As a local beekeeper, I take offense to your sentiment.

From reading the NPR article, it doesn’t sound like the surgical team started the procedure. They aborted before making any incisions, which is what they should have done. The Guardian headline is a touch sensationalist.
What’s horrifying is how they got all the way to the operating room before recognizing that the patient wasn’t brain dead.
The SILCA strip chip does a great job of eliminating the need for chain prep. Worth the extra cost, if you don’t want to mess around with harsh chemicals.
Waxed chains are the bees knees. I’ll never go back to using lube.
HIPAA only applies to Covered Entities. 23andMe does not meet the HHS definition of a Covered Entity.

Yep, totally agree. Just pointing out that the tech is not the enemy here, it’s the intent of the user(s). I’m a big fan of Signal, and they’ve done nothing wrong here, though to some the headline could imply that the tool is complicit here.
Depends on when you started using it, when you were served with a notice to retain, and whether you used Signal to discuss content that falls under said notice.
Either way, encryption and/or auto-delete isn’t the enemy here.
My completely uninformed guess is:
Presumably not, since the repurposed cells won’t have the same surface antigens that the immune system targets for destruction.
Not from California, but for the most part, domestic honeybees will only sting when they feel threatened. You’re more likely to be stung around a hive during a nectar dearth, when the hive is Queen-less, etc. And from what I’ve heard, some hives are just assholes (thankfully never experienced that with my own hives) and always protect themselves — but that’s almost always when you’re in close physical proximity.
If you’re getting stung on a bike, I’d say you’re either near an active hive(s), in which case you can change your route if you locate the hive, or (perhaps more likely) you aren’t getting stung by honeybees. Where I live, wasps are the more likely culprit.
You’re anecdotal pattern is pretty spot on, you’ll notice less bee/pollinator activity as daylight draws to a close. Early mornings are usually fine too. Following the flowering pattern in your region can help too — more flowers, more bees (though again, honeybees are very unlikely to sting you far from their hive), and as fall sets in, the nectar dearth starts to impact behavior.
Jacobsen Salt Co has some good ramen seasoning, but their Turmeric popcorn seasoning is where it’s at. Combines well with flavacol too.

Add me to his list of a “small but vocal cadre of angry users who are not in touch with the greater Reddit community.” What a turd.
Sad that NPR didn’t ask the tough questions.
I’ve been using it happily since making the switch. It certainly has a ways to go to be complete and bug-free, but it’s a fantastic start!
Thin skin and the inability to admit that you’re wrong aren’t great qualities to have in a CEO…
We need a beekeeping community on Beehaw! I’ll sorely miss r/beekeeping
So happy to be here, to explore, and to share with the community!
Quite happy with my life, thank you. And the bees.
