Imagine you’ve spent hours cooking a huge meal. Friends and family have come to your house. As everyone sits down to eat, a roach runs up the wall! Guests are horrified and think your home is unclean. A quick call to Advanced Termite and Pest Control in Summerville SC will ensure this doesn’t happen to you. Our highly trained technicians provide effective pest control services. There are many things effective pest management strategies every homeowner can do. Here are some Summerville pest prevention tips.
Common Household Pests
Protecting your home is an ongoing challenge but it’s not difficult. Before we get to that, though, let’s take a closer look at some pests you’ll see in Summerville. Unfortunately, our warm, humid climate is a favorite of many pests, including ants, termites, cockroaches, mosquitoes, rodents, fleas and ticks. These are not the only pests you could encounter, mind you, but they are some of the most common.
Pest Management Strategies for Homeowners
Keeping your home clean and dry is your best bet for DIY pest control. Most pests come into the house looking for shelter, food, and moisture. If you eliminate their food and moisture and block their way in, pests have no choice but to stay out of your home. Here are some specific things anyone can do to deter pests:
● Vacuum and wipe down surfaces often. Clean spills quickly and remove trash regularly.
● Store leftovers, cereal, and pet food in sealed containers. Throw out expired or spoiled items.
● Seal gaps, cracks, and holes around windows, doors, walls, foundations, and anywhere pipes and wires enter your home.
● Fix leaks, use dehumidifiers, and ventilate bathrooms and kitchens.
● Regularly inspect your home for signs of insects and other pests. If you see droppings, gnaw marks, and damaged wood or fabric, you should call us!
● Natural, eco-friendly options exist! Diatomaceous earth can control ants, cockroaches, and other crawling insects. Peppermint, lavender, and tea tree essential oils repel some pests. Advanced Termite and Pest Control in Summerville SC offers a variety of natural pest management strategies.
Professional Pest Control Services
Do-it-yourself methods are great but might not be enough to prevent all pests. Call Advanced Termite and Pest Control in Summerville today for professional pest management strategies. Get rid of ants, termites, mosquitoes, bed bugs, and more!

Have a carpenter ant issue I want to rectify. Called Meercat, and they quoted like $1,500 which seems pretty high for carpenter ants.
Family pest was more reasonable. $550 or so for the initial treatment and two follow up treatments this year. Family pest seems like a good family owned business. I want to fix the problem and don’t mind spending money, but don’t want it be ripped off, as I feel might be the case with Meerkat. Any experience with Family Pest Control?

Hello OG's and baby Apes alike,
As we wait for the MOASS, remember the mission: hold the line. There’s no predefined sell price. THIS PRICE IS FOR ANTS AND PAPER HAND BISHES.
The potential for GME to rise is immense when we hold our shares and refuse to give our shares back. The true value is determined by our collective action.
Per Dave L. $GME in the first hour has traded over 80M shares of its free float of 190M. We could trade the entire float today.

1. Do not forget the Infinity Pool

The Infinity Pool refers to shares held indefinitely, reducing the available float and driving the price higher as short sellers struggle to cover. We, the SuperStonk community, own 25% of ALL GME stock. If we hold the majority and refuse to sell, we dictate the price.
ALSO- Call options aren't listed above $55, indicating manipulation.2024 Calls: All are currently ITM, which is bullish. CNBC claims Melvin Capital closed its short position—they didn’t. SHFs are doubling down on shorts and haven’t closed their positions. GME passed critical margin levels, but SHFs are still somewhat in control.

Importance of DRS

Direct Registration Shares (DRS) is crucial. By registering your shares, you ensure they can’t be borrowed for short selling, tightening the float and increasing pressure on short sellers. COMPUTERSHARE or DIE
Spread the Message
Hold your shares: The more we hold, the higher the potential price. Understand the dynamics and the importance of the Infinity Pool and DRS. Support each other: We are stronger together. Keep sharing information and supporting each other.
We are individual investors who like the stock. We are not manipulating it; we simply believe in its potential. I like the stock.
We've seen their tricks before. Stay grounded, and don’t let emotions control you. Remember Volkswagen in 2008; huge dips can occur before launch. HODL and stay vigilant.
Together, we can make history. Stay strong and remember the mission.

Hi! I rent a home with some roommates in TX aka fire ant capital ☹️ I woke up this morning and found a fire ant scout in my bed. We just had our landlord spray outside like two days ago. Could this be the colony somewhere trying to relocate before the die? I messaged him to spray inside now and bought the borax ant traps but I hate ants so much! Unfortunately one of my roommates is a very dirty person and eats in his room and leaves trash on the floor as well as dirty plates. I can only assume they’re looking for his stuff? In the meantime I removed any standing water upstairs from dog bowls and I checked my fish tanks they’re fine, but is there anything else I can do? I squished the ant when I saw it but I guess you’re not supposed to?

Hello, welcome to the Brazilian Classics Rate! This rate covers five albums released between the years 1968 and 1974, exploring the likes of Tropicália, MPB, Samba, and more. We are excited to enjoy this music with both long time fans, and also welcome newcomers to experience these all-time favorites for the first time.
Note: I am not Brazilian and am not a Portuguese writer / speaker. My apologies if anything is lost in translation through this process.
Hold on: What’s a rate?
About once a month, this subreddit holds games called “rates” where a host selects a collection of songs and people score each song on a scale of 1-10 (with a single 11 & a 0 available as well). Ballots of these scores are submitted, and then over “reveal” weekend, the host takes the averages of the songs and eliminates them from worst to best, giving one song out of all the albums the top spot, the crown, & bragging rights forever.
Our sister subreddit popheads has a Guide to Rates Video that can give you a broad overview of rates (please note our reveal process is thread-based instead of video chatrooms). And here's recent examples of a rate announcement and a rate reveal.

Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes (1968)
Os Mutantes was made up of Rita Lee, and the brothers Arnaldo Baptista and Sérgio Dias. In 1968 Os Mutantes released their debut album, were featured on the Tropicália Ou Panis Et Circenses compilation, and performed as the backing band for Gilberto Gil's self-titled second album. The Tropicália movement embraced taking international ideas and re-interpreting them, combining them to create something Brazilian. Os Mutantes will likely be a favorite for those who love psychedelic rock.

Gal Costa was close friends with both Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso as well as their spouses, and Gal Costa's bossa nova debut Domingo was a close collaboration with Veloso. By the release of Gal Costa we hear more of the impact of Tropicália and psychedelia on her sound.

Clube Da Esquina - Clube Da Esquina (1972)
The Clube Da Esquina name (Corner Club) refers to a corner of the street where Lô Borges used to live, and Borges and Milton Nascimento played for fun in the 1960s.
“I hope our young people don’t allow themselves to be swept up in this dictatorship business, because they don’t understand what it was like,” said [Milton Nascimento] who was stalked by agents from the notorious department of political and social order as his career took off in the 1960s. “Whenever we were going to release a song we had to send it to them for them to censor.” Eventually, Nascimento’s manager rented an isolated beach house where the musicians were free to compose the record of their lives. “It was wonderful … just us and the waves rolling up to our front door,” said Borges. “We weren’t thinking about selling millions of records or being the next big summer hit. We just wanted to make art.” Nascimento smiled as he recalled how that legendary album was conceived half a century ago, far from the prying eyes of the dictatorship. “It was a record made just by friends … We’d spend all day composing, from the moment we awoke with the fishermen bringing in their nets to the moment we went to bed.”
The cover of the album features a picture of two boys playing in rural Rio de Janeiro by the photographer Carlos da Silva Assunção Filho (also known as Cafi).

Novos Baianos - Acabou Chorare (1972)
By popular demand, Novos Baianos has been added to the rate mix! As suggested by their name, Novos Baianos were founded in the state of Bahia in 1969. During the making of Acabou Chorare, they were mentored by the "Father of Bossa Nova", João Gilberto. The album's title (translated as No More Crying) also came from a story about Gilberto's daughter.
Note: the album has two versions of Preta Pretinha, track 2 which is the full version and track 10 which seems to have been a radio edit. We are only rating the full version of the song.

"I’m not in any movement, no. I think movements adopted me."
Jorge Ben Jor is the first recorded artist of the five here, but A Tábua De Esmeralda is chronologically our latest recorded album of the rate. This one is arguably a concept album; influenced by the Hermetic text "The Emerald Tablet" as well as Jorge's interest in alchemy, and features songs focused on Afro-Brazilian identity such as "Zumbi".

Rules - PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR SCORES
Listen to each song and assign each a score between 1 and 10. Decimals are fine, but please refrain from giving decimal scores with more than 1 spot. This is because I'm using a computer program to parse the votes and print everything out (more on that later).
You have to listen to and score every song in the main rate. Otherwise, I will not accept your ballot as it will crash the program (more on that later).
Your scores should NOT be considered confidential as they aren’t. Feel free to shitpost about them in the general discussion threads whenever you feel like it - users over at popheads usually just talk about their averages of the albums and what 11 and 0 they gave (which I will explain on the next bullet point!)
You may give ONE song a 0 and ONE song an 11 in the main rate. Please reserve these for your least favorite and most favorite tracks; excessive sabotage ruins rate results and generally makes things less fun.
You can change your scores at any time! Feel free to PM me at any point after submission before the deadline and I'll be happy to revise them for you.
I am using a computer program that fellow rater letsallpoo designed in order to parse these votes! While this will make things a lot more efficient and reduces errors on my part, this does mean that scores need to be sent in a very specific way. The easiest way to make sure your scores follow the necessary format is to use the pre-prepared link at the top & bottom of this post. PLEASE USE THAT. You can copy and paste it to a notepad file or something and fill in your scores there, but PLEASE use that format to send in your scores.
DO NOT SABOTAGE the rate by giving outrageously low/high scores for the sole purpose of skewing the results, we reserve the right to exclude any ballot we suspect of this. If you're worried your scores could be mistakenly perceived as such, all you need to do is leave comments explaining the reasoning behind them.
Did a lot of copy and pasting here (including the following list of users), so thank you to all the raters of old: vapourlomo; roseisonlineagain; DolphLundgrensArms; R_E_S_I_G_N_E_D; stansymash; ClocktowerMaria; aerocom; themilkeyedmender; greencaptain; Crankeedoo; dirdbub; ThatParanoidPenguin; tedcruzcontrol; kappyko; FuckUpSomeCommasYeah; LazyDayLullaby; SRTViper; Whatsanillinois; NFLFreak98; freav; freeofblasphemy; kvothetyron, RatesNorman; aPenumbra; idontreallycare4; p-u-n-k_girl; luigijon3; WaneLietoc; dream_fighter2018; darjeelingdarkroast; smuckles; PiperIBarelyKnowHer; welcome2thejam; imrlynotonreddit; kvothetyrion; thedoctordances1940; b_o_g_o (of the BogoLomo Rate Collective); MCK_OH; TiltControls; u/chug-a-lug-donna; u/TakeOnMeByA-ha; u/indie_fan_; u/bilbodabag, zenits, saison_Marguerite, and tons of people on popheads.

