Bees are our friends. While I would be out doing my driveway chalk drawings I was often buzzed but never bitten, they're too busy with the flowers to bother with people. Very Early in the morning the first to arrive would buzz around me, I would say, ''hello'' or ''good morning'' and they would buzz over to the russian sage flowers, busy bees
@@lobsters12111 Bees don't sting you if you leave them alone. If you flap about they will. Wasps are different, they will sting you for no reason whatever.
That’s not true with the Africanized bees they’re very aggressive and I had one chase me down when I started to rain got my shirt I went in the house and it stung me on the chest And I talk to a big guy be expert and he explained the Africanized bees at the queen is an Africanized bees there’s much more aggressive they’re mean bees and they saw there are friendly bees and not so friendly bees

You can become a general practitioner vet in 4 years. If you want to specialize you have to do a year long internship and then a 3 year long residency. And for even more specialized fields like opthalogical doctors it can be extra years of residency. But generally to be like a trauma surgeon or orthopedist or dentist or dermatologist and so on and so on it’s 8 years.
The number sequence solution certainly could be 31 In fact most of the time it would be ...but it could also be 30 if the dots are spaced equally apart. In that case, the tiny triangle in the middle would no longer exist - it'd become a point. Meaning there are only 30 areas. It's not really a stable set to base a number sequence problem around. Or perhaps she could just qualify the explanation by saying: "placing dots IRREGULARLY around a circle"
2:30 I think that joke went over Holly’s head. In a perfect world, being employed as a war correspondent would mean having a job but not having to do any work.

@23:30... Jaywalking is not taking seriously at all. In fact I don't think there's any law enforcement anywhere in the country that would even bother to scold a person for jaywalking even if they even danger their lives in the process of crossing a road unsafely when there was a crosswalk less than 300 ft away or whatever the cutoff is. Sorry QI research elves but I think you made that one up.
I would agree. I don't want to say it's impossible, because almost nothing's impossible...but I've lived in multiple US states and in very differently sized towns and cities, and I've never heard of anyone being fined for jaywalking. Even in the tiny town where I grew up where it sometimes felt like the police would pull you over just to have something to do.
@@luna-p Its like their claim in another episode that in the USA we put a pickle ornament in the Christmas tree based on some apocryphal story about some POW during the American civil war...clearly SOMEOE does it cuz they have those Christmas ornaments on sale on Amazon but I've asked around on Reddit and Facebook and Quora and no one's ever responded as having heard of it.
It's just old information. No major crime of misinformation. There were parts of the country which did enforce jaywalking statutes, as recently as the 1990s. The problem is that it was really bad community relations for police forces and there was a spate of cases where some municipal police departments were found to be using the jaywalking laws as excuses to specifically target dark skinned folks.... Yeah, that old issue that never goes away.

The answer could have been anything more than 16, since the only observable pattern was the numbers were increasing.
