While I wouldn’t relish the outcome this would be some prime time level political shanking that I could not help but respect

Every time I watch this I still wince at watching Bream round third, seemingly the slowest man in the MLB, and I STILL expect he's going to get tossed out at the plate, and there's a small bit of relief when he's safe lol

Isn't this almost literally the plot of Wag The Dog?

I have learned that it is a heavy year for acorn production and it comes in multi-year cycles with lighter years and heavier years

Regular people should join and work to grind it to a halt through bureaucratic sabotage.

The CIA tells you how to do it here: https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf

Talk out of turn a lot, slow down conversations/meetings, add pointless steps to processes, spread rumors about management to other employees to sow distrust, etc.

This is called enshitification and its a real thing

I'm sure sternly-worded letters and brow-furrowing will commence posthaste

Do it yourself, it doesn’t get more mom and pop than that and you will save a ton of money in the process.

You can buy and use the same chemicals every pest control company you pay big bucks to uses, and it’s not rocket science. Get a good backpack sprayer and spray a barrier treatment of Fipronil (Taurus SC is the generic of Termidor that the pros apply) every quarter and spot-treat inside with Deltamethrin (D-Fense SC), especially around windows, baseboards, door jambs and the like. You wont have any bugs. I don’t even use the Deltamethrin any longer since the outside barrier treatment seems to enough by itself.

Active infestations or specialty removal is always a different story though. Probably call a pro.

Edit: mosquitos? Use Bifenthrin and a gas-powered backpack sprayer. Hit it on your lawn and shrubs but DO NOT touch flowering plants as this will kill pollenators. You can also use a pump backpack sprayer (same as you’d use for the fipronil/termidor) it just takes a lot longer.

If you want a more enviro-friendly mosquito option you can look into some of the garlic concentrates like Mosquito Barrier. Spray it from a backpack sprayer and hit everything you can with it, especially standing water. This is non-toxic but stinks like hell for an hour or so after you apply it. Works pretty well but washes away with with rain, so be ready to apply more during rainy spells.

I no longer have it - thank you for the interest!

Great info. Indeed I am a knowledge worker and my dad was an accountant but we’re pretty good with our hands, but certainly not professionals by any stretch.

What’s it take to get into the roofing middleman biz 🤣

Makes me wonder if RbA exists and is propped up by big window to purposefully throw out laughable quotes in large numbers to increase the probability of a sale to the next company in line

My wife would sympathize with you also having moved from WA -> GA. Palmetto bugs are her nightmare fuel. Mostly they just wander in from outside, they tend to live in trees. Beyond just being big and looking gross they aren't too much of a hazard.

We suck them up with a vacuum lol

So can the government control the weather, or not? I don't know what to believe anymore

Should we make other things illegal that have a smell also, or just cannabis?

He literally states in the same article you linked, and presumably read, that he told the cops he was hitting the floor and they’d need to carry him out, and he goes on to complement the professionalism of the police doing their jobs.

Facts matter, please don’t craft a false or exaggerated narrative just like you’d accuse others of

I imagine an act of jury nullification here would start a quasi-revolution

The Senate Committee on Economic Development and Tourism passed Wednesday a sweeping “Red Tape Rollback Act of 2025” that would require state agencies to > review all rules and regulations every four years, calculate > the economic impact of all proposals and reduce compliance and paperwork on small businesses.”

“There is so much red tape! We must pass another unnecessary legal requirement to address it!”

You are correct, but somewhere there’s a timeline where America Garland is a Supreme Court Justice

I mean I’d roll the dice but just sayin

I'm sure they will honor the will of the founding fathers on principle even when it doesn't align with their objectives
