Is there a way to have more native plants growing without increasing ticks? I just bought a house and have a couple areas it would be great to not have to maintain, but I have dogs and don't wanna have to worry about ticks.
What? As a neuroscientist: caffeine is not "technically a drug" it is a drug. And yes, people are absolutely addicted to it. That "craving" you're talking about is withdrawal and it's real. Doesn't matter if "billions*" drink it every day. It's no mental gymnastics to say that there are millions if not billions of coffee addicts. Addict is not a defined term in the psych/neuro field so I would argue that that many people who would go through withdrawal without it are all addicted.
Wtf does it matter what other drugs are out there? Not everything is a competition. Current dependence on caffeine in our society is absolutely a problem as a result of too much stress and work pressure on everyone. Caffeine is not a cure to that.
Tl;dr: Yes caffeine is objectively a drug and yes very many people are addicted to it.
Prefacing this with I don't know much about this stuff:
I just bought a house and the vent did basically this. Issue was it back drafted into the sofets and made the attic still moist and there was mold. Without knowing what you're doing I think out the roof is the best.
Check out the blf forums. Reddit also used to have a great flashlight community but I avoid that site now. There are flashlight communities on Lemmy and kbin. Cheule is a good YouTube channel to check out.
This is not the fundental attribution error. The fundamental attribution error is seeing an action from a person and assuming it is a fundamental attribute of them. Literally in the name. E.g. you seem someone being rude in public so you assume they are a rude person. Meanwhile if you are rude in public you chalk it up to being in a bad mood as a result of something that happened to you, not because you are a rude person.
How does this help you at all when buying used? The number of 15 year old cars with maintenance records at all is abysmally small. And usually it's an enthusiast car that's not gonna be reliable anyway. Being on top of tire pressure and oil changes is definitely not nearly enough to keep a car maintained for 15 years. It really sounds like you're not familiar enough with cars and just have a contrived idealistic view of the car market.
It's because it is. The short version is because it's socially acceptable for a woman to be somewhat masculine but it's not socially acceptable for a man to be feminine. A man wearing makeup, a dress, etc. stands out way more than a woman wearing a suit, jeans, etc. It is believed that this results in higher rates of transwomen. Obviously this is an oversimplified explanation, but it's the gist of it.
Earth is great to listen to if you're trying to read or write and just need to block out other noise. Apparently the guy behind the band was roommates with Curt Cobain.
It's literally an issue of them not understanding it. Most progressive policies when explained to them they agree with, they've just been taught to hate names. It's just so hard to teach people.
Personally I wouldn't want to wait that long while there's an active wildfire. You'd need hours to go even a few miles and a day+ for a full charge. Not arguing against EVs, just saying regular outlets are not the fix in this situation.
Good thing I didn't call them insects then. Unfortunately fences won't stop ticks as they jump and ticks won't respect the boundary.
