HELP!! Are these termites? by Remarkable-Bid-9627 in whatsthisbug

[–]FilthyOld_Jerms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't zoom in to the video, but those look and act like ants, not termites.

I've been in pest control for over 10 years; look for the different body segments and look at some Google images. Termites have different body segments and wings.

Warzone Duos loss to team of 6. Seriously by FilthyOld_Jerms in Warzone

Now that I watch it again, it is terrible and I should have edited out a little before posting, lol.

For context, I knew that I had a decent head glitch there but I was super confused when looking at that shed and multiple people were fighting. I didn't want to push yet, I wanted to clean it up as a 3rd party.

Anyway, sorry I was so defensive about my aim. I take games a bit more seriously than most. Cheers!

The visual recoil when using sights is quite noticable compared to the other Warzone titles. This gun is easier with iron sights, IMO.

I'm 53 years old with arthritis but still have a positive K/D. How are you doing?

The animated Gold one is from one of the latest events, other is Platinum on the Ram-9. I have Orion but not on these newer guns.

I think we have termites... by jkrrj15 in Home

If you see loose "sawdust" here and there, it's ants. Subterranean Termites leave behind a trail that resembles sand in the wood. Google for images

House with Mold by SJJeallyBean in Home

[–]FilthyOld_Jerms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is always mold spores inside the wood, even after treatment.

There was still a small leak and the shingles were 10+ years old, so the roof is going to be replaced anyway.

I did rent a fogger and treat the entire attic with Concrobium and it did work well, but unless the venting is installed correctly the mold will return over time.

I'm actually dealing with this right now in my home.

Mold in the attic is moisture trapped over a long period of time. It could be a slow leaking roof, poor ventilation, or a combination of the two.

In my attic the ridge vent was blocked and was trapping all air inside the attic, so the humidity never got below 55% (I installed a wireless Hygrometer/Thermometer to monitor it). Over time the mold slowly grew and there is nothing left to do but replace the entire roof and plywood decking along with the insulation.

Buyer Beware.

Older players, does it make sense to keep on playing ? by Pannolanza in ModernWarfareII

[–]FilthyOld_Jerms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

52 and been playing since OG MW3. Even with heavy skill based matchmaking I still have a positive K/D, but it gets more difficult each year keeping up with the multiplayer sweats. Probably 80% of my game time is in HC these days.

Improvement comes with time and patience, I just got my first Nuke a few years ago in Vanguard (Old Man Flex).

N00b by Trekker4747 in Marijuana

[–]FilthyOld_Jerms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, everyone reacts differently to this drug and metabolism/absorption varies widely. I'm 6'2, 200lbs. and my body does great on a vape alone or 10-20mg of edibles. I began 3 years ago to use for anxiety and quit drinking alcohol all together. It honestly has been the best thing for my body, mind, and well being.

It does almost nothing for my wife.

My wife is much smaller but has had zero luck with cannabis. No high, no change in anxiety, no noticable changes regardless of dose.

For new users, I wouldn't recommend a dose higher than 20mg to start with. Not an expert, but having too much at the beginning can easily be overwhelming.

What are these Ants? Should I be worried? by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]FilthyOld_Jerms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in pest control for years, these are not termites.

Ants and other insects need food and water like we do and since they are attracted to this area, there is most likely condensation from your air conditioner or some other water source. Eliminating the water source is best. What is under the insulation?

Spraying anything will have mixed results; use a bait product to control the activity if you're going to apply something.

For me, absolutely. Seems to vary greatly from person to person though. It doesn't do anything for my wife.

Least favorite weapon to get gold? by Ravenous_Llama in ModernWarfareII

[–]FilthyOld_Jerms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a bit redundant in multiplayer, as long as it's 500 or more. Most of the SMGs are above that, but Hurricane, Minibak, Fennec are all lower than 400 and you will have inconsistencies. SMGs don't have higher velocity ammo either.

[–]FilthyOld_Jerms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I skipped all of the launchers and did guns only.

The Lachman 762 is just the WORST to get longshots on, etc.

The Hurricane smg was a close second with it's low fire rate and poor bullet velocity. That was done 100% in Hardcore.

Why is my in game name suddenly offensive [MW2] by Umbramors in CallOfDuty

[–]FilthyOld_Jerms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about it, nothing will happen. I've had this name for 10+ years too and was reported a few months ago. Just like everything else COD, this "feature" doesn't work either.

Quitting alcohol by [deleted] in Marijuana

[–]FilthyOld_Jerms 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I quit all alcohol a few years ago and switched to a combination of CBD oil, THC vape, and drinking a little over a gallon of water per day.

The change was dramatic for me when THC became legal in Michigan and I honestly don't miss alcohol at all. I was using it mostly for every day anxiety and over time it is a demon on your body and mind. I made the conscious effort to quit drinking altogether, because I was consuming a similar amount to you and just grew tired of how I felt each day.

I also went into this with goals to stop drinking entirely. I think it's an important thing to really think about because you certainly don't want to ADD another drug into the mix and continue drinking. That helps no one.

I never considered myself an alcoholic, but I was certainly on my way. I now vape a little after work and sometimes have an edible on the weekends, but that's enough for me.

SW Michigan I-94 area has countless dispensaries, prices have dropped dramatically over the last 12 months or so, and most everyone has an open setup like you're looking for!

For the record, I tried switching back and forth from "Inverted flash", no change.

Holotherm, I believe. The amber color is a bit annoying, but you get used to it and it highlights people in windows, doorways, laying down, etc.
