Heldenhirn, (edited ) in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?
  • Fly screens (Unrealistic solution but I wanted to mention it)
  • Get a Pet Frog that eats them
  • Get lots of Spiders making Webs. Be aware that the Pet frog might eat the spiders
  • Flood one of your rooms and make a little swamp where you can plant canivourus plants. The issue is that the swamp will breed more mosquito than it kills but the frog will feel right at home
  • Make a small campfire in your bedroom before you go to sleep. It is known that smoke scares them away. Make sure to keep the windows and door closed so no new mosquito get inside. This is probably the most effective as you won’t get stung for the rest of you life
  • Catch some mosquitos and suck the blood out of them. The other mosquitos will see their wrongdoings and change their ways
Marketsupreme,

Faresh,

Fly screens (Unrealistic solution but I wanted to mention it)

Can I ask why you consider that an unrealistic solution? In my experience the plant based products (lotions/patches etc) are ineffective but I haven’t tried fly screens yet.

Heldenhirn,

It more of a joke because its the only real solution in my list. They are limited to your house but from my experience there’s no way normal mosquitos can go through them. I think mosquitos don’t really give a fuck about smells (at least not enough) and the problem is that they dont spread that well.

In the region where I leave it would be impossible to not have mosquitoes around, the conditions are just good for them, but I have an electric zapper that is shaped like a tennis racquet and I can zap them as soon as I see them inside the house. I also do the chemical fumigation now and then, but for the most part I use the electric zapper. It is very common in countries and regions where mosquitoes are a pest.

arvere, in Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?

I am not a regular app user (I prefer my stuff on browsers) and I’m finding it excellent.

easy to use, fast, simple and functional and I absolutely love features such as “make texts selectable”. it’s infuriating when apps don’t allow that.

imo it doesn’t need to get much more complex than that… nowadays most mobile devs simply don’t care about performance and target only high end devices

FarLine99,

It still need features. 85 issues about enhancements on GitHub approve it. But it does not mean it will be complex. If everything will be done right performance would be nice.

arvere,

hoping so. I guess just the fact that they are not running millions of trackers on you already makes a good performance/battery usage boost

FarLine99,

Yup. Trackers are resource intensive, so I hope everything will be smooth and optimized 🙂

kitsuneofinari, in How safe is it to eat raw eggs?
@kitsuneofinari@yiffit.net avatar

Pasteurized eggs are all you really need. It kills most of the germs including most of the salmonella in the egg but their is a slight chance you might still catch it, but the chances of catching it are extremely small with pasteurized eggs.

My suggestion is to crack your pasteurized eggs into a a separate bowl and make sure their is no blood. If their is any blood, either pitch the egg or cook it properly as not to waste it.

Remnants of blood will still contain salmonella. But cooking that egg will kill the salmonella.

I’ve been making Tamago Kake Gohan for the last month or two now for breakfast and it is extremely good.

rufus, (edited )

well, i was taught the salmonella is on the shell (mainly). so this would be no good advice. i don’t know anything about pasteurized eggs, though. nor north or south american eggs.

Unfortunately those aren’t common where I live. Even if I could find some on a local store it would probably be way too expensive.

Unreliable, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Number go up, weight get heavier, me happy.

Xeon,

Back to using few words, Kevin?

UnverifiedAPK,

Why use many word when few do trick?

hsl, in Images in Lemmy RSS Feeds?
@hsl@wayfarershaven.eu avatar

This is more of a support question - please check the sidebar for tips on where it would be a better fit.

ivanafterall, in Which one are you?
@ivanafterall@kbin.social avatar

Checkers. And I don't even normally like that type of fry.

Yearly1845, in Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?

Easy. Don’t get your news from social media.

Get your news from Reuters or The AP or something. Come to social media to discuss the news but step 0 is go somewhere else.

0x2d,

Subscribe to a bunch of rss feeds you like on your phone

Ohthereyouare,

This is a lot closer to link aggregation than social media.

Platomus,

People post links to those places here. That’s what this person is asking.

DoWotJohn, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

You have to do it long enough to where it becomes a habit. Once you hit that point, you won’t feel as good mentally and physically when you don’t work out. It took over three years for the habit to come about with me, but now I work out 6 day’s a week and appreciate it. I also enjoy the changes it’s made in body.

notabot, in Is there an instance to request the creation of new instances?

It sounds like you might be referring to communities rather than instances. If you don’t want to mod it yourself you could ask in one of the request communities and soneone might choose to start it. Try doing a search for ‘request’ on whichever instance seems like a good fit, and you’ll find one.

UprisingVoltage,

OP could also try posting in !newcommunities or !lemmy411 using the tag [Request]

ghariksforge, in Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?

I’m really happy that it is on Izzy

FarLine99,

👍

YouShutYoMouf, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

FWIW my yard would be full of mosquitos if we did not have a mosquito service treat it every 3-4 weeks. It’s not a big yard, and my neighbors don’t treat their yards. The mosquitos still stay out of our yard though.

Point is it can be done. Whatever the Mosquito businesses do - works. Hire one of you have the money to spend or try to figure out what the professionals do.

Half the battle is getting rid of water. Every few days walk around and pour out anything that collects rainwater.

golamas1999, in What's your favorite rabbit hole to go down?

Learning about Space. There we’re working miniature prototypes of a ship to get humans up to 12% of Speed of Light. Project Orion worked by blasting nuclear bombs behind a ram jets once per second.

All of the humans or just parts of them?
