A kind reminder that catnip doesn’t just attract cats but makes them go bananas: Some go chill, some go mild, some go berserk.

I wouldn’t test it on myself, but I’ll pay money to see someone do.

Step one: Fuck Around Step two: Find Out. 🤔

That’s a study about larvicidal effects on a single species and it provides 150min of protection against adults, which then drops to 7%. While interesting, it doesn’t support your conclusions.

Sure, send me your paper and I’ll read it.

When doing field work, we use DEET over our clothes because we get right into mosquito country, but when I just need to spray myself or the kids in more informal situations, I definitely would recommend picaridin for just how easier is on skin. Just anyone looking for advice here, make sure it’s concentrated enough.

Note: Gel is way better as spray tends to evaporate sooner from skin, and you can pair it with a pyrethroid smoke coil, just be aware that, like most kinds of smoke, it is not good for your health.

Finally, mosquitoes are lame flyers as they exchanged strength for stealth, so a windy area might help.

Mosquitoes use three ways for locating a target: CO2, body odor and body shape (mammal-like): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-50182-5

Picaridin or deet are methods to cover that odor: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/icaridin

Do they still have a navy?

A Bagger 288??!

I see this as less of a way to overload populations but rather another tool to help struggling colonies.

That said, there’s nothing there not saying that this won’t be abused in some cases.

Yes babie!!

What about that oily thing that gets separated, and mixing it together feels like mixing brown mortar?

Definitely there’s a Christian vibe in both posture and theme, but at the left, the man holding the victim’s hand is showing compassion, they are looking at each other’s eyes, and the earlier shows grief in his facial expression. The way he holds his arm and hand is gentle, and he is placed in a lower position than the victim. In fact, all three men holding him are genuflecting, denoting reverence for what is happening rather than glee, with somber faces.

I want to consider this a case where they tried to add more light to the victim and it backfired, but it is true that often Aztec’s human sacrifice practices were used to handwave the terrible acts done by the European colonists.

Jesus. 900 people is like everyone I know and interacted in a lifetime and I vaguely remember…

I mean, even for a cemetery, it would be a large one. In a single day.

I truly hope the ongoing thing with Iran puts Putin as a true candidate for a Gaddafi parade.

That makes me think that we shouldn’t bring potatoes there. They’ll become too strong, unstoppable.

Clearly then emojis are made by aliens.

Don’t worry baby. I’ve got you.

Learning new languages is overrated and unnecessary, as it is clear that emojis will be the language of the future.

Such a magnificent beast. Nature can be surprising.

Is this… By design?
