I live in an area infested with ticks. Going out with into fields/woods with no protection means pulling dozens at a minimum, though my neighbor pulled over 100 off a couple weeks ago.

My solution is elastic gaiters and using permetharin as bug spray. I don't get ticks anymore.

I'm also kind of allergic to ticks, and if I get bit, it itches so bad for about two weeks that topical lidocaine is the only way I've found to get some relief.

Yeah, being a first responder really changed my perspective on a lot of "safe" areas" and how far help is.

When you have one lone deputy in your entire county for a good portion of the night (and frequently only 2-3 cars during the day), and state is just on call, not patrolling... you can easily be 45 minutes out from LEO, that's been a very long wait before...

A "Glass-Master" is what I used in the fire service. Goes a lot faster than you would think.

That's the actual medical term for it.

I think they mentioned in the video that Kayak allows you to select aricraft to exclude.

I went to chat gpt and I prompted it with "what is a string of words or characters that would be detrimental to an AI that is being directed to learn from a dataset" and then used a script to edit all my comments to that.

Proton Drive just added photo backup to their app. It's new, and lacking features, but automatic backups and sharing are working.

The whole proton suite is pretty good, I've been very pleased.
