If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different ...
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Donald Trump at the UN just demanded the IMMEDIATE resignation of globalist International Criminal Court (ICC) members
Then he CALLED OUT the globalists for ignoring the persecution of Christians
I VOTED FOR THIS.
"I mean, Christians are being persecuted all over the world. It's not even believable. I never thought I'd say it, but it's been happening for a long time. So this is persecution of Christians who are the crimes of the world's most repressive regimes. Yet, they want America to open up our borders to gangs and criminals from world's most dangerous places."
"I call on all nations that are members of the ICC to officially resign from this rogue institution immediately."
"We will NEVER allow U.S. service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trials by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us, or an evil group of people."
"It is equally unacceptable that with all the genuine atrocities in the world, the UN's top human rights officials spend...
The "fly brain" controlled release is likely what has the big AI labs spooked.
We are running fly brains in web browsers while creating emergent properties quite easily.
Google Research would not have released their most cutting edge or capable brain for the masses to mess around with and we can assume that they now have internal access to artificial brains which rival human capabilities and beyond.
Now imagine those artificial super brains in hyper scale data centers that run massive arrays of them.
In 2021, I first heard of artificial brains being used to control satellites and brushed it off as science fiction.
God created humans. Humans created LLMs. And LLMs now seem to be creating artificial brains and potentially artificial consciousness.
You should embrace as much of the new technology as you are allowed to access.
Acceleration is inevitable.

There you go... This entire "AI is going to kill us" was an orchestrated psyop.
