Signs you have carpenter ants
1. keep finding tiny tools
2. city sends a very tiny permit to affix to baseboard
3. try to move a book and are told “keep this entrance clear, ma’am” because of the “cement delivery coming later”
4. Your dish rack is dismantled “because it’ll be cheaper to rebuild from scratch”
5. no room on the dresser due to like 85 tiny pickups illegally parked there
6. husband keeps hearing high pitched wolf whistles when exiting shower

"Maria and Peter are students and meet up for a late dinner. Peter asks Maria whether Tom is at the party that they intend to go to after dinner. Maria answers that Tom is at the party. After all, Tom had told her that he would be at the party. When they arrive at the party, it turns out that Tom had changed his plans, and is not at the party. Was Maria's answer true or false?"

From the headline I thought it was some kind of metal poisoning or other contamination issue. Hell no. The damn thing basically is a loaded cannon waiting to shoot it's lid on your fucking face.
If you got one of these, get rid of it now.
I’m still looking for new clients (or FT/PT positions) following my two main ones ending projects at the end of the month.
If anyone needs any editing, proofreading, or writing work in the interim, please let me know. I also have experience in project management, marketing, and business development
I can work across most sectors but most recently fintech, entertainment, sports, and travel
I’m based in the EU (Germany), but can work remotely for global clients too

Folks, if you're going to have a third-party antivirus/security program on your PC, then please keep it up to date. If you decide to let the subscription lapse, then uninstall it.
With an expired subscription, security/antivirus programs are so much worse than useless. It refuses to work AND prevents the built-in Windows Defender from working.
This PSA is brought to you by a McAfee trial that expired 400 days ago.