(what do you even flair this. I have flared it as a guide but it is not really a guide. But anyway) Edit: since y'all want to whine a bit, let me spell it out. I am not saying whether or not you should use them. I only use my raise ones or a hello one now a days. People have been asking about them. Whether it is to see macros that have been around since 2.0 or want to see all the weird ones. Some ask because it is getting hard to type and what to have a quick hello one. Or, people like me where it is starting to get hard to use a controller or a keyboard/mouse to make it where they have less buttons to press. You guys need to stop and think for a moment. As I said originally, I don't use most of these anymore. But, you guys are acting like it is a sin to even have these. This was also in responsed to the fact that I have been seen post of people finding these in the wild, taking a screenshot and people asking in the comments for them.
Edit 2: Also, over time I am going to be adding macros I use the /echo command on. Like my rotation ones and maybe the crafting ones I find to put them in on place for people. This is going to be a lot of macros but with the xpac coming, I am not posting those as most will break soon. The only reason the raise ones are on there is they will not break because raise it not getting a upgrade. It is just take dead person, stand them up and send them back into the fight.
Edit 3: For all of you saying this is a common dislike: on here. IT IS A COMMON DISLIKE ON HERE! This is such a non issue in game. I have been asked for my healing macros before or ask 'hey can I steal that?'. Yes, I really do get that some of you really don't like them, but there is a lot of stuff I don't like either that gets posted on here or done in game. You guys are making a mountain out of an ant hill. Most people use the more troll macros in premade groups, like at least 90%. The trolls using them outside of that, have way better ones than me. To those saying this is against TOS, it is not. Nope. No matter how long it is you can not report except in very specific circumstances. Those are mainly explicit NSFW or real money gambling. Now, in regards to kicking people, if it is a random party from queuing for Duty Finder, you can not kick for macros and if you do vote kick and they report you and the other members in the party, you can get in trouble for it. If the party is premade and you have laid down ground rules for not using them and they use them, that is different. I know all of this from years of playing and having friend ask GMs and I have asked too. Macros in party chat are not against TOS no matter how much you say it is. I don't get, no matter what you want to say, why it is so wrong of me to put dozens of macros in one place. And it is not just going to be the ones I have, it is going to be a lot of battle macros for raids and other runs. Old quick chat ones so console players have a easier time communicating. I used to play on console. It sucks to type and play at the same time. I have crafting macros and rotation macros that, once I fix them in DT, can help others like me who have hand issues. Most of the time, you will never know one is use but you all are acting like you know every time one is used. So, I guess from now on since anything dealing with macros that can be helpful get a bunch of down votes and hate all around. I will posted everything to my Twitter and Tumblr from now on. This is a crazy amount of hate for something that most people in game don't have a issue with. Also, all my macros can be changed to /echo so only you will see them. but I guess you didn't want to see that and I am done because no matter what, someone will find something to hate on. Yes, none of this is a me issue. For the ones having such a dislike and issus with this, that is a you thing. I am not saying this to be dismissive. I am saying it as a fact and statement. I will make a post on my profile for the tumblr and twitter if I don't already have them linked. I will post guides there from now on.

I am putting macros on there that I have had for years. Do I use most of these? No. But, I know some people would like to use them to troll friends. I also know that the long ones are really good for when someone is being toxic chat. And when I say toxic, I mean in the 'they are calling people names and saying stuff that is way out of line' toxic.
Some I got in the early days of playing 2.0. Some are new. The raise macros do work, you might need to adjust the first wait time to account for your lag. I have a lot more and will post them when I have the time. The block text however did not work on some, so I left the text out.
Also, this is just for people who want them. I know a lot of people have been wanting some of these macros. I also know there are some who hate macros so much they will hate on others who use them. That is not here or there, however, as this is just for people to have fun with. I will add more later when I have more brain power to correct them and I have had coffee. And, if you have any that I may not have that you would like me to add to the list, send it to me and I will add it.

Engineers at Washington State University have developed two miniature bug-like robots that could be used in the future for work in areas such as artificial pollination, search and rescue, insect control, environmental monitoring, micro-fabrication and robotic-assisted surgery. (Also great for creepy-crawler pranks?)
The two mini-bugs weigh in at just 8 milligrams and 55 milligrams, and can move at about six millimeters a second—way slower than ants, who can run at a metesec.

Yes, we see in episode “Q2” of Voyager Q telling his son q “You don’t provoke the Borg”. This simple line has cause immense amount of discussion online, debates and whole fans arguing how the Q “fear” the Borg and why. Youtube Videos on the matter and even Wikipedia mentions it in the Borg wikipage.

For me (and I know I¿m not alone) is pretty clear that Q was not afraid of the Borg per se, is not that the Q are in risk from the Borg in any way, it was a warning with the best analogy to be “do not through stones to the hornets’ nest”. Hornets won’t destroy humanity but they would cause a lot of damage to a lot of surrounding animals.

Or is like having a garden full of insects that you study and go kicking the Brazilian fire ants’ hill. They won’t kill you nor other humans but will ruin your garden and everything in it unless you intervene which would certainly be an annoyance.

Returning to the Q, it has been argued that in a similar way how the Borg invaded fluidic space they would see no problem in invading other dimensions thus trying to find the Q Continuum to invade it. But precisely the fluidic space is a good example, Species 8472 was kicking their cyberasses until Voyager intervene. If they can’t handle a physical species with better tech how can they attack a near-omnipotent species?

Another argument is that the Q don’t want the Borg to know about their existence or they would try to capture one Q and/or go around assimilating species trying to gather intel on the Q as they did with the Omega Molecule, but they already know about the Q, they already assimilated Picard for a while and many other Starfleet officers.

Truth is, the Borg can’t do anything to the Q even if the Q are limited and not truly omnipotent. Quinn explains in “Death Wish” that they are not really omnipotent it just looks like that for lesser life forms. I personally think the Q do use technology but they are an Minus Omega-Type civilization in the Barlow scale. For those who don’t know the Barlow scale also known as the Reverse Kardashev is a scale that proposes the opposite of Kardashev, as more advance is a civilization the smaller order of magnitude they control. For example we already control molecules (chemistry) and atoms (nuclear) other civilization will go to smaller and smaller levels until pretty much having god-like powers much like the Q.

