That mesh is what holds commercial sod together. And yes, they still do it.
We're working to return a lawn, put in by previous owners, to meadow/wildflowers. In the process, this is what we dug up, a whole mess of plastic. Please tell me people don't still do this. #SaveThePlanet #Microplastics

I love seeing AOC dunking on shitheads as much as the next guy, but can we please stop treating it as some kind of victory? Itβs not. Itβs just words. Bills becoming laws which protect vulnerable people, now thatβs worth celebrating. More of that, please. Otherwise, no matter how satisfying the clapback itβs still just talk.
I think he understands, he just doesn't care. His personal thirst for power and money are more important to him than someone else's life.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' extreme 6-week abortion ban requires rape victims to provide documentation of the rape. Governor DeSantis doesn't understand that rape victims need help, not hurdles.

I have an unconfirmed story for why the parking lot of an abandoned building near my work is filled with Teslas, from someone who was moving one of them and says he works for the local Tesla sales dealer.
They removed most of the cars they had in stock and are telling prospective buyers they should buy now, because supply is very low. Artificial scarcity, to increase demand.

It's not a myth, it's documented. And, as I said, this is not the time to worry about it. That's a minor issue in the face of atrocities committed by the invaders.
Common Sleeping Pill Could Slow or Stop Alzheimerβs Disease
poor sleep is linked to higher levels of both amyloid and tau in the brain. The question remains as to whether good sleep has the opposite effect β a reduction in amyloid and tau levels, and a halt in or reversal of the progress of Alzheimerβs disease β but mouse studies with orexin inhibitors have been promising.

It's a total #misframing of #MSNBC and other #news outlets to call the #societal dimension of #GunViolence an βΊ#epidemicβΉ.
Gun violence is a deliberate #choice made by members of a #DeathCult which, for the most part, #disguise themselves as βΊ#ProLifeβΉ:
Plain and simple, the #GOP *wants* people to be killed en masse.

I have some mixed emotions about the Azov battalion, and their actions before the invasion, but right now is not the time to deal with it. Kick Russia's ass, kick it hard, kick it often, kick it far across the border. Worry about the rest later.
I have a thing for #bears I saw them all the time where I used to live ...it was always a thrill. I guess my bear isn't very well-camouflaged. I wanted to make him look festive instead.

I'm writing a new book about my life after divorcing an extraterrestrial from Venus. I'm calling it: SpaceX.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
