@NASCARONFOX How was he hospitalized for severe illness then dies at a simulator/training facility?

@512berlinettabi Can you feel that it’s a flat boxer engine? I’ve only driven Subaru and ridden in Porsche’s with flat sixes and I love the feel of it.

When ant hills start cropping up all over the yard, the knee-jerk reaction for many is to sprint to the hardware store for a jug of heavy-duty, synthetic pesticide. But before flooding the lawn with harsh chemicals that can affect pets, helpful pollinators, and the local soil, it pays to look inside the kitchen pantry.

A remarkably effective, non-toxic hack for managing an ant problem requires nothing more than mixing equal parts baking soda and powdered sugar.
Here is exactly how it works and why it is so effective:

The Science Behind the Secret

The Bait: Ants have a massive sweet tooth, but they are incredibly smart foragers. They will easily sniff out and avoid pure baking soda. However, when it is meticulously mixed with finely ground powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar), they cannot separate the two. The sweetness masks the deterrent, drawing them in.

The Mechanism: Baking soda is highly alkaline. When ants consume it, it reacts with the acidic fluids in their digestive systems. Because ants cannot expel internal gas the way mammals can, the sudden chemical reaction is fatal to them.

The Delivery: Foragers won't just eat it on the spot; they will carry this sweet, lethal mixture back to the heart of the colony, effectively taking care of the root of the problem.

How to Apply It

Simply blend a 50/50 mix of the two ingredients in a container and shake well. Sprinkle it directly around the perimeter of active mounds or along known ant trails.

Other All-Natural Alternatives

If baking soda isn’t on hand, a few other household staples can disrupt pest patterns naturally:

White Vinegar: Spraying a simple solution of vinegar and water along entry points dissolves the scent trails ants use to navigate, leaving them completely disoriented.

Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade): A completely natural powder made from fossilized algae. It is harmless to humans and pets but breaks down the exoskeletons of crawling insects on contact.

Essential Oils: Peppermint, tea tree, and citrus oils act as powerful natural repellents. A few drops near windows and doors keep unwanted visitors at bay.

Relying on massive chemical interventions isn't always necessary to keep a property balanced. Sometimes, the safest, cheapest, and most elegant solutions are already sitting right next to the baking supplies.

Today marks 30 years since the 1996 Monaco GP, and there is only one way to describe this race: Absolute Chaos
The winner was Olivier Panis starting from P14, in a race in which only 3 cars finished

O que aconteceu em Le Mans em 1999 foi um erro de física que a Mercedes tentou esconder por décadas. Esse carro não bateu, ele literalmente decolou porque o design aerodinâmico era tão instável que qualquer vácuo transformava a pista em uma pista de decolagem.

@the_no_mind Thank you for this, I was switching back & forth by what I felt like I could read better on a given night but now I know to stay on black

@CarSighting They put the four speed in it IIRC and one day one gear failed and Marcus got to stage end and yell at the reporter to tell the team manager I guess you can tell the team boss apparently only 3 is enough. Marcus was as funny as Raikkonen was in F1

@KensethFan17_20 Like eyedrops, use nose spray sparsely just only as needed because overuse can just make it more likely to have red eyes or nose bleeds

@CarSighting @Mike_M_Klotz This sounds crazy but we got to Mid-Ohio very early on the first day in 09 and went straight to Flying Lizards and they were amused by our enthusiasm and let us sit in the #45 so when I watched this I was blown away that it was the chassis we sat in.

@dabfordale For me Ryan Blaney is the reason why I still check in on NASCAR even though oddly I have lost interest in sports as a whole for some reason (except for going to an MLB game)

XR (Red) is what I have now my parents upgraded to Air so gave me an 11 haven’t used it it’s a backup now for when the XR becomes outdated or dies
I actually dumbly left it in a pocket and sent it through the washing machine and it recovered and still works fine

@tuuu28283 Cars, pictures of the scenery and buildings, and what I perceived to be the culture which I now see through X interactions is like what I was thinking it might be.

[Michael Vinch @AcumenGT]

@tuuu28283 For me early on, I didn’t use a tablet and so I got Samsung phones but my Android tablets turned out to have issues so I switched to iPad and enjoy the integration with my iPhone, texts going both. I still use my old xR from 2020 and it still works fine!

@Xgian @wholemars Yep. Kia Forte, look around you, all the EX GDI models disappeared from the road including my 2014 before it should have including mine, metal in the oil

@hallocopen_gr What are the situations around drug use in Japan? I began arming myself when even in a safe neighborhood someone on crack cocaine showed up on my parents porch in the middle of the night and I was the only one home and he was banging on the glass door.

@humippa Thank you it is an interesting technical track

@Saganismm And there’s the issue of the infinite regress’ whereby either somehow the universe just formed on its own or God did. Who knows what happened but in my other reply I finally said that it was God
