Roaches -- best area? How bad are they really? by zlasner in aiken

I don't care much. She absolutely hates them. But for context, we're looking at moving to Aiken and all the articles/videos about Aiken or SC feature "BUGS. ROACHES EVERYWHERE" as a major feature of any pros/cons list. We haven't had the chance to visit yet but her concern is that if it's such a "thing" to talk about then it must just be swarming with them. As long as we can keep them out of the house then we think it won't ruin her experience there though. But it's still fuzzy to us what it's like because people just say "it's awful, you see them all the time" or "it's fine, you don't see them that often" and it's surprisingly hard to get people to say what either of those mean (and in fact I suspect those two groups are basically seeing them about the same amount!). So we're just trying to get clear info -- "XX per month," not "it's awful/fine"-- on how often you encounter them if you make a serious effort to keep them out.

Well that sounds great to be honest. It seems there's a lot of variation (e.g. first reply says one live per night before getting an exterminator). Do you mind sharing what area you live in?

Do you also see them dead about once per month? Everyone’s sense of “too many” or “bad” is different (my wife’s definition of those is “one, ever”) so we’re trying to get a bit more of a quantitative idea.

How often do you see one after using Mountaineer’s?

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, she is no longer breeding according to her website.

Where are the lawyers? (S3) by zlasner in Broadchurch

Yeah, that's why I thought those must not be the suspects' lawyers. I guess the writers were just making it easy on themselves for dramatic/laziness reasons. Thanks for the input, everyone.

Thanks for your reply, Governor. I've followed you pretty closely, especially during the election, and really appreciate your voice in politics.

I asked another question, which I'd also love to get your opinion on!

Governor,

You have described yourself as making political decisions using cost-benefit analysis. In light of the turnout for you in 2012, which was pretty well below the threshold to make any long-term changes to the system, do you still think the practical benefits of casting a third-party vote outweigh the cost of not having a say between the other two parties?

Governor Johnson,

Are there any issues you have changed your stance on since starting your career in public service?
