They generally don't breed in large bodies of water where the water is flowing. They moatly breed in the little stagnant pools of water that collect in other spots because of poor drainage or things like tires, empty pots, and other trash being left out in the rain. There exist these little pellets that poison those stagnant puddles for the mosquito, but not your pets. That and proper drainage around your house will do wonders to reduce the excess population. Pointing a fan to blow out at any open window can help too, but proper screens (with a fine enough mesh) would help more. Mosquitoes don't like a stiff breeze.

Elephants (and mammoths probably) are also herbivores that chew their food. Sometimes that food is a whole tree. Using the polar bear sharp bone strategy would be like feeding a razor blade to a wood chipper.

Fair point. And we're back to regular bikes. But I think the fuel supply will still last longer than an e-bike.

Hollywood has been profiting off of remakes basically from the very beginning. Here's a short list of some of the most popular. And before movies, you might be shocked to learn that stage performers regularly "remade" productions originally performed by other groups. Anyone performing Hamlet or that Scottish play after The Globe burned downed is a fucking hack apparently.

That's exactly why repairing any old Honda or Toyota hatchback will be easier than repairing an e-bike.

No, I don't think you can.

The irony of a comment reviewing the bias of some article is that someone else will always claim that the review is also biased. It's inevitable and unavoidable.

Using crontab to execute these kinds of quick fixes that don't really solve the problem so much as reset the countdown to failure are the real Duck tape Linux hacks.

You probably know this and were referring to gummies or something, but it needs to be said that smoking is not advised after a tooth extraction or pretty much any dental work. Not a great idea before hand either as the weed (in any form) can make the drugs that the dentist gives you less effective and coming down from a large dose of those can be a worse pain than the stitches in your mouth.

Try gaffer tape instead. It blocks all the light. It doesn't reflect much light at all. It generally sticks to anything. You can get it in a variety of colors. It doesn't leave as much sticky residue when removed or repositioned. I've not encountered many surfaces (expect painted surfaces) that it actually damages when carefully removed. I use black gaffer tape on basically all my electronic stuff: one strip to cover the whole light, two strips a razor's edge width apart so that I can still see the indicator if I try but otherwise 99.9% of the light is blocked, or a strip with a folded over tab at one end for the displays I want to block %100 of the light %90 of the time.

Duct tape, duck tape, electrical tape, masking tape all really suck unless you love that sticky gunky residue they inevitably leave on everything. Gaffer tape isn't perfect, but it's much better for this kind of semi-temporary light blocking without too much surface damage kind of job.

Recently ran into this with an artist that did a cover of a song by a popular band from 40ish years ago and the cover artist had the gal to date their song to earlier than the original so it looked like they were the original when you searched for the song. The only clue to their trickery was to drill down into the individual song credits and the fan that they were a no name artist that self-labelled their genre as 80s rock, like no artist from the actual era would. Spotify will outright refuse to fix any of this bad metadata and tells you to contact their label, as if that will ever work.
