It's seems they are playing the long-long game!

All snarkiness aside, I learned a few things from the article. And I might even sign up to the sass since I already have a CF account.

The main issue we've found is she gets them stuck under her "armpits" and under the tail. Places that make them very difficult to find. Even more insidious is when they embed themselves in the harness, only to make an appearance weeks or months later when the outdoor foxtails have mostly been cut down.

The problem is that they can work their way under the skin with a barbed spike that is one-way only. So if they get deep enough the only remedy is to cut the skin with a scalpel - by the vet of course.

Is this maybe an American thing? Ie it’s just not used much there?

Just curious, do gmail accounts ever expire? Will I ever get the chance to snag the other one? Or does it forever belong to my nemesis and life-long enemy?

I can see the reasoning behind it. Simplicity. But I'm waiting for the horror stories like this one to die down before making a final judgement. It just doesn't _feel_ right to me after doing it differently for 20+ years.

So I don't know what the objections were about. You can easily ignore them, and just as easily enjoy them. But they are hardly going to "destroy the environment".

That said, they would of course destroy "some" environment. I'm not aware of the specific objections in this case. So I'll leave an open mind until I do.

So we made a rule. Leave the phones elsewhere. Ever since we’ve been sleeping through the night.

Then it's just a matter of speeding me through the interview until they can find the candidate with the "right team dynamic" or "culture fit" etc. The excuses I've heard are quite amusing, but transparent.

I’m just stating the obvious, but I find it odd that the author states the opposite isn’t true.