In synthesis, no I don’t think the Borg are a threat to the Q in any way possible nor the Q fear them, Q’s word were more based on warning from making the Borg took over the galaxy or go on an assimilation rampage that will destroy thousands and they would have to clean up or live with it. And even if the Borg do manage somehow to assimilate a Q they probably would become enlighten beings who would drop assimilation altogether like Badgy in Lower Decks.

My family has always been of great minds. I hated it. Growing up and having to study day and night to try and live up to them was extremely exhausting when I couldn't care how things worked as long as I was happy. I gave up but somehow everything kept turning out to be true.
Over my lifetime I have become the Gorden Ramsey of the science world. Known for my temper and also for huge things like curing world hunger using play-doe and cancer with baby powder I got in a back street ally while drunk.
To get my family off my back I started making random ideas so they could see me as a failure and leave me alone but...they keep working. And soon people started to praise me. Fame has left me with nothing but more and more attention. So today I plan to make sure that everyone can just think I'm insane and leave me alone and not some king.
I chuckled like a kid who was opening a Christmas present as I heard the crowd of people chatting and talking loudly as I hid behind my stage in a grey tight suit that my sister had picked out. I sighed and was ready to walk out and make a fool out of myself but my brother stopped me.
" Jack... I just want you to know how proud I am of you. Dad would have loved to see you right now. "
I thought it was ironic because last night while chilling on the couch watching TV and eating chips I made this theory up. He dusted off my shoulders held them tight and looked me in the eyes taking in the moment.
" go give them hell man. "
He had a goofy smile just like Dad but spoke with confidence.
" you got it, man. "
I heard my name being called onto the stage and the uproar startled me for a second but I collected myself and headed out after giving him a nod just to entertain him.
The lights were blinding as I grabbed the mic and looked at the table in front of me with a small box with the ingredients I needed and a chalkboard behind me.
After I stood still for a minute the crowd died down. I had not told anyone what I was presenting so the whole world was watching without a clue of what I was doing this time.
"Hello everyone. Today I believe I have my most important presentation yet..."
The crowd grew silent and hung on every word. And I heard my voice around the room through the speakers.
" Today I have with me a box...and inside is spaghetti I had for breakfast. "
The crowd laughed thinking it was a joke
" shut up "
The crowd grew silent once more
"Behind me is a chalkboard and I will now present my new findings to all of you...I have found out how to make portals to other worlds. "
A man in the far back of the audience yelled bullshit in a heavy Indian accent but he was so far it was a faint sound for me. I smiled at that thinking I had finally found something that would make me lose my title and I could go ahead and live a life without people making me feel like an evil man for not helping others.
I opened the box got a handful of the noodles and threw them at the chalkboard. I then grabbed a paper towel on standby to clean myself.
The noodles hit the board and slowly moved and rested on a spot on the board. I made eye contact with my brother backstage and he had a look on his face showing he believed in me.
I spun the board dropping the noodles to the ground I then grabbed the chalk and drew around the sauce and noodles that stuck to the board then drew my attention to the others that had fallen on the floor and drew an outline of that.
After it finished I threw the chalk in the crowd violently hitting an old lady in the face.
" Quickly I want a show of hands who thinks I'm a crazy guy "
Everyone raised their hands and I laughed to myself
I then went behind the board and laid it horizontally. I grabbed a small knife in my pocket and poked my finger with it. The crimson blood fell and hit the chalk and then as more and more blood hit the chalk it started glowing.
" you have got to be joking. "
I said out loud as it started to spark an orange glow and it slowly grew color to the rest of the chalk in orange sparks.
Once the symbol was fully sparking with orange the sauce began to swell and move around in a counterclockwise manner. I stepped away from it in shock as small parts of the blood in my finger began to float to the parts where it fell on the floor I drew my outlines on and started sparking those as well.
It started to smoke and hiss as if lightning could whisper and the orange began to take shape and the sauce made a doorway. The parts that were not on the board began to grow ice around them and started to make designs on the floor circling me and the board. Suddenly it grew in size and a large booming voice was heard through the portal as I felt panic of people start to set in.
A huge claw came out and scrapped the sides of my table trying to crawl out from the world it had been trapped in. Cold winds hit me as they cut my skin and threw around my clothes. As I saw the table was now melting from its touch.
A slimy green claw with mucus like a face-hugger egg from the movie Alien carved through the floor and pulled the rest of its body out slowly. A beast stood at 12 feet tall adjusting to our world as goop grew and shaped its body as people screamed, ran, and stood frozen in fear.
As it looked around it locked its spider-like eyes and swerled around coming out from the portal and twisting and turning around the body as it made its way to its head finding a place to rest. It then locked its eyes with me and its jaw twisted slowly from an ant-like maw to mine and slowly shrunk and it soon took the shape of me and knelt on the floor and spoke to me.
" master. "
I stood in shock as everyone seemed to calm down and watched to see what I would do.
"...umm "My family has always been of great minds. I hated it. Growing up and having to study day and night to try and live up to them was extremely exhausting when I couldn't care how things worked as long as I was happy. I gave up but somehow everything kept turning out to be true.

