If you get to it immediately that may be true but Dawn works at any point. It works better than the expensive removers because it can be used even after you have oozing which you don't want to do with the ones which smell like paint remover (Tecnu).

Couple of hints on poison ivy. Use Dawn dish soap to clean up. DON'T touch your face if you are working in the yard. Wear a scarf to keep hair out of your face so you are not tempted to wipe loose hair away from your eyes. Bags from bread, newspaper, etc. make for great arm and leg protectors.

Sadly this is not true. Most people in red districts do get their news from Fox, Newsmax and other extreme right wing sources. At a University on Long Island I had to make a request that our cafeteria's TV was not broadcasting FOX.

This. Unfortunately the USA has such poorly informed or such highly misinformed citizens that only about 30% will be aware of this.

For decades now I have had to read comments on social media of how we did not have to worry about population growth, climate change, mass extinctions, etc. because we would just go into space and colonize other planets. I have given up on the myth of intelligent life.

good example of what i’m talking about. total confidence, but wrong. war powers resolution (or act, because that is what basically everyone calls it) does not give preemptive authorization. it says IF authorization has been given THEN this is the timeline for reporting bsky.app/profile/neos...
