You need some real skill to capture a live bee, I don't think there was any age I'd be able to do that.

Grand Embarcadero @GrandEmbarcdero

We present the Grand Embarcadero. A way to: a more welcoming waterfront More people engaging each other near zero pollution near zero fatalities Increased retail and restaurant business

Cool design for The Embarcadero in SF, although I noticed the website is very easy to use if you want to create your own street designs.

Your periodic reminder that it is not physically possible to open an aircraft door while the aircraft is pressurized inflight. Scary to see someone try, sure, but not possible to accomplish. https://t.co/NSiWuoxzv0

Flight AA1775 from LA to DC just did an emergency landing in Kansas after a near disaster when one passenger attempted to open the plane door mid flight. Other passengers and flight attendants subdued and had to use force to disable the individual. Now in Kansas waiting for FBI

Here's a picture of one without the cover, but the upshot is that aircraft doors actually mechanically must move inward before moving outward, meaning that when the aircraft is pressurized, the pressure holds the door closed.

🗣️"We are trying to find the best way out." Ukraine's ambassador to the UK Vadym Prystaiko has told @StephenNolan his country might agree not to join @NATO if it would avert war with Russia. It would mean the country abandoning a goal written into its constitution. 🎧⬇️

No joke, it really is right there in their constitution, also membership in the EU is a goal.
