Maybe it’s the fact that most people treat it like a local team rivalry or a “I hate my team but I won’t let the others win”.

It was the worse of time, it was the better of time.

lake cow bacon.

The “chicken rotisserie” look.

But you could sail the seven seas…

I’m against capital punishment but now and then some people do deserve being shot out of a cannon into the sun.

I wouldn’t worry unless it tells you to feed it a cat.

Let’s turn that frown upsidedown.

Or it begets a second renaissance where everyone get their noses away from screens (me included) and start fixing shit.

Laser-carrying mosquitoes or mosquito-killing lasers?

Maybe you’re onto something ;)

Exhibit A

(P<0.05; 0.00) seems incidental with the study size and honestly I can’t see how could they smell the blood type.

(I’m not saying they can’t, I’m saying I would like to know how.)

I’m saying it may be incidental because the paper doesn’t define if the population from where mosquitoes fed had a higher or lower O-type density, nor their distribution.

Mosquitoes find their prey using three senses:
First by CO2, as mammals will be releasing it in big quantities (though they also bite reptiles). Second, by body smell, which as others here have mentioned, diet and genetics may dictate how it is affected. Third by shape (that’s when they are already there) and are trying to figure out where to stick it.

The first one is hard to fix, so for the second I’ll recommend icaridin or, if not available DEET, and in gel form not spray. DEET can be a skin irritant, hence why is less preferred.

Spray though is sometimes used when applying it to clothing, as it also may have your smell attached to it.

For the third one, I haven’t seen conclusive data but a lot of observational studies: from wearing light-colored ample clothing that doesn’t define the limbs to (I guess) wearing stripes like a zebra.

And a lifetime in humid climates like the Bayou.

As someone said on this thread: as soon as they can convince legislators, even if they are murder machines, capital will go for it.

Borrowing from my favorite movie: “it’s just a glitch”.

Y’all use this to remind yourselves about donating to Orca conservation.

Or else.

It’s also because generative AI relies on statistics so an approximation of the number of fingers is used. In that sense 4 and 6 are close enough to 5.

A third reason is that not all fingers are always visible in pictures and drawings, depending on the angle and position. If you try right now to make a ‘c’ with your hand, you could only see three fingers. This is relevant as while artists know that hands have five fingers, generative models do not ‘know’ what a hand or a finger are.

I would recommend DevilutionX for the moment, as Tchernobog is still rough around the edges and slightly harder to install (the first have some clear instructions and it’s rather straightforward).

Still if you want to play it, there’s a forum in Tchernobog’s page and from what I’ve seen there some YouTube’s guides are available.

I installed both using Lutris…

While impressive, do yourself a favor and play with the quality mod “DevilutionX”, or alternatively “Tchernobog”, which is still getting updates.

Basically they iron out a lot of issues Diablo has due to its age and make it truly enjoyable.
