This won't work for all flowers, but some seeds will still ripen off the bush. You could try cutting just some of the spent blooms, maybe with a bit more stem or even some supporting leaves, but I don't know if that matters. Pile them somewhere nearby/accessible to birds and just check back in a couple weeks to see if they ripened on their own. Weeds do it all the time and some native plants, like aster, evening primrose, or mustard families may do the same.
Dude, I thought they meant people who shared the same name and I didn't even think it was too stupid to be true.
God, that article is just one long list of totally avoidable disasters, for people all over the world and for US future diplomacy. All to save some undetermined fraction of 1% of the budget and stop imaginary condom distribution. The ends are stupid and the means are worse.
I'm not sure what specifically is meant by phonics. My grandma taught first grade for 30 years, ending around 2000. She said when phonics came in "that's just teaching reading" and when phonics went out "well, obviously we still have to teach how the alphabet works" and when phonics came in again "eye roll". So, whatever the school leadership says, my guess is kids are learning phonics.
Weird: this is Safeway, Canada

No, I read it that he is demanding more water for Los Angeles for some reason.
“I want to see two things in Los Angeles: Voter ID so that the people have a chance to vote. And I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state. Those are the two things. After that, I will be the greatest president that California ever has ever seen,” he said
California requires state or federal id when registering to vote and when voting for the first time in person. They recently banned cities and districts from making additional requirements.
Los Angeles primarily gets its water from three main sources: the Owens River, Northern California, and the Colorado River, along with local groundwater. Approximately 57% of the region's water supply is imported, while groundwater accounts for about 34% of the total supply.
As a former los angeleno, I have always been proud of the changes they've made to conserve water in homes and business over the last few decades and I don't believe most people living there expect to receive more water from outside the region as the climate worsens. But then, I don't own any golf courses
Holy shit. Kepler was born in the wrong solar system
Ok, thanks for the added context. My point is the same things were said about the Altadena fire when I was in high school nearby, the same year as her first Parable book was published. Fire was not new to the area then, either.
I may be wrong as I haven't read closely, but I don't believe anyone is surprised by these fires. Growing up in the area, fire burned those same areas more than once during my school years. It's chaparral and it is supposed to burn every 10 years or so. But like anytime else it's a big deal when it hits your (or a celebrity) neighborhood vs a couple miles away, and the biggest difference is over the last few decades is that they keep building higher and higher into the mountain, so what used to just be a wildfire is now a neighborhood burning down.
Remember that the stories you hear are always going to be the ones that are most controversial, otherwise they would not be news. The day in day out work of the FDA is enormous and most of it, I believe, necessary for the level of trust in what you find on the shelf, what you're doctor recommends, what your pharmacist hands you, that we enjoy.
I don't want to have to know my farmer, my chemical compounder, my importer, my distributor, my restaurant chef, etc, etc, for every stupid thing just to avoid eating lead or feeding hepatitis to my kids.
The loudest complaints-- selling raw milk is technically illegal? they allow red food coloring as long as you list it in the ingredients? they may or may not allow you to call oat liquid a "milk"?-- sound pretty small to me, and also even these issues are reviewed and discussed more or less transparently in response to people's concerns.
That's everywhere, as far as I can tell.
Set "office hours" and stick to them. She can make a list of things to do. Maybe it needs to be 20 min every evening, or maybe just once or twice a week. My partner has a similar (but more minor) problem, and this has worked both increasing self-help and making the time spent more enjoyable. Though I'm sure it helps that the needy person doesn't live with us. Good luck
We got takeout lunch once for movers (not a full day) because it was convenient as we were already getting for ourselves, but otherwise I've always thought they'd prefer to leave and take a real break (and also often need to go to the store for something anyway). Maybe if there isn't any local takeout place nearby I'd offer something. It's good to keep in mind.
Tricky, as the Tesla would also have to be stopping/stopped for decent impact. Better as a cure for a tailgater, maybe.
This is not remotely true, though perhaps a little less false among those taking international vacations. But also, it seems there is a list of specific people, whose participation in war crimes has been (self?)published to social media, who are most likely to be arrested, so possibly they will be found by name.
Dude, this just makes me mad about the big box stores, you've got aisle after aisle of poisons, herbicide, pesticide, weed n feed, moss off, etc. I know the agriculture use is bigger, but the home/landscaper market has big margins for these companies and they push hard to make it seem normal. The suburbs could be a haven for insects and songbirds instead of a dumping ground for chemical waste.
Maybe not. Data wasn't broken down by choice of weapon.
Among children and young people aged 0 – 19 years in the US, COVID-19 ranked eighth among all causes of death; fifth among all disease-related causes of death; and first in deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases.

Yeah, in the yard, though, not the driveway, that's all.
Hopping around the trailside bush at eye-level is a good indicator.

Is there a reason sometimes I can't block a community from the three dots menu on a post?
Usually the option is there, but sometimes only block user is available.
Thanks.
