What if you used a flamethrower as a snowblower?

[Paul Farquhar]

Flamethrowers were used to clear some of the 8 inches of snow that fell on Washington D.C. on the eve of Kennedy's inauguration courtesy of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Also effective against rough sleepers.

They need to equip the bees with flamethrowers.

That's in a tree, in a forest.

I got your "unintended consequences" right here.

This is possibly the most idiotic, irresponsible thing I've seen since...well, we live in the era of idiotic irresponsibility, so maybe since yesterday. But still!

Impressive, and bald faced hornets are indeed drops of crystalized hate. That's a damp forest. The undergrowth didn't catch, but it looks like at the end that tree is in a bit of trouble. The hive post-treatment is quite crispy, and it seems like it's at the base of the tree. I can only assume it didn't go up like a torch or there's a second drone with fire suppression.

I don't usually endorse the could / should question, but this does seem like an applicable instance.

Better than this gender reveal. But, there is no test to have children, at least you need a drone license.

Sad anecdote about how awful one's parents can become:

When the news about that fire being the result of a gender reveal party came out, my (now-deceased) father went off on a public tirade at a restaurant we'd gone too as a rare family gathering. In his willful, hateful ignorance, he'd decided that a "gender reveal" was something related to LGBTQA+ matters and wouldn't stop going on and on about it. My sister was shaking so hard she couldn't speak, and I got to be the guy who had to explain what it really meant and get him to shut up. Last time either of us went out in public with him. He didn't apologize even on his deathbed.