Fame has left me with nothing but more and more attention. So today I plan to make sure that everyone can just think I'm insane and leave me alone and not some king.
I chuckled like a kid who was opening a Christmas present as I heard the crowd of people chatting and talking loudly as I hid behind my stage in a grey tight suit that my sister had picked out. I sighed and was ready to walk out and make a fool out of myself but my brother stopped me.
" Jack... I just want you to know how proud I am of you. Dad would have loved to see you right now. "
I thought it was ironic because last night while chilling on the couch watching TV and eating chips I made this theory up. He dusted off my shoulders held them tight and looked me in the eyes taking in the moment.
" go give them hell man. "
He had a goofy smile just like Dad but spoke with confidence.
" you got it, man. "
I heard my name being called onto the stage and the uproar startled me for a second but I collected myself and headed out after giving him a nod just to entertain him.
The lights were blinding as I grabbed the mic and looked at the table in front of me with a small box with the ingredients I needed and a chalkboard behind me.
After I stood still for a minute the crowd died down. I had not told anyone what I was presenting so the whole world was watching without a clue of what I was doing this time.
"Hello everyone. Today I believe I have my most important presentation yet..."
The crowd grew silent and hung on every word. And I heard my voice around the room through the speakers.
" Today I have with me a box...and inside is spaghetti I had breakfast. "
The crowd laughed thinking it was a joke
" shut up "
The crowd grew silent once more
"Behind me is a chalkboard and I will now present my new findings to all of you...I have found out how to make portals to other worlds. "
A man in the far back of the audience yelled bullshit in a heavy Indian accent but he was so far it was a faint sound for me. I smiled at that thinking I had finally found something that would make me lose my title and I could go ahead and live a life without people making me feel like an evil man for not helping others.
I opened the box got a handful of the noodles and threw them at the chalkboard. I then grabbed a paper towel on standby to clean myself.
The noodles hit the board and slowly moved and rested on a spot on the board. I made eye contact with my brother backstage and he had a look on his face showing he believed in me.
I spun the board dropping the noodles to the ground I then grabbed the chalk and drew around the sauce and noodles that stuck to the board then drew my attention to the others that had fallen on the floor and drew an outline of that.
After it finished I threw the chalk in the crowd violently hitting an old lady in the face.
" Quickly I want a show of hands who thinks I'm a crazy guy "
Everyone raised their hands and I laughed to myself
I then went behind the board and laid it horizontally. I grabbed a small knife in my pocket and poked my finger with it. The crimson blood fell and hit the chalk and then as more and more blood hit the chalk it started glowing.
" you have got to be joking. "
I said out loud as it started to spark an orange glow and it slowly grew color to the rest of the chalk in orange sparks.
Once the symbol was fully sparking with orange the sauce began to swell and move around in a counterclockwise manner. I stepped away from it in shock as small parts of the blood in my finger began to float to the parts where it fell on the floor I drew my outlines on and started sparking those as well.
It started to smoke and hiss as if lightning could whisper and the orange began to take shape and the sauce made a doorway. The parts that were not on the board began to grow ice around them and started to make designs on the floor circling me and the board. Suddenly it grew in size and a large booming voice was heard through the portal as I felt panic of people start to set in.
A huge claw came out and scrapped the sides of my table trying to crawl out from the world it had been trapped in. Cold winds hit me as they cut my skin and threw around my clothes. As I saw the table was now melting from its touch.
A slimy green claw with mucus like a face-hugger egg from the movie Alien carved through the floor and pulled the rest of its body out slowly. A beast stood at 12 feet tall adjusting to our world as goop grew and shaped its body as people screamed, ran, and stood frozen in fear.
As it looked around it locked its spider-like eyes and swerled around coming out from the portal and twisting and turning around the body as it made its way to its head finding a place to rest. It then locked its eyes with me and its jaw twisted slowly from an ant-like maw to mine and slowly shrunk and it soon took the shape of me and knelt on the floor and spoke to me.
" master. "
I stood in shock as everyone seemed to calm down and watched to see what I would do.

"...umm "

