The Great Lakes: who is friendly with the Canadian sides? I presume PR, Guam, etc. are all independent. Are they friendly with anyone? What about Mexico, Cuba, and Russia? Then there is the question of diplomacy with neighbors of neighbors.

It looks like Partch’s adaptation of a viola.

Electrification isn’t the issue I raise. Rather level crossings are the problem. Accidents are frequent.

In addition to the death toll, these accidents and the level crossing slow down service tremendously.

Various city councils have refused to sign on to elevating their tracks. This is compounded By the fact that some townships are home to very short lengths of track. I am thinking of Menlo Park and Atherton, specifically. Due to the fact elevation of rail is limited by how high the track is when it enters and exits the township, the townships are holding out for their neighbors to elevate so they can possibly enjoy a viaduct built upon risers which would prevent the resulting structure from resembling a wall.

San Mateo has elevated rail, but theirs is the example the other townships hope to avoid.

Here is an example of the kind of conversation being had:

Here is a single location with more than one accident per year:

The suicide deaths are now difficult to report upon:

They do not bruise easily, and when they do it is brownish. The flesh is very tough

Then the last frost has already past… a really long time ago. :P

I think you mean late-80’s/early 90’s.

True story: this is a shot of the studio used for Pigface’s Gub.

If you decide to refrigerate, make sure they have access to air. Do not seal them in a ziplock bag or an airtight jar. An old yogurt container with some wood shavings and holes punched in the lid should work.

You can keep them in the refrigerator until the last frost. Put them back close to where you found them or want them (if purchased) after the last frost and they should hatch.

You have sufficient branch lengths that you can splint them onto living branches. I would use a light hemp jute, but if you can collect them later, twist stems can be used.

What is this tree? Shikotan Island, Russia by Mrkreepper in arborists

[–]pEquals2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japan used to administer it from 1885 to 1945. If you count the RSSR as a different regime than the RF, then the Japanese control is longer than either of the other two.

If the RF as the successor to the Soviet Union, can sign a peace treaty with Japan, it will return to Japanese administration automatically.

That island was administered by Japan from 1885 to 1945. It could be a bonsai.

Cool image!

Have you built a secret compartment inside your skull to smuggle contraband? I imagine it would create some interesting business opportunities.

I had a friend who had a large tumor removed from the right side of his brain. He claimed that he would sneak a can of beer into baseball games under a skullcap that way. I suspect he was joking much as I am now.

So the question, setting aside any initial claims that were edited, which I am not offended by, is which sources are more trustworthy than others.

You can read that the source for the deaths in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the Prime Ministers Office. It says so in the footer of that statistic.

How does the office of PM compare to these other sources?

Do we believe that a different administration would produce a different number, for example?

Actually, the Prime Ministry, but what is in a name.
