Innocuous things that make you irrationally angry (a list thread)

Where do you put it? Wherever it looks like the ants are getting in?

yep

yknow what I hate? someone ripping the shit out of a tape gun in the middle of a quiet afternoon. and then randomly doing it over...and over...

it's unavoidable. as a serial tape-gun user I understand the conundrum. but that SOUND when you are not expecting it. ugh i hate it

it's like the internal sound of the fabric of my patience being ripped to pieces

I support the creation of a new thread.

So corn starch kills ants, but what about roaches? I wouldn't want to accidentally feed a roach while killing the ants.

boric acid is the thing to use for roaches.

^^^ yes and dont waste any nuclear weapons you might have laying around.

heres a little boric death chamber:

nb borax is different from boric acid. i think borax is safer to play with. i can't seem to find diatomaceous earth but it sounds awesome. my house has some carpet beetles.

omg i'm really hungry and i just wrote differen't and assid

Substances and mixtures imported into the EU which contain Borax are now required to be labelled with the warnings "May damage fertility" and "May damage the unborn child".[23]

huh

unless you're the type of person who feels the need to stack it 6" high at every door and windowsill effectively kill each and every single ant that infiltrates the domicile *cough*

yeah if corn starch kills ants, it must follow that lots of corn starch kills lots of ants

right yes borax.

so we have the choice of:
a mass ricin style delayed poisoning with cornstarch (ants only)
drying them from the inside out via dehydration with borax (ants and cockroaches)
scattering diatomaceous earth (crushed fossilized hard shell algae essentially) which will slice their bodies to shreds (slugs and small insects, bed bugs, fruit flies, earwigs, tomato hornworms, snails, ticks and cockroaches)

so many ways to kill

don't forget spraying them with hairspray - works well with ants espeically if they're climbing up a wall you don't really care about, then you can leave them shellacked to the wall to serve as a warning to the other ants

i am ant hitler, sorry

both of my kids have had come in with tick burrowed into their skin in the past week and the dropping fruit from our persimmon tree attracts insane amounts of fruit flies every summer. i feel a diatomaceous earth purchase coming on.

I'm still wondering if roaches would feast on cornstarch.

it's probably like a perfect bulking food for roaches and will turn them into horse-sized monsters

Compared to places like Minnesota, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon that have one state-run liquor store per town that close at 7pm and aren't open Sundays it was positively luxurious.

You can buy booze in grocery stores in WA now!

True, but in the year since the law kicked in I have yet to buy liquor in WA. I live right over the Idaho border and booze is easily 25% less in the state liquor store over there. Cigarettes are like half the price there too because it's Idaho and who are you to tell them they can't smoke?

It'll be funny next year when all the Washingtonians still buy smokes and booze in Idaho but all the Idahoans will be heading over this way to buy weed.

hey wait now, mn does not have state owned liquor stores, and they close at 10 on weekdays depending on city ordinance. they are closed sundays which is stuuuupid

State owned or not, it just seems that buying liquor or higher than 3.2 beer in MN is a pain in the ass.

I didn't mind while I worked at Liquor Depot off Washington. "New Year's Eve? Let's close at 10, and buy the way, feel free to buy your drinking resources at cost."

*Sniff*

the sound of drumsticks clicking to count off a song

relatedly, bass players who do brief little noodly things right after a song finishes, like a little string slide or a quick thump.

I believe I have the same hatred for guitar solos.
