I really didnโt care enough to look into it further. Iโm not sure what the objection was.
I know little more than you, Iโm afraid. I think sheโs a singer, and she wound some people up by playing a flute (?).
Iโm pretty sure Dogโs scab is almost ready to come off. Itโs a bit wobbly around the edges, and he flinched when I poked it earlier, and omg he is being a nightmare trying to get at it: I canโt wait for it to come off, life will be so much easier!
Hey, if it works then go for it!
I once gave my dog a choice of steak (trimmings) or cabbage (trimmings).
He did eat the steak eventually.
Maybe you could give yourself a brief moment of joy by burning a journal page every morning?
It is caused by lack of calcium in the fruit, but the lack of calcium is caused by lack of water in the plant making it harder to transport the calcium from the roots to the fruit.
I have no idea if adding calcium to the soil helps but I suspect not.
The United Auto Workers union is pressing the Detroit car companies to give its factory workers a 40% pay hike in the next labor contract, an increase that would be the largest in recent memory.

Car prices will go up twenty percent. Most of this is just acknowledging how much value the currency has lost under sleepy corrupt Joe Biden.
Wow, I thought our junior doctors were being absurd with their 30% demands.
Completely OT, are you doing the font changes deliberately (using html?) or is that just how Mastodon renders markdown or what?
Youโve got your answer, but really you already had it: it sounds like the plants were making their meaning clear!
(As well as blossom end rot, inconsistent watering can lead to the fruit splitting, which is also not great. Unless you have a dog who loves tomatoes and gets the discards.)
This is not relevant to anything we normally talk about here, but the fact that this happens in Indiaโs largest state (and eleven more besides) was news to me.
Under Uttar Pradeshโs Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021, โno person shall convert or attempt to convertโ another individual, directly, or otherwise, by โmisrepresentation, force, undue influence, coercion, allurement or by any fraudulent means.โ
I would agree with the part about force or coercion, but โmisrepresentationโ (given that I donโt believe any religion accurately represents reality) and โundue influenceโ seem very vague.
The part about putting young children in prison with their mothers may be well intended, though if another family member is available and the mother prefers the child be be placed with him or her, I would hope that this could be arranged.

Unfortunately, the way it often works is that if a mixed couple decide to marry and she (usually) converts to Islam, this law can get invoked.
Thatโs actually both really sweet and, frankly, what a lot of people need to do.
This morning, a curlew flew alongside us for a few hundred yards, telling us off, and that was lovely.
Might need a sign for the front door saying โweโre in the shedโ.
Sheldon Mills, the executive director for consumers and competition at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), worked on board membership rules which would have allowed companies to define a woman as anyone who identifies as female.
Mr Mills was appointed to his role at the FCA in March 2020, a month before he became chairman of Stonewall where he had been a trustee since 2013.
The proposals on self-identification, drawn up in 2021, would have applied to the boards and committees of all companies listed on the London Stock Exchange.
However they were watered down following a public consultation which received more than 400 responses on the issue of self-identification.

Varoufakis makes me twitch after what he did in government, but he may have a point.
