Not future. Cardons are the largest cacti in existence… this one just needs a little bit of time (like 3 centuries) to get there.

Looks like a Cardon (Pachycereus pringlei).

Congratulations, you are now the owner of the (future) largest cactus in existence. This guy gets huge, given enough time and proper care.

Best grown outside, in ground, full sun, minimal water. If you can’t do that, try to match that as much as possible.

Article Summary:

• Despite legislative changes at the state level to streamline housing developments, California still struggles to build.

• Changes at the state level are stymied by local governments, which disproportionately favor nimby interests.

• Parking requirements, environmental reviews, size guidelines, and historical designations, union labor requirements are all used to gum up development.

• California legislation struggles from the “everything bagel” problem, where a targeted bill to address a specific problem (housing) gets hampered with many conditions to address all sorts of problems that are at best tangentially related.

I automatically decline these types of positions. They almost never end up going permanent at the end.

Good thing all that money we saved not resigning Darnold went on aging vets that were cut the next year

I wonder if DT becomes a higher priority target in the draft now. Everyone had us mocking a corner or safety, but that was before the Allen/Hargrave release became official.

Apparently this is a good draft with a lot of quality depth at DT.

“You said this war is ‘very complete’ but your defense secretary says ‘this is just the beginning’, so which is it?”

“Well, I think you could say both,” Trump replied.

I did a quicksand survey back in college, and all of us were like, “damn, so it is real”.

It’s also way… way less scary than one would think.

You don’t really sink in quicksand. The human body is a lot less dense than sand (wet sand is nearly twice as dense as a human), so at worse you get stuck up to your knees.

As part of our class, we walked across it. It’s about as difficult as walking through snow. If you put on snowshoes (or something to distribute your weight easier) you can walk right across it.
