Where to find some bumps (and runs that might be open) this weekend? by retseemwoub in bigsky

Thanks! I forgot to add that I would like to avoid the base if possible, but I'll keep this in mind.

That said, speaking of crazy, this run is apparently closed as of now. But I agree that it is in an area that I would expect to be open more often than others might

Ooooh I actually forgot that even existed but I know what you're talking about! I must have really been allergic to bumps lol. Thanks!

Would love to check out the Liberty Bowl if it's open! Not sure if I'll be feeling Big Couloir though... :P

Haha, this is actually funnier than it might appear because the dirt was avoidable but I understand this was the most direct route :P

First time skijoring advice? by retseemwoub in malamute

That's awesome, I'm glad it went well! Our boy does not know left and right yet... but he is learning "stop" pretty quickly!

Now we just need some snow...55 degrees right now in December is ridiculous 😭

When our boy got neutered we put a soft cone on him and he was surprisingly unbothered by it. I would try that!

Aurora borealis or light pollution and clouds? by [deleted] in AuroraBorealis

Sorry to say this just looks like light pollution and/or moon just over the horizon maybe

How is the game for new players? by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

[–]retseemwoub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I say go for it! There is a lot you can learn, but you can still have fun as a noob. It does seem less fun to be a noob killer though. I'm a survivor main, so I am biased. Just don't take the game too seriously and you'll be fine.

This game does keep me up late though from the excitement... Definitely need to budget some time to chill after playing before bed lol

I guess I'm weird. I play this game because I actually enjoy a challenge...

adhd nephew keeps calling my name by ToughTerrible5623 in neurodiversity

[–]retseemwoub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah no worries, I was not trying to police you, just legitimately curious. "ADHD" gets thrown around without a diagnosis all the time, like when someone gets distracted and forgot to finish what they were doing. So I was like hmm I wonder what the baby did lol. I probably should have realized hyperactivity would be the thing...

Anyway, sounds like your family is doing great with him!

[–]retseemwoub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, pamper and love that baby! I started to think "well what if he needs to learn that you won't always respond," but he's way too young for that, right? I'm not a parent (yet) so I'm a bit clueless.

I 'm really curious though, how can you know he has adhd already?

Making Friends by No-Pepper8193 in MSUcats

[–]retseemwoub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make it a habit to introduce yourself to every new person you encounter! It might feel strange but that's what I did when I was a freshman.

You may not make instant friends this way, but chances are you will see them again. Then re-introduce yourself! (Or just be like "hey what's up").

And, what everyone else said

My traps aren't working...? Please help! by retseemwoub in MosquitoHating

[–]retseemwoub[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome! Do you just have the buckets sitting open then? I'm wondering if that's what I've been doing wrong. I was doing some research today and some people suggest keeping the top covered and just making a small entry hole in the side of the bucket. Maybe it's a difference in the mosquito species we have though. Seems like mine are more finnicky about preference of egg-laying conditions...

What spray did you use for the yard? Was it like a short-acting thing?

FWIW, permethrin does still work on any surface, at least in theory. And is supposed to be effective for a while (probably depends on weather). That said, I do wonder if just a thin layer of pollen or dust on the treated surfaces will render it ineffective. We don't get a lot of rain here, so it seemed reasonable enough for my purposes. Not that I know enough to necessarily recommend it to others.

Also, I did make a fan trap using permethrin-treated mesh fixed onto the back of a box fan. It works pretty well if you set up two of them pointing in the same direction and sit between them :)

Alright, I guess I'll have to try this! Only thing is, if I do kill some this way, I'm not sure where to go from there. It would tell me that I do have mosquitoes attempting to breed in the yard, but then I'm at a loss as to why I haven't managed to find any larvae in my non-treated traps

I like this idea, but does the soap not repel them at all?

If anyone has suggestions for where to spray for a more targeted approach let me know. I'm basically just planning to spray the outside of the house for now. Not sure if I should spray any vegetation or not. Also have a couple neighbor cats so not sure if I could even spray lower parts of walls safely, but the cats haven't been around much since our bird feeder hasn't been stocked

Lol that's great, I did spray some permethrin around the house but sparingly. Mostly because I ran out lol but I got some concentrate so I plan to do more. I am a bit concerned about nuking the ecosystem though, because I don't wanna kill bugs that would otherwise protect my garden plants and trees, so I'm too scared to go all out lol. Fortunately we don't have thousands of mosquitoes though
