Given the location, these guys aren’t that particular cockroach-eating species, but they’re probably a similar parasitoid of some flavor (chrysididae).
E: After digging through some regional entomology references, I’m thinking these are blue mud daubers due to the elongated body and abdomen shape.
Yeah. They’re probably hardened to some degree, but a green laser with at least a watt of power will still cook ‘em pretty good.
E: Obligatory warning that a 1+ W laser will also cook your eyes pretty good.
How did Albert Munsell figure out the color of the soil everywhere we go? Is he the mastermind who put it there?
If it weren’t for fucking Gödel, we’d be there already.
Just write the standard model as a few lines of lambda calculus and leave the rest as an exercise for the reader.
I know you’re playing devil’s advocate, but to play devil:
In a theoretical world where you can manage to perfectly beamform the entire 20-20k Hz frequency range into a single node (or pair of nodes around the ears)… you’re still just re-condensing the original reference signal at the site of your beam target.
And if your idea of peak quality is to hear the reference signal loud and clear, it might be marginally easier to set up some well-tuned speakers in an arrangement relatively free of resonance hotspots and then crank up the volume.
So, how do you “crank up the volume” for that? Glad you asked; simple really: we need to apply a gain filter. To do this, we set up an array of batteries, and then connect only the positive side of the batteries to our audio cable. Positive electricity is bigger than negative electricity, so adding positive electricity to the cable means the speaker sound gets bigger.
In short, all you need to match the quality of a hi-fi beamforming speaker system can be replaced with a few 9V batteries connected to your tuner with a paperclip. Thanks for coming to my audio engineering TED talk.
Samples of every form of biological matter we encountered were ingested, and the results were recorded in a logbook. Most of the leaves and twigs were unpalatable, chewy and inert, while the animals universally avoided analysis because they were too fast to catch.
This is a banger. RIP to our boy George.

Lemmy is optional, and the project is hosted on Github.
Seconding this answer. The error message and description scream envvar issue.
This is my first time using systemd, so I’m not sure if I am overlooking an obvious step or what.
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world Did you run a systemctl daemon-reload after making the PassEnvironment change to your service file?
If you really want something upgradeable, used enterprise SFF is the way to go: https://discountelectronics.com/
However, the hardware market is in a weird spot right now; you’ll get far more bang for your buck with an Intel N150. You can find a 16GB DDR5 w/ 1 TB SSD around the $200 mark, and that’s what I’d roll with in your shoes, assuming you don’t mind living without a spinning disk. Your Jellyfin and Immich instances will run far smoother.
Cool spot regardless! I’m a native Texan and had my interest piqued by your post yesterday.
