Super helpful - thank you for the solid advice! And yah, I am planning on not growing any next yeaqr (and I guess the year after that, now that you mention it).

Thanks for this. I’m going to try the board/trap method and see how that goes. They creep me way out but I should be able to do this, I think.

Oh thank you! I’ll take this as a win nonetheless.

Oof. Uh oh.

Verizon has confirmed to customers in stores and online that its network is having an issue on Saturday. Many people have been unable to connect and make or receive calls for hours, while DownDetector’s tracker peaked in the afternoon at around 3:30PM ET with more than 20,000 reports. Some customers report their service has continued to function throughout the day, so it’s unclear what the cause is exactly.

Downdetector’s outage map showed hotspots in many cities, and Verizon didn’t specifically list affected areas. On X, the @VerizonSupport account confirmed the issue in response to customers’ questions, but didn’t have additional details on restoration or how widespread it is

Haha, they have a careers page.
