    In the cited study with buckets, it was shown that striped and spotted surfaces attract fewer flies.

    That makes me think if Nguni cattle Nguni cattle have an easier time with those pests.

    If yes, that would be another plus for hardy landraces in place of overengineered, capitalmaxxed breeds.







  • Well all inhabitants were pretty much thrown out or fled to Germany in fear of persecution. Then Stalin filled it up with ethnic Russians.

    They do have their own identity afaik, but it stems more from the connections they made with the neighbours: Lithuania and Poland.

    I don’t know how deep it goes, but Kaliningraders were more against the war as it inconvenienced them in doing their shopping in Lithuania.

    Btw it’s only half of East Prussia, the southern half was given to Poland.













  • It’s a programming joke. If you declare variables or set a value to a space in the storage, this space is blocked even after the programme is done using that variable. So to write a programme with efficient use of storage, you have to free the storage space after you are using it.

    Many programming languages use a routine called “garbage collector” to free unused storage space.

    So, if you don’t want to be a garbage collector, you have to assign storage space manually.
