zerbey, in How often do you brush your teeth?

Twice a day, and if I need to freshen up.

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

Imo the easiest option: fly screens everywhere. Especially in bedroom and keep this door closed so they won’t get in (in case they come through other doors)

I no longer have issues with them and if I ever see one, I just use my electric fly swatter. I also can’t sleep when there’s one in the room.

Fly screens are totally worth it. Self made might be cheaper, but I’m not cerrain since I didn’t do them myself.

Usually 2x a day, when I get up and when I go to bed.

Dual wield those electric tennis rackets?

If you’re talking about a particular area, using fans can help push mosquitoes away.

If you’re mobile, use DEET on your skin and permethrin on your clothes and your dog’s fur.

Quentinp, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

Yes i have basically replaced Reddit at this point, other than if google search comes up with something I need.

S_204, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

If you are in the woods, permitherin is the best option.

If you are just sitting around the patio, just set up a fan.

s0q, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

The community reddit had was really good. I hope it is replicated here. I wonder is there is a way to transfer some of the reddit data here?

n0m4n, in Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?

This doesn’t ask your question, but this may be of useful to people, anyway.

I’ve just joined ground.news, a pay site. The great part about this site is that it rates news as to left, center, or right leaning, and rates the “factuality” of the sites. Filtering out non-factual knocks out a large part of the outlier’s lies, and shows who the people are, who push them. like knowing the players pushing their agenda. One caveat is that some that push lies still slide through by quoting the people who spout lies without disclaimers of the reliabilty of their false claims. One rule of thumb that I find helpful is that I mentally filter out any pleas to emotionalism. Manipulating readers/viewers emotionally is the opposite of informing. Sites that try to be centrist and ignore whether the sources are reliable about facts, end up being half lies or propagandsa. It is useful to keep in mind that blatently propaganda sites work in some truth to give themselves some plausibility. Only the highest reliable news are worth letting in to your news sphere.

This is a worldwide problem as paid propagandaists muddy the news sphere. Welcome to our cyber warfare world.

Bear_with_a_hammer, in What is the best peice of media you ever interacted with?

Whiplash (2014)

blawsybogsy, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

ah, Lenny. I really love Lenny.

Sentau, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

Both yes and no. Yes the time I used to spend browsing reddit is now spent using lemmy. But the experience is totally different in lemmy. I am a much more active part of the community here whereas I was a lurker at reddit

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

Probably not what you want to hear but I’ve been absolutely bombarded with the right wing perspective my entire life and I’m pretty glad to have a place that doesn’t try to both sides everything. Where do I get my news? Twitter mostly I come here if I want to see something discussed further

lemonuri, in Breakfast suggestions?

You could try different brands of oatmilk. It might need some getting used to, but some brands actually taste pretty close to cowmilk. I favor a brand called no milk (available at lidl at least in Germany), which has some sort of fat added I think (it`s got 3.5 percent fat like milk). You might be able to find an equivalent over in the States.

Joe_0237, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

I think you meant to post on asklenny xD

original_reader, in How do I delete my Reddit account?

Better to overwrite it with a different message. Twice. That makes restoration more difficult.
