Thanks for the comments. Based on them I found https://github.com/snapcrafters/gimp/issues/21 which suggested copying the font to ~/.fonts/ (which didn't work) and to /usr/local/share/fonts/ which fixed it - Epiphany can now see the font, and I can now set it as default in Firefox (tho Firefox is ignoring it in a page's CSS).
Answer: "The lifespan of these wasps is only 5 days"
"it's brain cells get rid of their own nucleus and all its stored maintenance information. The neurons already exist, so maintenance is the only task [...] requiring DNA, and they don’t live long enough for that to matter at this point"
"No nucleus or DNA frees up half of a neuron’s volume"
Anyone know why Megaphragma mymaripenne's genus has "mega" in the name?
"mega-, megalo-: [...] big/great." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commonly_used_taxonomic_affixes#M

The crust is minuscule compared to the core and mantle.
The mantle makes up about 84% of Earth’s total volume. The temperature varies from about 1 300 K (1 000°C, 1 832°F) near its boundary with the crust, to 4 000 K (3 700°C, 6 692°F) near its boundary with the core. https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/mantle/
The temperature in the Earth's core is uncertain: estimates at the inner core boundary range from 4 000 K to 8 000 K and at the core–mantle boundary from 3 000 to 4 500 K. https://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfbdxa/pubblicazioni/nat.pdf

“Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents, and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities; and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: garbage in, garbage out. […] If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here… like, the public.” - George Carlin https://piped.video/watch?v=cBrbXOmnW70
The king's royal household gets about ZAR 71 300 000 per year [1] (EUR 3 500 000, tho I think the actual buying power is much more than the euros would indicate).
I don't know if that royal family brings in any tourism money like royals in some other countries. Hopefully not, because tourism is a major contributor to catastrophic climate change.
The South African constitution states that "A traditional authority that observes a system of customary law may function subject to any applicable legislation and customs, which includes amendments to, or repeal of, that legislation or those customs. The courts must apply customary law when that law is applicable, subject to the Constitution and any legislation that specifically deals with customary law." [2]
Traditional laws include polygamy, and the previous king had 6 wives and about 28 children. [3] The former president of South Africa, the openly corrupt Jacob Zuma, is a Zulu and had about 21 children. [4]
The Zulu king effectively owns 30% of the KwaZulu-Natal province, and that 30% is more land than the entire country of Rwanda. [3] [5]

If only there was a way to not have legislators that choose to cause a mass extinction and kill billions of people. If only it was possible for people to somehow choose more ethical Green legislators instead...

More than 99% of people reject Green parties, and instead keep voting for parties and politicians subsidizing a mass extinction. Would it be ethically correct for the 1% of people who don't want a mass extinction, to keep killing the omnicidal class - which the 98% will then find replacements for?
It's not just the richest 1% who are the problem - yes they cause vastly more harm than the rest, but it's also the other 98% poorest who vote for the most violent, Machiavellian, narcissists there are to rule them.
Welcome to Lemmy.
The lead actor, Peter Sellers, was also in the Pink panther movies (trailer for 1st movie) which you might also like.
My favorite Sellers movie is Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb (trailer).
