Two birds with one stone: dump US goods AND save lives.

Have you tried boric acid? I originally used it for cockroaches but I've also had success with ants (regular ones, not teeny tiny little ones :) ).

Another satisfied customer of boric acid.

Viewed a flat on a Sunday, went ahead and rented it. Realized after moving in that all the sandwich shops serving the nearby uni Monday-Friday drew an ungodly amount of cockroaches. I hated getting up for a glass of water in the middle of the night because I knew the horror show I'd see upon entering the kitchen after dark.

Roach traps didn't make a dent, and we had two cats so didn't want to go in for heavy duty poisons.

Read about boric acid in a Metafilter post, spread some along the usual scurrying areas and... wow! Barely saw one ever again.

Sprinkle boric acid along their runs, worked for us.

Is this a Firefox reference?

I wish Mozilla would use some of their millions to bring a class action lawsuit against sites that pointlessly lock people out just because they're not using Chrome/Safari/Edge.

I was under the impression Flatpaks are sandboxed. (I am not an expert.)

Flatpak is a utility for software deployment and package management for Linux. It provides a sandbox environment in which users can run application software in (partial) isolation from the rest of the system.

I also keep Ungoogled Chromium around as a last resort (AppImage in my case).

And it's a tweet. I.e. she's in the Nazi bar.

Reminded me of something my dad had in the 80s:

Apparently the world's first talking clock.

That's a great one, too! Thanks.

He was willing to demonstrate the devices, but only if there were no scientists present, claiming that they might steal his ideas.

Chef's kiss!

And I wish more Wikipedia articles had headings like "Elf involvement". :D
