I use this with moderate success. I think my limited success is the nature of the creek constantly cycling out water.

In the US they can be bought as mosquito bits/dunks https://summitchemical.com/products/mosquito-bits/

It is important to note this is not a poison. It is a naturally occurring bacteria that is harmless to the food chain (Bacillus thuringiensis). That is important to me and, I think, a lot of others.

I had a really interesting conversation with my conservative, boomer, mom the other day. She talked about being young and working a job and on payday she would cash her check and the first thing she would do is get an avocado and sprout sandwich from a local restaurant down in southern California in the 60s.

 

I am trying to slowly peel away from Google and my next task is Google Calendar. I currently have a couple shared calendars with other people and I'm not going to be able to break them free from Google quite yet. I have a next cloud server I was hoping to set up to be my primary source but I need to be able to interact with the shared calendars as well. Can I create a group calendar and have other persons, Google Calendar sync to it?

I'm not married to Next Cloud. It was just what I have available. I can do a different setup if that would work better.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

And they need to keep asking questions that piss him off.

I'm on the 7th and most recent.

The thru line meanders a bit, but not too bad. I wish I had read them chronological instead of in order (5 and 6 are swapped, and 6 is a bit different tone)

I think of them as popcorn books. Very light, quick reads. I actually read the first two on a flight back from Europe. Definitely fun, somewhat predictable/formulaic but it doesn't take anything away for me.

It's because they used the prequel bullshit by Kevin J. Anderson as a basis. He is a shit writer.

I would much rather see a God Emperor series. There is so much you could do with that.

So they are trying to force the company to admit, "no we are still committed to anti-consumer policies to boost profits", is that the point?

Where did you get this, or did you build it yourself?

My dad was a Coastie. He signed up during the Vietnam war. He liked to say 'we SAVE lives'.

I definitely remember hearing "Here put this helmet and [thick] jacket on"... "Stay there and wait" etc

I was the younger brother. I was "willing" to do a lot of things I knew were bad ideas.
