ai6yr, to earthquake

Two earthquakes in Newport Beach. M3.4 and M3.6. I received on-the-ground reports that it was "a bit disconcerting" and "sure as hell enough to get your attention".

Fourth earthquake in that area in the last few days. M1.6, M3.4, M3.6, M2.8.

Hmm, not sure on this swarm. Was docile in the tree, but did not like being gently swept into a box with wax.

Most swarms: "gentle sweep into box" -- "we're happy! Everyone move in! Yay!"

This one: "WTF YOU DOIN MAN! WE'RE GOING TO PING YOU IN THE HEAD! IF WE COULD GET THROUGH THAT HOOD WE'D STING YOU! GET OUTTA HERE YOU!"

(we'll reassess if they move into this box today or tomorrow... if they are friendly on a check, they get a bigger box. If they are not friendly, the queen gets squished and all the other bees will have to try to get adopted by one of our other hives)

118F at Furnace Creek, Death Valley National Park at 6/6/24 2pm. Unsure if the hottest part of the day was earlier or coming up... forecast to 121F.

Made it to 120F... was out doing other things so didn't see the last few updates.

Checked off "bought cheapest beer possible before 130pm and bicycled it home" on the bike tooter achivement list. (Edit: just for clarity, these are for my slugs, I do have a driver's license and no DUI arrest, I do own a car, and I don't drink beer.)

ps. Apparently "Old Milwaukee" is WAY cheaper, but it's completely sold out at that grocery store. And they have someone manning the extra door there, which is normally locked, but he'll ring you up and let you out the side door to save you the embarrassment of being seen by your neighbors buying very, very, very awful cheap beer before noon 😂

ai6yr, to H5N1
@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org avatar

Johns Hopkins Health Security Decoded, June 6, 2024:

"The 2022-2023 mass die off of South American elephant seals due to H5N1 occurred because the virus acquired nearly 20 mutations that allowed it to spread more efficiently among mammals and cause more severe disease, according to a preprint study. The research team’s combined ecological and phylogenetic data support the first evidence of multinational mammal-to-mammal transmission of H5N1 viruses ever observed. They also found evidence suggesting the virus jumped from sea mammals back into birds. The findings support concerns that H5N1 viruses are becoming more flexible and adapting to mammals."

Only 109F in Furnace Creek as of 11am.. possibly as high as 121F today (not sure on how often that sensor is able to update, it's sent via satellite). #DeathValleyNationalPark #NPS #heatwave #heat #CAwx
