Maybe ECA stack? Ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin as a combo. Great for weight loss (also great for a heart attack).

Here, Rousseau asks exactly the same question that puzzled so many indigenous Americans. How is it that Europeans are able to turn wealth into power; turn a mere unequal distribution of material goods – which exists, at least to some degree, in any society – into the ability to tell others what to do, to employ them as servants, workmen or grenadiers, or simply to feel that it was no concern of theirs if they were left dying in a feverish bundle on the street?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windshield_phenomenon

The windshield phenomenon (or windscreen phenomenon) is the observation that fewer dead insects accumulate on the windshields and front bumpers of people's cars since the early 2000s. It has been attributed to a global decline in insect populations caused by human activity, e.g. use of pesticides.[1]

I don't even drive and I can see it (locally) whenever I go outside in Summer. Still enough wasps in the garden to piss me off. Why can't I have bees and bumblebees?

This pretty much coincides with the proliferation of Roundup-ready crops, but I'm sure there were lots of causes. You can buy organic if you want to feel better, be poorer, and still not fix the problem.

I don't doubt that, but can you elaborate? A few years ago I did a grad-level course in organic agriculture, and that did not come up. The main credible criticism I'm aware of is that "organic" is a broad term, so you don't get all that much information about how the crops were grown just from the label, and the regulatory bodies (OMRI et al.) are underwhelming.

The limitations placed on organic farming are kinda dumb and arbitrary and have always struck me as stuck with the original mid-20th-century vibe-based decisionmaking rather than anything based in a scientific evaluation of sustainable farming. As a result they draw the line at the use of "synthetic" chemicals, so it's totally fine to use either toxic poo poo derived from plants (like rotenone or pyrethrin or even in the past nicotine, though I think they've clamped down on that one because lol) or general broad inorganic poisons like copper salts.

I mean I'm sure a lot of farms don't, wikipedia seems to indicate most farms don't, but you can absolutely spray your whole field with copper sulphate and then turn around and sell it as "organic" with a straight face and not be breaking any rules.

Copper sulphate is my go-to organic fungicide (though not on food crops), so yeah that checks out.

The loving yard is protected. Got some Precious Olde Plants growing on it so I can't plant poo poo. I mean yeah I can't really oppose conservation but also none of the plants are flowers so it looks like poo poo and also no bees of any variety. (I rent, by the by.) One time I got some big pots and planted flowers in them and someone poo poo in them.

e: maybe there are flowers, but no, you know, pretty flowers, and not ones that attract bees. Or butterflies.

Everyone should plant honeysuckle because the honey that comes from bees with access to that is the best honey in my very honest opinion. Bonus: honeysuckle likes to grow up fences and lattice so you don't even need to take up yard space really.
