thanks for the additional information

i remember reading that plants can’t supply enough taurin. Luckily it seems easy to synthesize (that’s how we have redbull &c

taurine and arginine, to be more precise.

Whitewash is applied to trees, especially fruit trees, to prevent sun scald. Most often only the lower trunk is painted. In Poland painting the whole trunk is also said to help keep the body of the tree cool in late winter and early spring months and hence help prevent fruit trees from blooming too soon, i.e. when warm sunny days could promote rapid tree warming, rising sap and bloom and intermittent frosty nights could damage outer tree rings and destroy the young buds and blossoms.

Both summer sunburn and winter sun scald can cause the tree’s bark to crack or die, resulting in additional stress which is compounded by insects and parasites that enter the barkless wood, an invasion that will ultimately shorten the tree’s life. Tree paint or whitewash protects against this.

i can’t load the site now but i remember yugop. It was unlike anything else on the web.

Dried fish, cheese, bacon, dog treats, and poultry are some of the foods that the beetle gets into. One study found that larvae show no preference out of calf meat, chicken meat, and pellet feed for rodents.

The beetle has been known to parasitically feed on live turkeys, leaving deep wounds.

sounds like a real pest

i used inaturalist to identify. Helps a lot with insects, plants and mushrooms.

this is all you’ll get from that link:

“We usually don’t share our feature plan, but I have seen some expectations that I feel like should be corrected before they go wild,” wrote the Google employee, adding that Google does not intend to leverage the tool to “bring yet another desktop environment.”

“Android, as speculated by the public, will have better desktop-class windowing system. We think it would in general be bad to present multiple options for the window management on a single device,” wrote the employee.

both Qwant and Ecosia are working with Microsoft. Not so European.

Monocles is SearX, which basically is boogle, bing &c behind a shroud. Like Leta also is.

Mojeek is the only “European” alternative, it seems
