The "Back up, Terry" video is a classic that we all commemorate every year.
This is the highest quality version of it that I have seen.
Happy 250, America!
@PriestEmperor@0xpatterns@Hippie_of_Love She passed away a few years ago actually. I’m still around, but am not verified so you don’t see me much anymore. I still come on Twitter daily
if a doctor who graduated medical school says you need something, it should be illegal for someone sitting behind an insurance desk with absolutely zero medical training to deny you coverage...
If you have a bug zapper up, it's time to take that shit down.
A landmark University of Delaware study (Frick and Tallamy, 1996) counted nearly 14,000 insects killed by residential bug zappers over a single summer.
Mosquitoes were 31 of them. A mere 0.22%.
The other 99.78% were moths, beetles, midges, fireflies, and the night-shift pollinators your yard depends on.
Mosquitoes don't navigate by light. They find you by your carbon dioxide, body heat, and skin chemistry. Your bug zapper is invisible to them and lethal to almost everything else.
Harvard Medical School's Zika page specifically warns against bug zappers because they may increase mosquito populations by killing the predators that eat them.
What actually works: eliminate standing water within 100 feet of where you spend time outside.
Bug zappers are 1970s technology built on a 1970s misunderstanding of mosquitoes. It's time to take it down.
Damn, 12 years?
I don’t even see the tweeps I used to.
A lot has changed on this app.
Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary#MyTwitterAnniversary
Trump took $59 million from 590,000 Americans for a phone that may never exist.
Then quietly updated the terms:
“No guarantee a phone will be produced or sold.”
The crypto coin. The sneakers. The Bible. The gold card. The ballroom. The phone.
Every single time the same pattern.
Take the money. Change the terms. Walk away.
