Don't forget the Jenever museum. Its the forerunner of Gin and the museum tour provides samples.

Flying cars are a bad idea if you think about it. I mean do you really want a car come crashing through your roof as the result of an accident?
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Not if you are stuck in traffic behind a driver like me.

It's been true through history, some ingenuity and you may actually confound even seemingly powerful modern forces arrayed against you.


Quote:
The immediate goal of the restrictions is to prod Hamas to abandon what has been an ingenious and, for Israel, exasperating tactic. Since April, Gaza militants have been turning kites and balloons into improvised firebombs, burning hundreds of acres of Israeli farmland and forcing firefighting crews from all over the country to race from fire to fire dowsing flames before they can spread.

The Israeli Army says it has used drones to bring down 670 kites and balloons, but hundreds more have gotten through. By mid-June, officials said, 412 blazes had been set — and the military has conceded that it is unable to stop them.

On Monday alone, at least 28 new arson fires caused by incendiary devices attached to kites and balloons had broken out by early evening.

Are the fires enough to force the invaders to give up the occupation and control over water, building permits, etc. pay reparations and depart?

This is an invasive plant up around where Face lives and some other states. Looks nice enough but can cause 2nd and 3rd degree burns as a guy weeding recently found out. Messed up half his face.

Hogweed

Something somewhere must love to eat it.

Has anyone tried sap from a White Locust? Or what is that area around an oak tree called, a brulee? Nothing grows near there courtesy of chemicals emitted by the oak tree so let those chemicals and the invasive species duke it out for awhile.

Hey Mr. Chemist, I mean Fleastiff. You have any opinion on this?

Quote:
Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in the “gluten-free” foods most of us commonly regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested, they incite a kind of chemical warfare in our bodies, causing inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious health conditions.