Part two of the noodle demon.
Now that this creature knelt before me I realized that the room I was in was so terrible quietly you could hear everyone's ass get tight in anticipation of what would happen next.
" ...what...are you. "
I spoke carefully to the being that had taken the shape of myself. It still took my breath away and my throat was dry.
The beast was a deep green. The color mixed with shades of grey streaming from it. The longer I looked at it I could see it getting closer to what I looked like shaping itself.
From small flowing green tendrils to an arm they grew as they twisted and made bone then muscle and finally skin.
It locked eyes with me and it smiled deeply at me. As it formed the face finally.
" Your vassle. "
My eyes had not moved to the crowd at all but even though the lights hit the stage so hard it was enveloped in smoke.
The creature's eyes glowed as it answered brightly, not figuratively. This thing's eyes were glowing.
"To serve you, We are bound by blood magic. I am a reflection of your desires, Master, " it said, its voice now a whisper in my mind.
It began to stand up as my grey suit began to form on it and by the time it stood fully up it had copied what I looked like.
" let me explain everything. "
My body frozen in fear woke up with adrenaline as I blinked and a flash of green smoke covered my vision as he teleported right to me face to face.
Its body turned to smoke and went into the slits of my eyes. I felt visions follow me in my peripheral vision but surprisingly no pain followed power filled me and it felt like one hell of a drug.
My body and mind altered.
I was now in a very dark place with no walls or light except my reflection on the floor which waved like water.
I took a step back looking around and back to the reflection of me on the ground.
Soon the water rippled and my reflection fell through the floor like gravity was inverted. he flew upright and water fell off of him as he looked at me as he now stood straight ahead of me. He was just reflecting in the water but now eyed me down.
Collecting my nerves.
I begin to speak.
" what do you want..."
He was still in my form and stood perfectly straight. Now with water dripping from his...my hair.
Slight stubble with hair that hung down and my hazel eyes were not present within him but I was greeted with a swelling acidic green that doubled the size of my pupil.
" to serve you. "
He made no other movement than putting his hands behind his back like a soldier at ease.
I could not tell if it was lying or not.
" ...is that it? "
" I am the embodiment of your fear desires and brilliance. You have shaped me. Your desire for solitude birthed me. I will aid you in shaping the world how you see fit. Your reality becomes mine. "
There was a slight echo in the room as he spoke.
" wait...where are we "
I questioned haphazardly
" your mind. "
An awkward silence was in the air until I spoke
" so...am I just standing on the stage not making a sound? "
He gave me a concerned look.
" no...time has frozen outside for you. You may sleep here without having to in the real world so to others you look as if you never rest and you may think and plan what to do in battle here. For them, it will be about two seconds...Do...do you not have any knowledge of what I am? "
Suddenly I felt bad like I had encountered someone famous and I had no idea who they were. A slap in the face like a popular kid meeting someone who had never heard of them. Ego shattered.
" ok sorry no. I...don't go around reading about...monsters?"
I felt like was I saying the n-word of the demon realm not knowing if that word was offensive.
He folded his arms a little upset.
"Are you not a warrior? "
" well...no I...just watch TV and cook here and there- "
The demon cut me off
" weak. "
" excuse me? "
" look. I am an immortal being and after a while you get bored. So I'm sorry if I may be a little upset after being bonded with some nobody. "
I got quiet and I was a little annoyed that I was being roasted by some demon that I just met.
Its form wavers and eyes begin to open on its skin. Cheeks forhead etc.
"After being a god for so long it's fun to play with limitations. Makes things extremely exciting. "
" what do you mean by that? "
" look. You can only be so entertained by the same things. Life gets boring and now...you are going to help me with this. I get to have pure entertainment while you get every wish you could ever want. A mutual bond no? "
He then closed his eyes annoyed and the other eyes meshed back to his skin.
" though... the TV is not that interesting...life is what gets the blood pumping"
I felt the need to quickly change the topic
"Are there others like you? "
The room began to take shape very slowly as the water floor turned to wood and walls went around us.
" of course. You may meet them one day "
Confused and curious I pressed.
"Meet them? "
" yes. Summoning one of us is considered a threat to them. "
He spoke while opening and closing his newly found hand except backward.
" hm...no that don't look right "
I quickly responded
" Wait! How is doing that a threat! "
"Well, one doesn't just accidentally Summon one of us to suddenly get powers beyond human control. "
I thought back to how I summoned him by accident with some food I made.
" well...funny story but I summoned you using my breakfast..."
I had never regretted speaking so much as in that moment.
" What... "
Acid dripped from his words. Literally. His pupils split in half and his bottom jaw ripped open like an ant and curved giving sharpness to the bone.
"Please don't kill me. "
The room began to look like a cozy cabin with a fireplace and he slowly went back to normal.
" I would if I could. I've never felt so disrespected. We are bonded by your blood. If you die...I die. "
Suddenly I felt at ease by this new information.
Then a thought came to my mind
" ...God's can die? "
" you did hear me, right? "
The SAS from this guy was unneeded and I was starting to miss him being on his knees as weird as that sounds.
" so...all that power gone.... in an instant... "
" well...no actually God's powers don't just disappear they transfer to whoever killed them...wait...hold up."
He suddenly had an epiphany.
A smile grew on his face and he grabbed my shoulders
" you! You are going to help me kill the other gods! "
He sounded proud but I let him down.
" ha! No. "
" oh come on! Don't be like that. "
He did a pout.
"Look, man. I'm not killing gods for you. Just because you are bored. "
" hey...they might send people to kill you because you bonded with me. "
"What did I ever do to them? "
"They have a system to this stuff. They like to build and watch things play out. You're a problem. That can mess it up. So...they kill ya...to be honest, I don't know any other way to explain it, man. You know people normally just use my power to kill people and become a king and know this already. "
"This is outrageous. "
" bro. Look if you do this I will be able to get their powers and you will be able to do so much more than what I offer "
I tilted my head
" what can you do? Know what never mind. I will just talk to them and figure things out. "
He groaned and his form melted down sagging and it shot back up reforming
"Is there not anything that you want? Anything in the world? Gods don't put themselves in physical forms. They give people power and can make beings to hunt you. And if they care enough to come down themself. Ha, good luck."
I stopped and thought about it trying to weigh the options of pissing off higher beings.
Suddenly. I found something.
"Can you bring back the dead..."
He stopped confused.
" well...no "
" then I don't want anything "
" wait! "
He threw his arms out pleading
"I don't...but another God does..."
He crosses his arms smiling. He had left the question hanging letting me reconsider his offer.
I stopped and thought for a while before looking back up to him.
I let out a sigh and looked him in the eyes
" ok...you are going to help me get my father back. "
The demon smirked.

I desperately need some advice. I have a stone bed and when I started planting in it I noticed a fire ant mound in the corner of the bed. I just planted around it and they didn’t bother my plants.
Now everything is in the ground for the season and I had cosmos getting ready to bud. Over the past week, these ants have taken over my cosmos and I find them climbing up the stems and have chewed off parts of the flower too!
I’m so sad because they’ve almost completely destroyed my flowers:(
I have tried to use a mixture of borax, peanut butter, and honey to kill them. That didn’t work so I uprooted the flowers and moved them to another part of the bed, but I’m sure the ants will just follow them there.
Any advice to get rid of them?

Hello all, im a new resident of central Jersey. My one complaint is that I’m being overrun by ants and nothing is working. My last resort is calling pest control. Any recommendations on products or services?

As you might be able to see, they’re eating the Terro ant bait stuff in that picture, so we’ve already put that out. They just showed up this morning and have been coming into our kitchen pretty consistently since then. If they are carpenter ants, should we call pest control?

I've been having a lot of trouble with programming a replacement Compustar fob to my 2016 Mazda3. I had a few technicians install the Compustar remote start system that works with my OEM Mazda fob without any need for an additional Compustar remote. Looking at the invoice, they installed a BLADE-AL module and Compustar CS915-S kit (ANT-AP antenna and CM900-S control module).
Due to a lack of range on the OEM remote, I got a replacement Compustar 1WR3R-AM fob. I tried to follow the instructions shown at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BomrR47eVpg using my OEM fob but to no avail. I was hoping to please get some help on this issue. Thanks!

