🐝 Lorsque les abeilles ne peuvent pas éliminer une menace, elles la rendent inoffensive et la neutralise.
Il arrive parfois qu’une souris s’introduise dans une ruche, attirée par la chaleur et l’odeur du miel. Les abeilles l’attaquent alors en groupe jusqu’à neutraliser l’intrus. Mais un problème subsiste : le corps est trop lourd pour être transporté hors de la ruche.
Et c’est là qu’intervient l’un des comportements les plus fascinants du monde animal.
Pour éviter que le cadavre ne se décompose et ne contamine toute la colonie, les abeilles le recouvrent entièrement de propolis, une résine naturelle qu’elles récoltent sur les arbres. Cette substance possède de puissantes propriétés antibactériennes et antifongiques.
Peu à peu, le corps se dessèche, se conserve et devient totalement inoffensif pour la ruche.
Ce phénomène, observé par les scientifiques et les apiculteurs, est considéré comme l’un des exemples les plus impressionnants d’hygiène collective chez les insectes sociaux.
Hackers leave infected USB drives in parking lots.
It's called USB baiting.
The attack works like this:
A threat actor drops 5 or 10 USB drives in a parking lot, lobby, or bathroom near a target company. sometimes labeled "Layoff List" or "Top Secret" sometimes no label at all. just a drive on the ground.
Someone picks it up. takes it inside. plugs it in.
The drive auto-runs. installs a keylogger, backdoor, or ransomware loader. The attacker is now inside the network.
How well does it work?
IBM ran a test. dropped 200 USBs across various locations. 98% were picked up. of those, 45% were plugged in within minutes.
Almost half within minutes.
The most famous real-world example: Stuxnet, the malware that physically destroyed Iran's nuclear centrifuges. It got inside an air-gapped facility via a USB drive dropped in a parking lot.
Never plug in a USB you didn't buy yourself. ever. regardless of where you found it. regardless of what it says on the label.
If you found one hand it to IT don't plug it in just to see what's on it.
Curiosity is the attack vector.
RIP comedian Tom Dreesen, who died at age 86 today. He was on Johnny Carson 61 times. I knew him via FOA, the secret group of non-leftists working in Hollywood who loved America and supported its military; secret until Obama’s IRS and the NYTimes conspired to reveal and destroy it.
Here he is on Carson in the 1980s goofing on politics. At the end of this clip, he discusses the energy crisis and illegal immigration. He was ahead of his time.
Scotland’s highest civil court has ruled that the SNP’s policy of allowing some biologically male trans prisoners to serve their sentences in female jails is unlawful.

I'm kinda starting to wonder if the person has moderate-to-severe dyslexia.
It's not a condition I know a lot about, but I've heard its effects often are mistaken for being mentally slow.
I don't know how I can be much clearer without restating things in a different way.
You're claiming I don't understand it, but I have not even said anything about it beyond explaining how it's irrelevant to what I have been talking about.
I have not provided you with anything on which to judge my understanding of it.
Because I have had neither the need nor interest in it to do so.

once again, people think of homelessness as a money problem when it’s a mental health and drug addiction problem

@Soyouarethatguy Again...
It's irrelevant to me.
I don't care about it.
It has absolutely no bearing on what I've been talking about.

In fact, I did not say that I didn't understand them.
I said they are irrelevant and personally unimportant.
Do YOU understand what "irrelevant" means?
You're hanging your opinion on something that doesn't exist.
I have as much need to understand them as I need to understand the exact molecular composition of a random leaf on the ground.
Because they're irrelevant.
Apart from the garden, none of that has anything to do with the meme I'm talking about.
Why would I need to prove anything in that?
The meme is comparing the garden to the event.
That's it. That's all I am or have ever been talking about.
Why do you feel the need to present some other comparison that has no bearing on anything I've been talking about?
Trying to further distract from your inability to answer the one simple question?
