More well known is the macabre cannibalism of female praying mantises. Mantises are large carnivorous insects. They normally eat smaller insects such as flies, but they will attack almost anything that moves. When they mate, the male cautiously creeps up on the female, mounts her, and copulates. If the female gets the chance, she will eat him, beginning by biting his head off, either as the male is approaching, or immediately after he mounts, or after they separate. It might seem most sensible for her to wait until copulation is over before she starts to eat him. But the loss of the head does not seem to throw the rest of the male’s body off its sexual stride. Indeed, since the insect head is the seat of some inhibitory nerve centres, it is possible that the female improves the male’s sexual performance by eating his head. If so, this is an added benefit. The primary one is that she obtains a good meal.

@sally @Suiseiseki Why does apt needs to be written in rust? It works fine now. :-(

Downloading the Conversations and F-droid apk so that I can share them with friends, but f-droid servers are really slow.

I bought a standard deck of cards, and I'm trying to learn games with it. So far, I've learned crazy 8 which is inspired Uno?I've also tried to learn bridge? But it looks complicated so it'll take time.

@meeper > I know like one friend who'd even know what an XMPP is tho tbhThey didn't know what it was before they met me. I told them that I'm not available on Whatsapp but on Quicksy app from play store. If they install Quicksy then we are golden. Otherwise I call, or email them to get notifications from them. After some time, these people also install Quicksy. Meanwhile I also try to make friends with lots of other classmates, and spend a lot of effort in maintaining good friendship with my existing friends.You may feel like that you'll miss important news, but you somehow find out.I'm using this method since my undergrad days. And now I'm doing post grad.

@sally No. The kernel distributed by Trisquel is not exactly Linux-libre distributed by FSFLA, even though it cleans non-free software from Linux (using linux libre scripts), it still retains kernel's ability to load blobs if user provides them.So, I can ask friends what they want after explaining the situation, and then do whatever they choose.

Workman is great but I think I need to relearn Qwerty again. Is it possible to memorize two layout at the same time?
