I just planted some lawn grass between the sidewalk and the street (six foot section), wrapped around a fire hydrant, and it looks bitching. Patched up some bullshit out back with the rest of the buckets.
Just makin' my contribution to prevent soil runoff and all that sorta thing.

FWIW - I'm not doing this because of local ordinance but because I finally figured out how to grow lawn grass successfully. I have a Lawn Nazi up the street and I guess I'm just following orders.
[France24] Profits from Covid-19 jabs have helped at least nine people become billionaires, a campaign group said Thursday, calling for an end to pharmaceutical corporations' "monopoly control" on vaccine technology.
"Between them, the nine new billionaires have a combined net wealth of $19.3 billion (15.8 billion euros), enough to fully vaccinate all people in low-income countries 1.3 times," The People's Vaccine Alliance said in a statement.
The alliance, a network of organisations and activists campaigning for an end to property rights and patents for inoculations, said its figures were based on the Forbes Rich List data.
"These billionaires are the human face of the huge profits many pharmaceutical corporations are making from the monopoly they hold on these vaccines," said Anna Marriott from charity Oxfam, which is part of the alliance.
In addition to the new mega-rich, eight existing billionaires have seen their combined wealth increase by $32.2 billion thanks to the vaccine rollout, the alliance said.
[Summit] A professor with close ties to the Communist Chinese Government has declared that his country ’defeated’ the U.S. in 2020, winning a biological war, and putting America ’back in it’s place’.
The comments were made by Chen Ping, a Senior Researcher at The China Institute of Fudan University, a CCP affiliated think tank, and a professor at Peking University.
The video, which appeared online recently, was translated by New York-based Chinese blogger Jennifer Zeng:
[American Thinker] I’ve shied away from reporting on events in Maricopa because it would require more hours than I have in a day to track intelligently the back-and-forth in that recount. My touchstone there is the fact that the Democrats’ and NeverTrumpers’ ferocious efforts to stop the count strike me as the actions of people with something to hide. Otherwise, they’d be there helping to prove that they’re right. Events in a small town in New Hampshire, though, are more interesting because a low-key audit may reveal serious election anomalies harming Republicans.
Windham, New Hampshire, a town of 14,853 people, has long been a stalwart Republican stronghold in an otherwise Democrat state. As was the case throughout New Hampshire, it relied on AccuVote machines to collect and tally its 2020 votes.
When the election in Windham ended, Kristi St. Laurent, the Democrat candidate, had lost by only 24 votes. With that close a margin, she naturally demanded a hand recount.
The hand recount revealed something very peculiar: St. Laurent hadn’t lost by 24 votes; she’d lost by 420 votes. In a small election, that meant that her margin of defeat wasn’t 0.005% but was, instead, 9.6%, which is a significant loss.
That same recount revealed an even greater anomaly: Across the board, in every Windham election, Republicans had been shortchanged and Democrats had been overcounted:
Yet this new Liberalized generation fails to see the impact such Fraudulent voting will have on them in years to come. As it is applied time and time again to accomplish the goals of the few, to control the many.
[AlAhram] Important consequences are already becoming clear of the Israeli war on Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
The war on Gaza rages on. Yet, already important consequences are clear — not only for the Israeli-Paleostinian struggle, but also for the strategic scene in the Middle East as a whole.

^Ever spend 8 hours washing plates (discotheque in IDF slang)? How about cleaning a 500 liter cooking pot (submarines cause you do it from the inside)?

2000 dishes, and cups, spoons and forks. And then sweeping a mess the size of a mall. Or sweeping three floors as big as a small hotel lobby. And punishments along the way [it's never good enough]. Then fall in for drills. Every week for three years. I've helped cook for 6000 men once. What a drag.
But walking around the stupid market, looking at stuff you're not even buying? No, just no.
Me, gazing at two seemingly identical items of footwear, "They both look nice."
"I'll never take you shopping again!"
Me, "That's the plan..."

Idiots, all of you. If you really don’t have a preference, the answer is along the likes of “ Darling, I can’t choose — you’d be beautiful in a potato sack,” or “Which one is easier to get you out of?”
Mr. Wife wants my opinion on things like front doors, paint colours, and wall paper. I remember the time he left it to me to choose which of forty possible shades of white to paint the basement playroom. You gentlemen have no horror to compete with that.

As part of my "accords" with my wife when I retired early is I handle most laundry, dishwasher, food shopping and cooking while she continues to work. I find myself not "wanting" her messing with my appliances, all of which I had the say in model selection! Works for us.

Dron, I’m verbal, not visual — too many choices leave me overwhelmed, stressed, and unable to choose. Mr. Wife is visual, coupled with a minor in art that’s resulted in him having very strong opinions on all that stuff. We’re both infinitely happier when he gives me two or three pre-approved options to choose from, making it technically a joint decision.
Capsu78, I agree that gender stereotypes for this stuff do not work for everyone. After retiring, Mr. Wife took the lead on grocery shopping and laundry — I haven’t the energy to do what I used to before I got sick. Not to mention that he developed the laundry detergent, making him the family expert on how to use it.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
