Regular mowers have a person which animal can recognize as a threat and run away. They may not bother running from an automated mower I imagine.

Might sound stupid, but perhaps then they shouldn’t be offering services like Disney Plus and instead simply offer a car that lets you download any streaming app you have your own subscription for.

Products that change the service they offer after you purchase it should also be eligible for a full refund (plus a % on top for the hassle). Such as offering a service through the product for free at the time of purchase but then moving it being a monthly subscription paywall later on, or just removing the feature completely.

There should almost be some sort of technological transfer to nearby empires, like cultural influence. If your neighbour is at 10000 tech points or whatever while you are at 1000, you should be able to leech some tech points from your neighbour to develop faster.

Transfer rate increases with the disparity between nations and decreases with distance.

So a super advanced empire on continent A will contribute to nations on continent A and B, but those on continent A get more of a bonus than those on B.

This aligns fairly well with reality as neighbouring countries would transfer students to universities all the time, less so the further the nations are apart.

Depends on the location. Mosquito control is done all over, but I’m only somewhat familiar with north america.

It’s pretty widespread in the United States where it’s done by government employees at the municipal and county level I believe. They do use a fair bit of aerial spraying in certain areas though as I understand since there is a high concern of certain diseases being spread in certain areas.

In Canada it’s mostly done by private companies (ironic I know) with a few areas being done by the government, and it’s mostly done just because of nuisance and negative economic effects from outdoor workers and tourism so aerial spraying of chemicals is pretty much not done at all except for one major city which is phasing it out.

If you live anywhere in north America that’s nearby a river, coast, swampland, or significant snowmelt into he spring, you may have a local mosquito control program.

I never even knew the control programs existed until I came across the job postings and got hired, but they are fairly wide spread.

They’ll also pop holes in your tires in the winter trying to eat the road salt off of them.

And then PlayStation 6 will come out in like a year or something. Why would anyone buy this when they could wait for the ps6?

We don’t use aerial spraying, which can cause harm to other insects.

We only use a bacteria that’s put in standing water which only harms mosquitos in their larval form (or biting black flies) and is totally safe for pretty much everything else since it needs very specific biological conditions for it to become toxic, which is only found in the stomachs of mosquitos and black flies.

If you average it out over the year it’s probably a few million per day.

I view phoning someone like popping over to their house and knocking on the door to chat with no prior warning. No one likes that.

Plus I prefer to have things in writing so I don’t forget a small detail, or if someone fucks up and I can point out exactly what I told them needed to be done.

Solar fields and random trees growing out of the ground do not mix well…

After 30 or so roll calls and doing them every day I’m pretty sure you would remember that Greg goes by Molly. It’s not that hard to remember your students’ names.

Unless every kid in your class has a different name then maybe it might get difficult, but at that point the roll call paper would be pointless and they may as well just print it with the preferred names on it

They probably should just print it with the preferred names anyways.

I don’t even understand why I need to make a password for some sites anymore. They send a code to my phone everytime.to make.sure it’s me so it seems like there’s practically no point.

Every update with these new UI changes seems to increase empty wasted space each time

Why do they need to filter?

Can’t they easily tell that an account bought a certain product? Only allow those accounts to make a review, and only accounts that have made a certain number of purchases before.

Because that’s where they trick you. They sell you something as if it’s a good deal when really it’s not, and they make a ton of money by selling the same thing to 50 other people.

Hammas must have like 1000 bases of operation all in schools, mosques, and hospitals.

A base of operation must be one guy talking with a civilian.

Eh, it’s just a service in exchange for money. Just like a massage parlour or spa or doctor or chiropractor or hair stylist. Sex isn’t special.

You need to book it because you are not the only person who “owns” it. Many people do, and usually you can only book like 1-2 weeks a year or something.

Despite paying the full price of an apartment you’re only really buying 1/52 of an apartment

Plus they have you pay a bunch of maintenance fees which can be a few hundred to thousands a year.