As I get older I start to mind having less elemental releases less and less. Building your versatility, utility, power and speed in one thing can make up for diversifying in many things with less proficiency. I’m not saying you should just learn one thing, I just don’t mind shinobi not being capable in everything to some capacity. I do mind when they don’t know enough in their niche though which is why I would divert from canon in most characters except for special cases because a shinobi has to prepare for the worst case scenario and come up with the easiest solution before acquiring the best solution.
I will never fully go into ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu and bukijutsu training on the sub, I just want to understand the shinobi mindset and their choices.
In my opinion, nobody should be rushing to be fulfilling the jonin requirement of having at least two nature transformations. You can be jonin level without it especially when canonically few shinobi use multiple elements in combat even when most named characters know multiple. They are just wasting time (most of the time) and should rely on their teammates more or find a work around in a tool or technology.
Nature transformation is improving and adding some qualities to basic chakra. You have to exercise your understanding of these qualities.
This is where things get confusing because some qualities are more magical than realistic to the element.
In finding your affinity to nature transformation the chakra paper burns for fire, becomes wet for water, crinkles up for lightning… gets split in half for wind and crumbles into dust for earth. To me there are levels to hax and we just got two basic ones in nature transformation. It’s magic so it doesn’t have to make complete sense but luckily we get some limits with the full canonical applications of nature transformations in the power system.
The best inherent qualities in the basic nature transformations are: Doton 1. Durability 2. Weight
Suiton 1. Wetness 2. Fluidity
Futon 1. Shearing 3. Expansion 4. Void
Katon 1. Heat 2. Ignition
Raiton 1. piercing 2. Shearing 3. Paralysis 4. Speed
The applications of nature transformations are: 1. Mimicking the actual element 2. Adding inherent qualities. Removing a quality is only special in one case (low tier hax) 3. Manipulating the element 4. Creating the element 5. Changing things into that element (low tier hax) 6. Undoing chakra based elemental change (low tier hax)
Basic chakra is also busted in its applications and shares qualities with some of these elements like how they also share qualities with other elements but the qualities are better represented in those specific elements. In my fanon telekinesis is achievable with neutral chakra it just requires the highest level of chakra control, it’s just easier with the selective telekinesis that comes with nature transformation and chakra strings that can affect solids. Most changes in physical states ( and phase changing) requires the nature transformation though, you can still affect any element with neutral chakra but can only completly control a few with neutral chakra. Control not create, but neutral telekinesis would ideally stop after manipulating fine/grainy substances of solids. I don’t know if suiton is a requirement for medical ninjutsu to manipulate liquids. Sakura knowing the difference between Kankuro’s blood and the poison baffles me.
I also believe some elements cost more chakra than others, and some require more chakra control. This makes some elements easier to master than others outside of having an affinity which can also affect your mastery of opposite elements. Now shinobi can just use more chakra as their chakra control gets better so I am avoiding making some characters better off than others because of my head canon. The fact some shinobi can practice longer than others even when they have the same quantity of chakra reserves and talent for chakra control balances it further.
The initial fact of my head canon is why I was okay with elemental Kekkei genkai making shinobi more powerful for so long but after balancing it for my fanon I realised those shinobi can be just as powerful and dangerous with their individual elements they just find more utility in their kekkei genkai for various reasons. Elemental kekkei genkai are also more unpredictable. So what happens when a shinobi increases their lethality with power and skill in one element before diversifying out of necessity (not for the sake of promotion).
Practicing nature transformation exercises can go further when you try to improve all the qualities and applications of an element besides just upping the ante with the commonly known nature transformation exercises. You would discover more exercises for every new jutsu you want to learn so you can have an easier time learning how do to the jutsu without hand signs.
Because of Mushoku tensei I would fanonically make doing jutsu with hand signs always be more effective power wise so that shinobi always have a goal for their skill level with sealless jutsu. Doing ninjutsu or genjutsu without hand signs just improves your combat speed and allows you incorporate it into your taijutsu and bukijutsu seamlessly. Both have their benefits in my fanon and would the reason why Naruto still uses a clone for the rasengan😂. It did confuse me that Kishimoto made Naruto learn rasenshuriken before mastering the rasengan, so I’m just going to use it as a sign that Naruto wants to put you down.
Now because you can make ninjutsu a chakra control/nature transformation exercise, in my fanon you can make chakra control/nature transformation exercises into ninjutsu so everyone would automatically gain two jutsus in mastering your element. This is again to give you a goal to work towards and is probably how the average shinobi trains for nature transformation in my head canon to get familiar with an element when they make a slither of progress. This is based on Naruto using hand signs for chakra control exercises sometimes and Shikamaru’s confidence in every shinobi on the battlefield being able to create a simple earth wall with some expert guidance and the proper hand signs even though Kakashi states you can only use an element in combat after mastering all the prerequisite exercises to gaining an element. In my fanon Kakashi doesn’t tell Naruto this because he wants to see the effectiveness of shadow clone training and to test Naruto’s deductive skills in seeing underneath the underneath.
But some examples of new nature transformation exercises are bending (old school exercises in my fanon) or for futon making multiple cuts in something like how a deadlier rasenshuriken should reduce anything to mush/dust. He would still use the other common exercises to make a single cut stronger, using blunt wind (I don’t think Naruto used a fine blade to “cut off” the flow of the waterfall. Naruto just used wind normally) and applying chakra flow to weapons. I don’t think you need a new exercise for every new jutsu past the prerequisites to learn how to do the jutsu, it just improves your chakra control faster and make you capable of doing the jutsu sooner if you can’t practice for hours (the usual case).
Now learning other elements can improve your capabilities with the ones you know. Jiraiya has that swamp jutsu and Orochimaru can sink into and travel in trees… bruh. Anyway learning natures can make the distinctions clearer or blur the lines for a specific jutsu. They can also help you push certain boundaries like a wind user stopping their futon jutsu from igniting when it goes too fast, but that’s fanon.
I would make an AU for elemental kekkei genkai to be learnable, they just would have the affinities so nothing like having the chakra paper split in half and become wet for ice release 🤣 (I’m sorry I couldn’t help it). That paper should be frozen in this case. I just won’t narratively take away the effort away of truly mastering one or being on that path.
I did get inspired by fanfics. Third fang and his egregious use of shadow clones had some solid ideas and my favourite crossover fanfic The Legacy of the Most Unpredictable Ninja. Loved that Naruto was pretty canonical in the crossover but would only change his slight buff. He learns airwalk to some capacity but has a nerf of it slicing his feet whenever he does it, which is pretty odd since he can just use futon in a blunt fashion to not hurt himself. Could even be puffs of smoke like some renditions of airwalking in Onepiece.
This is my last post (here) I promise, just want to fully understand canon and share my thoughts and would like some of yours if I missed anything out.

