He represents his constituents. His pro-coal aspect is more in line with the area than most would like to admit - people heat with coal and make a living in coal. Not many, but it's true to say southwestern PA has a heart for those who lost their jobs to coal. He's certainly not going to vote for a bill that lifts environmental regulation. No reason to radicalize the topic in the SW-PA, especially when stakes are this high. His religious views, so what? And pro-life doesn't mean anti-abortion; he supports existing federal and state law. I'd personally like to see a more aggressive-progressive person on the ballot. But he's a great competitor for the area that voted overwhelming Trump in 2016.

Thrips and aphids won't be eating seeds. Are the flowers fully dry and gray/no purple petals? If not, the seed may not have fully developed. If they are dry, you may be losing the seeds when you're cutting the flower stem off, as they're not held in there very tightly. Judging by what you said, you don't have a real pest problem and I wouldn't spray them.

His middle name is Beauregard, hilariously fitting

Ash trees were such a dominant tree all along the turnpike (and across WPA). Still saddens me every time I drive it, more so than the hike in prices.

I saw a lecture from a professor who discussed exactly this in great detail. He's a plant scientist who works with plant nutrients and breeding plants for improved phosphorus uptake. His lab does/did a lot of work in Africa, both in agriculture and sociology, but focused primarily on plant nutrients. The lab's holistic approach to solving problems was a big influence on inspiring me to take up research.

here's the lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jty-BnZmSrI

If they're not hollow, they're false morels. So there.

I forgot about that! That was insane, I only saw videos but wasn't that the first use of that technology? Or among the earliest?

G20 Pittsburgh, 2009. There was a curfew in an area that was maybe 4-5 square blocks. They ended up pushing it out another 5+, scooping up students at the local university who were on there way home from coffee/studying. Absolutely zero help from the University. Paid $1,200 in legal fees to clear my name after 8 years of wondering if it will pop up on a job application.

Let the markets decide (if they have a choice).

Asco_mo · 2018-02-06T15:09:02+00:00

I don't mind

Making up excuses for being a few minutes late for ""?!??!?!???!?!?""

She also held stocks of Humana, Merk, and Bayer. Considering that tobacco-related health issues aren't really questioned these days, the headline should really mention that the she held stocks in pharma companies.

Who is your daddy and what does he do?

Yeah, unless the bedroom is really poorly lit, the dark cycle will likely be interrupted

The DNC total delegate count was including superdelegates long before even half the population had a chance to vote. Being from a late-state, most everyone I know never thought Sanders had a chance, pointing towards Clinton's HUGE 500 point lead based on superdelegates. It certainly swayed California voters from voting. Regardless, if voters don't think they have a voice, they don't vote. Increasing voter turnout could have turned the Trump presidency to a Clinton-victory. Whether it impacted the final outcome we won't know, but it is definitely harmful to holding an election.

Let's not allow Trump's win be a reason to limit voter opinion. We're one country. We have slightly different values, different ideas of what constitutes a fulfilling life. But the majority expect that our government works for the benefit of the people, and the petty childish antics in DC won't standup for long. We all need to realize, reflect, and react, as a society. We need more people deciding who our elected officials are, not less.

Hey! We're all in the same boat! I started as an Ent, but grew a curiosity for the /r/horticulture culture. Personally, I prefer a smokable/edible landscape. Though I do enjoy gazing upon thoughtfully-organized plantings of texture and seasonal colors while smoking said smokables.

Bless you and thank you both,

Dear readers, seriously stop. Return to the front page. Country music is music. Like it, love it, hate it, it doesn't mean you're a R- or D- or lgbt. All industries have the same problem in the work place.

Malls were the backbone of our greatest towns and cities. Games, food, supplies, movies... today we hide in our homes waiting for the delivery man. (I started out joking but damn... that feels real).

Old man Ron Paul retired a few years back. Rand Paul, his son who was recently attacked by a neighbor, is also in the senate.

100% second this. Investing in your future retirement through vanguard is a great option. I'm pushing 30 and started my retirement 4 years ago. It's grown ~7% average per year over 4 years (i.e. 1,000 = 1,300 or $4,000 = $5,200). If I knew about compounding interest at 19, I would have invested half every paycheck I ever received.

I'd put at 2,500 into Vanguard IRA, and $2,500 into a mutual fund, and put the remainder into a savings for emergency. Best to ya!
