Call your county’s master gardener helpline to ask this. Trust me, they live for questions like this. https://njaes.rutgers.edu/master-gardeners/helplines.php

I’d give you advice, but I live in Texas and know nothing about what would work in NJ.

The scale of a sail needed to propel a cargo ship is really quite a bit different from what you might imagine on an old frigate, aka a “pirate ship.” Making a sail that large out of traditional materials is not feasible, and would require a ton of people to operate it. One of these monstrosities is staffed by probably less than 20 people, and labor is expensive, so this sort of solid material, computer operated sail can be both feasible and cost effective, whereas old school type sails were not

It doesn’t say anything about the DNC. Are you sure you read all the words present here?

Boomers did have the Vietnam War, where almost 60K Americans were killed, hundreds of thousands were wounded, and millions of Boomers were drafted to go to war. By comparison, over the entire 20 year war in Afghanistan, 2.4K Americans were killed, and our military was all volunteer. Over the 70s-80s there were also multiple pretty bad recessions and some inflation rates that rivaled 2023, and the oil embargo in the 70s had transportation at a standstill. The HIV epidemic killed thousands in the 80s, and per capita deaths for many major diseases were significantly higher than today. Back in the 70s and 80s, automobile accident deaths and violent crime rates were also significantly higher than today. For Boomers as kids through young adults, measles was common, with hundreds of thousands of cases per year and high rates of death or permanent disability.

And these were just some of the bad things that happened during a period of relative peace and prosperity. All this to say we should always fight to improve our society, and don’t just blindly accept bad things as inevitable or insurmountable. The past just wasn’t all sunshine and roses, and people really need to get over that.

I’m trying to grow some because I love them but they’re so expensive. I’ve found their seeds readily germinate, and they grow really quickly. Will probably be a couple years before it fruits, but I’m down for the long game. They’re basically cactus vines, which I did not know before I started growing them

Great grandpa had it easy! WWI, the Spanish Flu, and the Great Depression were cake compared to today

Not trying to invalidate your feelings, but all those things have happened repeatedly for millennia and were much more severe before now

I’m hard pressed to find any definition or use of the word “dysmorphia” that isn’t directly related to perception of one’s body. The word “dysmorphic” could be used to describe a malformed body part regardless of how the person feels about it, but malformed is a much more common way to describe that. “Dysmorphia” though seems to only describe an internal experience related to the perception of one’s body

Honestly probably a majority of people do, but it’s only for a much smaller subset that it becomes clinically relevant, meaning it significantly impacts someone’s functioning in other areas of life

Dysphoria would be a more apt description, because it’s just a profound state of unease or distress that could be related to anything. Dysmorphia, like this dumb article uses, specifically refers to dissatisfaction with the shape of one’s body

Y’all, remember this is sugar water and even at $1.06 there’s a significant profit margin.

Did they just dump sand in a big pile? Sand dunes are pretty well-understood ecosystems that require something underneath to anchor to as well as plants on top to stabilize them.

But also, the ocean is going to continue to rise, so any effort is likely futile. Sorry about that dude’s tennis court getting ruined

You’ll be surprised to hear this is often not the case

Also, Mali

But how do you define “facts?” And how do you define “truth?” And how do you define “is?”

Speak for yourself, I’m having this conversation from a papasan chair I found on the side of the road

Truth in any context will always rely on facts

Why?

Oh the original Continental Club is in Austin, been there since the 50s. The 2nd location in Houston location opened more recently. There’s a SXSW poster on the right, so I’m going to assume this was taken in Austin

Big Top Candy Shop is right across the street, but can’t say I know anything about a clown bar. And here I thought I was a true Austinite 😂