The Timberwolves got demolished Friday night. Zero energy, zero urgency, just complete humiliation at the hands of the Nuggets in what could have been the practical knockout punch of the series.
Game 4 had to be a massive response; going back to Denver after blowing a 2-0 lead would be catastrophic.
Instead, most of the team once again just came out flat, looking rattled. No reliable offense and couldn’t even knock down open shots, completely out of control on defense. Only a single bright spot out there, after a game with zero bright spots on Friday night.
Ant came ready for battle last night and not a single other guy came ready to go with him. The second they finally got it close in the 4th, two of the most important players on this team immediately sold it with fouls, turnovers, and poor shot selection, quickly putting it out of reach.
This is a roster of guys who outside of Ant either have a proven track record of not performing well in the playoffs, or guys who haven’t been there enough.
It suddenly feels like there’s very little this team can rely on other than Ant. It’s a massive concern if you have guys like NAW or Jaden or even KAT not even able to hit open looks or reliably defend.

We're all a little messy, we're all a little clean. Sometimes we get nit picky and sometimes we live with people who are nit picky.
I lived with one of those people.
I'm a messy person, I will not deny. I get distracted, I get lazy, I get overwhelmed, I get comfy in my mess. But I dont get cockroaches and I don't get ants. I'm mostly just disorganised.
Now call me an asshole, but sometimes I like a messy room, I mean no floor, levitating abilities required, messy. And my ex roommate seethed, and I mean SEEEETHED it. So I thought, okay, I will shut the door. Then you don't have to look at it, as my room was smack bang in the middle of the hallway. Fair enough. But moves were made.
She would see it every now and again, when she would ENTER MY ROOM. It really bothered her yak. I mean, how dare I burden her with such mess as she enters my room unannounced and without permission. And you know those stories of those very strange, possibly cocaine partaking, criminals that would break into your home to clean your house. Only to disappear without leaving you a complimentary gingerbread and a lovely note. Well, that was my roommate with my room.
She messaged me at work once, she was concerned that my door was >>>locked<<<< and she could not get in . She had made the decision that she would inspect every room of the house before the house inspection. (I always cleaned up for house inspections) I didn't really agree to it, more so I didn't say anything at all. I'm not one to make conflict with control freaks. Once I reluctantly gave her acces to the room, she messaged me the next day explaining her disappointment of the (very normal) amount of dust on the windows and ceiling fan. She was also disappointed that the bed was not made to hotel standard and the cupboard (which was closed when I left it) was not organized to her standard. It's as if someone might live in that room and have to work 5-7 days a week. I wasn't driving either, so I'd wake up at least 2 hours before starting work, which began at a crisp 6am.
The texts were not a "one and done" thing. At least once every couple of months I would start my break with a condescending or just absolutely emotional, multi paragraphed text about cleanliness, respect and how it affected and triggered her issues. While also clarifying that she's not putting her problems on me or blaming me at all.
All this didn't just occur with my bedroom, though there were multiple privacy invasions. I worked a reasonably hard yakka job. Somedays I would come home wet from either rain or (mostly) sweat. There was dirt, woodchips, pieces of mother nature just hanging off my pants. So even if I took my socks and shoes off outside, I would still track in mess. In fact, I would usually track less mess through the house by keeping my boots on because the debris would fall off on the walk home.
But this wouldn't fly for a second. Oh the gates of Mordor would fly open with an army of undead if I did not immediately clean up any trail or footprints left behind coming inside.
And I'm not talking after a couple of hours, or even half an hour. I mean, I walk through the door, past the kitchen and thus summon the banshee from her nest. The tone that was relieved from her mouth would piss off a priest and cause a monk to groan. Like do you expect me to walk backwards and mop myself to my room. Being the pacifist I am, I let it go. But she went on to rant again about mess, respect and how I NEED to take my boots off outside.. What I found most ridiculous, to the point of dumb laughter, was half the time the floor was already a mess.
Every house inspection was a step away from being a restaurant health inspection, if it wasn't her dish in the sink, then it couldn't be there for even five minutes. All belongings must be put away at all times, but lets keep her clothes she took off after returning home on the benches, chairs, tables and couch.
Don't even get me started on the washing machine. In retrospect, I probably should have just used the washers and dryers down the street. But I was spending all my pay on rent, utilities and overpriced groceries. And I was tired.
Just to be clear, I'm not against cleanliness. I like a pest free, approachable, nice smelling home. I like walking barefoot on smooth, untainted ground. But some of y'all need to chill out because you're way up into some of our business. I would like to clarify, I almost always cleaned up after myself. Sometimes I'd forget my laundry. The expectations for this house I lived in were like working for the queens butler. There was no room for mess at any time of day that she didn't decide.
I hope if this describes any of you, you know you're crazy and driving us all crazy. Let loose, relax, trust it'll all be cleaned up at the end of the day.
And for goodness sake, stay out of peoples bedrooms. PERIOD
Peace ✌️
