- Comment on How do I beat the roaches in this house? 1 week ago:
I used to live in a house hopelessly infested. My family is clean. We nuked, to no avail. Even if you don’t leave food behind, the fuckers will find things to eat. Examples of things the roaches ate in that house:
- my favorite boot soles (leather)
- cold porcelain souvenirs
- wax used to lubricate drawers
- rotting wood from the actual wall panels
- debris stuck in brushes (hair and tooth brushes)
- paper
You can’t win. They probably have plenty of food in the form of decomposing organic matter inside the walls. For example dead animals, mold, rotting wood or else. I’ve had some success sealing with OCD levels of precision every single possible gap in the floor, wardrobes, walls, you name it. But there is always this or that thing you can’t seal such as power point sockets or else.

Cabbage does store better than most greens, but no, not as long as a preserve would.

Nice, thank you!

That’s a cool read, thanks for sharing
- Comment on What would be ancient ways to properly store vitamin C? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, that’s an option but it’s not a long life preservation method which is what I’m asking about. It’s just hunting/ gathering fresh food like anywhere else.
- Comment on What would be ancient ways to properly store vitamin C? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but you can’t shelf citrus for like a year. I’m asking about long life preservation methods, not necessarily for sailors back in the day but in general.
- Comment on What would be ancient ways to properly store vitamin C? 2 weeks ago:
I think the record I’ve seen apples last without refrigeration was two months, three maybe with a fridge. They were shriveled and slimy and gross but still edible. Not sure how well the C preserved, apples aren’t notorious for large quantities of it anyway.
Citrus is a bit less long lasting, either drying out or succumbing to mold.

- Comment on When one earbud decides to not charge and I need to remove it from the case and put it back. And I even sometimes don't realize that... 3 weeks ago:
Jabra does it regularly for me. I’m not sure if it’s a brand issue tbh, it could very well be the amount of oils and wax in my ear, which in my opinion isn’t out of the ordinary but it prevents an earbud from recharging properly. Sometimes it won’t do until I wipe with alcohol. Visually there is no difference between before and after wiping.
I’ve complained in the past and I got a lot of Jabra zealots swearing they’ve never had anything like this happen to them. Also I haven’t tried wireless from other brands yet so take that into account.

- Comment on Epic just won its Google lawsuit again, and Android may never be the same 4 weeks ago:
If you were OOTL and confused af, here is a paragraph that makes it easier to understand:
The consequences of the full permanent injunction would stretch far beyond Epic’s own store and its game Fortnite. They would force Google to effectively open up its app store to competition for three whole years. Google would have to distribute other rival app stores within the Google Play store, too, give rivals access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, and it would be banned from a variety of anticompetitive practices including a requirement that apps use Google Play Billing. You can read a summary of the details here.

- Comment on I turned 30 yesterday but I look 18. Nobody believes me when I tell them my age. What do I do? Do I date a 20 year old guy or a 35 year old guy who looks twice my age? 5 weeks ago:
Date someone you feel comfortable with beyond appearances. Because that’s what relationships rely on.
Unless you plan on staying looking like you’re 18 until you die, or forever if you’re not planning to die, then yes just date hot guys under 25 only, indefinitely.

- Comment on Bats the size of a small dog 5 weeks ago:
Flying foxes or fruit bats are very conspicuous and you can find them in many cities, such as Sydney. Wikipedia surely has a page for them, and if you look in Google Maps some popular roosting sites are marked too. Like the other person said, their wingspan is about 1 metre, but the body wouldn’t be larger than a tiny chihuahua’s

After knowing about the meme I looked up the movie and I’m sure I watched at least part of it when I was a kid, on air tv. I remembered the bug designs, which were the reason it caught my interest, I remember the action scenes with the bugs were fun, but I also remembered the plot and acting was a bit lacking.
I didn’t remember the “I’m from Bs. As.” line, I’m sure I would have found that absolutely hilarious even back then. Maybe I forgot or maybe I got too distracted during the several commercial breaks and missed some bits, can’t say
