Germany’s first hobby horsing championship has got underway in Frankfurt this weekend with hundreds of young riders competing in time jumping, style jumping and dressage on their wooden stick horses
Mine was brought back from about this state when a friend gave it to me, so recovery is possible.
Mine thrives with indoor lighting and a little natural light, so don't fret as long as its not full sun or in a closet it should be fine.
Warmth can just be "not really cold" for people. Anything above 15C is probably passable. So long as its in your house it shouldn't perish, it might just slow its growth if you don't have a heater on high.
Humidity might be an issue and over or under watering. If you live someplace where the air is very dry it could be challenging as you'd have to dote on it to keep it in the sweet spot water wise.
CHICAGO—Sending commuters into a panic, a switchblade-wielding subway rider was reportedly locked in a tense standoff Thursday with a penis-wielding rider. “As soon as the two of these guys made eye contact, everybody knew there was no way they were getting out of there without a fight,” said witnes...
Autobrewery syndrome is rare and probably has more to do with your diet and antibiotic use than consuming a few actively fermenting drinks.
Some drinks like pulque are traditionally drunk that way and that's why they can't be shipped long distances. So if its been done by other cultures for thousands if years, I'm not a doctor, but I'm gonna wager its fairly safe.
Sources close to the estranged, California-based son of King Charles III deny that he’s dealing with a mid-life crisis over his loss of royal status.
WINDER, GA—In the hours following a violent rampage in Georgia in which a lone attacker killed at least four individuals and injured nine others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Wednesday that there was no way to prevent the m...
Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks said a top concern for officials within the defense community has been securing national interests in the face of climate change effects.
The Federal Government actually owns most of the west. Its the reason why there's more land for public recreation and national parks in that region of the country.
You can typically hike, camp, or explore BLM land, which is the majority of it, as much as you want so long as you don't start any fires or litter.
CHICAGO—Confirming the impressive but limited scope of the birds’ cognitive abilities, a study published Thursday by the University of Chicago found that crows were intelligent enough to steal trinkets, but foolish enough to think that material goods would solve their problems. “Our data indicates t...
LITTLE ROCK, AR—Admitting that he had heard the phrase before but was unclear as to its exact meaning, local husband Brad Moff, 35, reportedly asked his wife Thursday if an ectopic pregnancy was a good thing. “Wait, so does that mean that I, like, super-fertilized the eggs?” said Moff, querying his ...
Radical? Far left? Kamala Harris’s policies are just common sense to most Americans | Bernie Sanders
Fox News and Trump claim that Kamala Harris is a wild radical. This is not the case
The islands are the windiest part of the UK, which means it will be rare for the turbines not to be spinning.
The state wants to build a highway through tortoise habitat.
As wildfires intensify, the taxpayer burden is growing
But upfront investments in protecting communities from fires could reduce those costs, one watchdog says.
NORWOOD, OH—Kicking herself as the words “1 free article(s) remaining” hovered at the bottom of her screen, local woman Margaret Cross stated Wednesday that she had wasted a free monthly Cincinnati.com article on a story about a high school golf team. “I just got pulled in because I know my cousin’s...
Attempts to cut greenhouse gases made tougher by increased emissions.
OP-ED. Business management professor Robert Bell says that 25 investment funds, mostly American, hold between 38% and 50% of the shares in Chevron, Exxon, Total, BP and Shell, giving them control of these companies and therefore of the energy transition.
Michael Dourson receives funds from chemical makers and plans to develop and publish studies that benefit firms
From the Middle East to Latin America, incidents of water-related violence have been rising. New data from the Pacific Institute show 2023 was a record year.
It was only a gallon. The disappointment is mostly that I won't have a really weird drink this year.
I've heard cider can be made with unripe apples. Might be worth a shot.
I've got my continuous brew of kombucha going for my daily consumption.
On the more interesting side, I've got some spruce tip mead going which I'm hoping turns out well. There was a little bit of a scare where I was concerned it could be infected, but it seems fine.
Sadly, I was doing an experiment with sea lovage spiced mead which succumbed to mold and needed to be dumped. Something to retry next year.
This year's berry harvest is basically FUBAR. Global warming did a number on it so now there's near zero salmonberries and the ones which did appear are partially desiccated or only half ripe. So no salmonberry wine this year, probably even not enough for jam :(
Blueberries are way too early, but they're tasting fine at least. I'll probably try a blueberry wine or mead. Encountered a few hiccups last year because of their acidity, but I'm better equipped this year so hopefully that turns out well and I can bottle some stuff for the winter.
The US wasn't conducting a genocidal war in Afghanistan. The Russian government is explicitly attempting to erase Ukraine as an entity and anyone who calls themselves Ukrainian with it.
Ngl I kinda want zeplin public transit.
neither party when elected do anything meaningful to secure the border or deport illegals.
It might shock you to learn the best way to prevent immigration is to make the countries experiencing outflows more stable and liveable, but I'm gonna take a wild guess you don't like foreign aid.
maintain demographics
There sure was a lot of hand wringing before you wrote down what your actual problem with immigration was.
Pray tell what is the ideal demographic make up if the United States?
monero icon
Imagine branding yourself with the image of a way to circumvent state authority only to lick the boot at the first opportunity.
Sadly, this is probably true.
Every year is the hottest on record too. The stakes in elections never go down and the problems only pile on.
Deadliest catch story lines are drying up. Gotta have Harris call in an airstrike on an illegal Chinese trawler.
I was going to say the same. Funny it gets written off today as a hoax when tons of people had to fix slews of bugs. It could've been bad, but fortunately the worst I heard about was some people getting stuck in some elevators.
How about we get someone who can win in a swing state so we can avoid Trump? Because right now from the polling it looks like Biden can't.
I'd vote for a literal corpse with a (D), but there's voters who are somehow undecided or ambivalent about fascism. The fact remains that the polling shows this hurts Biden in required swing states which is extremely concerning.
Saying that Biden needs to be replaced is not the same as saying don't vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate. I've been screaming into the void telling people to vote on Lemmy and even I think he needs to be switched out. The post debate polling is that damning.
If the dems shove it down our throats I'm still voting for him, but there's still a narrow window to get a better candidate and we should take it.
We are growing alfalfa in the deserts of Arizona with water from aquifers, so it sadly needs to be said.
The article might have been well-informed and factual
Like many substacks purporting to give health information, its a massive link dump filled with unsupported suppositions in between. Reading all the links provided would give much more accurate information.
In the final paragraphs his insistence that everyone should be keto and not use any form of sunscreen gives away the fact he's a crank.
The point of an armorer on set is that they ensure that the guns aren't dangerous. The typical rules about "don't aim at something you don't want to destroy" doesn't apply in a movie because otherwise all the action sequences would look dumb with people firing wildly at the ground. How stupid would it look if John Wick shoots at the floor and blood spurts out of the guys face.
That said, anyone who hires a scab armorer gets what they pay for and deserve to be prosecuted.
