BBC News - Warning after 250 million bees escape overturned truck in US

I'm currently trying to get in better shape and to that end have started dieting and cycling in my local area. For motivation, I've decided to try to 'virtually' cycle from John O'Groats (henceforth JOG) in the north of Scotland to Land's End (LE) in the south of England.

To do this, I measure how far I cycle each day (locally) and record my progress, which I then use to map where I would be on the route Google Maps recommends for cycling (I'm handwaving altitude comparisons because it's just for fun).

Ok, so - Maps says the recommended cycling route from JOG to LE is 965 miles. Fine. I've covered 21.1 miles so far (I've only just started and am not very fit).

Now, on the full 965 mile route, that 21.1 miles gets me to a small village called Haimer. However, if I ask Maps to plot me a route from JOG to Haimer, Maps says it's only 18.7 miles.

I've tried the same thing with other towns on the route, and the same is true there too - there's a roughly 10% disparity, even though the route being plotted is identical. A few yards here or there I could understand, but a 10% difference?? FFS.

This is a sort of comedy western, based around a high stakes poker game. I saw it years ago and loved it. Truth be told, I can't remember a great deal more about it, and don't want to spoil it for myself by looking it up, but I definitely remember enjoying it a lot.

I unironically LOVE the music in Mitchell, and was hoping I could find it, ideally on vinyl. But I can't find any evidence that it was ever released - anyone happen to know if it was?

So, even if you had been immune, through previous illness, vaccination or via maternal milk, you may not be anymore after having measles.

I had never heard this until today, and it's an absolutely horrifying thought.

You're welcome.

Turns out there is beer on the sun if you wait long enough.

~~Josh~~ Brandon Allan will start at QB.

Packers game already looked tough, this just feels like another kick in the teeth.

Wish this season would just end tbh.

Well, that's a bit awkward...

"Coote was the video assistant referee when a challenge by the Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on Virgil van Dijk that left the Liverpool defender with an anterior cruciate ligament injury went unpunished."

"Coote also drew the ire of Klopp as the VAR for the 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Arsenal last December after an apparent handball in the box by Martin Ødegaard did not lead to a penalty."

Per this thread, I'm wondering if it might be possible to create feeds of favourited people or communities.

I guess this would be similar to how multireddits worked and since that's not available on Lemmy, this might not be either. But maybe some smart person out there knows of a way.

It's not even me that wants to do it, but I'm invested in an answer now! :-)

He made a huge mistake.

Returning to practice a month and a half after getting shot? Goddamn...

Love it when this happens to the clouds. Purple and red and yellow and on fire...
