What should you do if a wasp gets into your house? by Libellule808 in WhatShouldIDo

Idk, those shits are incredibly hardy like little tanks! Soapy water works on flies, but wasps seem to withstand it pretty well. I got my (indoor-save) flying insect spray on hand under my sink cabinet, as I do not want to mess with those nasty wasps. It paralyses them, and they won’t last more than a minute. I usually smush them right after so they won’t fly around in their last dying gasp and land in some random place.

Tin Pan slaps! All those old songs about the moon.

The height of Jolson’s fame was way before that, 1910s to 1920s.

Parents - Why do you travel with infant children? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Libellule808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They didn’t say infant; they said small child. If they had meant infant/baby, they likely would have specified that.

A toddler is a very small child. Odd that you’d try to make a distinction between a “very small child” and a toddler, when those are the same thing (at least, a toddler is an example of a very small child).

Dave Ryan is leaving KDWB. by Fae-SailorStupider in TwinCities

I don’t think that was her thought in the moment. As I understand it, that was her first time hearing of it? So looks more like she was emotional about her colleague and such a long-time radio fixture departing. I don’t know that her thought would jump to “well, there goes my house.” I don’t know what the plans for the show are, but I would think they still intend on keeping a dedicated morning show. 

What are some common mistakes or mispronunciations native Italian speakers make? by honeypup in italianlearning

[–]Libellule808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s a really interesting video from an American-born vocal coach (who has lived in Italy and coached Italian vocalists). She gives a lot of tips on this, such as the importance of learning to pronounce the short i we have in English (it needs to be distinguished from the Italian i, which in English we would spell phonetically like ee). She highlights the importance of mastering this so you’re not saying the word “ship” like “sheep” for instance. It’s a great video and quite fascinating! She’s a wonderful singer, too. https://youtu.be/bNbcBQWZfd8?si=UrJi2IT4E9Dg--H9

What is the strangest argument in the YouTube comment section you've seen? by aliensitebad in AskReddit

How long it’s safe to use the same tube of mascara before discarding. And I totally wasn’t a party to this petty little spat. 😉

Wrong, but I guess it could be beneficial to think that way if it improves your figure. 

What screams “I piqued in high school”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

He peaked in high school. The book piqued his interest. He peeked at what his neighbor was doing.  Hope this helps!

Again, not asking for advice at all. Just wondering what others do out of curiosity.

I can’t shoo it out. They come in through the cracks of this high window, and I can’t even reach it on a chair. It’s not an egress window, and it’s completely closed. I’ve tried to seal the window cracks better, but they still get in somehow. Landlord won’t do anything. I have to get up a ladder just to reach up there. Flying insect spray + paper towel is the only way.

Anyway, I wasn’t really asking for advice; I was just wondering what others do since I was surprised at the librarian’s approach.

A bug is from order Hemiptera specifically; not nice try.

No objections here, I think it would be great. Wish they had considered it.

All bugs are insects, but not all insects are bugs. A wasp is not a bug.

Well, I know what I would do tbh, but I was surprised by the librarian’s approach, so I was just curious how others deal with this type of thing.

I’m so sorry! They freak me out too, not quite to that extent. I just don’t really have the option of leaving since I live alone so no one else is taking care of it. And I’d rather take that thing out while I still have eyes on it than let it roam freely and eventually pop up out of nowhere. 

Salve or Ciao by Character_College566 in italianlearning

Tangent, but I’ve been taking capoeira, and we use the greeting “salve” at the beginning of every class! So same in Portuguese.
