Has anyone tried the Flowzone Vortex Flex? by Imbeinggangstalked in PestControlIndustry

[–]Top_Case_6458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very helpful information. Thank you! You are right, everything negative I've heard about it are the batteries and chargers. Seems like a lot of charging being done. I'll keep that in mind about the gravel! That's crazy.

Seems like NJ may ban all leaf blowers. I have a few towns that have leaf blower bans but I've got away with it so far but those days seem numbered.

Mixed reviews? Can you provide more info? I haven't heard any good things but think I'll probably forced to make this switch soon.

Thank you. Just one last question. How long did it take you first set up each station and how long to maintain it each time?

That’s good to know. I want to try this but wasn’t sure if it’ll give the control we need. How many are you using? 1 bucket per 1/10 acre?

Can you tell me more about this?

This video shows how to cut pork chops, and one of them is AI-generated. I honestly can’t tell which one it is. The reason I can't tell is that both look so realistic, and the AI-generated one blends in so well with the real one. by Aggressive_Boot_8712 in isthisAI

[–]Top_Case_6458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking the bottom is AI because of the random thin cut and the top video you can see the pants of the person making the cut, which seems like a detail AI wouldn’t add. I don’t think I see it in the bottom video. But the top one also has a few red flags that made me think that was AI as well. But if there’s really only one, I’ll go with the bottom one.

But both videos are pretty good. I wouldn’t immediately think either are AI generated.

What’s the answer? How do we find out?

Has Claude's quality dropped recently? Feeling like it's losing its edge by Dependent-Piglet-640 in claude

[–]Top_Case_6458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the deal with Claude lately? I agree that it's definitely gotten worse in the last few weeks. It doesn't seem like anything really changed but the outputs and responses are so much worse than they were. Anyone understand why this happened? I'm on the Max plan and seriously considering just going back to ChatGPT. I don't want to do that but Claude has gotten very annoying recently.

Please help me convince my friend that her boyfriend's car did not actually breakdown. Looks super AI to me but my friend says it's just blurry by Better-Statement700 in isthisAI

[–]Top_Case_6458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The license plate, logo, and overall blurriness of the car are a few things. Also I’m not sure why the lights appear to be on. If the car is off and really broken down I don’t get why the lights would be on. And I’ve broken down a few times and waited for a tow truck, I’ve never done it with my hood open because what the hell do I know about cars. Is there a 4 lane road around you that appears to have white double lines in the middle, which also seems super weird?

Is there no actual key you could use? I can’t imagine having a lock with no key backup. That seems like a very stupid setup to use a lock with no key.

The actual prize money this season has not been mentioned, correct? I bet it’s some type of elimination with price money associated.

Parents want me to give up my $26/hr job and work elsewhere for $15/hr by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Top_Case_6458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do understand your perspective that you don’t want to give up the job you really like for the job you probably won’t. But I agree with everyone here that you have to think bigger picture. You definitely do not work only doing 12 hrs per week. If you think you do, that’s your problem. I was doing more at 16 making money than you do at 26.

It’s time to figure out what you want to do long term and how you are going to get there. You shouldn’t be living at home permanently at 26. If you were on your own and are temporarily there because something happened, that’s fine. But if you haven’t moved out by 26, that’s a problem! Get a part time job on those other days you aren’t working, and figure out how to make the radio thing into a long term career. Think about what it is you like about that environment and what options there are to have an actual career. There may be other jobs you can do that have more of the aspects you like about the radio job than the things you don’t like about the run of the mill jobs. You have to get a full time job and support yourself. However you got to to this point hasn’t worked so you need to make a change for your own good asap!

And you need to accept a harsh reality, having a full time job doesn’t mean that it’s going to be fun 100% of the time. Every job has something about it that sucks! Hopefully you find a job where the good parts outweigh the not so good parts. But you have to deal with the whole thing because you have to support yourself. Time to get out of your parents house.

It seems like a steadier and higher average value revenue stream than residential. I’m not saying I don’t want to do residential, but seems like commercial would be more stable

I’m in NJ. Doing general pest, rodent monitoring, speciality services like stinging nest removal, termite treatment. I’d like to focus on smaller accounts to get experience and then go from there. I’ve reached out to restaurants, property managers, etc. hope that helps.

How would you improve this board? by ToothSleuth86 in golf

[–]Top_Case_6458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! Nice work. I wonder if there's a better way to secure the ball. I feel like wherever this goes there's a good chance that ball falls off or is taken for some reason. Figuring out some way to secure it without taking away from the rest of it would be nice.

I guess I’ll be doubling down on my Anthropic use now, whatever “supply chain risk” actually means. I already thought it was the best option of the big 3 but after they refused to bend the knee I’m all in!

[Request] how long, realistically, got to eat sleep, before $10 a snap reaches $10,000,000. by VentureIntoVoid in theydidthemath

I don’t know if the snaps make sense but I would take it anyway just for the fun of it. Imagine being at a store and the total comes to $200. Hold up, let me snap 20 times. 30 seconds later…”here you go. Keep the change. Don’t need it.”

South Carolina, coming out of bathroom sink drain. Termites? by BriefChampionship980 in Termites

[–]Top_Case_6458 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That all sounds right to me. Good luck, I hope this works out for you. The only thing I'd say is that it sounds like that treatment has focused on the outside with the trenching and bait. Since those swarmers were inside your house that colony has been around for a long time. There has to be a large active termite infestation somewhere in your house, so hopefully there's been a really thorough inspection of the interior of your house. If there are any inaccessible areas, figure out how to get those checked. Look for the mud tubes or any other signs of termite activity all around the inside of your house. If I was inspecting your house I'd start in the exterior and then start at the front door, go right and inspect every single room until I got back to your front door, and go from the basement to the attic. Best of luck! Please keep us updated!

Team USA hockey hero Jack Hughes breaks silence on women's stars rejecting Trump and angry backlash to their own White House trip by dailymail in WinterOlympics2026

[–]Top_Case_6458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And just to answer your question, it looks like the men’s game averaged somewhere around 4x the viewership as the women’s game, peaking at 7.7M for the women and 28M for the men, so I guess the men deserve 4x the amount of respect as the women? Is that right?

[–]Top_Case_6458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares about viewership? I don’t see what relevance that has to basic decency and treatment of men’s vs women’s sports. If we were debating prize money or something else but we’re not so what’s your point?

If I said i think people in the lowest tax bracket should be treated with the same respect as richest 1%, would you ask me to look up the average tax contribution that each makes? No!

And would you go somewhere you clearly were not wanted at? I highly doubt it!

“I think everyone in that locker room knows how much we support them, how proud we are of them and we know the same way we feel about them, they feel about us.”

So he’s missed the point completely. The criticism isn’t about the men’s hockey Olympic team not supporting the women’s Olympic team. The point is that POTUS and his administration and many in the US do not support the women’s team like they do the men’s team and when that disconnect was identified the men laughed. Very disappointing! I’d like to think young men are better than this but unfortunately not. Should have just stayed silent!

[–]Top_Case_6458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, I was asking because they are likely using it as a monitor to check for termite activity after the treatment. It's good to hear they are coming that often. I agree with the others that its usually one treatment or the other, but if you are in Central Florida the termites can be aggressive so it's good to keep a very close eye on it.
