As a Pest Control Technician in the US, it's absolutely wild to consider using Neonicotinoids for agricultural pest control.

A very large part of why Neonicotinoids (Neo-nics) are so dangerous for Bees, is that unlike other forms of pesticides, they are "biocompatible" with plants (they're based on nicotine after all).

Even just getting Neo-nics near plants can allow them to project the full pesticide directly into the nectar, after the root systems pull the Neo-nics in.

Another large reason that Neo-nics are super dangerous to Bees, is called the "transfer effect".

Essentially if a Bee gets any of the Neo-nic on them, they can spread it by just saying "Hello" to the other Bees in the hive.

So you have Neo-nic laden Nectar, getting brought directly back to the hive... It's game over.

Where are you getting the impression that they don't "actually" cook?

My Fiancee and I just over the last couple of weeks binged the series 12 Monkeys for the first time. Easily one of my favorite shows period, and it's a show that ended as intended.

If you've seen the movie, from other people's observations (I haven't watched it), the first season of the show vaguely follows along a similar idea, but it absolutely is not the same afterwards.

It's 4 seasons and 46 episodes so it's not a huge commitment, but the payoff is so worth it.

The show is one of the rare ones where it only gets better as it goes on, up to the very last episode. Truly underrated and overlooked.

That isn't Doxxing.

Properly cooked broccoli is amazing, and I'll die on this hill.

That and the sweet zoom that KDE has built in.

Then why fucking announce it in this state when you're also running the damn thing on two 5090s, and supposedly in 6ish months the thing will release on a single card, and better?
