Cicada wasps are a cicada predator. In a totally normal wasp behavior they paralyze a cicada and leave it for their larva to eat.

World News@lemmy.world•France moves to abolish concept of marital duty to have sexEnglish
47·3 months agoFault divorce makes you prove that harm is being done thus a divorce is needed. This is removing no sex as a fault. I think there are usually financial ramifications from being the at fault spouse. Thus there would be financial repercussions for refusing to have sex with someone. Obviously a bad thing.
There is a thing called no-fault divorce that requires no proof of harm. I don’t know if France has this, but it is how you get around needing any reason besides that one spouse wants to.
At the gross airy store

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why Are There Fourth Notes in Bars That Only Count to Three?
31·6 months agoIt is an indicator that you’re heading in the right direction or not on topic for your question. You don’t have to have an emotional response to data for it to relevant. You seem to be the kind to wallow in ignorance though since you ignored everything except the first thing I said.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why Are There Fourth Notes in Bars That Only Count to Three?
11·6 months agoYou’re getting down voted because your comment is confusing music with musical notation. You can’t hear whether someone is playing a whole note or a quarter note. You can keep rhythm and say that note was 4 times longer than the last one. 1/4 notes will always be 1/4 the length of a whole note in the same song (assuming no time signature or tempo changes), but they don’t define a certain length of note in real time.

2·10 months agoAs long as the anglosphere doesn’t include the USA. Most people here would be able to guess what a sausage roll is but most wouldn’t have seen one.
I think the best bet would be following recipes. That means finding recipes that minimize ‘to taste’ instructions. A lot can be done by look and texture, so you can be decent enough for anyone who’s not a snob. Also, err on the side of too little salt and put some on the table.
Refreezing is fine for safety (if you thawed it correctly). The main reason not to freeze and thaw things multiple times is that tiny ice crystals do damage to the structure of the food each time freezing happens.
In meat, that damage makes your meat dry out easier when cooking. That’s normally a bad thing, bit it might actually be a good idea for making jerky.
In short, I would have no hesitation using refrozen meat to make jerky

vegan@lemmy.world•Are there any good vegan recipes that are original?English
1·1 year agoYes, there are vegan versions or replacements, and there are plenty of people (cooks) who won’t even register that a sauce might not be vegan and use them. Source: personal experience. If this isn’t a problem around you, I am happy you don’t have to scrutinized menus like that.

There is a difference between pain from an injury and muscle pain from excercise (DOMS). The former should be treated like a real injury where you give rest including very light exercise. Too much work could make the damage worse. The latter can be mostly ignored except for your own comfort.
Keep notes on what you do including outcomes. You can always reinstall, skip all of the extra crap you didn’t need to mess around with and have a good clean system without having to back track.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Where does all the cut/shaved hair end up that isn't donated?
3·3 years agoIn my area, trash is screened and ladfilled. Some hair goes with that, but most enters the solids stream where it is treated then the treated residuals are applied to farms as a soil enhancer/fertilizer. Pretty cool that they don’t just send it to landfill imo

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is cooking a food item method called different things by what the item is, or what is the criteria?
2·3 years agoI looked it up and cooking oil definitely can boil in a physics/chemistry sense of the word. That temp is well above the smoke point. I agree that in a practical sense boiling oil is a fire ball before you’d ever have to worry about breathing too much oil vapor though.







Fruit pie. Mostly apple. It’s as American as… I dunno, I’m bad at analogy.
