[00:42] IsambardPrince More cats. [00:43] MinceR :> [00:47] IsambardPrince Someone dumped the leftovers of an old air purifier and a seafood boil in front of the dumpster. [00:48] IsambardPrince They're probably too stupid to cook a seafood boil so they got one at Red Lobster for $60 and paid Doordash $40 to deliver it then couldn't pay the landlord. [00:48] IsambardPrince Then they were kind enough to throw it on the ground to attract vermin. [00:51] IsambardPrince Water 40 degrees-ish. [00:51] IsambardPrince MinceR, I have a bottle of Irish whiskey that has been sitting on the shelf for over a year. Used it in one recipe.

[01:49] IsambardPrince MinceR, I used some Great Stuff on the hole that the drain pipe from my kitchen sink goes through. [01:49] IsambardPrince It falls into the hole and then starts expanding and it dries hard. [01:50] IsambardPrince That way it seals up the hole and no more roaches can use the plumbing as a tunnel. [01:51] MinceR is it removable? [01:52] IsambardPrince Who cares? [01:52] IsambardPrince That's a problem for whoever tries isn't it?

Human volunteers given dermal doses of 130 g/cm2 on the earlobe experienced local tingling and burning sensations. One man died after eating a meal cooked in a 10% cypermethrin/oil mix that was mistakenly used for cooking oil.[3] Shortly after the meal, the victim experienced nausea, prolonged vomiting, stomach pains, and diarrhea which progressed to [02:22] IsambardPrince convulsions, unconsciousness and coma.
