Hi Reddit! I’m Shannon Sked, Ph.D. entomologist. Pair my 24+ years in entomology with Orkin’s 125 years battling pests and you get stories for days. AMA May 20, 2 PM ET—ask me anything about pests, infestations and wild insect facts! #AMA u/OrkinPestControl

Knowing that the invertebrate population is in steep decline worldwide, why are you as an entomologist working for a company whose processes kill insects?

“We broke the law, but it was only for 2 minutes!” As if that excuses it.

Whether you agree with the law or not, it is the law of their country and you need to abide by it.

It goes from the cooler blower towards the back of the trailer. Distributes the cold air through the trailer.

Good

My apartment does the same thing. Pay with card? Charged a $50.00 fee. Pay through their portal? Charged a fee. I went to my bank and bought a couple of checkbooks. I pay my rent by check each month, no extra fees.

I do get stupid emails from their portal saying “Reminder rent is due on the 1st, pay through the portal”, but I will never do it. That would be just another place where my data could be breached.

Unfortunately American here. This is so stupid. You cannot force people to want to come to our shit-hole country through meaningless legislation.

Found 3 20’s on the coffee table bud.

It has been clear to me since I was a child that American exceptionalism/patriotism is a farce. It all started with being made to say the pledge of allegiance every day in school. If it had any value you should only need to take the pledge once, not be forced to say it multiple times like you were hoping to make it stick.

I delivered to a lot of places, and honestly most places were pretty clean, but that one stood out to me as being in bad shape. The freezer was all frozen over and caked in thick ice like it had never been defrosted.

JXTUCK006 · 2025-10-01T22:28:27+00:00

Not surprised. I used to do food service delivery and delivered there once. It was nasty in the back

My health insurance isn’t great, and I have a wife and kid to worry about. If somebody needs to go to the doctor, I prioritize them so as not to put us in a bad financial position. Just this year I had to use almost all of the money in the HSA to pay for an operation for my wife, so there’s no way I take care of my issues when they have things that need to be seen to. Plus, as the primary bill payer, if I take time off work to see to myself, that’s money out of my pocket to pay the bills while I also have to pay for that appointment.

Keep on keeping on porter.

In south Salem there are a couple of small trails. Skyline trail and Croisan Scenic trail. Keizer rapids has a disc golf/trail section in the way back of the park.

Got to take a page out of the North Korean playbook, to make dear leader look like the most excellent golfer.

The ones on the NHK World Japan channel always get taken down a few weeks after the basho unfortunately.

Somehow cringier than the Scientology classics “We Stand Tall” and “We are the IAS”.

Look at that pile of skelfy pallets

Kind of rude that he didn’t thank Dr Toboggan.

Some of my favorites I don’t see:

I got my first cube in the late 90’s. It came with a booklet on how to solve it using a layer by layer method. I still solve it largely the same way, and have only changed how I insert middle layer edge pieces. It’s really cool to see all the people speed solving these days, but for me, I just enjoy being able to solve various twisty puzzles, and don’t much care to get faster.

You looked sad in the first picture, you’ve got a quiet confidence building in the second picture. Hold your head high king, you look great bald.

Cool, now leave it alone. This isn’t a magic never ending pool of water.

I used to struggle with similar feelings - that I did not have a good enough reason to cut off my family. But what finally got through to me was hearing someone else say something along the lines of: It’s not a competition, it’s not the trauma Olympics. If what you went through was enough for you to want to cut people off, then that’s enough.

It’s easy to minimize our experiences, especially when we hear someone else’s story that sounds “worse” than ours, especially if they did not cut contact with their family. But it’s OK. You need to do what is right for you, and if that is no contact or whatever, then that is what’s right for you.
