Pakistan to drop nuclear weapon on Israel if Israel nukes Iran, says Rezaei
That's a bold statement, since I'm pretty sure Hindu Nationalists intend to glass Islamabad the second they get a good excuse.
Maybe everybody chill the fuck out. Two uses of nuclear weapons were enough.

'Alarmingly low' monarch butterfly population calls for international conservation strategy: Guelph professor
New residential developments, monoculture farm consolidation, and not a native plant in site. Trying to get people to abandon zero utility lawns that require constant mowing and fertilizer is an uphill battle. I don't want to think about all the lesser known butterflies and moths suffering even worse, like Papaipema eryngii.

Never too late to grab it back. Probably won't happen this term, but it's not like it can't happen ever.

Typically when a country undergoes a violent internal conflict that depletes the coffers, the neighboring country's resources start looking really nice.

What is happening in America is a terrorism problem, but both sides are so locked into the means they are ignoring the motives. The only two ways for Americans to recognize terrorism appear to be:

In America most hunting is done with shotguns loaded with slugs (or birdshot) or bolt action rifles. The rifle the FBI reported the shooter used is a pretty basic looking bolt action rifle. Same kind people everywhere sit in tree stands with, waiting for deer or elk.
The Mauser design is about 125 years old. The type of bullet is from 1906. There are a lot of these things floating around in the US. A worrying amount of them probably aren't even locked up.

The problem is then it goes to the courts, and the courts do discovery. Then it's in the news. Again.

Vegetable gardens and native flowers > grass
Reply in thread
Grass isn't even horrific on its own. There are plenty of grasses, fescues, and sedges with native faunal associations.
Never letting it grow tall enough to flower and seed, though?

Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
Monument Valley is/was free on Epic. It's a nice little puzzler. I like it, enough to beat the main game and start on the DLC (included). Lightweight, cute, not too many mechanics. It's not nearly as visually impressive or as challenging as my favorite space bending game, Manifold Garden, though.

Breaking through the mental wall for anti-2A liberals unfortunately only happens once it's too late to get effective training, if it happens at all...
A gun/gear group I know of recently tried to donate money to a charity for queer folks in the the south. The charity denied the donation because "they don't take money from anyone who uses firearms for work" (paraphrased).
Let's take a moment to digest that.
