We got roaches from an Amazon package, I suspect. My wife and I are both compulsively clean people, but we live in an older place so there is ostensibly decades worth of random organic material around to sustain roach colonies. It started one spring with seeing some instars around the kitchen every few days and then it became full roaches about a week later. I did not take it seriously at first and just treated with hardware store sprays and powders. This was insufficient.

What eventually worked was baits and a little chemical called Alpine WSG. I bought a sprayer and basically coated the entire house in it twice, six weeks apart. We have not seen a single roach since then. I respray once per year just in case.

Also, boric acid doesn’t work with German roaches. It is a waste of time. If you solved roach problem with that or diatomaceous earth, then you had a entry problem, not an infestation.

We also had racoons breeding in our attic at one point, which is a very awkward situation because I felt bad trapping them so I just waited for them to leave and then sealed where they were getting in.

This better not awaken anything in me.

Fangs are still pretty rare in reptiles. Most lizards have basically some form of serrated beak.

78 during the day is fine depending on the humidity. The real trick of AC is that it brings the humidity down so if it is like 90 out and the AC is running to hit 78 then it is fine. But if it’s like 83 so the AC barely runs then 78 starts to feel sticky and unpleasant.

Let me summarize:

“Gen Z was a mistake”

This entire comment feels like brain rot to me

Sexuality isn’t binary or static. The “debate” isn’t whether or not it can change over time, or given some stimulus, but whether it’s some kind of lifestyle choice. Whether or not you were born with some gay gene, or whether it was an environmental trigger, or something in between isn’t really relevant to the discussion over whether you deserve basic human rights.

Same. If I am in a good sleep routine, I consistently wake up about 10 minutes before the alarm goes off, especially in the spring and summer. In winter I am somewhat more likely to immediately fall back asleep because I don’t hear the birds chirping.

This. It should be automatic, and you can’t have perfect awareness to always know with 100% certainly if there is another vehicle or pedestrian around which may benefit from that information.

Meh then you wasting like 4x the water.

I used to work at an office where about 200 people shared two urinals, and by lunchtime the entire floor around the urinals would be sticky and brown from the continued cycles of people walking through and adding to the stray spray.

I will sit when every toilet is elongated enough to not risk rubbing my junk on the rim.

It’s because people stand too far back from the urinal, and then shake it like they are trying to kill it. Get in there, and then finish with a gentle squeeze or two and you won’t splatter everywhere.

Can confirm. I was super straight until I locked eyes with that tall dark and handsome TSA agent on the other side of the machine. Sounds like this dude has a similar story.

Stop. Get some help.

I didn’t learn that adults don’t stand to wipe until I was like 17
