I’ll make sure to mention you when I talk to the FBI

Very unpopular opinion: good. I love cats, but they are a pest when outside as they kill the local population.

If you have a cat, don’t let them outside of your property unless you hate ecosystems.

Laser-carrying mosquitoes or mosquito-killing lasers?

Maybe you’re onto something ;)

Malware

(P<0.05; 0.00) seems incidental with the study size and honestly I can’t see how could they smell the blood type.

(I’m not saying they can’t, I’m saying I would like to know how.)

I’m saying it may be incidental because the paper doesn’t define if the population from where mosquitoes fed had a higher or lower O-type density, nor their distribution.

Mosquitoes find their prey using three senses:
First by CO2, as mammals will be releasing it in big quantities (though they also bite reptiles). Second, by body smell, which as others here have mentioned, diet and genetics may dictate how it is affected. Third by shape (that’s when they are already there) and are trying to figure out where to stick it.

The first one is hard to fix, so for the second I’ll recommend icaridin or, if not available DEET, and in gel form not spray. DEET can be a skin irritant, hence why is less preferred.

Spray though is sometimes used when applying it to clothing, as it also may have your smell attached to it.

For the third one, I haven’t seen conclusive data but a lot of observational studies: from wearing light-colored ample clothing that doesn’t define the limbs to (I guess) wearing stripes like a zebra.

And a lifetime in humid climates like the Bayou.

As someone said on this thread: as soon as they can convince legislators, even if they are murder machines, capital will go for it.

Borrowing from my favorite movie: “it’s just a glitch”.

I have both opinions: certain canvas bags will last you a lifetime and even you can fix them if necessary. Most stores sell you “bags for life” that aren’t either recyclable (truly) nor meant to last a year of daily usage, probably because they are cheaping out on the materials and production.

So we still end with a pile of garbage.

However, I am against single-use anything and would say that promoting truly lasting bags should be a priority over trying to figure out a solution for a single facet of a large issue.

This is some captain planet bullshit.

In our thoughts and prayers.

I would recommend DevilutionX for the moment, as Tchernobog is still rough around the edges and slightly harder to install (the first have some clear instructions and it’s rather straightforward).

Still if you want to play it, there’s a forum in Tchernobog’s page and from what I’ve seen there some YouTube’s guides are available.

I installed both using Lutris…

While impressive, do yourself a favor and play with the quality mod “DevilutionX”, or alternatively “Tchernobog”, which is still getting updates.

Basically they iron out a lot of issues Diablo has due to its age and make it truly enjoyable.

Not here. Not in town.

Quentin Tarantino?

That’s probably why science dwellers are so bent on finding microscopic life outside of earth.

At this rate, generation wasteland.

So, did it work? Did it cure him?

And the places
