Re: Butterfly nets are better than fly swatters
I had an ant issue once, where they entered through a crack on the balcony, crossed the dinette, kitchen, and living room, and made a trail down the public hallway towards a neighbor who was on the Board of Directors. I put ant poison in the hole, caulked it up, and placed ant traps along the route...

Re: Butterfly nets are better than fly swatters
I'm a fan of this (A$2.80) flyspray.JPG It's for "flies, mosquitoes, spiders, ants, cockroaches, fleas and silverfish". Lately there would sometimes be about 100 ants just swarming around in the kitchen (e.g. honey or near a bin). Sprayed some of this - they're all dead. It can kill things even if t...

Around that time he also said he wanted to put a rocket under me. A book called "Talk Language" also discouraged the use of "you kn...

Re: Child labor vs effective education - which is worse?
OK. But I was thinking more along the 'child labor versus' point. Child labor would be a worse option for a child who could be effectively educated. But yes, if you interpret as a child for whom education is almost certain to fail, I see what you are getting at. I thought kids that aren't good at s...

Re: Child labor vs effective education - which is worse?
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Neil-Postman#ref1198654 In The Disappearance of Childhood (1982), Postman claimed that childhood is essentially a social artifact. Its origin was closely linked to the printing press and the growth of literacy, which made possible the segregation of groups into c...

Re: What are you watching?
I just finished watching the first episode of the Mandalorian. It has 20+ episodes so I thought they'd stretch it out a lot - but they packed so much stuff into the episode. I think they went onto at least three planets and there were lots of characters. Then the episode finished with the guy meetin...
