QuietComfort headphones, these puppies are closing in on 8 years old.

Please to report my QCs did not die. Worked out it was probably the cable, after being able to get some sound through with jiggling it. $7 replacement cable arrived today and we're back to regularly scheduled programming. 😎

For the fungus gnat fighters, I got these sticky sheets in the post today and cut them up into traps approximately the same dimension as these Bunnings ones.

Works out to like 8Β’/trap (or less) instead of $1.29/trap. Being able to make dozens means you can get way more coverage. Also customised the size to be wider for my larger plants, and want to experiment with different shapes just for fun.

They seem to be working, too, in just a few hours many have already caught gnats.

I fortunately clocked and blocked him immediately. The folks he's managed to bait into his subsequent smear campaign (including this defender) are now learning a lesson of their own, lol.

The good news is the more he escalates the less I care -- he comes across as absolutely nutso which makes him way easier to clock.

This guy could be textbook reading materials for the course.

On the subject of things that should really be taught in school, one of my top requests would be Identification and Management of Narcissists.

I've recently had someone go into defend me against a narcissist abuser in my life, and all the defender has managed to do is become a target himself and escalate the narcissist's rage towards me.

Oh dear, my QuietComfort headphones have died overnight. I was just thinking yesterday they're on the way to 8 years old... great innings.

Doing a little DIY project (currently at the what-have-I-done panic stage) and noticed the little pack of sandpaper I have from a "variety" shop is priced at $1.50. Must have bought it in the 80s for it to have been that price.

Treating a BIBLICAL fungus gnat plague right now. This warmth and humidity has clearly horned them up.
