I'm also not going to read it, but $700 mil as of 2023, according to the table in the link.

That's fair. I'm entirely uninformed on the sparrows but I do understand nature is an endlessly complex system which we do not and probably can not ever truly understand. Not trying to be absolutist.

But I do wish death on every blood sucking mosquito.

What do you think we'd use? Just out of curiosity. Horse? Deer? We have the infrastructure and such for horses. I don't know why we haven't domesticated deer for meat production but I'd imagine they're next. Horses have much less utility in the modern world so I can definitely see them being the go-to.

Surely something else can be eaten. And there are many species of mosquito that do not eat human blood. I think we can nuke the species that does and still get by.

Perhaps I'm under informed here.

Fun thing is nature always copes. When we've lit the atmosphere on fire and been killed off by climate change, chances are long after we're gone life will persist and leave us irresponsible children behind.

It's beautiful, in a way.

I read somewhere a good starting point is if a task takes less than two minutes, just do it now. You start there and build. Never quite realized that's what I'd started doing on my own, but it has helped, especially after making it a conscious effort.

Now if someone could tell me how to deal with having a shift at work at the end of the day and the entire day before the shift being wasted because all I can focus on is that I have somewhere to be in 6 hours.

Missed the lesson on gravity while you were in rehab at 4.

This happens to me when I smoke a lot. No biggie.

Which is mostly crowd sourced correct? That was another example I'd considered.

I unfortunately can't speak to this directly as I don't have direct knowledge of ad blockers.

However, in these systems, it will always be a cat and mouse game. And there are more of us than them, so to speak. There always will be.

So they embed the ads. Then someone does some clever coding to watch for ads and auto skip. YouTube finds a way around that, the community circumvents their fix. It always has and always will work that way. The technology works for all of us.
