It's a brilliant idea - in theory. Just remember that this sort of thing doesn't happen in the wild. They're also not intelligent. Who know what will happen. In fact, you may make matters worse by attracting more ant colonies near your home to stage the next future invasion. After all, that pheromone bomb is enticing even if worthless to them.

My point is that this theory should be tried and tested elsewhere first and not use your own home as a test subject. Otherwise, you could be taking a step forwarded while taking two steps back in the process.

The danger of diatomaceous earth is in how it's applied. Because it contains silica, you don't want to be breathing that stuff in while puffing it into walls, cracks, and floorboards without a breathing mask. Once settled, it's more or less harmless. Just be sure none of it's in plain site or in the carpet as it may cause respiratory irritation for pets and crawling babies.

So what's eating the main load of 1,750? That a lot for home electronics in a single room.

If you're going to make meth, it's advised to not use the "shake-n-bake" process as It's been known to burn down buildings. Just sayin.

Maybe just because he/she CAN and that's the only answer you'll ever get.

Well yes, because the conversation is no longer between you, but possibly being recorded or streamed live on-line. If I'm going to be judged in public by people half way around the world, I want to know who exactly is judging me (which would be in the millions).

Fame? Not for me. I don't care for it, I don't want it. An any fame I get would be in a negative light anyways.

Without regard to whether or not anthropogenic climate change is real: Which papers get published are largely a function of who's on the editorial board of each publication. If those boards are stacked with people holding a particular position, they tend to publish only papers which agree with that position.

Yes, I imagine it's very beautiful in your mind

No, the Super aEgis II (sentry gun) is the ultimate "Aimbot". I wouldn't fucking go near one of those in a time of war. Hell, I wouldn't walk in front one even if someone told me it was in shutdown mode.

And YOU are ranting based on words that didn't address prescribed drugs. Which makes you drama queen with no reading comprehension, and someone having a shrill hissy fit over which I imagine your late mother would be embarassed, since observations about the hemp-obsessed subculture have absolutely nothing to do with the nature of her demise. I do like your fantastically ironic bitching about arrogance, though. Fine work.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. From what I've been able to determine, the governments in central and northern Europe / Scandinavia just seem to generally work better than do the U.S., U.K., and southern European governments. I'm not going to pretend I know why, but it's looking very, very attractive to me. (I may be particularly sensitized to the issue at the moment, as federal budget sequestration is causing me major problems.)

But does it really fail to solve the problem? Because at least in my case so far, it seems to have had precisely the effect the you said the locals wanted.

But I guess there are varying definitions of success. I suspect that, rightly or wrongly, they would rather have me: a highly educated person who wants to learn the local non-English languages and integrate with the culture, over some EU citizen who just wants to take advantage of generous welfare benefits.

I live outside the EU, but I'm looking to develop software in Switzerland. Apparently it's so difficult for a Swiss company to get a work visa for non-EU (Schengen area) workers, that they're almost never willing to go through the effort.

Unfortunately, the best way to get permission to live within a EU country is to have a job waiting for you. The chicken-and-egg problem is rather vexing.

Well that's just, like, your opinon, man.

True, though. But this is still just about stoners looking for another avenue. A familiar refrain from the crowd that thinks they'd be better off with a tires, a spouse, underwear, and air craft carriers all made out of hemp.
