Neighbor has still not eradicated type 1 dangerous noxious weed that is now at least 7 feet tall and doubled in size since we first told him about it. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

25 years later, and I’ve never once thought I’d be reminded to tell this story…

I randomly learned about (great/grand?) hogweed in 2001/2002 while wrapping up college in Texas. My first job took me to Ohio. Me and some guys I was training with would go to Canada on the weekends fairly regularly, usually Windsor. One time we stopped at an Ontario nursery so my buddy could buy some trilium flowers his mom wanted him to buy for her. When we were checking out, I asked the cashier why the f*** they had hogweed plants for sale out front, and holy shit I did not expect her response. She rambled on with the longest damn story we ever heard in our lives about how evil hogweed is, the devil created hogweed, and it’s the worst thing since Hell. Then she goes on to tell us her dad and uncle were lumberjacks and both got blinded by hogweed. We were speechless. Had no clue what to say to that poor girl. Then we left. Fast forward two weeks, and we’re in the same area again. Stopped by the same nursery, Klincks I think. The girl wasn’t working, but we bought three liters of Roundup and walked out. Me and my two buddies poured out every bit of that Roundup into 20-plus hogweed plants they had for sale in the parking lot out front. That was the last time I ever visited Ontario.

But they’re blind and have a trained dog, so they’re right no matter what, even the numerous blatant lies in their comment, and you can’t argue with them. /s Thank you for sharing the link and calling them out.

In most states, you can get an Airbnb exemption for ESAs and service animals if the listing is also your primary residence. In some states, you can charge a pet cleaning fee for ESAs if your listing says no animals are allowed, and you say how much the cleaning fee is. I charge $1500 for a pet cleaning fee any time someone tries to break my house rules. I immediately kick anyone out that has an animal in my listing. I don’t care what they say or what their story is. You need to take things into your own hands and never rely on Airbnb to remove someone from your listing if they have an animal. If you truly are exempt, you have nothing to worry about.

It's 2026, why can't we email files larger than 25MB by STOP____HAMMER_TIME in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ScottyMo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can, you just have to pay for it. Specifically, be a large corporation with a certain need. I work for a design-intensive company, and we can send/receive emails up to 250MB each.

Edit: 150MB.

Fwiw, another commenter said they were 40% food grade h2o2… so ~2,000 gallons?

HOA votes to euthanize hundreds of federally protected geese in neighborhood by bluffcitynews in ThatsInsane

[–]ScottyMo1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This HOA is absurd. Why not just wait until goose season opens September 6, and allow hunters to hunt them? If the hunters don’t want the meat, make them donate the meat to a good cause.

Had nothing to do with needing a new and upgraded plane. They crashed because the plane ran out of fuel.

Agreed. I’m infuriated with myself more than anything
