- Comment on How do I beat the roaches in this house? 2 days ago:
I used to live in a house hopelessly infested. My family is clean. We nuked, to no avail. Even if you don’t leave food behind, the fuckers will find things to eat. Examples of things the roaches ate in that house:
- my favorite boot soles (leather)
- cold porcelain souvenirs
- wax used to lubricate drawers
- rotting wood from the actual wall panels
- debris stuck in brushes (hair and tooth brushes)
- paper
You can’t win. They probably have plenty of food in the form of decomposing organic matter inside the walls. For example dead animals, mold, rotting wood or else. I’ve had some success sealing with OCD levels of precision every single possible gap in the floor, wardrobes, walls, you name it. But there is always this or that thing you can’t seal such as power point sockets or else.

Cabbage does store better than most greens, but no, not as long as a preserve would.

Nice, thank you!

That’s a cool read, thanks for sharing
- Comment on What would be ancient ways to properly store vitamin C? 1 week ago:
Yes, that’s an option but it’s not a long life preservation method which is what I’m asking about. It’s just hunting/ gathering fresh food like anywhere else.
- Comment on What would be ancient ways to properly store vitamin C? 1 week ago:
Yes, but you can’t shelf citrus for like a year. I’m asking about long life preservation methods, not necessarily for sailors back in the day but in general.
- Comment on What would be ancient ways to properly store vitamin C? 1 week ago:
I think the record I’ve seen apples last without refrigeration was two months, three maybe with a fridge. They were shriveled and slimy and gross but still edible. Not sure how well the C preserved, apples aren’t notorious for large quantities of it anyway.
Citrus is a bit less long lasting, either drying out or succumbing to mold.

- Comment on Mexico's export revenue shot up 10.6% in June, with manufacturing leading the way 4 weeks ago:
Lots of numbers in the article, it’s a straight to the point read if you’re interested, but here’s the thing: the increase is a direct result from the tariffs. Mexico still sells in spite of them. Apparently US will increase the tariffs for mexico to 30% in August

- Comment on I turned 30 yesterday but I look 18. Nobody believes me when I tell them my age. What do I do? Do I date a 20 year old guy or a 35 year old guy who looks twice my age? 4 weeks ago:
Date someone you feel comfortable with beyond appearances. Because that’s what relationships rely on.
Unless you plan on staying looking like you’re 18 until you die, or forever if you’re not planning to die, then yes just date hot guys under 25 only, indefinitely.
- Comment on Puerto Rico Criminalizes Gender-Affirming Care for People Under 21 4 weeks ago:
Is it necessary to criminalize though? You can make it illegal, which I also don’t agree with, but find slightly more reasonable than downright criminal

- Comment on GET BOMBADEERED, IDIOT 5 weeks ago:
After knowing about the meme I looked up the movie and I’m sure I watched at least part of it when I was a kid, on air tv. I remembered the bug designs, which were the reason it caught my interest, I remember the action scenes with the bugs were fun, but I also remembered the plot and acting was a bit lacking.
I didn’t remember the “I’m from Bs. As.” line, I’m sure I would have found that absolutely hilarious even back then. Maybe I forgot or maybe I got too distracted during the several commercial breaks and missed some bits, can’t say
