I had a neighbor who was rather compulsive about her yard. She would mow her yard/have it mowed 2-3 times a week and would use a leaf blower to push the grass clippings onto her neighbors yard every time. She would also leaf blow her roof with surprising frequency.

I gotta say, I was a little relieved when I saw the for sale sign in the yard earlier this year.

Are you a medical insurer?

Usually that kind of thing is done through a bond measure. The increased tax isn't enough to pay for a big project while it's under construction. Big projects are financed by selling bonds. Those bonds need to keep being payed back well after the project is complete.

In this case, ivermectin might actually be beneficial.

Keep it in your peripheral but don't stare directly.

The soil type you describe is what is usually recommended. I have a lot of clay in my soil so I planted my bushes on a slope that is too steep to mow. That seems to provide enough drainage. They did have a brief fungal infection on their second year, I treated with sulfur powder and haven't had any problems in subsequent years. A cheap pH meter says my soil is around 5, but I don't put a lot of confidence in its measurements.

The flowers are also beautiful and have a pleasant aroma.

It's aluminum, and I have seen it first hand. My brother is not attentive... He almost burned the house down a couple times.

Those coil heaters put out a lot of heat at full power. Once all the water evaporates, that heat raises the temperature of the pan very quickly.

Don't set a pot to boil and then go do something else in a different room, especially if that something else is playing age of empires.

We should all be so excited that a new federal sales tax that didn't go through congress, and hasn't been challenged by congress, is only at absurd levels instead of straight embargo levels.

Gravity would shred everything way before you noticed any cool time dilation effects. If somehow you became invincible, you still wouldn't see a fast forward movie of the universe, the light falling into the black hole also experiences distortions and becomes so blueshifted that you could not "see" anything. Outside observers also could not see you or anything else slow down on approaching the event horizon. Any light emitted from an infalling object becomes so redshifted, the ability to observe an infalling object fades away extremely quickly and is not infinite.
