The trick to getting the pit off the knife is to not whack it in to begin with. Hold the knife parallel to the first cut and use the point on the back of the knife near your hand to pry the pit up. It doesn’t take much force and the pit pops right out without sticking to the knife.

I had a neighbor who was rather compulsive about her yard. She would mow her yard/have it mowed 2-3 times a week and would use a leaf blower to push the grass clippings onto her neighbors yard every time. She would also leaf blow her roof with surprising frequency.

I gotta say, I was a little relieved when I saw the for sale sign in the yard earlier this year.

Are you a medical insurer?

Usually that kind of thing is done through a bond measure. The increased tax isn’t enough to pay for a big project while it’s under construction. Big projects are financed by selling bonds. Those bonds need to keep being payed back well after the project is complete.

Hmm. What do you recommend to take for wyrms?

In this case, ivermectin might actually be beneficial.

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.

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.

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.

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.

True. If your gut has decided that its purpose is to hate you and everything you eat, then no amount of fiber will convince it otherwise.

IBS isn’t always lifelong though. I hope you can work out a diet that avoids angering the growling intenstinal gremlins.

Fiber helps with that as well.

They’re much too crunchy imo. They really hurt my mouth and throat.

The recruiter sent you an inelligible candidate. That’s just as much their problem as it is yours.

Give a man a login and he can scam for a day. Teach a man to phish and he’ll scam for a lifetime.

People focus on Katy Perry as representative of the whole stunt, because she has been portrayed as the main figure all along.

Pop star Katy Perry and five other women safely returned to Earth after reaching space aboard Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin rocket. - BBC article immediately after the flight

They literally pulled a Katy Perry et al. Do you think that framing just happened without any input from KP and her publicists? Did Katy Perry use her ample airtime to credit all the female engineers that actually worked for years made the flight happen, or to correct notions about the flight not actually accomplishing any significant firsts? Katy Perry gladly took the center of the media spotlight, so naturally people use her image as emblematic when ridiculing the stunt. She is a vapid celebrity doing annoying celebrity messaging like “making space and science glam.”

“This is all for the benefit of Earth,” she added.

Katy Perry is an eager participant in the outrageous messaging around the flight. She earned the ridicule, not by being a woman, but by acting ridiculously.
