  • I feel like wasps seem more interested in both sweaty humans and our food compared to bees, so they get in your face in another way than bees do.
    Our southern red brick wall houses a lot of red mason bees every year and even though they live just next to the porch they leave us be. I’ve had a tired bee take a break on my sun-warm shoulder once or twice, but that’s pretty much it.


  • China is increasingly focusing on rehab and education, even among adult prison populations.

    The revised law emphasizes that inmates’ personal dignity, life, health and physical safety must remain inviolable. It also clearly stipulates that their rights to defense and to receive legal assistance while serving sentences should be protected. […]
    The amended law focuses on enhancing the quality of inmate education and rehabilitation, requiring innovative measures to help them reintegrate into society.

    China also separates juveniles from the adults and send them to correctional schools not ordinary prisons.

    All that sounds very sweet but their primary reason seem to be to create better performing prison labour. This is the note that the china daily ends the article with:

    Justice Minister He Rong said the update — the first comprehensive revision since 1994 — is a necessary response to public demand for fairness, justice and security.
    She added that improvements in law enforcement institutions and mechanisms have created new circumstances and higher demands placed on prison work.
    Therefore, it is necessary to revise the law to incorporate the experiences, practices and mechanisms developed over the past 30 years, ensuring that prison work progresses in an orderly manner under the rule of law.



  • The debate in regards to 13 year old gang members has gone into semantics in Sweden.
    Everyone seem to agree that to break a kid free from a gang you have to physically remove the kid from the gang and then give it proper care with education and rehab.
    The “hard on crime” parties call this prison, the others see it as an extension of social services and label it thereafter.

    The result will be that the gangs recruit twelve year olds to shoot their rivals or blow up their rivals flat.


  • An easy first step is to check BIOS and see if you can simply increase your fan speeds there for an immediate gain.
    Another easy quick fix is to add a normal desktop fan placed so it pushes air towards your intake fans.
    Third cheap way is to check what fans your case has today and what fits in it. Even the cheap 120mm fans from Arctic or Thermalright can increase airflow and lower temperatures.








  • They do use some more data than that, see my quote.

    2.5. Indices of global change

    We compared global human population size in the three main phases of facilitation, transition, and the negative r∼ N phase (see Results) to the global temperature anomaly obtained from the HadCRUT.5.0.2.0 ensemble prediction anomaly [56] relative to the 1960–1991 baseline (data available from 1850 to the present).
    We hypothesize that the strongest positive relationship between human population size and climate change occurred during the negative phase because of consumption externalities such as increasing natural resource exploitation and loss of biodiversity. This can result from societies in the period of declining r and resources subsequently driving environmental degradation. In contrast, societies in the facilitation phase might have adequate resources to fuel increasing population growth rates.
    We also used two additional indices of global change in the analyses to corroborate the results using global temperature anomaly: global ecological footprint measured as the number of Earths required to meet consumption rates [29], and total annual CO2-e emissions (ourworldindata.org).
