Wtf, I’ve never heard of this bug in my entire life, and just last week I took a picture of one. Google Lens comes up with Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, and I didn’t think it would ever run into this tidbit of info ever again.

I’ll add mine to the mix taken on my iPhone 13 mini looking through my Kowa TSN-501 spotting scope.

Never tried, but I think it would work. Oxygen is the enemy, but the reason is because oxidation leads to other byproducts that lead to a stale flavor. I believe the cold temperature slows all that down.

I only interned there, but the handful of times I thawed the chips, there were no issues.

You can freeze chips/crisps indefinitely. I used to work for Frito Lay. Just thaw them when you get close to snack time. Of course I never do this because I just eat the chips I have at home.

Extinguishers wouldn’t do much, but you may mean fire sprinklers, but that’s probably never going to be installed. You’d have to inspect, test and maintain that system, and who wants to invest time and money in that.

The bird makes a call that sounds like the word “dee”, over and over. Just as someone who runs is a runner, a bird that’s dees, is a dee-r, so it’s not deer in the sense of the animal the way you may think. At least that’s what I’ve been told. The “kill” part is a bit strange, but I’m assuming it comes from the fact that this bird will feign a broken wing to distract a predator away from their nest. All in all, I’m really not sure on the origin of the name, but that’s what I’ve learned in my last 3 years of actively being a part of the birding community.
