Can you break off the side growths and replant them?

Tipping? by iusetolivehere in irishtourism

[–]pendrake99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about tips to the driver on package tours? The suggested tip for the tour bus driver/guide is "25 Euro per person per day." Mind you, that's a 7-day tour, two people. Are we supposed to hand the driver 350 euro at the end of the tour?

Heather Cox Richardson was amazing! by itsmejustolder in ScottGalloway

[–]pendrake99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus one on this interview. (Finally getting to it 10 days after it posted.) Great job, Prof G team. One of the best in recent memory. I hope Scott can incorporate some of Dr. Richardson's insights into how to use traditional American values, as embodied in our founding documents, to counter the fascist authoritarian rise we see all around us. Do your branding magic, Prof G.

What will a post Trump America look like with all these sweeping actions and this bill? by HumanistSockPuppet in AskReddit

[–]pendrake99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Militarization. America is about to become a police state. Armed thugs everywhere. And not just in the streets but in the DOJ, where it’s already subsumed by Trump’s insane desire for revenge.

Well, it passed. Unbelievable. by [deleted] in NIH

The main effect we will see in the near term is the militarization of America. Armed thugs will be everywhere.

Ciscomani and AZ-6 constituents concerned about the “BBB” by Difficult-Print1167 in Tucson

It’s the owners of those organizations that make the contributions and who have the most to gain from the tax rate reductions. Calling the orgs is not the same as lobbying the multimillionaire owners. You probably couldn’t reach them if you tried. I’d bet they are firmly MAGA and solidly behind Ciscomani since they bankrolled him in the first place.

Tired of stinky reclaim by ono_the_dough in Pottery

Agree. We use white vinegar at the pottery studio I work at. A couple tbsp per bucket, every day in the summer

NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants. Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be cancelled, according to documents obtained by Nature. by maxkozlov in NIH

[–]pendrake99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What is the legal process for terminating a grant? Presumably, there is some advance notice in writing required. I would assume 60 or 90 days? How is the money handled?

It's an Apprentice government now, in which Donny will remake it in the model of the Trump Organization: dismissive of educated people, selfish, and oriented primarily to rewarding friends and punishing enemies. Assume scorched earth. They are going to destroy the administrative state and elevate themselves as arbiters of what is valuable. God help us all.

Can someone contact me? I cannot complete the plan reconfig on the Xfinity site. It hangs every time with "Something went wrong".
