Less than 50 lbs a year. It doesn’t make any sense to manufacture in Canada and move it across the border. It’s easier to import precursors and manufacture in the US. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/politics/us-canada-trade-fentanyl-fact-check/index.html

eta: thousands of pounds move from Mexico to the US. But it’s not a factor on the Northern border. Now if you could stop smuggling guns up here that’d be real nice.

Ask a drumline what they call it.

Are you asking about effective plantings to attract butterflies? In that case we need more information like your approximate location and hardiness zone. Or is this a whimsical question.

I am an adjunct professor. My evenings are taken for making slides and marking. I wish I had time for gaming.

Yes.

You are badly misinformed on this point.

This is the answer I got over drinks with a senior military leader. It’s too well known to hold anything interesting. He contrasted it with Mount Weather and the Cheyenne Complex. Those are still the sites for continuity of government because there is too much infrastructure to move. The sites just got additional hardening as the locations became known.

Depends on your goals. Two things are magic: playing with other people and playing live Other than that focus on the basics - always practice with a metronome. You can instantly tell who is ready to play together and who is used to used to doing their own thing all over the time signature.

Put 10% of your net pay into a low fee index fund.

Brayden, Brittany. Anything from Game of Thrones.

I have a Blackberry Playbook on my desk that I am trying to figure out how to crack. I also keep my Sharp EL-50 scientific calculator around. We had to buy that specific model because it didn’t have a persistent memory. We could turn it off and on in front of the invigilator and they would know there was nothing stored in it.

I drive a 2010 Acura MDX. When I bought it, it was one the largest SUVs in the market. When I bought it people thought it was ridiculous. Jump to today. It’s midsize. I can’t even find it parking lots as it’s dwarfed by every truck and SUV around. Including what used to be economy and entry level vehicles. I have crossbars on it for my kayak to boot.

I’d be interested in this too. I’m a bit away from the next vehicle but I was already considering going vintage for physical controls, an honest to god non-electronic mirror, and no surveillance.

I am struggling with “fair” here. I’m pretty well paid for the public sector, but the private sector would offer a 50%+ increase with a noticable loss of stability. So I don’t know. I do think they should have promoted me years ago though .

I have always identified with Lawrence “Crash” Davis in Bull Durham.

I was entranced by the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O’Brien. Sailing ships, adventure, and a little romance.

Don’t make me tap the overlay.

Dude. Seriously?

Are they any better off with it? I don’t the current rates but it used to be around a few pounds of rice. It’s desperation rates for desperate people.

Lol. Welcome to the underbelly of comparative anatomy.
