    Mosquitos are pollinators. And in some parts of the world that have extreme seasons that can’t sustain bees, they seem rather important to the ecosystem.

    Instead of eradicating them, genetically engineering away the numbing in their saliva that causes the allergic reaction in humans could be a solution.

    I’ll trade a couple weeks of itchy bites for a briefly painful bite any day.

    Sure, humans would kill them instantly on feeling the bite, but most animals are not capable of that. Their populations would be fine.


  • Yeah, the one saying that was claiming that after your initial deprecation after driving off the lot, trucks tend to hold their value for a long time. So might as well.

    He’s also the guy that’s last minute panicking about saving for retirement in his 50s.

    Go figure.


  • I just picked up an early 2000s used truck because I have a hobby where a truck bed is useful. $7500.

    People were trying to tell me that I should get a new one, I can resale it in a few years and it’ll retain it’s value.

    I don’t need a shiny new truck. I’m going to throw wood and sheet goods in the back. And I can actually see out of the damn thing, unlike anything recent.







  • I only have had one coworker that didn’t do this stupid incrementation thing (some salt with a bit more than a number based on some logic).

    He was the guy that would take a minute or two every time he needed to unlock his computer to open his password manager on his phone and slowly type out a long and difficult to type random password that he could never memorize due to the frequency we had to change passwords.

    So many delays during conversations / meetings with this guy.








  • Republican/conservatives love their macho rugged individualism persona. Fuck your feelings, big trucks, tough guy/gal demeanor.

    And in the same breath, they will whine about how they are oppressed because people dislike them for their words and actions that are actively demonizing others. Minorities, LBGT, liberals, name it. They very vocally victimize others and then play victim when called out for it, all while trying to act tough.

    It’s like they saw every despicable bully trope on TV, that always ends up tucking tail and running when their comeuppance arrives, and said “yeah, that’s who I want to be”


  • I live in Southern California, and we were having crazy weather for the region. I think Hawaii had a hurricane or something iirc, and we were getting the tail end of it.

    I was at work, and suddenly everyone phone started screeching alerts.

    ⚠️ Tornado Warning ⚠️

    Everyone froze for a couple seconds, then crowded the floor to ceiling office windows, then ran down stairs to go outside for a better look.

    We all laughed at how incredibly stupid we were being, but hell, a Tornado in Cali was too rare to miss.

    No Tornado ever materialized.
