I do use alcohol to help kill roaches. Different kind, of course. I know it's mean, but I can often squirt them with it easier than I can get to them. Once they are wet with alcohol they're disoriented (I'm sure writhing in pain, unfortunately), and I can put them out of their misery. The alcohol is also nice because disinfects.

Wasn't the issue with Indominus rex that the dinosaur tricked them into thinking it was gone and they left the door open, like idiots? Definitely some things in those movies are engineering issues, but it mostly was a problem because there were multiple points of failure in the system. This is the point I make about my work. My department catches behavior problems from reports, discussions, interviews, and providing technical assistance. We do tons of work regularly and there are overlapping ways to catch the same problem. When my department is given more work and no new staff, they can't stay on top of everything. They still catch things because the work they are able to do usual catches one of the multiple opportunities. With enough workload added on eventually you end up missing something. When the stakes are life and death, you have multiple layers of protection programmed into the system.

And your cats would eat you if they could. I've had cats gnaw on my fingers and toes, like they were seeing if that would work. Cats are actually worse than dinosaurs, and modern birds, and reptiles, because they usually stop killing when they're full.

1. The immigrants are here illegally vs.
2. The deporting is illegal

For that money, you can buy actual air filtration units. The box fan may be noisy, but something that big is going to have massive surface area and provide a lot of filtration.

And potentially also a banishing.

Phones can also video call, lead you to just about anywhere you want to go on the planet, and store millions of pictures/videos/writings of a person's personal history. Unprecedented.

Did you watch Iron Man 3, too? Just don't go full-Killian.

But where do you get your supply? That's the creepy question.

Fra-gee-lay, must be Italian!

I've had my Pixel 5 since around the time the 6 came out. The battery life isn't great, but I can get by just fine. Maybe Samsung phone batteries are better, but before this I had a Samsung Galaxy. The battery on that was no better. I know this is anecdotal, but I don't plan to switch when my 5 croaks.

Yes, when I was young we had an outdoor cat for like 8-10 years. She had litter after litter of kittens (my parents should have gotten her spayed, or course, but it just didn't happen). One day she didn't come home, which was unusual for her. So, we went looking for her and called out to her. We eventually gave up for the night. We didn't see her the next day, and couldn't find her. A few days later when still looking for her, we spotted her. There were a couple of wooden lots between us and the next neighbor. She was on their porch sitting on their patio furniture. We took her home and gave her love and food. The next day she was gone. She was back at the neighbor's. We just left her because it was clear she was where she wanted to be. She knew how to get back to my house, but she was already home--it just wasn't mine. It was sad, but we weren't going to restrain her. The neighbors didn't mind. So, she got to retire.

We all knew that was a lie for most of them. They just didn't have the power or public support. It's not that they have more support now, but the support is way more public.

Or less, depending on species.

Nah. It'd be like it is on a poorly made video game.

Sure, but if we had to pick one, I'd say microwave. Deepfry is enjoyed by all, but mostly a southern thing.

I'm American. We choose microwaving.

Trump does ceasefires like Michael Gary Scott does bankruptcy.

Nice work, mate. Good on ya! (I'm watching Bluey with my kids right now) Looks like I've been outdated.

Well, the rest of Americans need to wake tf up. It's going to take most of us to right the ship. Fuck the rich, fuck the racists/sexists/homophobes/etc., and fuck any MAGAts who somehow aren't covered by the previous.

Yes, they're working back to plantations.
