I never squash spiders. They're either my buddies and they catch insects that get into the house, or they're entirely too large to squash; they'd make a mess. If my wife sees a spider and gets scared, I put it outside. It helps that there are no (common) venomous spiders where I live.
Mosquitos, crane flies, flies, and wasps are all fair game though.
H5N1 has a 90% to 100% fatality rate in chickens according to the CDC. Either the chickens are killed by farmers before the virus spreads more, or the virus will kill the chickens.
~~Trader Joe's is a subsidiary of Aldi. I'm not sure how that relationship works in regards to labor relations, but if this person wants to avoid Trader Joe's for moral reasons, they might want to avoid Aldi too. ~~
I was wrong, they're different companies that split from the same original company. Thanks for the corrections.
There's no way it's intentional. If you're not familiar with the phrase "white power" in a racist context, the product description is perfectly accurate and reasonable. It took me a few seconds to figure out the problem, so if someone is unfamiliar then there's no way they'll identify the problem.
I would assume the older washing machines with a big metal or plastic agitator in the drum would be much, much harder on clothes than modern front loading washers. Modern washers just toss the clothes around to agitate, rather than using a big hunk of material to do it. That being said, I think some modern washers run longer cycles than old ones, so it could be a toss up as to which causes the most wear.
How is improving the specs of a standard a scam? It's not like a phone that entices people to buy them with new "features" of questionable utility. Cables are boring! Most people don't buy HDMI cables for fun; they probably only buy them when they get a new device or when an existing cable dies. And even then, who is going to shell out for an expensive version of a cable that they won't utilize its capabilities? Most people buy whatever is cheapest.
Tell the time, the date, and act as a stop watch according to the manufacturers website. My $250 watch does all that and it looks better.
I can totally understand buying a nice/expensive watch, they look nice, the feel nice, they're accurate, they can do cool stuff. I don't understand buying a watch that costs more than most cars cost, especially if it only does the most basic watch features.
Pill pockets are the only way we can get our cat to take her pills. But we've had to put the pills into little gelatin capsules and wrap those in pills pockets because the pills are bitter. If my cat gets a taste of the bitter pills and the pill pocket, she'll never eat the pill pocket flavor again.
That's one thing I'm putting some hope in. Tariffs and stupid shit like Worm Boy running our national health infrastructure into the ground benefit no one. Not big companies, not us little guys. I'd hope these big companies will lobby hard to mitigate the stupidity that is bearing down on us.
Why would the WGBH logo give people nightmares? That thing was my childhood. We lived off of PBS shows. Arthur, Zoom, Between the Lions, NOVA, Frontline, Masterpiece, etc.
