I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck her too"
Said if I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Hah, now ain't that some shit? (Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best
With a "Fuck you" (Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

-- Fuck You, Ceelo Green

@freemo LOL youโ€™ll discover during your stay here, there are many things the Thais do differently to us โ€œfarangs. Thatโ€™s one of the many things that makes them so charming!

Im a little crazy about shaving. Though i dont always shave or shave often but when i do im a bit anal about it. First off i use an old school safety razor, but the three half blade kind rather than a single double blade. I also only use the razor for about 3 shaves then replace it. I also remove clean and dru the individual blades between shaves, oil them and store them outside of thr bathroom to avoid humidity. I even rotate the blades between shaves.

In case you arent familiar with half blade safety razors i attached a picture.

After just 5 minutes you can see the ants going crazy for the poison.

So been dealing with an ant problem and finally found a solution. The main problem was the ants just wouldnt find or go to the the poison traps. So it wasnt effective. But I found a way to fix that.

Leave some food out so you have a line of marching ants going to and from it. Most likely this already happened if you realize you have an ant problem at all.

Go to the end of the ant trail that is close to the food but where the trail is still a tight line (as it gets close to the food they will spread out to cover the food). Take a drop of cooking oil about 2/3ths the width of the poison container and put it directly on the ants making the trail. Then take a paper towel and wipe a very wide streak (a good meter should do it) in both directions from the blob. This will create a tin coat of oil the ants can not walk over (it will get on their feet and then they cant stick to stuff so they avoid it)..

At this point the ants will try to find a way around the barrier and will start trying to look for a way around the oil. Take your poison trap and place it exactly where you put the oil, right in the middle of the line of ants. make sure the streak of oil is thin enough that the trap creates a complete bridge (if any oil pokes out from under the trap it wont work).

the ants will quickly find the shortest new path which goes through the trap and across the poison. Once the ants have established a path through the trap to get to the food clean up all the food and leave the trap.

Now the ants will start taking the poison back to their nest instead of the food.

@freemo

this also means that CyberPunk 2077 BE would be in 1534 AD

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar
Lunisolar
A lunisolar calendar is a lunar calendar that compensates by adding an extra month as needed to realign the months with the seasons. Prominent examples of lunisolar calendar are Hindu calendar and Buddhist calendar that are popular in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Another example is the Hebrew calendar, which uses a 19-year cycle.

Today i learned in Thailand they use a totally different way to measure what year it is.

I always thought itnwas odd different coubtries didnt coubt years differently. Seems they do.

Fuck AD i am using BE from now on no matter what coubtry im in!

happy to report that since qoto.org's big instance software updates, elk.zone finally works! finally back using my favourite mastodon web client. still as nice as i remember from back when i was still on ye olde .social

thanks again for your work getting those updates done, @freemo! had a feeling it was some deprecation issue

@freemo My cat did that to strangers but not to me. Ungrateful, she was.

@freemo yeah the black Soi cats are cute. We adopted one and make sure she regularly visits the vets for her vaccinations - whatever she needs. She has a lovely temperament. :ablobsmile:

I made a new thai friend. Now everytkme she sees me on the street i get a "meow" and she comes running over to me full speed for some cuddly head butts. She even lets me pick her up.

@freemo@qoto.org That begs the question: Has she one or three nipples? (or more?!)

@freemo @trinsec she was an eldritch monstrosity escaping human understanding, with x = x + 1 number of breasts?

@freemo@qoto.org I'm going to assume that her odd number of nipples and her becoming your ex are a cause and effect situation

@tyil, I'll like to think the other way around, i.e. @freemo's ex used to have an even number of nipples.

Interesting fact of the day: an opossum is thr only animal with an odd number of nipples. Well, other than my ex girlfriend crystal.

I wish i had a waterproof ereader. If i did i wouod put on my scuba tanks, go sit at the bottom of a pool and read a books for a few hours.

@avlcharlie @mapto @volkris

Now that is a complicated question. But usually the main way its accomplished with what we call antitrust laws. When enforced (and the usa has enforced thrm but not as strongly as it should) they effectively make monopolies illegal.

Of course the other key is keeping corruption in check and money out of politics, which isnlikewise a difficult task to do, but critical to a healthy capitalism
