we are seeing a resurgence of New World Screwworms. We eradicated it in the US in 1966, however, we have since seen a resurgence. Basically we used sterile males to make sure no new worms would be born in the US but thats a big border, so we worked with Mexico and other north and Central American countries to push it down past panama. Unfortunately when republicans find out we are spending money fighting disease in other countries, they think why help them? and kill funding. So now we are going to have to spend a shitload more money to defend our wide ass border, rather than a fraction of the cost defending a natural border.

I suspect most adults have some coping mechanisms built up so its often harder to separate out the basic problems. Children offer a ‘cleaner’ study, so that is what they focus on.

I have to say my 6 year old has a lot of symptoms. I started giving her melatonin to help her sleep and a lot of the behavioral issues have gotten a lot better.

I’m not trying to say its a cure all, but I was surprised how well it helps her sleep, and how many (I thought) unrelated issues have improved.

Simple fillets vs these obnoxious complex curves. Yeah I’m right there with you.

yeah, the back end is the scarier part. I don’t think conservapedia actually added that much content, it just copied Wikipedia and edited the parts they cared about. Automating that, while helpful, isn’t that big a deal IMO. Disseminating the resultant bullshit (with a hint of plausibility) is where the nightmares begin.

This isn’t the first time they have tried this

We got the kids tablets for long car rides too. We let them use them as a reward. PBS Kids games and Epic (books) are good compromises.

I didn’t get to get a lot of comics as a kid. I got punisher because they tended to be more insular. I borrowed friends/relatives Carnage comics but never got to finish the run. I couldn’t get into fantastic 4 partly because there were so many iterations, and some of those I would get the lecture of ‘well you really gotta start here and this references this story line from 5 years ago’.

Punisher was simple action and tended to have shorter story lines.

I use this with moderate success. I think my limited success is the nature of the creek constantly cycling out water.

In the US they can be bought as mosquito bits/dunks https://summitchemical.com/products/mosquito-bits/

It is important to note this is not a poison. It is a naturally occurring bacteria that is harmless to the food chain (Bacillus thuringiensis). That is important to me and, I think, a lot of others.

Is that the type they put in turon? I love those things.

Kinda makes me think of Filipino spaghetti. Banana ketchup and hotdogs! Actually not as bad as it sounds.

It’s not likely they would. The US did some fucked up stuff, but (in this case) didn’t try to hide it…

the pardon is for tax and gun charges, right? no drug charges?

at this point I don’t give a fuck, I just don’t want to hear the words “democrat” and “strategist” in the same sentence anymore.

Lol

I’m not a programmer but I have at least one double booking every day. Some weeks look like a brick wall sideways (they seem to always overlap by a half hour for some reason).

They fundamentally solve the Topo-Naming-Problem I propose to try again after the next release.

Are they settled on an assembly workbench yet?
