    Before the settlers came the plains would be covered with herds of free-roaming mattresses as far as the eye could see. Now we only have these small protected groups in captivity. Sad, really.

    Don't Google wild mattress tag removal, it's very cruel.

    I don't know why anyone's surprised. Those aren't ground dwelling mattresses, they're airbeds.

    I was assured that all mattresses are thoroughly killed before removal from the swamp. The Sqornshellous Zeta hunters' guild is going to be getting one HELL of a letter from me!

    A woman in Brisbane, Australia, was lucky enough to get 50k-60k bees in her house.
    https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-australia-49431167/huge-beehive-discovered-inside-ceiling
    5ga2y127d2t0.png
    A giant hive was removed from a woman's house in Brisbane, Australia.

    The ten-month-old hive weighed 50kg and was holding 60,000 bees.
    The guy says they had 50kg of honeycomb in the hive, which is a delicious amount of honeycomb that might even sate Winnie the Pooh or President Xi.

    If you are wondering if 60k bees is a lot for a hive, the answer is it is a pretty good amount.

    https://www.quora.com/How-many-bees-are-there-in-a-hive
    A healthy honeybee hive usually has around 20,000-50,000 bees during summer. Almost all of these will be female workers, along with a queen and a few hundred male drones. The queen's egg laying rate peaks around May-June up to 1,500 a day - at this time she lays more than her own body weight in eggs each day!

    Going into autumn the queen will start laying fewer eggs and stop laying completely in winter, so the number of bees in the hive drops to about 10-15,000. As the winter bees do not have to feed young or forage for food they are able to live longer, allowing them to survive the winter months long enough to rear new brood when the queen starts laying again in early spring.
    A Hive = a tree , cave , lava tube[here in Hawaii] , a unmaintained home ,that has a hole in it outer wall that you can slide a pencil into , a cliff over hang . These locations will be used almost completely un-noticed until they get very big . most ‘working hives ‘ have 30,000–40,000 bees in them . But I have removed some as large as 100,000 with just one very busy queen caring for the egg laying duties . Some hives will briefly have sometimes the old queen and her young daughter working in the same hive before Mom dies
    Honey bees are social insects that live in colonies. Honey bee colonies consist of a single queen, hundreds of male drones and 20,000 to 80,000 female worker bees. Each honey bee colony also consists of developing eggs, larvae and pupae.

    The number of individuals within a honey bee colony depends largely upon seasonal changes. A colony could reach up to 80,000 individuals during the active season, when workers forage for food, store honey for winter and build combs. However, this population will decrease dramatically during colder seasons.
    It is currently late winter in Brisbane.

    Bee whisperer is apparently a job title now.

    Strangely the honey melting and running out the ceiling/down the walls etc is likely to be more of a problem than the actual bees, which is a bit counter intuitive but hey

    Of course, the honey itself pales in comparison when put up against the difficulties in dealing with President Xi, who is inevitably drawn to the sweet bee vom that he can neither resist or spell.

    Though for a 50kg Hive I think you should be pointing wildly whilst shouting "BEEEEES!", purely as a public safety concern.
    Those smaller hives in out of the way places, you can tap someone on the shoulder, gesture generally in that direction whilst whispering "bees" and that should do it.
    Or just wave whilst in your suit, but guess he has specifically trained for this kind of thing.

    The cheese definitely stands alone when $187k worth of it is stolen:
    Someone has made off with $187,000 worth of cheese from Saputo Dairy Products in Tavistock.

    Investigators with Oxford County OPP are reviewing security surveillance footage in an attempt to determine who was behind the cheese heist.

    OPP say on Aug. 9, around 7:45 a.m., a man entered the business on Hope Street W. and provided paperwork for a large quantity of cheese to be delivered to New Brunswick. The product was loaded onto a blue transport truck and the man left.

    The company did not realize the shipment was stolen until the delivery failed to arrive at the location early the following week.

    Identity Theft... IN SPAAAAACE!!!

    https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2019/08/24/astronaut-identity-theft-in-space/
    NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A NASA astronaut who was supposed to be part of the first all-female spacewalk in history has been accused of another milestone – committing the first recorded crime in space.

    Anne McClain, a Lt. Colonel in the U.S. Army, has reportedly been accused of identity theft while on board the International Space Station.
    According to multiple reports, McClain allegedly accessed her estranged wife’s bank account in the midst of a bitter divorce between to two women.
    Summer Worden, a former Air Force intelligence officer and Kansas resident, married the astronaut in 2014.
    The New York Times reports that, even though the two married, Worden was reluctant to let McClain officially adopt her son – who was born a year before the couple met.
    The marriage eventually fell apart in 2018, as McClain reportedly sought to gain shared parenting rights over Worden’s son.
    The astronaut also took the matter to a judge, requesting the exclusive right to determine where the boy would live if Worden and McClain could not salvage their marriage.
    “I don’t understand this tactic of attacking me as Brig’s mother and being so aggressive… and demanding a legal managing custody. That to me is bizarre to me. I don’t understand who would do that to another person,” Worden said via KHOU.
    “If you claim to love this little boy, how are you going to show his mother zero respect?… Anne’s colleagues have been known to say she will kill to win, that’s how competitive she is,” the astronaut’s spouse claimed.
    After Worden asked her bank to check her recent activity, McClain’s allegedly criminal access was found out – taking place during the NASA astronaut’s six-month missing on the ISS.

    McClain nearly made history in March, when she was scheduled to be part of the first all-female spacewalk in history. The mission was canceled because the ISS did not have two properly fitting spacesuits for the women.

    LA policeman who said sniper shot him 'made it up'
    Authorities in Los Angeles say a sheriff's deputy who claimed he had been shot by a sniper actually cut two fake bullet holes in his uniform with a knife and made the whole thing up.

    Police launched a massive manhunt last Wednesday after Angel Reinosa called in to say he was pinned down by gunfire.

    "I'm taking shots from the north of the Lancaster helipad, I'm hit in the right shoulder," said a frantic Mr Reinosa.

    "My shirt's ripped to the right. I think it's from the apartment window."

    Mr Reinosa has been relieved of his duties and is facing a criminal investigation.

    "He is doing great, thankfully," Sheriff's Captain Todd Weber said at the time. "The wound was minor and he's been treated and he's doing well, in high spirits."

    The only problem was, there was no wound. Mr Reinosa has now admitted fabricating the sniper fire and using a knife to cut two fake bullet holes in the shoulder area of his shirt.

    It was not immediately clear why it took so long to notice that Mr Reinosa had not suffered any wounds.

    Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

    Yes. EVA suits are different than the suits they wear for launch, and are super expensive and very heavy to launch. They won't save a life - in a breach they can't be put on fast enough, if you're already in one you won't last until rescue, and with an atmosphere leak reentry wont be survivable (Soyuz 11 probably died before reentry but the condition of the craft when it was recovered made it clear if they weren't they would have been quickly).

    If you don't fit the same size suit as a sufficient number of other EVA trained astronauts, you're shit out of luck, because NASA won't buy a suit just for you that could very well be used 0-1 times in your whole career.
