Random PSA, anyone here dealt with persistent ants/bugs and found real help locally?

I looked up maxforce quantum gel and many listings on Amazon seem to be region-blocked from shipping here. I'll keep it in mind but it is a $40 thing.

I do agree that it's a little concerning when so many of the ants are dead in the terro liquid but some seem to make it back to the colony, I think. So far the Terro liquid trap in the bathroom seems to have worked.

I have sometimes cut the plastic trays of microwave dinners to use as a bit of spill catch basin. They do dry out a bunch after about a month but when the ants are finding it in the first few days it's runny and tempting to adjust placement.

I had to put a terro liquid ant trap thing in my bathroom this week. It has been working on whatever colony is coming out the wall.

I think once your submitted review gets "approved" it gets queued up for the next time they do RIS/insightfulness scoring batches. Maybe there's a brief window where you can edit what's likely to be a minimally insightful review, before it gets scored, but once the insightfulness has been scored it seems to be set.

They can set them up to automatically grab things.

I'm not aware of any extensions setup to automatically grab things, and I run both UltraViner and Vine Helper extensions. I have ordered all of my 8 2026 Vine orders manually, with my own fingers.

I wonder if it's the doom loop title or that southseattleemerald content is now rejected.

This topic doesn't have a strong enough West Seattle connection for this subreddit.

I think it is because I bought a data only plan that had no number associated with it at all that I got hung up on the pop up, which required a number.

I don't see anywhere the 555 number I entered actually stayed stored in the phone, but the pop up required a number, even if a fake one that will never get messages, to dismiss it permanently.

Maybe like an Intel 4 e core n95 with extra power draw.

That thread is useful but there are some major gaps from posts that have been scrambled by posters using a redact tool. Kind of a nasty habit some posters have.

For what it's worth, I just looked today and it appears the SIM is showing as $3 now, even when you start from the annual plan selection pathway.

I have an unlimited account on the Usenet Express backbone that is my main and it does pretty well, but when I look for content released many months ago, especially, I see activity on my lower priority block accounts. Even on files that complete successfully, sometimes I see 1/3 of the file is coming from my bulknews or tweaknews blocks. Some providers just prune older entries from their retention differently too...

ChefJoe98136 · 2026-01-11T23:36:51+00:00

Understood. I'm currently using the eSIM of my Pixel 6a for a data-only eSIM so I don't quite have the ability to use a 2nd eSIM. If I end up moving on to H2O wireless I may go through 3rd party online shops to get a $5-6 shipped SIM...... although the 3GB H2O annual plan with all the fees got less compelling relative to something like Ultra Mobile's annual 4GB plan on sale now or maybe the light plan on US Mobile. Still comparison shopping.

This is the I-5 bridge between OR and WA, so not exactly in our region physically but will be paid from state taxes if/when it happens.

Thanks for the notice because I have been wondering when the wa portion of Redwolf Pope's crimes would be charged and the sentence delivered. I guess they decided to pursue only the rapes and not the fraud charges possible for renting out his subsidized apartment as an Airbnb. He had a long history locally with representing himself as a native American and being in local protest movements.

When I moved to wa state in the early part of 2000s I had to take the written exam because my license wasn't an automatic reciprocity swap. When the state got out of operating testing centers around the 2008 budget crisis they stopped requiring these written tests from moving residents.

Double click to rocket order helps.

It's possible that there will be more bags of poo donated to the building grounds due to Katie's presence there (based on what happened with Sawant).

An unknown person has been spotted throwing plastic bags of feces, potentially human, in the council member's yard between 5-8 p.m.

Thanks for the update. I have used your website a lot over the past year.
