Killing the first one probably won't any more than killing a single mouse doesn't stop an infestation, but once the mice realize that you got a couple of cats they will find the exit.

That's why you need to put traps by the exit too, the mice know too much and might potentially regroup to return with better tactics. You've got to get them all in one swift purge.

That just goes with a territory of having an iPhone. When you bought that device you signed on to a culture of consumption that is enforced by the developer of that device.

The developer can't force Apple to let the developer give it to you for free. Apple doesn't tolerate free very well and anything that is free on Apple is likely either a privacy nightmare or is paid for by some subscription you have with Apple.

This isn't a problem with the app It's a problem with the Apple.

When we moved to the middle of nowhere and couldn't even get channels over the air, my sister and I wore through every tape in the house.

The worst was being 9 years old desperately trying to find the second half of Lonesome Dove because you only got most of the episodes on some random VHS.

We must have worn the sound off of The Princess Bride, splash, Aladdin and the little mermaid. For a 9 year old boy living in the hinterlands after growing up in a city, Ariel singing "I want to be where the people are" hit me right in the feels.

Using cloudflare is more reliable than using your own stuff which is still an option that nobody chooses anymore because it's better to choose cloudflare or something similar.

I'm going to go ahead and assume you don't work with internet security in any way, have no experience in web development, and have never attempted to provide web application services to more people than you can count on your fingers, but if you had, cloudflare is mana from heaven.

The jokes on you, I've always been in pain!

In fact I only recently discovered that not everybody feels this way all the time and that has been oddly encouraging.

I'm telling you there's a magic weapon here, I call it, "a bag of trail mix in my pocket". If that can't do it, and an apple doesn't help, then I really have to eat something more substantial.

Next thing you're going to tell me that I shouldn't have bought a tractor if I didn't understand the first thing about hydraulics. I'm getting there, 20 YouTube videos at a time... It's just on pause while I learn carpentry to build a structure to put the solar panels on. Obviously before I can even properly design that I need to learn how to wire the solar panels properly, but those are just winter projects. For now, I need to focus on maintaining the grape vines on the land I already cleared.

No, I'm not a farmer, why do you ask? I work in IT... No I don't own a home...

Crossing RimWorld with Star Trek is just RimWorld with mods.

OTOH crossing GATE with RimWorld sounds like awesome, different and somehow incompatible mods.
