ESNs forced to work on their employer brand

After years of strong appeal despite reputedly dehumanized managerial practices, digital service companies (ESN) are increasingly faced with recruitment issues with a growing shortage of talent. Faced with this new situation, ESNs must change their strategy and work on their employer brand by focusing their communication on well-being at work and personal development. Some ESNs, like CAPFI, did…

Is it a myth that honeybees die they sting you? How come honeybees haven’t evolved to not die when they sting? Are there advantages to dying after stinging? Also what’s with bees and dying after woohoo?

1. Bee stingers

I’ve answered these questions more in-depth a while ago so here are some links to them:

How do honey bee stingers work?

How come bees can sting only once?

Why did they evolve like that?

But for a quick recap it’s because honey bee stingers are barbed compared to other bees and wasps. Honey bee can sting multiple times when it comes to other insects but in mammalian skin the barbs catch and they rip the internal organs from the bee killing it. They’ve evolved this way because their stingers have a ratchet mechanism that continues to pump more venom into an animal, which is why you want to try removing the stinger if you’ve been stung asap but by scraping it off using a flat surface like a credit card, if you pinch the stinger you’ll just squeeze the venom sack and push the rest of the venom into you anyways.

The ripped out stingers also admin alarm pheromones so other worker bees will know to attack to defend the hive. It makes sense to evolve this way as worker bees can’t lay fertilised eggs so their fittness is low and worker bees outside of the hive are usually much older bees. Sacrificing these workers is worth it to protect the hive and queen.

2. Bee mating

Here is a previous ask I’ve answered on honey bee mating

why do drone’s penises explode?

But another quick recap it’s because drones are very very expandable. They only thing they’ll ever do is mate with a virgin queen. They have no other role in the hive beyond that so it makes sense for them to die. A lot of male insects die once they mate.

Here’s what a drones’ endophallus and tests look like. They die because of the force of their ejaculation in order to ensure their semen gets up into the queens’ oviduct. The force causes their genitals to explode.

Are there any words in Basque that are similar to their Spanish counterpart but aren’t just direct loan words?

Kaixo!

Sorry @capfie, the app posted it without reply!

Yes, mostly the ones that came from Latin but had a different evolution than Spanish. This fact is what leads to many ignorant Basquephobes to state that Basque has such a poor vocabulary that it takes Spanish words and tweaks them a bit 🙄. Here you have some examples:

denarium (Lat) - diru (Bq) - dinero (Spa) [money]

sigillum (Lat) - zigilu (Bq) - sello (Spa) [stamp]

anatis (Lat) - ahate (Bq) - ánade (Spa) [duck]

cerasii (Lat declensed) - gerezi (Bq) - cereza (Spa) [cherry]

caepula (Lat) - tipula (Bq) - cebolla (Spa) [onion]

castellum (Lat) - gaztelu (Bq) - castillo (Spa) [castle]

pulius (Lat) - oilo (Bq) - pollo (Spa) [chicken]

spatha (Lat) - ezpata (Bq) - espada (Spa) [sword]

sartaginis (Lat) - zartagina (Bq) - sartén (Spa) [frying pan]

fikus (Lat) - piku (Bq) - higo (Spa) [fig]

etc.

Also, some words that come directly from Arabic, just like in Spanish:

al-qadi (Ar) - alkate (Bq) - alcalde (Spa) [mayor]

sukkar (Ar) - azukre (Bq) - azúcar (Spa) [sugar]

Who wants to be my friend? I promise to only mention James Joyce once per day And Sylvia twice Who wants to be my friend? I have a nice DVD collection And nicer eyes My smile is crooked--uneven But I will share it just the same I am appreciative that you would read this Appreciative that you exist altogether I have no enemies But I can adopt yours Not in the sense of raising them Unless that is what you want In that case I will raise your enemies to be brave and kind I don't know what you want, so I will ask In an endless universe of nothingness Who wants to be my friend? We have so much in common Living as carbon particles in an infinite dance And we could go dancing Just as friends, I promise Who wants that? A promise and a poem A cosmic dancing partner and a friend

Who Wants to be My Friend
