Probably, I just doubt they're news-worthy enough to be reported on.

This is in Canada, insurance would not have been a roadblock.

I honestly don't remember lol. It's been a while since I've watched it and it wasn't very memorable. You could probably watch a recap on youtube and call it a day.

It's far from great but I actually didn't mind last season, it had decent fight scenes. It was a lot better than the turtle season.

makes sense, i was a little worried when i saw a pencil in the booth but this makes me feel better.

I had to shut it off after 10 minutes because of this, I could feel my blood pressure going up.

Still not sure if I want to continue this one. It has some funny moments at least. The opening song is pretty painful though, super off-key.

Yeah the console is one thing but the Switch 1 game price was my absolute cap. I can't justify shelling out that much money per game. I will definitely be making a steam deck my next console instead.

I have never once in my life thought about owning a gun. I hated the idea of ever having one in my home. Now I'm kind of wondering if I should get one in the event the US does invade...

I have a fungus gnat problem with my houseplants, I've kept them relatively under control using Mosquito Dunks in my watering can since August and some yellow sticky traps but I can't seem to eradicate them. I was considering buying nematode pot poppers but I've never used them before so I was wondering if anyone had any tips for application. All my plants are still relatively small so I don't have many large pots for any of them (most are between 4-10").

Any and all recommendations welcome, having pests is really taking all the joy out of having plants. I'm in Canada so a lot of pesticides aren't available to me.

UPDATE: I figured I'd update this post incase someone comes looking for solutions and sees this. I ended up going with a top layer of silica sand (2-4 mm in size) on all of my pots. I continued with the BTI water, let my plants completely dry out between waterings, and bottom-watered most of my plants. I haven't seen a fungus gnat in about 2 weeks so I think I have been successful in eradicating them. Will update again if this changes.

Update 2: I take back the update, they're still here... I'm so over the freaking gnats.

Update 3: Just updating this post in case someone stumbles across it looking for answers. What worked for me was switching most of my plants to semi-hydro and I now have a Pinguicula Morensis that eats any stragglers that come in with any new plants. The plants that are still in soil are watered so rarely that the gnats are not really an issue.
