If you'd ever been really swarmed by mosquitoes or lived in a place where they are ever present you'd not be asking this question.

  • When they swarm enough they are nearly impossible to avoid.
  • When their presence is constant some people just stop reacting to the bites. I only ever notice mosquito bites on places that get chaffed (like the wrists and hands, around collars and cuffs). If they bite a place you wouldn't normally scratch and can avoid scratching the area after a bite, for some people a welt is much less likely to form.
  • They don't go after only people. Your irritation at a few bites is nothing compared to the diversity in the evolutionary arms race between mosquitoes and their prey.
  • Only the mothers feed on blood. Other mosquito eat mostly plant nectar.

They wouldn't be selling it if they didn't have a market. Just because it doesn't make sense to you, doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense.

Ah yes, the modern day equivalent of recording radio broadcasts to magnetic tape. Made a few mixtapes that way myself. They were absolute garbage quality and I never listen to them anymore, but it was an interesting exercise and my only option for some stuff at the time.

Now I just buy as directly from the artist as I can for things that are rare enough that they are difficult to pirate.

Find an online guide. Print to PDF or save as HTML/ODF/whatever you like. Annotate the document. Now notes and article are searchable. I guess a physical book might have an advantage if the power went out, but at that point you're going to have other problems implementing the things the book suggests.

Shitting on other people's lifestyles and the things they like because you don't like them and don't understand them seems kind of antithetical to the philosophy of this community as I understand it. No? Would it be appropriate for Americans to start mocking English football and their scarves?

Thanks, although I was able to infer some of the significance from the name, I was confused about how kids were actually dying because something like this has been around for a long time. At least 30 years ago kids this age were making themselves blackout by holding their hands tightly against their necks. Even then, before the age of always on internet, most of the other kids rightly called those kids out as idiots. Adding mechanical devices is just next level evil? Next Level Stupid? I don't know. I guess that's what the lawsuit is trying to determine. I can guarantee that it will be used to further erode our privacy rights online as more and more kinds sites are forced to verify their users with government issued identification.

Which season? You mean which Star Trek, right? Do you want: 60s Technicolor and skirts; Animated not because it's for kids, but because special effects are expensive and difficult; Androids and friendly Klingons; Frontier space station; One ship alone against an entire quadrant of the galaxy; Time travel and a theme song with words; Tripping through space with the help of mushrooms; Animated, this time for kids; Star Trek, now with more heart; Star Trek: beyond retirement; Star Trek: humor will set us free?

Setting the obviously racist inane bullshit aside, what the fuck does this question have to do with vocabulary? Those are all concepts expressed phrases, a concept entirely different that vocabulary.

Ask a lawyer for an informed opinion. They'll (hopefully) have the tools to determine what this easement means for you as a potential homeowner on the parcel. The Maine Geological Survey has an item in their FAQ of some relevance.

I don't know how common these kinds of easements are in Maine, but I would not purchase any real property that could be used and abused at the whim of a corporation with a team of well paid lawyers.
