You all know for a fact that it will be.
Video shows doctor with measles treating kids. RFK Jr later praised him as an ‘extraordinary’ healer

According to the latest Nielsen streaming report, Gunsmoke is one of the top 10 most-watched acquired series across all measured streaming services.
How specific.
Nice to see someone saying it.
Judges do not have the authority to call up the army. They could try.
Considering that almost every egg dish I make requires whole, unscrambled eggs...no. Doesn't work.

I will look into pruning the neighbors' house.
Excalibur is great if you're up for the price tag.
In movies, they get taken down by a single hero. Not very realistic.
He said the university was pushing politics and ideology.
Oh yeah, they're the ones doing that.
I'd love to have some plums, but I don't have a lot of room for them.
Yeah, neo-nazis. They grow potatoes and neo-nazis.
The state is beautiful, but the people aren't. They grow potatoes and neo-nazis.
I built a couple makeshift trellises for my pea plants.
You can cross-pollinate plants by using a little paintbrush to catch and move the pollen.
Summer fire season for many of us.

Imperial College project could lead to less invasive testing and combat increase in antibiotic resistance
Jodie is a canine with special powers, scientists have discovered. The golden labrador can smell and identify particular bacteria and could soon play a key role in helping researchers develop a programme in which dogs could sniff out individuals infected with dangerous microbes.
The project, recently launched by scientists at Imperial College London, could be vital in the battle against antibiotic resistance as well as the treatment of patients with lung disease and other conditions, they say.
“We believe Jodie and her fellow medical detective dogs point to a new way to spot infected individuals, just by having a sniff of their socks or shirts,” said Professor Jane Davies at Imperial College.
“They could become a major help in tackling antimicrobial resistance and conditions like cystic fibrosis.”
Cystic fibrosis is one of the world’s most common inherited illnesses. A def
The best thing about not living in Chinatown anymore is that New Year's fireworks are only on New Year's Eve
I spent a few years living in the international district (Chinatown, Japantown, Little Saigon) and people would set off fireworks and firecrackers in the neighborhood for days or even a couple of weeks after New Year's. And then again on Chinese New Year's. And there's also this group that likes to go and bang on drums while marching around the neighborhood at those times. It was awful and it made my dogs so stressed out.
Now that I live in a mostly Vietnamese neighborhood outside of the international district, I only hear fireworks on New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year's. It's great not having to worry about whether or not I should drug my dogs for days on end.
I personally enjoy fireworks displays, but I don't think they should be allowed by unlicensed people at their own homes.
Help remembering a horror movie
About 4 years ago, I watched a movie which I enjoyed but can't for the life of me find. It involved a white couple getting lost in deep rural Appalachia and getting taken in by a cult-like small family in the middle of nowhere.
I don't remember the details very well since it was a few years ago and I watched it pretty late at night. I think it involved the woman being drawn in while the man wasn't, and there being murder (in a shed?), but that could be me mixing different movies up.
Does anyone know what it might have been?
