How old are you? The idea that you're not going to vote unless you agree with a candidate on 100% of issues seems pretty unrealistic.
I have never in my life voted for a candidate that I completely agree with. And the ones I liked most tended not to do very well, because my opinions are not representative of the population at large.
If you're waiting until you can find a candidate who has zero positions you don't like, you'll be waiting until you're dead. Good job participating in democracy!
With light bulbs, there is a trade off between longevity and efficiency.
Efficient shorter lasting bulbs are the superior product, they save the consumer money (at the expense of the inconvenience of having to replace them a little more often)
Fair enough, seeing an occasional one is fine. I moved into a house with an infestation a while back, there were hundreds of them living in the porch rafters. There were dozens of them swarming the porch at any given time during the day.
Traps did nothing for me. I used liquid nails and filled in their holes at night while they were sleeping. 10% would chew their way back out, so I repeated until they were gone.
I don't mind bees in general, but I have a distaste for carpenter bees after that experience.
