Yeah. I hate to be that guy but since this is sort of related to my job and this is a science community: this is an Aedes Species. Scutal markings are not fully visible but I'd go with Aedes aegypti. They don't transmit Malaria. They'd be your Yellow Fever, Dengue or Chikungunya Bros, though. Malaria, at least those variants that are pathogenic to humans are almost exclusively transmitted by species from the genus Anopheles.

I'm glad they take the time and confirm that the EU's defense plans are the correct decision.

Wild garlic (Allium ursinum, German: Bärlauch) is a native plant and not invasive in Germany. It's not like it's everywhere as it usually needs alluvial, deciduous forests but common enough that most locals usually know a spot or two. It may look like lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis, German: Maiglöckchen) or autumn crocus (Colchicum autumnale, German: Herbstzeitlose) which are both poisonous but that's not the reason why you're not allowed to pick large amounts. The Federal Nature Protection Law (Bundesnaturschutzgesetz, see paragraph 39 for details) forbids the collection of any wild plants or animals, independent of their protection status to disturb natural processes as little as possible. However certain exemptions are possible, think hunting, fishing, or the collection of wild herbs for example. While the former two require a license and are restricted to certain area or seasons, the latter is limited by the amount you may take. It explicitly states to only take amounts that are for personal use and that commercial collection is prohibited. It's obviously to prevent overexploitation. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon that naturally occurring stocks of wild herbs, mushrooms or berries are used up and destroyed by illegal and unsustainable usage. Also, yes wild herbs are commercially grown on farms but as you can imagine, they don't come cheap at all.

Zwei oder mehr Strompreis-Zonen in Deutschland würden das schnell regeln. Grüße von der Küste.

And they released a concept study, too:

I openly call for the end of the Heritage Foundation. Regards, an EU citizen.

Because there's a whole range of processes involved in whether or not a pathogen can infect an organism (mode of transmission, various barriers including immune response, etc.) and a whole different range that determines whether or not an infected organism can spread a pathogen (mode of transmission again, viral load, vector capacity and competence, etc). For instance: assume the pathogen can infect an organism but can't replicate often enough to reach the required viral load in the host to spread further via it's usual mode of transmission. We'd end up with a dead end host instead of a pathogen reservoir/vector and the chain of infection would stop right there. That can be seen in the West Nile Virus for example when it infects humans or horses instead of it's normal host: birds. I don't know enough about influenza to tell whether that's a thing here or not but I hope it clarifies why infections are often not that straight forward especially if they involve zoonotic events.

Kein Problem. Dann muss Arbeitszeit auch nicht zum arbeiten genutzt werden.

Hawking was probably way more familiar with the works, achievements and maybe even personal anecdotes of everyone in this post than I could ever hope to be. Thus, sitting down with him feels like the best deal.

Prima, dann werden direkt Flächen für die Bundeswehr und europäische Partner frei, die betroffenen Gemeinden verlieren die Einwohner nicht und wir müssen keine Naturschutzgebiete umwidmen. Letztere sind nämlich oft frühere Truppenübungsplätze. Für alle ein Gewinn (außer vielleicht für die transatlantische Partnerschaft).

Unfortunately, the most American thing this girl had ever heard of is also strongly affecting white-tailed sea eagles and other raptors in Germany and neighboring countries. Choose lead free ammo, folks. https://www.bund.net/...

Have grazing animals on natural meadows instead of artificially sown lawn and you'll not only have the trimming taken care of but also support a variety of plant and animal life under your panels. Sheep and bunnies for example are ideal for the job, don't you think RamRabbit :-)

Did you know that mozzie males find their mate via the wing beat frequency? Yes, the annoying zzzzzzzz that keeps you up at night is like a love song to the males and once they are close enough to their desired mozzie lady, they imitate the frequency. If they hit "the right tune" they may approach. Otherwise, the females kick them with their hind legs... looks cute as hell in my opinion.

Hey hey hey. Das find ich jetzt aber schon etwas verkürzt dargestellt... Immerhin geht es auch oft um den Abbau von Umwelt- und Arbeitnehmerschutz

"Rechte Satire" ist wie "rechter Akademiker/Intellektueller", ein Widerspruch in sich. Beides braucht höchste Beobachtungsgabe, Abstraktion zur Mustererkennung und eine kluge Interpretation derselben unter Berücksichtigung dessen, was bereits von anderen dokumentiert wurde. Es ist also beides an mehr oder weniger messbare Fakten gebunden. Rechtes Sprücheklopfen ist daher keine "Satire" selbst wenn man es so nennt, wie auch "rechte Akademiker/Intellektueller", unabhängig von dem Schildchen das man dranhängt.

Thank you, I really needed some good news today.

Das ist so nicht ganz richtig: der Erreger, das Sindbis-Virus (SINV), zirkuliert schon lange in Deutschland, vor allem zwischen der Gemeinen Hausmücke (Culex pipiens) und kleineren Singvögeln. Neu ist ein symptomatischer Verlauf des Sindbis-Fiebers. Das kommt übrigens vor allem in Nordeuropa und Russland schon lange regelmäßig und zyklisch vor und heißt regional Karelien- (Russland), Pogosta- (Finnland) oder Ockelbo-Fieber (Schweden). Hat also zunächst erstmal ausnahmsweise nichts mit invasiven (Tiger-) Stechmücken, Klimawandel oder ähnlichem zu tun. Details dazu im Ärzteblatt

True because cities have parks, roads, rivers, business, industrial or municipal areas that can't or shouldn't be used for housing. But there are neighborhoods almost as dense. Yorkville in NYC has more than 60.000 inhabitants per square kilometer. 160 acres is about 0.65 square kilometers.
