Keep it in your peripheral but don't stare directly.

The soil type you describe is what is usually recommended. I have a lot of clay in my soil so I planted my bushes on a slope that is too steep to mow. That seems to provide enough drainage. They did have a brief fungal infection on their second year, I treated with sulfur powder and haven't had any problems in subsequent years. A cheap pH meter says my soil is around 5, but I don't put a lot of confidence in its measurements.

The flowers are also beautiful and have a pleasant aroma.

It's aluminum, and I have seen it first hand. My brother is not attentive... He almost burned the house down a couple times.

Those coil heaters put out a lot of heat at full power. Once all the water evaporates, that heat raises the temperature of the pan very quickly.

Don't set a pot to boil and then go do something else in a different room, especially if that something else is playing age of empires.

We should all be so excited that a new federal sales tax that didn't go through congress, and hasn't been challenged by congress, is only at absurd levels instead of straight embargo levels.

Gravity would shred everything way before you noticed any cool time dilation effects. If somehow you became invincible, you still wouldn't see a fast forward movie of the universe, the light falling into the black hole also experiences distortions and becomes so blueshifted that you could not "see" anything. Outside observers also could not see you or anything else slow down on approaching the event horizon. Any light emitted from an infalling object becomes so redshifted, the ability to observe an infalling object fades away extremely quickly and is not infinite.

I think it would be the progression from gathering firewood in the winter. They would notice that logs are easier to drag in the snow/on ice. Logs also glide way more easily along their length as opposed to across the side. So maybe you pick a couple long logs to pile all your other sticks on so you can drag a whole heap of wood in one go. Eventually that gets refined into a sleigh with bone runners. Then you just need someone who wants to have some fun with the idea and plays around with making a miniature version they can strap to their feet.

He hasn't had a great streak in completing progress in haunted chocolatier because he keeps getting pulled back into stardew valley ports and making new content for stardew valley. If he and his collaborators soon have to support both stardew valley and haunted chocolatier across multiple platforms, I don't expect development on a new stardew valley game to progress quickly at all. I would expect half life 3 like timelines.

Based on the subject matter, I thought this was going to be a StuffMadeHere video.

The time to stop fighting was after the recount. This guy sued to throw out legitimate ballots based on baseless claims about verifying id. He has no moral fiber. This is just an acknowledgement that the efforts to steal the supreme court seat were causing more damage to the NC GOP than what suceeding would benefit them.

Is it really conceding if the federal courts have to step in to preserve the election process?

This guy should be excluded from any judgeship after participating in undermining fair elections.

I'm going to stretch the definition of tree and answer with blueberry bushes. I have planted all sort of fruit trees, but in my climate it's difficult to get high quality fruit without using pesticides. Pest pressure is significant. The blueberries on the other hand require little maintenance and they thrive even in depleted soils. I also like that the berries ripen over the span of a few weeks, so it's not as much of a rush to pick and process everything all at once. I'm in zone 7b/8a, but there are a variety of cultivars that do well from USDA zones 3-9.
