The envelopes have a too dark shade of green, are too glossy and have no return address the FBI says.

There is no such thing as a pineapple tree. That’s an AI image.

Pineapples grow in an even more ridiculous way.

That was magnificent…

They’re made that way so you don’t accidentally connect a gas cylinder to a water line.

Yes, I imagine they’d use the Arrow 3, and the US Navy could probably help out with SM3s if they were instructed to intervene.

I understand the saliva has a benefit for mosquitoes, but not the swelling and the itching (the “unpleasantness” in the title). In essence, our bodies hung this not-otherwise-useful allergic response on something the mosquitoes couldn’t/wouldn’t/didn’t give up and which was firmly specific to their bites, to single them out.

If there was no saliva our bodies would be pressured by natural selection to pick some other mechanism to make their bites unpleasant. An allergy to their chitin or a phobia to the sound of their wings, etc.

Evolutionary pressure from mosquitoes has probably been no small thing.

When the war was obviously in the ‘last stand’ phase for the Imperial Japanese Navy, they sent their pride, the largest battleship in the world, Yamato, with just nine light escorts to run itself aground on the shore of Okinawa island and act as an unsinkable fortress there. Unfortunately it had to go past about eleven carriers with almost 400 aircraft and… it didn’t make it.

That video never really answers the question…

“Yes, we’ve laid waste to your lands, but think of how much we could exploit them (and you, of course) now!”
