Portuguese millipedes infestation growing in Wellington, entomologist says

  • I wonder if recent weather conditions have been more favourable, maybe an impact of climate change?

    Would be a good project for someone but that also requires $$ which tertiary education sector hasn't been getting a ton of.

  • The local (and presumably central, based on comment from the local councillor) govt response is so disappointing. They should be reacting with urgency to try to figure out impacts on the ecosystem and control measures.

    • Why do we love feijoas more than anyone else in the world?

  • Yeah they are South American, there is even a picture of a feijoa tree in the Colombian passport. But usually when I mention feijoa to South Americans they think I'm talking about 'feijoada', which is a Brazilian bean/meat stew 😂

  • I'm a lurker who just figured out I have bad social anxiety which affects posting/commenting, so now I just need to come up with some strategies to overcome that 😅 Also based overseas so feel like a lot of what I would share is not very relevant...

    • Why do we love feijoas more than anyone else in the world?

  • Living overseas for twelve years, feijoas are the thing I miss most, because they're basically impossible to find anywhere else. I found them once in a supermarket in France and never again 🥲

  • My mum always insisted on a warm cup and us kids would make fun of her. But now I'm drinking coffee I appreciate how it makes the coffee stay hot that little bit longer!

    Are you fully submerging the steam wand into the milk to heat it through or just keeping it near the surface for bubbles. That would make a difference in the overall milk temp. And because metal conducts heat really well, it's probably getting hot before the milk. I think for properly warm milk it's supposed to be almost to hot to touch (although my old memories from working in a cafe may be lying to me)?

  • That's such a fascinating read. Love how someone predicted that behaviour so long ago, although I would be interested to see if there are modern studies that help understand why that's the reaction. I did see Tim's comments and was reminded CEOs have more similarities to psychopaths than the average population because his position was so unempathetic.
