Episode 237 is their most recent one about her. There's at least one more, but I'm not sure how far back it is.

Probably Peter Thiel. That shitbag throws money behind all sorts of online fascist spaces.

Send him to that big garbage island in the Pacific.

I would hope they recognize the Big Bang theory, given that the idea was first put forward by a Jesuit.

But seriously, a lot of people don't really get how big the switch from Latin was. My dad attended church pre- and post-Vatican II and said that so many people complained loudly that we'd no longer have mass in a dead language. I guess the Liturgy of the Eucharist used to be done with the priest facing away from the congregation and a lot of people also complained when it was done facing the congregation. God forbid the plebes feel like participants in their own religion.

They act like Yellowstone and other areas are just an extension of Disney World: the animals are tame and nothing bad will happen to you, otherwise why would they just let people in to wander around?

Normally, I would recommend citronella, either the grass or the candles, but I believe it is toxic to dogs.

I believe lavender, catnip and basil are safe, but they're all mints and may try to take over your garden or yard. They all grow very well in pots though.

You can also try setting a trap. Put out some soapy water. The females are the ones biting you and they need water to lay eggs. They'll fall in the water and the soap prevents them from escaping. I haven't actually tried this with mosquitos, just other pests, but I have friends who swear by it.
