Mine is people who separate words when they write. I’m Norwegian, and we can string together words indefinetly to make a new word. The never ending word may not make any sense, but it is gramatically correct...
I kind of wish we didn’t have gendered pronouns in English. So much fuss when we could just be using the same words for everyone like some other languages.
All the McD*nalds in my area have been upgraded with order kiosks. Regardless of all the controversy around self-checkout, and minimum wage, and automation taking our jobs, I personally love them. I can take my sweet time composing my order, I can see the full selection (such as it is), I can see pictures and prices clearly...
I love horror movies especially the cheesey type of horror movies that are so stupid that they are great. I do prefer the ones that would always appear on SyFy, but any other type (that is not like the ones on SyFy and look a lot better) is fine too.
Maybe funding. Get a grant of $10,000 and you can only build something so big.
Use that to prove it’s a viable idea that could work and go searching for a $100,000 grant to make a bigger real-use one and make refinements to then use to search for investors that can start manufacturing.
That would likely make it much more expensive than tap water, rendering the device almost pointless except in cases where they probably couldn’t afford it anyways.

Gavin Newsom signed a new law on Wednesday that aims to stop other states from prosecuting doctors and pharmacists who mail abortion pills to patients in places where the procedure is banned. California already has a law protecting doctors who provide abortions from out-of-state judgments.
Other commenter was being sarcastic. But it’s the road they appear to be heading.
At the moment if a pregnant woman leaves the state they may suspect it’s for abortion purposes. Neighbours can even report if they think someone may have aborted.
To my knowledge there’s no stagnant water on my property, I’ve run water through all my ptraps, and I’m careful to not leave doors open. Yet at any given time there’s at least 3 in my house. I can’t sleep, i can’t sit on the couch, i can’t exist in the fear of being sucked dry....
There are traps which are called mosquito magnets and they hook up to a propane tank to burn a small pilot light which produces CO2 to attract mosquitos and pull them into a bag via a fan.
You want to place them at the edge of your property though not close to your deck because they attract mosquitos in order to kill them.

Can anyone recommend terrible horror films?

The NYC subway banned dogs on trains unless they fit into a small bag, so this guy trained his Pitbull to sit in a small bag. (suppo.fi)

What do you use Vaseline for?
I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I’m curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.
I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?
