Mosquito dunks kill larvae. It's used as a mosquito population control in warmer areas. Me and a few neighbors used it this year with good results.
Get a 5 gallon bucket, add water/grass/leaves/dunk and let it sit for a few weeks. Every few weeks add more dunks. Put a stick in there so small animals don't get stuck when trying to get a drink.

Satellites will never be the internet backbone. Straight line paths over fiber will always be more efficient for carrying bulk traffic.

But then you'd have to upgrade past 18, meaning the liquid glass abomination.

Insurers are only allowed to keep a % as profits. Higher spending increases the absolute amount of profit that can be retained.

I just checked the American approval of ousting Maduro. It's surprisingly lower than I expected. About an even 33/33/33 split for yes/unsure/no.

There are so many bugs in iOS 26 I've personally experienced. I'd believe anything at this point.
I keep opening my phone "favorites" section and it erroneously reports no favorites. They either eventually load after seconds+ or I have to force close to get them to show.
