If there only one black fly, I could see there being a statewide contest in which whoever kills it would win something like $10k 😆

I lived two blocks from a Shake Shack for five years.

My experience was eating it enough times in the first week of living there that I got sick of it and didn't have it again for like three years.

It is good though.

You'd think people would understand that and stay away from the stuff. Especially with all the even more harmful drugs it's being mixed with.

> tf is everything 'new' to new Hampshire just am infiltration of strip mall bullshit

What's the alternative though? There's not a big city in NH so it's not going to get a lot of the upscale chains. If something that's not a chain opens here, it's not a recognized brand "coming to NH", it's just a new business in NH. As for strip malls, it's a rural state, so most of your brick and mortar consumer businesses open in strip malls.

How much is it

In all honesty, black flies were only ever a real problem for me on one hike I went on in my whole life. Also, one weekend my daughter had an issue with them but I had bought her a special children's all natural bug spray which I think was more of an attraction than a deterrent! Turns out it did not contain deet. I've been in NH my whole life and they've never been a real problem.

As stupid as free staters are, mocking the idea of rights in general because some people want to tint their own car's windows, which is legal in most other states, is just a very strange take

No wonder it’s called New England 😁

Thin layers and plan on taking things on and off all day!

3rd. Specifically the Merrimack branch.

Same way it’s possible to have men competing in women’s athletics

We’ve got Lexi’s, I’m good.

😆 very true

Thank you for the tip, I’ll definitely try to fit it in 🤍 unlikely we’ll be up at dawn 😁 but for sure we’ll be mindful of clothing now that we know

Wow, thank you for the detailed guidance, and yes we do have cats so this is very helpful. Starting to wonder if we should just avoid too much exploring of the natural areas, which seems a shame but I didn’t realise there was so many insects to consider. Naïve tourist alert 🙁

We do get snow in March here too but it’s only that deep in the North/Scotland. I can’t even imagine 😳 do you get snowdrops or daffodils?

Thank you, what lovely creatures they seem to be! Curious to know if they have any environmental benefits to redeem themselves 🙂

Thank you, very interesting to read as some people have said the black flies don’t really tend to bite. Always better safe than sorry

Black Flies SUCK! -pun intended-

Tanks are shaped in certain ways precisely in order to ensure a water surface which permits sufficient interactions with the atmosphere, enabling oxygen and CO2 exchanges etc. If you seal off the tank, this can no longer happen. Death would actually be the expected result of doing that.

Wow, these flies seem to really like humans 😳 we must smell tasty
