This question didn't say anything at all about problems and I think you've overreacted.

But right after it mentions supply chain issues, it talks about unauthorized migration through the Darien Gap and the illegal cattle trade in Central America. Just saying, criticize where it's due, and Trump's due criticism for almost everything he's done, but this problem is complex and exists independently of him and independently of the United States

2000, when we were all chatting through AIM and Napster had just hit the mainstream. Unlimited, above-board piracy.

I'm not saying they didn't do damage, but did they cut funding for this? There doesn't seem to be any evidence of that. There was an outbreak in Florida in 2016 before the 2022 outbreak

No concrete reason for the northward spread has been given, and Dr. Chancey said it is likely “multifactorial.” She noted that surveillance of NWS is limited in hard-to-reach areas across Central America, and livestock often are transported through unmonitored or insufficient checkpoints.

but that was cut as part of the "government efficiency" fiasco

I hate Elon, Trump, DOGE, and MAGA as much as the next comrade, but I have seen no evidence this is the case. Where did you get this from?

This article also makes this sound like a brand new endeavor, as if this hasn't been an ongoing project for 70 years now

I'm increasingly convinced that this is yet another in a series of moves overtly intended to destroy the federal government's legitimacy.

This has been the Republican game since Reagan

Many paper wasps have very painful stings. Red hornets and yellow jackets are just two species of paper wasps

They are! Those are all paper wasps, which feed on nectar in addition to other insects, like caterpillars.

Nope, there are thousands of native wasp species in North America. Most of them are small, have no stinger, and are vegetarian. You might glance at them and think they're flies. There are tens of thousands of plant species that rely on them for pollination.

Honey bees, on the other hand, are actually invasive in North America after they were imported from Europe.

It should be noted that most wasps are vital pollinators

The general public treats pretty much all mental health diagnoses this way. Depressed, anxious, schizophrenic, bipolar, OCD, PTSD, and more are all descriptors people commonly use to describe their emotions or personality traits in a way that's completely disconnected from their clinical definitions and manifestations. Whether that's disrespectful to people who have clinically diagnosable conditions? I don't know if I'd go that far. The reality is most people just have absolutely no clue what actual bipolar disorder or actual OCD look like, and they often lack the language to otherwise effectively describe their internal experiences.

 

Some of the proposed laws rejected by Abbott, including a ban on hemp products containing THC, will be the focus of a special legislative session he has called for July 21.

 

"I've got to get Israel to calm down now," Trump said as he left the White House. "Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen. They've been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing."

 

Looks like Tesla is testing their autonomous vehicles in the neighborhood between Mabel Davis Park and Burleson Rd. Oh wait, Tesla didn't want us to know where this was happening...

 

But now I'm in bed questioning my decision.

 

so I turned on some lights.

Morning y'all, anyone able to identify this "weed?" It grows very low to the ground and has tiny blue flowers. Seems to be one of the first bloomers of the year

 

These were sold to me as Senegalia roemeriana, but really don't look like any pictures I'm seeing. Any ideas?
