Might sound stupid, but perhaps then they shouldn’t be offering services like Disney Plus and instead simply offer a car that lets you download any streaming app you have your own subscription for.
Products that change the service they offer after you purchase it should also be eligible for a full refund (plus a % on top for the hassle). Such as offering a service through the product for free at the time of purchase but then moving it being a monthly subscription paywall later on, or just removing the feature completely.
Depends on the location. Mosquito control is done all over, but I’m only somewhat familiar with north america.
It’s pretty widespread in the United States where it’s done by government employees at the municipal and county level I believe. They do use a fair bit of aerial spraying in certain areas though as I understand since there is a high concern of certain diseases being spread in certain areas.
In Canada it’s mostly done by private companies (ironic I know) with a few areas being done by the government, and it’s mostly done just because of nuisance and negative economic effects from outdoor workers and tourism so aerial spraying of chemicals is pretty much not done at all except for one major city which is phasing it out.
If you live anywhere in north America that’s nearby a river, coast, swampland, or significant snowmelt into he spring, you may have a local mosquito control program.
I never even knew the control programs existed until I came across the job postings and got hired, but they are fairly wide spread.
We don’t use aerial spraying, which can cause harm to other insects.
We only use a bacteria that’s put in standing water which only harms mosquitos in their larval form (or biting black flies) and is totally safe for pretty much everything else since it needs very specific biological conditions for it to become toxic, which is only found in the stomachs of mosquitos and black flies.
If you average it out over the year it’s probably a few million per day.

I view phoning someone like popping over to their house and knocking on the door to chat with no prior warning. No one likes that.
I don’t even understand why I need to make a password for some sites anymore. They send a code to my phone everytime.to make.sure it’s me so it seems like there’s practically no point.
Every update with these new UI changes seems to increase empty wasted space each time
Eh, it’s just a service in exchange for money. Just like a massage parlour or spa or doctor or chiropractor or hair stylist. Sex isn’t special.
Unless it were like $0.20 a month which is equivalent to buying a $25 every ten years, there’s no point.
But they will probably try and charge something stupid like $5 a month or $10 a month for their supreme collectors edition package.
I already put my phone down on my desk and turn the audio down whenever an ad pops up, they can’t tell it isn’t being viewed.
I would settle for something that simply turns the screen black and turns audio off whenever ads play. I don’t care if YouTube gets paid for it, I just want to decrease the value of ads and prevent myself from seeing them.
There’s not much competition, they can’t make more money to increase shareholder value by improving the product because they pretty much have all the marketshare they need.
The only way to make more money is by monetizing your data and selling you more and more ads. Which they will do more and more year after year since they need to increase profits year after year for shareholders.
To make it confusing, Alberta follows daylight savings while Saskatchewan does not.
So if you li e anywhere else in Saskatchewan you don’t change your clocks
If you live in Saskatchewan-side Lloydminster you do as it follows Alberta’s clocks.
From what I understand.
Why can’t you complain about a company being shit when there are other options?
I don’t use a lot of products, I still complain about them being shit because they deserve the bad press.
Not the original you replied to. And I had a typo when trying to spell typo 😂 just adding to the conversation. Wasn’t disputing you, just meant the may have meant refresh rate instead of resolution. Easy mistake. It’s still quite disputed how well eyes can tell the difference in refresh rates.
I imagine it was a typo*, but this article in Nature reports that in specifics circumstances the median maximum that people can perceive a difference may be around 500hz, with the maximum in their test possibly being as high as 800hz.
Normally though it seems closer to 50-90hz, but I’m on the road and haven’t delved too deeply into it
Edit: Type to Typo
Can’t remember the movie but it had someone get kidnapped by a group of cannibals or something and they kept them alive while chopping body parts of and cauterizing the wound, eating them slowly over time to keep them fresh. Don’t think I was able to finish it.
I imagine they are probably noisy?
