was for a lot of the players (It wasn't the first MMO, but it was a lot of people's first MMO).
