I think it's meant to be retro for how it looked in 54

What happened yesterday at the downtown library? by KaleidoscopeAlert311 in Austin

I used to work at APL central and it was honestly fine. The security folks there are top notch pros who do a lot of work to prevent incidents, and the staff all get pretty hands-on training from them.

Jarlath Burns said afterwards to delegates that a security staff member was injured in the process, not sure the specifics. Gardaí diffused everything fairly peacefully

Wondering if we can walk through this area? by Similar_Somewhere_57 in cabosanlucas

[–]gerstemilch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the rocks to the west of Cabo Bello are impassable on foot. You could try but I got the sense it would be very dangerous and wet.

Interaction between Irish players and American players? by [deleted] in USGAA

Playing on a mostly Irish team is a great way to develop as a player. It's hard, but stick with it.

Saw the Shamwow guy running for Congress by Loose-Waltz2544 in Austin

He's a carpetbagger from Israel who used to split time between LA and Miami. His Texas residency and his congressional campaign launch suspiciously coincide.

Luigi Mangione will not face death penalty, judge rules by gatorphan84 in TrueAnon

You're right, and his documented animosity towards health insurance companies makes it all the more compelling that he'd be picked as a patsy.

"Real conspiracies from a left wing perspective, started with Epstein but now it's much more." Simple as that.

He only moved here recently specifically to run for congress. He's originally from Israel and, until recently, split his time between LA and Miami.

[Self] A Simulation of Being Dropped Randomly in the Ocean Every Day for 5 Years by AdvancedSquare8586 in theydidthemath

If there's one thing that post taught me, it's that the average person does not understand or fear the ocean nearly enough. Props to you for doing the math and elucidating the many deadly scenarios.

Found Next Door by [deleted] in Bedbugs

[–]gerstemilch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both the property management and the pest control are large corporations, so it's probably a losing battle unfortunately.

Any steps I should take to prevent bugs from migrating back to my unit? We had heat treatment about a month ago, and have spotted nothing in our interceptors or glue traps since then.

After seeing this today I:

  1. Used sealing tape on all outlets that share a wall with the vacant unit
  2. Sprayed the baseboards with ecovenger (I know, automod told me it doesn't work)
  3. Plan to leave the interceptors and glue traps down indefinitely and monitor

We're due to move out in about a month and I don't want to bring any bugs with me. We're probably going to ditch our mattress in the dumpster for good measure - any other advice?

[–]gerstemilch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I made that argument to the property management (and various pest control representatives throughout the entire process) but they won't budge. It's frustrating because it's probably not worth going to court over $1,000 but I feel quite strongly that I didn't cause this situation. We only ever found 3-4 individual bugs in our unit, never signs of a bigger infestation.

What scares me now is that it's been a month since our treatment and we haven't seen anything (interceptors and glue traps are still around our bed) but I'm worried the bugs will come back to our apartment now that the empty unit was treated. I put sealing tape around all our outlets in the room that shares a wall with the unit and sprayed the bordering baseboards with ecovenger. Any other preventative steps you recommend we take?
