When I was young, I can remember our garden being full of May Bugs. Having the somewhat curious common name of Cockchafer (which allegedly is derived from the German, meaning big chewer), I was easily bemused.
We would regularly hear cracking noises as these huge flying Brazil Nuts would slam into our kitchen and dining room windows.
And, if one landed on you, then their hook like legs would hold on for dear life until they had tired of our screams and violent shaking, before flying away.

St. John's company Aera Farms is hoping to take the restaurant industry by storm — or mist. Aera's farming appliance, Victory, started with a Tupperware container and lights in Shawn and Amy Fisher's basement. Now, it looks much like a refrigerator.

Well, well, well... a few weeks before the Govt. increased the cap on foreign state ownership of UK newspapers to 15% (thereby allowing the UAE to take a 15% in the Telegraph), a delegation from the UAE visited No.1o to seek 'clarification' on media ownership laws....

The image features a display of several red Formula 1 race cars, prominently showcasing the Ferrari brand. The cars are lined up in a row, with the closest car in the foreground displaying the number 1 and the Shell logo on its front wing. The cars are adorned with various sponsor logos, including Vodafone, Bridgestone, and Shell. The background includes a large wall with text, likely providing historical context or information about the cars. The lighting is dim, focusing attention on the cars, and the overall setting appears to be an exhibition or museum. The cars are positioned on a flat surface, and the image captures the intricate details of the vehicles, such as the aerodynamic components and sponsor decals.

#CataractSurgery is on joke. You can die on the table. I nearly did.
I had my cataract surgeries done at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. When I went for my second surgery they gave me too much fentanyl and I became "unresponsive". I don't know whose mistake it was, either the anesthetist or the factory that dosed it out. Either way, the surgeon called my partner and told her. She thought I was dying and totally freaked out.
They gave me to puffs or Narcan with no results so they wheeled me to the recovery room so I'd die on somebody else's watch. A nurse in the recovery room gave me a third puff and a came out of it bleary but alive. My partner showed up and took me home. She was seriously shook up by the incident. She was mad,too. She really, really, really, wanted to sue. It was a clear cut case of malpractice but, as our lawyer explained, we couldn't get any monetary recompense "because there was no permanent damage".
Two weeks later I went back to to get the second cataract removed. I refused fentanyl. They refused to give me Propofol instead, so I went through the operation with only local anesthesia. I was totally conscious. It was like staring at a giant Klieg light up close, not pleasant at all, but I had to do it in order to see, so I did.

Given we have a poverty line, beneath which we (as a global society) have agreed no-one should fall (even if in actuality we have not always managed to ensure that), perhaps we also need an extreme wealth line above which we would agree that accumulated wealth is too much for one family or individual?
Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah's proposal makes sense but might be difficult to deliver politically, but equally, things seem impossible until they are not!
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
It’s not a rich list – it’s gone far beyond that. We need to talk about ‘extreme wealth’
We recognise extreme poverty as ruinous, but this turbo-charged affluence is deeply damaging too. Treat it as such, says Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah of the New Economics FoundationDhananjayan Sriskandarajah (The Guardian)

in reply to Alessandro Gaziano • • •L'immagine mostra una scena costiera con un mare agitato e onde che si infrangono contro una serie di rocce in primo piano. Il cielo è parzialmente nuvoloso, con nuvole bianche e grigie che si estendono su un fondo azzurro. In lontananza, si vede una coste con edifici colorati, probabilmente residenziali, che si affacciano sul mare. La luce del sole illumina la scena, creando un contrasto tra le acque scure e le rocce scure, e le nuvole bianche e il cielo azzurro.
