That last one, my gosh. Let me tell you about the first time I ate a burrito up here in New England... They gave it to me on a plate. With silverware. And the sauce and cheese on the gd outside.
5 out of 7, perfect comment
Getting this party started:
Super neat, I thought I had some going but lost them in another squash or something. Make sure to post when you harvest!
Look at her go! So fast!
You're moving goalposts again, as I provided the excerpt from the article that you asked for in your prior comment.
The truth of the matter is that each of the racially motivated hurdles to voting I've previously noted follow a clear pattern of aiming to prevent certain groups from voting and this latest one is no different. No fluctuation of strawman arguments will change that
Yeah they love the heck out of Rosaceae members for sure. If you've got the flies around, keep an eye out for a white dot on the heads of the beetles - that's the sign that there is an egg which will hatch and parasitize them. The BT will go after them during their grub phase in the soil, which should make other control methods even more useful. A good rule of thumb for these live controls is to check for lot numbers and packaging dates, as less BT will survive the longer the package sits before use.
3rd paragraph in:
Some Democrats contend the measures could create hurdles for legal voters, are unnecessary and lead people to believe the problem of noncitizens voting is bigger than it really is.
Legislatures pass bills. Sometimes they are called resolutions, or other names, but the items that are voted on are bills. Prior to the passage of these bills, only citizens could legally vote anyway. Noncitizens face fines, jail, and deportation for an act that has no mathematical influence on these elections even if it were to happen, which it generally does not.
By changing the language from "all citizens", it sets up opportunities to selectively disenfranchise those citizens who are able and registered to vote. This selective enforcement will fall disproportionately on those people who belong to the targeted group - in this case, those who look like the people immigrating across the southern U.S. border - similar to how poll taxes and literacy tests were used to prevent other groups from exercising their legitimate right to vote. And that's by design, else these measures would not be coupled with fear mongering about these people.
This article is referencing new bills that will disenfranchise legitimately registered voters, and is not about bills loosening current voting laws. Current voting laws, as you yourself have stated, are clearly working.
I still get the shiver of worry around spiders, but I will say that for every spider I've witnessed I've seen hundreds of butterflies and moths. I understand and empathize with the concern though

Don't ask me how I spotted it, because I genuinely can't answer that.

Just hanging out at the sun goes down and this little friend stopped by. There are a ton of them thanks to our Monarda fistulosa in several gardens around the property
It's been a flurry of activity this week - we've been hosting a friend who's here to build out his photography portfolio. As part of that, there were a number of chores and tasks I had to delay in order for him to get some of the shots he was looking for, followed by mad dashes of activity and pausing for shots while in the doing. He ended up with some ~1200 photos and maybe an hour or two of drone footage:

I definitely tend to see the work left to do in the gardens instead of what's been accomplished unless I'm showing things to people, so let me just say this:
I'm really impressed by the work you're putting in for your gardens, and how they're coming along!
What's growing on with you all?

In counter-clockwise order: Niji, Una, Karen, and Trés Chic.
One of our hens, Greensleeves, is still sitting on a clutch of eggs and we saw two more chicks beginning to hatch this morning. We're really hopeful for them to finish their hatch well and be up and about soon.
MH4U on the 3ds was my first introduction and I actually kinda miss being able to quickly tap the items that were up on the touch screen to use them. World on PS and Rise on the switch scratch the itch but I was visibly upset that tracking didn't make it into Rise; it was just a great mechanic and it felt extra satisfying to build out the monster knowledge, and it added some wonderful depth to the gameplay.
I'm not really all that crazy about the fort defense mechanic in Rise, I'd genuinely skip it if I could.
As much as I enjoy the series and still play it, there's a certain amount of ennui that I'm experiencing when it comes to hunting Jaggis and the rest of the same monsters every time. New mechanics help to make up for it by having the hunt be slightly different, but wow what I wouldn't give for a totally new experience playing Monster Hunter.
