Old lady in bag jail (pics.letsfail.com)

She goes into the Hell Bag for roughly 15 minutes a month, the time it takes to get her monthly Old Kitty Medicine (which comes as a jab).

She earned the Hell Bag (aka bathing bag) after requiring sedation and injuring her Human during the first home visit from the vet. Totally unrelated, but her teeth are in remarkably good, pointy, stabby condition for a 14 year old cat.

Little identification help please? (pics.letsfail.com)

Edit: Halictus scabiosae, identified through observations.be with 99% certainty.

What am I looking at? Except a very industrious little worker?

How do I go about figuring it out? Is there some reliable site that would allow me to refine by stripes and such? Thanks.

This is Wallonia, Belgium. I got a new camera, which allows me to get much more detailed entirely useless pictures! I was one with the bees for an entire hour, came home with 500 pictures, and this is the only photo I got of this one. The stripe pattern struck me, with the very sharp lines, but I have no head, no thorax, no nothing...

How to capture your smol criminals (www.youtube.com)
 

Hi there. I unfortunately ran out of smol criminals of my own to post here, so I figured I would help my fellow birb law enforcement agents to get more work done, with helpful tutorials from the internet.

The videos are not mine. I like that photographer a lot and he is single-handedly responsible for that one time I captured an actually good picture of a birb.

He's good at what he does. He loves what he does. He does NOT yell at the viewer (which is appreciated, ISO settings do not need to be discussed at a decibel volume equal to said iso settings). He has excellent underhanded tricks to get smol criminals to commit crimes on camera.

His pictures are lovely.

Check it out.

Do what he does.

Then post your results here so I can enjoy them, thank you very much, byyyye :D

Wavre, Belgium, today ♥ I knew there were chaffinches in town, I hear their calls on the regular, but I hadn't managed to see one up close yet.

My opml of news and magazine feeds (github.com)
 

The opml

I aimed at granularity, by gathering all the feeds I could find for each website. If you import the opml as it is, you will drown in duplicate articles, so I recommend cherry-picking the feeds you want.

What I learned while preparing this:

  • Feedbro is your friend and can autodetect all feeds on a page, if they are listed
  • Some CMS automatically generate feeds for the categories, so it's worth trying to tack "/rss" or "/feed" somewhere in the URL, you never know
  • I love FreshRSS

Opml - Feeds of 90+ hiveworks comics (raw.githubusercontent.com)

It contains most of the comics listed here: https://hiveworkscomics.com/active

I decided to write a script to scrape the links because it was going to be "easy", well I should have known better. 10 comics or so are missing from the OPML due to "can't find the rss link" or "that's... not xml" circumstances. Sorry about that.
