i use revolution (selamectin) from the vet and it's like a fucking flea nuke. if you're getting it soon i wouldn't worry about fleas getting in the house because once you use this stuff it'll clear all of them out of the area in literally hours. fantastic stuff.

also, don't trust any over the counter flea sprays or treatments at stores, they all use neurotoxins that they claim is safe for cats, but some cats are more sensitive and it might cause neurological damage or even death.

can't seem to find what i had seen before with all those details after a quick search but some evidence for the touch vs eating bit is here: here.

Over 60% of the Brazilian people tested had positive antibodies for the bacteria, which is widely accepted as proof of exposure.  This doesn’t mean that looking at or being around an Armadillo that carries leprosy will give it to a human. The researchers collecting the data from the region believed that the transmission occurred because the people there eat the Armadillos.  Since they are abundant, people there hunt and kill them for food, unaware that the Armadillos carry leprosy.

for the life of me i can't remember where i heard it but it was in the last few weeks and i heard not read it so maybe it was a yt video. sorry!

regardless the point is it's pretty rare to catch and nowadays easily treatable and only a small fraction of armadillos have it and we gave it to them 400 yrs ago and in places where people do get infections from armadillos it's in areas where they're so common they're regularly eaten. maybe i was mashing those facts together weirdly in my head.

nvidia only very recently opened up their drivers to open source dev, so the open source drivers available right now are still based on reverse engineering and they don't work super great. there are proprietary drivers from nvidia but they are not easy to install and configure and popos handles that for you on install.

tbf there's a lot more you can do on a pc than browse the internet, and especially considering the time period represented visually and the post text referencing dwarf fortress, i suspect they mean games, single player games particularly.

and the progressive replacement candidate that you're all campaigning for is definitely real and an obvious choice. that's why you're all campaigning for us to vote for them instead in our totally not cancelled primaries precisely because there has been no such challenger in time and definitely not just relitigating old mistakes and common criticisms of the incumbent candidate.

oh wait.

the difference between the lockdowns where there was understandably a drastic drop in crime to after lockdowns were lifted does not a trend make; it's an externality, and the only rise i referenced. comparing pre lockdown to post lockdown there is a clear continued drop in crime overall. i referenced this lockdown 'rise' particularly because it's what media and fascists have used to pursue greater police budgets and stricter laws and campaigning, and it is misleading at best to parrot their fear mongering over 'rising crime' especially without any data to back it up.

except winnie the pooh isn't already a slur, and it kinda does matter the history of the usage of a term if you're trying to determine the intent and usage of it.

literally nobody used the winnie the pooh insult against him because of his race, it was always because he literally looks like the character, and then threw a fit and banned all mention or image of a worldwide-known and beloved fictional character. because he's an unstable tyrant.
