We found that putting 1 part sulfur and I think 2 or 3 parts baby powder in the foot of panty hose and applying it to our gators, bottom of pants, and bottom of our shirts to keep ticks away.
There’s also a tick that can make you deathly allergic to meat that started spreading from the Appalachian mountains a while ago.
I’m American and I’ve only ever heard it pronounced like “cash”, whether that’s someone speaking or in tv/movies.
It’s not a very popular word and most of the times I’ve heard it is on the topic of geocaching.
It is really cool. Shadow of Mordor needed to tame it down just a little, however. By the end of the game, that rival orc was immune to every weapon in my arsenal. It would only take damage from NPCs or environmental damage triggered by NPCs lol
The system itself is really cool, though! If you play either Shadow of Mordor or Shadow of War, just be aware that the story is complete fan fiction and some of it flies in the face of LOTR lore. Just don’t take any if the story seriously and enjoy the game play for what it is.
The rejection of fanaticism went out the door along with E Pluribus Unum in the 50’s when the Christian nationalists forced their religion on the national motto. Then over the next decade black people were lynched and attacked with fire hoses when they were asking for basic rights.
They also started conversion camps where they emotionally and sometimes physically and secually abuse minors in conversion camps to attempt to change sexual orientation.
I believe it was Nixon who helped foem fox News to pull the Republicans further right and we’ve been seeing the consequences of that.
Basically the fanaticism has always been there, but with the internet and social media, it’s easier for them to make their voice heard.
