This is why I’ll never respect men. Came up with that whole elaborate ass plan and couldn’t even make sure the marketplace pick up was in the same area as he was cheating. No attention to detail.
The best mosquito repellent for your patio costs $20 and runs on a wall outlet: a fan.
Mosquitoes are terrible fliers with a top speed of about 1-2 miles an hour, slower than you walk, and they struggle to make headway against even a gentle breeze. Point an oscillating fan at your outdoor seating area and they'll physically struggle to get to you.
It works on two levels too. A mosquito finds you by following the plume of carbon dioxide you exhale, plus the heat and scent rising off your skin. A fan scatters all of it and erases the trail that leads them in. So it knocks them out of the air and helps hide you from their senses at the same time.
This isn't folk wisdom. The CDC notes that fans reduce mosquito landings, and studies have found that using a fan can substantially reduce mosquito bites.
Citronella candles offer only modest protection and are generally much less effective than a fan or EPA-registered repellents. Plug in a fan, aim it at the table, and take your evening back.
🐅 The Crocodile Killer – Machali (T-16)
Born around 1997 in Ranthambore National Park, Machali quickly became one of the most famous and beloved tigresses in India. She wasn’t just beautiful — she was incredibly strong and fearless, ruling a huge territory around the lakes.
Her most legendary moment happened in 2003 at Rajbagh. A massive mugger crocodile, around 12–14 feet long (nearly 4 meters) and almost twice her weight, entered her territory near the water. It was threatening her cubs.
Machali didn’t hesitate. She charged straight into battle. The fight was long, brutal, and intense. The crocodile used its powerful jaws to drag her into the water, but she fought back with raw strength and speed. In the chaos, she lost two of her canines, but in the end, she killed the giant crocodile. The old video of this fight is still going viral even today.
Even after losing her canines and later becoming blind in one eye, Machali kept hunting successfully, defending her territory, and raising multiple litters. She lived to 19 years old — an insane age for a wild tigress. Her bloodline still runs strong in Ranthambore’s tigers today.

@turntineforwhat i'm glad it happened to you then. instead of sharing and helping others who are experiencing similar symptoms you want them to go digging through your profile for breadcrumbs? whatever it was, it couldn't have happened to a better person
Let's assume, for argument's sake, that Nithya Raman really did, unlikely as it seems, got to second place in the LA mayoral race. The problem is that many, many, MANY of us simply cannot believe it. It seems for all the world like fraud. This matters, & is going to matter more.
