I would guess that a lot of stuff like building codes and construction standards and practices could be wildly different in Italy.

That's just a matter of research tho. It would likely be way more complicated navigating your supply chain, which will be undoubtedly complicated by the mafia.

Also, this is an appeal to American builders, probably for the same reason

ah so they're going for a fish-out-of water thing, combined with laughing at those crazy foreigners style TV?

I'd say go for it, but with the understanding that all footage of you is going to be heavily edited and spliced beyond recognition, including splicing words together to make different sentences then what you actually said, because thats how this kind of TV is made. If you're OK with being misrepresented in front of millionsliterally hundreds of viewers, go for it. All-expenses paid vacation in sicily? hell yeah.

So, despite the dogs getting regular baths, being on flea and heartworm poo poo, and treating the yard regularly somehow all these assholes have fleas.

Any tips or help? I'm at my wits loving end dealing with these things.

Isn't there some drug you can give them where drinking their blood sterilizes the fleas

im gonna hit the gym, return some pants, assemble a little project ive been planning, and study diabetes dosing information.

I already had a wonderful bike ride this morning, the temperature in Vegas is absurdl reasonable for is time of year. Now I'm sitting down to a bowl and a homemade BLT, probably gonna shoot the basketball a bit later and I might go out drinking tonight.

Tomorrow I'm gonna go to Nelson's landing which is a cliff jumping spot on the Colorado river; it's only like 40 minutes away but it has everything from 10 foot diving spots to 85 foot bombs. I'm a little hesitant because something is still wrong with my knee from snowboarding. But I'm still gonna do it

We bathed with dawn, applied new flea poo poo, and burned all old bedding. Now the new bedding is about to be burned also because they came back.

Legitimately never had to deal with fleas. loving paranoid they're in all the couches and mattresses and poo poo now also.

Vacuum everything, treat weekly for a month. It's probably harder with dogs than indoor cats, but that's always worked for me.

I know its probably not the time for advice, but really talk to a child psychiatrist about how to tell your kids about it as soon as you can. I had some family poo poo hidden from me for years that was no where near as bad as this, and when I finally found out it damaged a lot of family relationships.

Like, not saying you tell your kids everything, but coming from me if it one day comes up ten years later its gonna destroy their trust in both of you.

I vaguely remember watching some Attenborough thing and apparently there's a millipede that takes this farther and glows in the dark to advertise that it's poison.

Found an article on them, the only important part is the glowing ones were bitten less but I like the quote:

quote:

When they returned the next morning, “it was just carnage,” said lead researcher Paul Marek. “We were really surprised at the predation rate on these millipedes. Overall, about one-third of them—both real and fake—had been attacked.”

Luminescent millipedes were attacked less than half as often as their dark counterparts.

See it's funny because for me that poo poo is super proof of evolution. Only a billion years of having random poo poo and seeing what sticks would have something so circuitous
