[03:38] IsambardPrince I put baby locks where I applied it as gel around the cabinet or hinges. [03:38] IsambardPrince She can't open those. [03:38] IsambardPrince I'd be much more concerned about the cat licking up the bait itself. [03:38] MinceR :> [03:39] IsambardPrince That's why most of my baits are in stations. [03:39] MinceR battle stations! [03:39] IsambardPrince The roaches go in the stations to get the bait. [03:39] IsambardPrince They walk back into the walls and die. [03:39] IsambardPrince Other roaches eat them, or their shit, which also has poison, then they die. [03:40] IsambardPrince The Raid stations have Abamectin which is actually used for deworming mammals. [03:40] IsambardPrince But it also kills cockroaches. [03:44] IsambardPrince Most of these insecticide baits I'm using have many other uses, the active ingredients that is.

[06:18] IsambardPrince The Royale [06:19] IsambardPrince There are some territories that could theoretically become states, but nobody is in any hurry to do that. [06:21] IsambardPrince Star Trek is pretty murky on what happens to the United States after the 2050s in any timeline. [06:21] IsambardPrince There was World War III, the original script said the nuclear war was between the US and China, but they changed it to make sure they didn't offend Chinese audiences. [06:22] IsambardPrince They replaced that line with something called the "Eastern Coalition". [06:22] IsambardPrince Presumably after First Contact, the United States was part of the United Earth. [06:22] IsambardPrince But they never did mention how it reassembled itself. [06:27] IsambardPrince So that's what always got me about the timeline, it was such a mess that the US economy is failing, but we've added two states, sent a few manned Mars missions, and all of that a few years ahead of a nuclear war because international relations with China totally broke down. [06:27] IsambardPrince Seems they could have done a better job with the 21st century. [06:28] IsambardPrince Then again, it's more realistic in some ways than we'd probably care to admit.
