[Pic] Cleaning your BBQ for Summer


Recommended Posts

all it takes is google the picture of a bee ?????!??

we are all IT pros here still no one knows how to use google to find what insect is living in his BBQ??

It took those bees years and years to form a stable healthy colony, I hope the OP enjoyed his BBQ knowing this.

look like a bit of the US attitude.. you go for extermination before actually plugging in the brain..

What was he supposed to do?

Call a Bee keeper.

Call a bee keeper, he would have removed them for free. Also the bees would be put to good use in agricultural lands which need them and everyone could enjoy some sweet honey :)

Exactly.

The majority of honey bees are not dangerous and this despicable act was truly unnecessary. Wouldn't it have been so much better to have pictures of a bee keeper actually removing the colony? I'm guessing the person was after; shock and awe. People that do these types of things are really capable of much worst and most likely have.

Agreed. If he felt brave, he could have even attemted this himself.

My dad used to work with bees and once had to go in to a shed that had a huge infesteation of Bees. He walked in with the gear on, found the center of the hive and pumped it full of the sleepy stuff. Then he put his hand in and felt around for the queen. He took the queen and carried her to a new hive he had for her at the keepers grounds and put her in there. The other bees turned up about 3 hours later and the shed was empty, other than a few that hung around, which they where able to erradicate with normal pest control substances.

What this guy just did was really not needed at all :no:

ok, so you took out some bees, wasted some good honey, you may still be able to use the wax for a candle or something, but NOW you have to clean all the chemicals off the BBQ before it is fit for using.... good luck with that, that stuff sticks.

This mans got a point.

I think your question has been answered a few times!

Totally agree with your sentiment! This sort of horrific attitude, towards living creatures that are doing what they were intended to do, makes me sick to the core! I am actually sorry that I saw this!

thats like a 500+ kill streak

M-M-M-M-Multi KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!

All those people attacking him for that should stfu, you have no right to crucify this man for providing me with such ENTERTAINMENT!

It may have been better for the environment if he called some bee keepers.

But all this stuff about not knowing whats killing the bees, Hate to burst your worry bubble but they already know its a parasite, and only stubborn bee farmers now are the ones not willing to use the parasite killer.

I was on an ORGANIC bee farm, and yes there is a "deemed" organic repellent for this!

Being as I was only interested in getting honey I don't remember what it was called if I was even told, so don't go askin :D.

Zab, Out.

    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
