You don't even need to nuke the drains. Just cover them up. I had drain flies coming out of my shower drain for weeks and couldn't figure out how to stop them initially. Read online to block the drain for a couple days when it's not in use. I just covered the drain with a sink plunger and they were gone.
Reminds me of when Circuit City was finally going out of business and they were having a liquidation sale. There were some TVs I was looking at and they were regularly priced at like $800. They had STACKS of those TVs they couldn't move.
Then CC was going out of business and was going through liquidation. The same TVs were being advertised as MSRP $1,299 but 25% liquidation pricing and people were buying 2 at a time.

Ah yes, my old manager. Has to be the one talking at any given moment, her meetings always go at least 15 minutes over because she spends half the time talking about every mundane thing her kids said, if there's a meeting/call and 8 seconds of silence she has to make some kind of comment only she thinks is funny and forcefully laugh at it, and her own team members can't give a project update without her talking over them to repeat what they already said or to add info that isn't relevant.
Sure, the first year (or two) of COVID were wretched, but most of those barriers have since cleared — yet I’m still struggling. I’ve noticed the same with a number of people within my family and neighbourhood....
Xmas 2020 with all the "shortages", at the Target and WalMarts near me the holiday aisles was very scant, and practically completely picked over by the week before. I had genuinely hoped that could have been an eye opener for America.

15 character minimum passwords that expire every 90 days and require MFA to remote in from home with 3 separate login sessions just to get to your PC, along with stripped down rights for everyone, even IS. The rights are so strict that if you wanted to, for instance, update a trusted application like Notepad++ because a recent exploit was found which would be a security concern, you can't use the auto-update feature of the application; you have to download it manually from their repository, and run it using a special admin account created for you that doesn't have an associated email address but also has a 90 day password requirement. But you wouldn't been able to use their repository 6 months ago because we block any IP address outside the US and their previous service was located in UK, so if you wanted to keep that piece of software up-to-date with security and vulnerability patches (which they've harped on a number of times before) you'd have to find alternative download services located in the US regardless of how shady.

Is it just my circle, or has it been a challenge getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit the last couple of years?
