I've seen it once and it was out-worldish (even though not as spectacular as the fotos at wikipedia).

Also TIL about dewbow and I want to see it.

TIL varroas have been found in Australia, I'm sorry for that.
And thank you for the explanation.

When I ask them a simple question and they answer with at least ten-sentences-long answer.
Jes, I do it too.

Can you elaborate how much is stingless-bee-keeping different from apis-mellifera-beekeeping?

That eggs are made in factories. I still haven't made peace with this, and lurk around egg equivalents (I'm not vegan).

Also when I was in kindergarden, I had terrible idea about how the map of our village looks like.

Is it enforced? And... why?

Cool YouTube cooking channels? - I still haven't watched any of them.
Rain gear methodology for hiking in any weather condition

Also when the leap years were introduced, the priests (who were to take care of the calendar) didn't understand what dis "every four years" mean, and used to put a leap year every three years.

Drop a drop of blood on the ashes to resurrect them. And ask them to carry the vampire first-aid-kit next time.

TIL How to Train Your Dragon is originally a book. Thank you.

Well, depends on the writter. Choose the right details about anybody's life and you have 100/100.

Please, just do not. Do not shorten any name or word. It sounds terribly, as if some wannabee-cool marketeer without a basic dignity of language-user invented it.

How I'd like to upgrade the system of Czechlands:
Bicameral parliament. The lower chamber is currently elected in a country-wide proportional ellections with electoral threshold of 5%, in name of easy established government. Let's get rid of the threshold.
But how would we get the government (currently must be approved by the lower chamber)? The lower chamber shall elect each member of government separately (and at will they shall elect a new one). This proces would allways result in an existing government. Some fancy condorcet voting method could be used, as I like fancy condorvet voting methods.
Upper chamber is currently elected in one-mandate districts by a two round system, I'd change it to approval system, as it has quite good qualities and is reasonably understandable (and trust is important in politics).

As the large-scale ellection campaigns are based on "hollow promises and marketing", so would be your proposal prone to ?psychopats? who are able to act like 'good guy' and then do evil.
And if I had to accept your system, I would propose to elect more then one representant to the next level, becouse giving my power in hands of one person is really scary.
And another practical problem: let's say sb. would be member of the Earth council, but also member of country, lander, regional, town and neighborhood councils. How would they be able to be active on all these levels? (Including also traveling problems, becouse I don't really believe in usefullness of on-line meetings.)

How would be such a debate of ten milliards of people moderated? Who would decide, that today, we shall vote about the water, and tomorrow, about some boring technical norms of street lights? If you have an answer, how would be this solution resistant to a misuse?
Would we haveanything like a constitution? And how would be principles of subsidarity achieved?

So what electoral system do you propose? One-mandate districts? Using sorting elect. mothod and than take the first n candidates? STV?

Also note that for bicameral solution it's good to use different methods.

The abstract things is what I used to enjoy the most. But I shall think about your advice, thank you.

In terms of sci-fi, I've got The War of the Worlds on list.

It's good solution how to "read" while doing some manual chore, like cooking.
However, I don't do it, but I think it's worthy of a try.

How do you feel about audiobooks?
