So piracy is at worst not even a problem, and at best it's free advertisement.

Bumblebees may seem like passive, cuddly, and docile creatures, but they won’t hesitate to defend themselves if they feel as if their warnings aren’t being read or taken seriously.

I.e. the photo and diagram below, when a bee feels threatened they will raise one or more of their legs into the air, signaling to whatever or whomever may be bothering them as a message essentiality saying: “hey, back off, too close!”

species pictured: bombus pascuorum, bombus impatiens

If their defensive posture goes unnoticed or ignored, they may be pushed into defending themselves by stinging (which is also a stressful experience for not only one such as yourself, but also for the bee.) If you ever find yourself getting close to a bumblebee while taking pictures, walking close to them, or just admiring them, remember this posture! If a bee does this, it is simply asking you to take a step back as it feels it is being threatened.

These fucking techbros are so fucking childish. "Let's rebuild the twin towers as AI Bots With Lasers" is the most 8 year old idea I've ever heard.

You get a Sea Mullet

She's fat and gets the guy and no one bats an eye.

She's fat and the hottest chick in the sorority and that's normal.

She's fat and an actress and she gets good roles.

She's fat and she's funny and she has character depth and growth.

She's fat and the main character and no one mentions her weight once.

The double-stacked bricks with the line across them (one pair is half a brick over to the right of the bottom of the lower window pane) are called Shadow-Tex, at least in the part of USamerica where I learned about bricks. Aa far as I know, Belden Brick is the only company in this area that makes that texture and shape. Below is one of Belden's shadow-tex brick in a color that would work here. Maybe I'll do a separate post to explain how shadow-tex bricks are made, because it's neat. They are usually at least 11 inches long, so you'd have to cut them to make them match the length of the others (7 5/8" if the building was built in the last 35ish years, maybe 8" if it was built before that).

The rest could probably be matched with Acme Brick's Mission Trace, though king size might not work.

If mixing Belden's shadow-tex romans and Acme's Mission Trace kings is too much work, you could conceivably use General Shale's New Foundland bricks by themselves. The bark texture on some of the bricks in this blend (blended from different lines at the plant) could kinda match the shadow-tex brick from afar.

Oh and the piece above the window is called a lintel, pronounced like the legume. Concrete lintels are reinforced with rebar, so they can hold the weight of a brick veneer!
