You're describing vacation, no? I have 6+ weeks of paid vacation every year. In Europe. Sure, six weeks isn't the entire summer, but with the vacation days saved from previous years (since I rarely use more than four weeks) I could easily live work free for months. Granted, my income wouldn't be mysterious...

No one who's actually used Grindr likes that app. It sucks, and not in a good way. It fills its niche, but it is a horrible app and gets worse and worse with every update.
Rant over.

wax on
Wikipedia has some actually useful units regarding it's production.
The new wax is initially clear as glass and colorless, becoming opaque after chewing and being introduced with pollen by the hive worker bees, becoming progressively yellower or browner by incorporation of pollen oils and propolis. The wax scales are about three millimetres across and 0.1 mm thick, and about 1100 are needed to make a gram of wax. Worker bees use the beeswax to build honeycomb cells. For the wax-making bees to secrete wax, the ambient temperature in the hive must be 33 to 36°C.
The book Beeswax Production, Harvesting, Processing and Products suggests one kilogram of beeswax is sufficient to store 22 kg of honey. Another study estimated that one kilogram of wax can store 24 to 30 kg of honey.

Main road to Grindavík (Iceland) is covered under lava

This is worse than Pompeii. The ancient Roman city wasn't buried under lava, but under ash, rock and boulders. While that is still very deadly, it isn't nearly as destructive as lava. That's why we can still experience Pompeii architecture, art and culture. Excavating this road, covered in solidified lava, is extremely difficult and costly. Just go over it, once it's cooled.

Of course not. Modern medicine will keep them alive. At least long enough for the frontline. Most of them will probably live well into their teens!

The Scandes, a mountain range, runs north from southern Norway along the border between Norway and Sweden. Cloud formation is much more likely on the west side of the mountains, because of all the humid air blowing in from the North sea. The sun doesn't shine through an overcast sky.

What are you on about?! Spotify innovates all the time. Almost every week I'm greeted with a new way to fuck up their app and/or service. That's impressive! 😐

Everything except hydrogen. And technically, only elements that are heavier than iron necessarily come from exploding stars. The lighter elements are made in non-exploding stars and could, at least theoretically, be distributed across the universe without a supernova.
