  • Um. North Korea doesn't have hostile neighbors. They are bordered by South Korea, China, and Russia.

    South Korea is in a strictly defensive posture. Russia is more or less an ally. And China is North Korea's largest trade partner.

    Interestingly, North Korea was one of the largest financiers contributors to the tunnels in Gaza. Hmm, wonder why that is.

  • Lol they've been effective so far. Tehran knows what will happen if it processes fissile material into a weapon. You have misunderstood.

    What if your calculous is wrong, your media sources tainted by anti American propaganda, and there's not actually a genocide occuring? What if is there are sad but nonetheless valid explanations for the massive civilian death tolls?

    Plenty of people including virtually the entire intelligence and diplomatic corps of the western world, along with virtually everyone in Washington DC, disagrees with you.

  • The root of the aggression, the funding and weapons sources, and the ideological metastases against Israel is in Iran, 1,000 miles away as the crow flies.

  • What? Israel's nuke program deters all of its hostile neighbors, who are actual far right dictatorships, from trying to roll through it and actually commit another Holocaust.

  • And then the Republican partisans in Congress will refuse to accept electors from states that don't fall in line.

    The next midterm election is this country's absolute last chance.

  • You get it.

    I used to represent a lot of trade workers for a very large defense contractor. They had an employee benefits office with an 800 number for workers to call to ask about their retirement, insurance, death benefits, short and long term disability, workers comp., etc., and nobody ever answered the phone. They would change the hours every six months. Like sometimes it was only open on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, then the other half of the year it was only open on Mondays. Ratfuckers.

  • Imo, being present in the jurisdiction, subject to the jurisdiction's laws, and only voting once and in and one jurisdiction per election, with some form of proof of residence issued by the jurisdiction, should be all that's required.

    Step 0: Show your finger at the door to the polls.

    Step 1: Bring a letter to yourself from state or town government, register to vote with your town, have a current driver's license, or something equivalent, and receive a ballot.

    Optional Step 1: Swear an affidavit before the registrat of voters that you are who you say you are and live where you say you live, no ID required; hold the ballot provisionally for a period in case someone wishes to challenge it for cause. This is currently the law in my state. If local government cannot take a citizen at their unchallenged, sworn oath, then everything falls apart.

    Step 2: Vote.

    Step 3: Dip your pointer finger in temporary die, also known as election ink.

    Optional Steps 0-3: Preregister to vote with proof of residence only to be able to receive an official, serialized ballot mailed to your residence. Register checks serial number to make sure you don't vote twice.

    Done.

    Just let people vote. Who cares about their citizenship if they reside in the jurisdiction and are subject to its laws, as long as they can't vote twice?

    I'm also in favor of lowering the voting age to sixteen. Kids can be very smart. No reason they can't start shaping their future if they want.

  • This is really good. I read a lot of kid's books and always like ones illustrated with watercolor, and this is better than many, many illustrations I see.

    Every browser I switched to since Firefox has been a good user experience, and then I find out some horrible bullshit.

    Is there any safe browser that isn't run by hateful assholes?

  • Oh that makes sense.

  • Can i grow a hydrangea tree from a mature shrub?

    Jump

  • Absolutely. Cut all those extra shoots and branches down to the trunk and then paint it with Bonide Pruning Sealer or equivalent, then wrap it with an opaque tree wrap, not burlap, something with wound protection in mind.

    Then you want to fuse the centermost shoots/branches by lashing them together; I like anodized aluminum wire (bonsai wire) for this because it's easy to work with and allows a little stretch, you can use zip ties as well.

    Here's an article that touches on the technique. See the part about thickening branches. Basically, you're going to grow the branches so close to each other that in a few seasons they are just one branch.

    Bonsai training is the ticket here, for your research. Plenty of people do bonsai hydrangea and someone have probably written about fusion techniques specific to hydrangea.

    Depending on where you are, after that massive prune, it might not be the right season to cut it back much further. You might want to cut all the branches outside of the center back by several more inches, so that they are all shorter then the center branches, and then do the remaining cutting and begin the fuse in winter.

    Ymmv.

    There's also the opposite technique of trunk fusion, which is trunk splitting. You may find that once you get in there, there are several different plants that want to come apart. You can break them on their seams if'n you find seams, and then done proper trunk merge.
