I don't know much about Ogham, but from what I've read, the runic alphabet was probably developed from an alphabet used in northern Italy. That one likely descends from the Etruscan alphabet. It's muddy, as are many things

Depends on your definition of incendiary device. Wikipedia says weapons designed to start fires. I feel like a zippo thrown onto something flammable is about as far as that stretches.

I've seen a couple coat colors that don't seem right. There was one where the cat was dark blue with a very light blue around the muzzle extending up to a strip between the eyes. It was basically your normal white spotting, but

Ah. When I search for Joker's plant, the only place I'm seeing that term is actually your comment here.

I'm not finding anything call "Joker's plant". Is that a reference to something that went over my head?

I assume it was in a stand of plants of the same species. You sort of need a specimen to ID and document the species.

They said it was extremely difficult to cultivate, but they were able to get them to sprout using cold stratification... Kind of a basic technique nowadays. Lavender, hardy hibiscus, some geraniums, phlox, Chinese lantern, black-eyed susan

Thanks for linking the picture of the chicks. I had it in my head that they were cockatoo-sized. Such cool birds!

>Perhaps you're tunnel visioning on a particular kind of hierarchy, a violent dominance hierarchy. But those haven't been a thing in social animals for a while now, because tyrants meet untimely ends when the herd grows wise.

I feel like you misunderstood my post. I said that pushy, dominant horses end up at the top of the hierarchy. That pushy, dominant horse might be a good leader or it might be insecure or just plain mean and spend its time chasing the rest

If you've ever watched a herd of horses, you'd know that's not true. Dominance bubbles to the top. Pushiness bubbles to the top. If the animal is also a decent leader, then great. A lot of the time it's insecure and

There's already special registration for farm vehicles in a lot of states. The taxes are lower and that's one of the few cases where you can use pink diesel, which is also taxed differently. Trucks used as passenger vehicles are a

That's pretty standard. The usual argument is that if you are in a situation where you need to pull the trigger, you're not in a situation to risk the other person getting back up. Once you start shooting, you don't stop

Valley is not suburban Omaha. They're in the same county, but Valley is distinctly a separate city and not a suburb. Even with how far West Omaha has expanded, there's no one in the area that's going to call it a suburb

I know OPS in Omaha doesn't pay crap. Last year's pay schedule started at $43k with a bachelor's, 47k with a master's, and 51k with a doctorate. Maxes at $71,400 with a doctorate. 2022-23 starts at $44k with a ba

One suburban school district that you know of. I'm sure there are others. I'm not sure how you're extrapolating to many or all major urban school districts.

These offerings exist now, but have you tried to buy a vehicle outright in the last 10 years? At least half the salespeople I spoke to when I was looking for my truck would not even tell me the sales price of the the used vehicles on their

As your quote says, titanium has a higher strength to weight ratio. It's not necessarily stronger, and it's not necessarily "tougher" against the circumstances described than whatever type of iron they think it might
