Reply to LPT: If someone in your house likes to burn candles, always lay your car keys by them to remember to put them out before you leave. by [deleted]

I don't need my keys when I go to bed though, and that's mainly when we forget candles are lit. Good tip for the day though.

Edit: We got keyless locks on the inside due to having to find the keys to lock up before bed, or in an emergency didn't want to be locked in (I can't lock someone in my house for example, even if I wanted to), so I guess for others who needs the keys to lock the inside of the door this is a great idea. I wasn't thinking about others doors needing keys both sides.

Andrex Puppies on a roll

You can get it in the loo roll section of most supermarkets in the UK, unless they've very recently discontinued it.

More cooperation and understanding, less finger pointing, blame and hate. That's the solution.

Reply to When you next hear cheerful twittering of birds, you should stop and listen: new study suggests that listening to birdsong reduces anxiety and paranoia by non-number-name

I want to get the songbirds back in our area but there's too many magpies, crows and herons.

One year we had 3 sparrows for a month or so and then they vanished.

We also get a single robin most years but couldn't tell if it's the same one.

I've planted trees and bushes with berries, I've got a bird house feeding station that the pigeons and magpies get into.

If I do anything that may scare the bigger birds it would also scare the smaller birds, such as a fake owl or falcon cries played on a speaker.

Going to put up 3 small bird boxes on the side of the house that doesn't get direct sunlight all day and see if that helps in a few years.

We have cats in the area too so I'm not surprised the birds stay away.

I wonder if playing birdsong would attract them or just put them in danger?

Reply to comment by Majestic_Electric in Antibiotic found in potato disease thwarts fungal infections by Sariel007

As far as I'm aware:

Antibiotics are for treating bacteria: Penicillin

Antifungals are for treating fungus: Fluconazole

Antivirals are for treating viruses: Emtricitabine

Anthelmintics are for treating parasites: Ivermectin

Antibacterial is something any cleaning fluid has written on it; the product just needs to contain soap and water to be classed as antibacterial. Usually, the product would contain hazardous chemicals that would kill microscopic living organisms, but don't work in the same way as the medications mentioned above. This is because those are usually consumed internally, cleaning products are not generally ingested unless tik-tok has a challenge.
