Need to start launching from Australia at this rate. Maybe then they’ll show up in the correct vertical orientation.

Everyone knows the appropriate solution is drying the device in your microwave.

1st Ed AD&D players when their AC is 70: ☠️

They also touch when you just shut the hell up.

Just leave. They’re probably listening to you while trying to remain motionless because they can’t stand people in the morning. Go home. Break the silent stale mate.

I haven’t found any good resources even in urban areas. There’s just not much there for older NDs. Everything is geared towards children. Also, think it’s very unknown how much more exhausting masking gets as you get older. It’s not something you just get better at, it still takes a lot of effort and as you age and energy levels drop it becomes more and more unsustainable.

They definitely can overwinter. And, in your climate that should be possible.

Couple of things:

• they don’t grow well over the cold months and go into a sort of semi-dormancy.
• pruning them heavily before spring seems mostly detrimental. they may try to push new growth which will suffer, and seem to benefit from a cloak of leaves/dead stuff.
• they don’t tend to do well in subsequent years. the center of the stem doesn’t become woody and instead starts to rot out. (I’ve done it several times. They have problems.)

If you end up with a plant with some viable shoots come January/February and you’re not expecting any frost, rooting some cuttings or layering from the original plant can give you viable starts for spring planting. (This probably makes the most sense in your scenario.)

If you plan on starting from seed, most places that sell starts get theirs going first week of January. They have a small seed and take a while, especially in cool weather, to get good enough size for transplant.

The other option is seeding in place, which preserves the native taproot damaged in the transplanting process. This can result in more vigorous plants, but can be challenging in terms of weeding and managing pests. (With you growing on a balcony, the benefits/challenges here might be minimal.)

My kids won’t have this problem. Given the circumstances that have been obvious for 40-50 years I made the best and most responsible parenting decision possible. I didn’t have any.

Plate of olives and a liter of beer used to be my go-to after work wind down snack.

“Oh yeah, I’ll be back in a bit. Just realized I forgot something in my car…” They’ll probably not even miss you. Just go home. I would. If anyone asks, you weren’t feeling well. It’s true.

In the beginning, humans were dumb as fuck. They still are, but they used to be, too.

The first FF was the best game in the series. It was your party from start to finish. You could replay with different class make-ups. They didn’t close off parts of the map as you progressed through the story and dump in characters or take them away as events unfolded. And, you could level 4 black belts to 50 and one shot Chaos with crazy 24 hit combos.

Huh, sooo this is a sentence…

The dish traditionally originates from the village of Mousehole in Cornwall and is traditionally eaten during the festival of Tom Bawcock’s Eve to celebrate his heroic catch during a very stormy winter.

Did those trees, before there were decomposers, have access to nitrogen fixing bacteria? Where were they getting ammonium and nitrate?
Just stuff built up from lightning, nitrogen and oxygen?

Edit: Looks like land dwelling soil forming bacteria started in the Cambrian. Then, in the Ordovician the first land plants. Then, in the Silurian vascular plants and trees appeared.

Even table games before that served much the same purpose, similar with sports and some hobbies. It’s much easier to talk about something or over something while engaging in an activity. They provide a default topic, a medium, a space and a diversion from unwelcome topics when needed; an agreed upon means of social interaction.

Everything is bad. Don’t.

If the first was Monday as he describes, every 12th would be a Friday. There would be exactly zero Fridays on the 13th of any month.

Every 13th would only be Friday if the first was on Sunday.

mob justice like this only undermines the justice system…

This is far from the worst thing undermining the justice system. It’s not even an egregious example of mob justice. But I suspect we mostly agree. I’ve said all I’ve got to say about it.

Sorry. That could be confusing. Yeah. The murderer should go to jail for murder. Absolutely.

I’d have a really hard time sentencing the victim’s family for attacking the murderer.

That was my point. Apologies for leaving that ambiguous in my initial comment.

Oh no. If this keeps up Biden’s Secret Service agents will have to tell Trump’s Secret Service agents their client needs a nap and that his diapie is full. Anyway…
