“Drain flies” per se are usually Phorid Flies. You can tell difference between this & fruit fly by two things: FF’s sit still & have red eyes. Phorid fly (same size) moves around like they’re on crack. If you have true phorid flies (drain flies, they are usually breeding down in the garbage disposal or drain. You can pour all the bleach and hot water down there you want and it still won’t solve the issue. Reason is: there is usually a layer of gunk (organic matter) that has built up in the drain or disposal. You either have to scrub it out with a wire brush or an easier option is to buy some type of enzyme gel cleaner like InVade Bio Drain Gel, which removes the gunk they are laying their eggs in. amzn.to/4wNTVtq

Honest Review: Blue Collar vs Software
In Jan 2023 I spent $40k to buy a used garbage truck and start a trash company
Today that trash company has around 2,000 customers, 5 trucks, and *should* do $1m ARR
On the flipside
I bootstrapped software company to multiple 6 figures and used the profits to buy a second
The truth...

I try to be super disciplined on not being out in the field everyday if I don’t have to.
If I have 5 days of work then I’m happy to be out 5 days.
But I never want to spread 3 days worth of work across 5 days in the week.
Having the days off allow me to go sell more and get other things done that I need to.
I wasn’t planning on grinding tomorrow but a contractor had an “emergency stump.”
At $600 for a small stump job we magically found the time to squeeze it in🤝

@peterrhague Among other things, @Neuralink will enable quadriplegics to use their hands and walk again and the completely blind to see.

I think people are still not clocking what this company is going to do, because Elons other companies are much bigger and flashier.
Mass rollout of brain machine interfaces is going to have huge medical implications, as well as perhaps lifestyle ones.

The dura is the brain's armor: a membrane so tough that a surgeon normally cuts through it with a scalpel. For the first time in our clinical trials, we inserted the electrode threads of our implant straight through the dura and into the cortex, keeping the dura intact. Here's how we did it 🧵

“Why don’t you just eat fucking ramen everyday? Just eat peanut butter and ramen for 50 years dumbass and invest all your money into the pico top of the gayest most fragile empire in history you dumbass idiot. Just starve and eat shit and dirt everyday for your entire life and then you can spend $30 on lunch when you’re old and about to die it’s simple. Don’t you know your 20’s are for grinding?? You’re supposed to eat shit for the majority of your life that’s why your ancestors built America. So you could eat shit and fucking die moron.”

@TucksPadsForMen Pressure treated can look different. Some versions are very green. This is one of those.

Get rid of the tomatoes.
Make sure the butter didn’t just come out of the refrigerator. Melty is better. And add maple syrup.

Found a company that has a share price that has gotten hammered in the past five years. Trading in dumpster fire land. 0.3x book value. Assets worth 2-3x liquidation value. Management not entrenched. Cycle bottom and activist target. Has gotten bids in past 2x the share price. Sitting duck here.
