Parliament spending £2m a week to stop crumbling palace falling down
They should move out, turn it into a museum and set up a fit for purpose modern assembly building. Possibly somewhere like Birmingham, Leeds or Manchester.

How to deal with wasps in fallen fruit around pear tree?
I'm guessing that you're in the US and have strange rules about eliminating nature from your gardens... I'd just leave them to it. Wasps actually do a really important job and most of the time they just go about their own business. This time of year is hard for them as their preferred food has gone so they seek sugar, any sugar to survive, but the windfalls won't last forever and then the wasps themselves will also be gone until the spring.
The only time I'd deal with wasps is if there was a nest either in my house or shed, or by a door that I need to use. They're fascinating creatures when you get a chance to watch them.
Enjoy the nature, there's not much of it around nowadays.

Why don't people like Melon Tusk get tired of the shit they have to pull through literally every day ? I mean doesn't the guilt of bad decisions pull them down enough like the rest of us ?
For people like that there's no compassion, regret or remorse, it's either water under the bridge or someone else's fault.

I need to buy a fridge+freezer soon, what should I look out for?
Size: height depth width.... Can be easy to miss one dimension. Energy rating - obvious reasons Noise depending on the room it's in Ergonomics - can you reach all the bits you need to... Imagine filling it with your weekly shop. - better energy rating=more insulation=less space. Doors can generally be reversed, but check. Some FFs have two compressor circuits, others only one. Can be important if keeping it in a garage. Do you need a water cooler/ice maker thing? More to clean, more to go wrong. YOUR FRIDGE DOES NOT NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION Nor does it need funky windows & stuff Self defrost is a must. We spent ages discussing colour, now you can barely see it behind pictures & papers etc.
Think " is this a useful feature for me, or is it marketing fluff? "
Finally, while a fridge should be a long term purchase, is just a box that gets cold. Don't lose sleep over it.

They don't want to sting you.
Pick the fruit up in the earlyish morning when it's cool. Do it carefully so you're not squashing any wasps that are about and you should be fine.
Move slowly and don't 'flap'.
Unless you have health problems a couple of stings are painful, but not that bad.
Not long ago I had a Queen wasp fall into my T-shirt resulting in five stings on my back. I dosed up on antihistamines and was OK in an hour or so. - yes, the wasp was captured and safely released.
