One near me is having an issue with rats. I think really they just need better trash pickup mainly, and better shelters in general, but they've specifically asked for help getting rat poison. Would bait boxes with poison even make a dent in an outdoor environment like that? I can't singlehandedly improve the cleanliness of the camp or get everyone rat-proof shelter obviously, but I feel like just going straight for the poison could have adverse consequences and not be effective, potentially.

Asking for a friend

...would it also make sense for hotter communities to have "cooling plants"? Idk how that would work but it was just a weird thought I had.

I thought I could deal without a notification LED on my new Oneplus phone, but it's honestly driving me a little nuts. I'm looking for a watch that looks like a nice watch (preferably analog), but also connects to my phone and has a notification LED. I remember seeing this sort of thing being more common 5 to 10-ish years ago but I'm not having much luck tracking one down now.

I literally do not need any other features. No fitness tracking, no GPS, no music, no speakerphone, no nothing. If it has them, fine, but I won't need or use them. All I want is a little LED that lets me know in a timely manner that a notification popped up on my phone, on a watch that looks like a classy watch, and with a companion app that isn't a subpar piece of shit.

I'm okay with having to charge it maybe every few weeks, but I will be damned if I get some stupid overpriced gadget that needs a daily charge and makes me look like a techbro.

Pitbulls are demon spawns apparently.

Chihuahuas are yappy rats

Small dogs are uppity

The only acceptable dog in the minds of these Lifetime brained weirdos is a golden retriever. These people should not be allowed near any animal

Euros are pretty weird with their dog breed hatred as well

Not even “install”. Elect. Lol

Hello, I am in my last year of uni, my relationship with my classmates is not very good, leaving that topic aside, what do you recommend I do before finishing school?

Louisiana and Quebec are both settler-colonial territories at the mouths of major navigable rivers, and both have a history of Francophony. But why was French broadly displaced by English in Louisiana, while this has not happened in Quebec? What are the different historical factors that led to these different outcomes? In particular, what were the roles of the rivers, if any? What is the present language situation in these regions, and what would you predict the future language situations of these regions to look like?

Not only for beating the buffoon she couldn't, proving she lost because she's just that unlikable, but also "stealing her thunder" by being the first lady president?

Outwards they'll be all smiles ofc, but you know it would eat them inside.

There appears to be a Python cli for meshtastic. I'm attempting to get it set up with a mac.

Has anyone done this? I can't see the actual device. I don't have the setup on me. Suggestions are good. Drivers were downloaded.

Has anyone ever tabulated how many people are barred from the franchise because they recieved felony convictions due to Biden's famous crime bill?

Oops hit the wrong comm.

How do y'all feel about banana pudding? Yea? Nay?

I'll start off by pointing out that last 3 primaries have been some kind of funny business.

• 2016: Bernie snuffed by Hillary with shady tactics that lead to the D losing to Trump (lol).
• 2020: Everyone drops like flies to support Biden (sus, but allegedly because Trump and Covid were bad).
• 2024: Biden waits until the last second to announce dropping, there seems to be momentum to skip the Primary and go with Kamala Harris.

Assuming everything I've stated is accurate-enough, do you think the average person is likely to feel like this isn't Democracy? Or will this be business as usual for the US? Will the absence of censorship on tiktok be likely change anything?

For this reason, until there is a primary that Kamala wins, I want every mention of Kamala Harris to be prefixed with a formal title like Kamala Harris, the appointed, the unelected, in a similar vein as Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen.

So after doing a bit of searching I found this article: https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/3-ways-increase-estrogen-naturally

This seems like a bit more of a realistic plan for designing foods/drinks that help boost estrogen levels. Not a substitute for HRT by any means, but rather something that could supplement/enhance it that is also relatively safe to consume regularly.

I've been told that he does.

Or do we vote for our first black woman for president, or still vote 3rd party? Is she still too far right to push left? Do we think as registered Dems we could get concessions? Very coded but I'd rather have more time to go in all honesty. Harm reduction yada yada. But I'd rather not have an escalation of violence, whether explicit or implicit from the right. We could also try to challenge incumbent Dems and get more new blood into the system and see if that can shake things up for the better. Maybe she's hiding her power level and will go all Hey, at least we've gotten the old stubborn man to listen, Jack!

I'm old and out of touch.🤷

I can't help it

1. Trump’s head is fully exposed to hundreds of people with elevation advantage (lol at that one agent shielding Trump’s fat head with his hand)
2. Secret service detail is entirely focused on moving the large son, they seem to have complete tunnel vision. Someone could’ve jumped out the stand and get a few stabs in even if they were immediately shot
3. The only SWAT guy is also point man and he seems to be doing cursory checks in his path (like there’s no way he can spot a threat in the crowds on each side of him).
4. The camera pans to the exit, and there’s still like 50 attendees around the area, a couple of local cops without weapons drawn just standing around like they’re waiting for a burger, and Trump’s detail is all focused on pushing his ass into the limo without really monitoring the surroundings

I know they have snipers at the event, but how many? Surely not enough to monitor the entire crowd of thousands while a dozen or so people are entirely focused on a narrow path. I know bodyguards’ are primarily task with moving the VIP to safety, but why is no one telling anyone to move back or have more people guarding the path? In this video and others, you can see random photographers running right up to the security’s pathway to snap photos. Surely this is a potential threat during an assassination attempt

I was thinking to myself that it's cool how YouTube poops are making a mini comeback, which got me thinking of other memes I wish would make a comeback.

I have a soft spot for the "I heard you like X so we put X in your X" meme, but I dunno if people remember Pimp my Ride lol.

Seriously.

So I got homework from my therapist for the week, she really wants me to connect with other queer people on a wider level, like going to pride or something like that. She also told me I should ask here, she thinks Hexbear is really cool. As someone who was raised as a christian in a heavy red state, I've never been socialized with other queer people. I have no idea where to go to meet more queer people. I feel like this is my entry stage into organizing. What do y'all do?
