> Plus all current treatments render the honey inedible

Formic acid is one of the few treatments which is acceptable to use while honey is present.

> If I work until I'm exhausted and find three bugs, someone might still complain later that I missed a fourth and I should have tried harder.

This is a weird take. Less bugs is less bugs, just because you maybe didn't find them all doesn't undermine the value of finding some.

SETI@home is gone but Folding@home is still very much a thing. There are currently 133 active projects: https://apps.foldingathome.org/psummary

I'd assumed that the question mark was supposed to be a degrees (°) symbol but got mangled somehow. 752F is exactly 400C

Do you write a bunch of posts and the schedule them? You put out 3 posts every single day at exactly 0800, 1200 and 1600.

Making it too easy invites spam.

Sending a single email seems like a good compromise to me.

I had the same experience. I ran it on the original Pi zero with a WiFi dongle, in the middle of a busy town. Not a single interaction.

Anyone looking for local-first smart bulbs, plugs, etc with Tasmota or ESPHome I can thoroughly recommend https://www.mylocalbytes.com/ - not affiliated in any way, just a very happy customer.

> Every time I started Chrome, it was a breath of fresh air. Everything was just slightly faster to react

Are you opening "several windows with a dozen tabs each" in Chrome? If not, then it's hardly a fair comparison.
