Apparently, you can but it depends on the species as not all are amenable to the technique. https://content.ces.ncsu.edu/grafting-and-budding-nursery-crop-plants

To bring about Putin's demise, don't you think one would need to be more devious than him? Do good guys win dirty games?

I think @CharonY knows German and might have a clue reading the words.

Like someone said to me recently: You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.

As long as it's not Kelly Loeffler or Marjorie Taylor Green. Those two women are BSC... they'd sell their own mother.

The operators were not slap-happy, they were inexperienced. The blue light may have been Cherenkov radiation reflecting from the reactor in to the air through the blown off top of the reactor housing. https://videos.dailymail.co.uk/video/mol/2019/08/19/6360617742329267503/1024x576_MP4_6360617742329267503.mp4

'Right of Way', relates to walkers and cyclists using paths and tracks due to historical use. If a path or track is used continuouslyfor more than 13 years, iirc, it becomes a right of way in terms of access to those users and cannot be blocked to them.

Except if WVM gets caught, he's liable by default now. There's no legal contest. Most pedestrians will use their commonsense and check for in-turning traffic, and I think most pedestrians will just let them turn in before crossing. I'm totally deaf wrt things I can't see and it may cover my ass when I forget to look behind me, although I usually do.

Yes, they are still stuck in certain mindsets, where many people were in the UK pre-30-40 years ago. The more progressive people were called the 'Loony Left' iirc. It's fear of the unknown.

You need to stop just focusing on the official Russian version of events.

It depends much on what media echo chambers you spend your time in. He has clearly motivated the less intellectually able and naive, as well as those more able who see him as a vehicle for their own personal advancement. America is a big country with a lot of isolated people distributed thinly and not well-connected compared those those in the big cities.... he appeals to the former, it seems.

A ray of light, maybe:

Operative word is 'hope'.

Here's hoping one of his misdemeanors takes him out of circulation before then.

I think we are looking at this wrong due to looking at in isolation. We only have to look for the actual founding parents of the domestic chicken:

I think this is a case of just because we might not know here doesn't mean it wasn't a transfer from some older medical technique or concept. I agree with Peterkin that no idea is conceived in a vacuum.

You can get battery ones as well.

The ice box, if it has one, will be unusable in no time if it has one, from condensing and freezing more moisture due to inceased exposure to external ambient air. A comfort plug light for children would be ideal and addresses the need for low intensity.

I think a fair few synthesised drugs are just analogues of material found in nature. Aspirin is salicylic acid with an acetyl group attached. Salicylic acid, from willow bark, was the original drug used for headaches etc, then chemists found out how to copy it and make it more refined with a predictable dosage. With raw materials you don't know how much of the active ingredient you are taking or impurities that may be harmful.

Placebo is a potent effect. I have pretended a yellow Smartie;/M&M will kill my headache, and it does. Headache tablets work in a few minutes. I've had a nagging toothache for days, then I walk into a dentist and it subsides. Powerful stuff, the mind.

They are viewed less scientifically because they haven't, thus far, passed scientific scrutiny for claimed treatments. That's why it's seen as snake oil. Absolutely. I've had a lot of experience in the past with cannabis, "herb"' is a common euphemism, and I think I understand it quite well, and where it might be useful for things like stress management, but the claims made for thc, cbd and other derivatives just makes my eyes roll. It seems to me these people are trying to justify their recreational use by referring to medical research for particular applications as a justification for using it recreationally; if they are honest with themselves. I just wanted to get out of my head to block the world out and feel different... escapism, basically. It was symptomatic of a problem I had, rather than a solution.

I read earlier that it's been noticed everytime something has been suggested, he's done a 180 after pressure from both houses and Europe. Just read today he said the US will not turn it into WW3 by having US personnel actively fighting.... He has a good approach: says 'no', then waits for the feedback and what consensus there is for the idea. Consensus is critical in this scenario. I think those SU-29's that's been offered, and he's said 'no' to, will wing there way to Ukraine.

You'll be interested to know that: On topic:

I meant in principle. Apparently, some English soldiers, four I think, have gone AWOL to go there. As an analogy this situation is like you and I playing chess, but I've got Gary Kasporov secretly texting me moves. It's Gary that's really playing you. I'm his proxy.
