Remember, it's illegal to use your phone while driving. Instead, use the giant iPad built into the car and flip through 50 settings to use navigation or turn ac on.

Before you reach for the insecticide spray, point the hose at them.

A hard stream of water knocks aphids off the plant clean. They're soft-bodied, slow, and can't easily climb back up once they're on the ground. Whatever the hose misses, the ladybugs will handle.

Here's the trap with broad insecticide sprays: aphids reproduce in days, ladybugs take weeks. Spray both and the aphids refill the plant before the predators can recover.

Glue trap sales need to drop to zero. They don't just catch mice, they catch whatever walks across them.

Wildlife rehabbers document birds, lizards, snakes, and bats coming in stuck to glue traps every season, pulled out of garages and barns by people who had no idea. Whatever lands on one dies slowly, which is also true of the mouse you were trying to catch.

A live trap with a dab of peanut butter costs about four dollars and catches the same mouse without the bycatch. Check it daily, drive the mouse at least a mile out, and release it.

The UK banned glue traps for general sale in 2022. You can help by not buying them.

@NYCMayor Coming through for the people!

Kudos!

The single biggest irrigated crop in America isn't corn, wheat, or soybeans. It's not even avocados or almonds. It's lawn.

We grow more grass than any food crop in the country, around 40 million acres of it, and almost none of it feeds a single living thing.

Think about how strange that is. We took a grass that isn't even from here, planted it coast to coast, and now we pour water, fertilizer, and pesticide into keeping it short, green, and perfectly useless.

To a bee, a butterfly, or a bird hunting caterpillars for its chicks, a manicured lawn is a desert. Nothing to eat, nowhere to nest, mile after mile of it.

But here's the good news, maybe the easiest win on this whole account: you don't have to fix the entire desert. You just have to claw back a corner.

Pick one strip. The hellstrip by the sidewalk, the run along the fence, that awkward patch you hate mowing anyway. Stop mowing it and plant it with native flowers, a few black-eyed Susans, some bee balm, a couple of coneflowers. That's it. No ripping out the whole yard, no fight with anybody. Just convert one piece.

And that piece stops being dead space and starts being habitat: bees, butterflies, and birds showing up to a spot that offered them nothing a year ago.

Now picture your neighbor doing the same, and the one after that. That's how a desert turns back into a meadow, one reclaimed corner at a time.

Not a Vegas fan, but Brayden McNabb took a 87 mile an hour slapshot in the nose, had reconstructive procedures with ~30 stitches and played the next game.

Leon Draisaitl played through 2 series with a high ankle sprain 3 years ago, putting up on of the most dominant playoff performances in recent memory in the process. That's an injury that no football, soccer, or basketball player would play through. Arguably most NHL players wouldn't play with this injury either.

Patrice Bergeron played game 6 of the 2013 finals with a punctured and collapsed lung, broken ribs, torn rib cartilage and a separated shoulder.

Hockey players are just built different.

Also, the cup requires three things:

1. The favour of the hockey gords.
2. Timing (ie. team composition, being on the upswing at the right time, Carolina is a great example this year)
3. Sheer will to win at all costs.

Stop calling it a culture war. It is a class war.
They use culture war to divide you all so they can operate freely. You're worried about a gay person, a trans person while these Epstein Class elites are robbing you all BLIND.
